Culinary Craft [with gift]
[Image: Kitchen-banner.jpg]

When you are a making a house, which room do you decorate first? For me, its always the kitchen, and I try really hard to make a kitchen to match my sim. Of course, now we have sims2 and sims3 so depending on the game I'm using I have different detailed sim requirements, but its the same concept for both games - ALL sims have kitchens!

If its a single sim, I think about what kind of sim is this, what their favourite colour, what is their life ambition, are they a knowledge sim etc.
For couples - will they want to entertain? Are they keen cooks or pizza freaks? What are their family plans?
For families - my favourite - is it going to be a dining kitchen? How do I fit that 4 person table and big fridge and cooker with lots of workspace into that starter home I made?
I also take into account the amount of money a sim has, though usually my sims have a dream kitchen and everything else super cheap.

The Challenge
Start by building a kitchen with the dimensions shown below. Decorate it as a kitchen that will be playable for a sim. Decide what sim this is for - single, couple or family.

You need: A biography of your sim

Required to be used in the kitchen
- A food making appliance (cooker/microwave/toaster oven etc)
- A food preparation surface
- A light
- A fridge or pantry
- A sink
- An object that is specific to the sim you are designing for

Optional: a table and chair(s) or bar area. If your sim eats their dinner sat on the sofa watching TV then please mention that!

Nice to have: A picture of your sim(s)

The Rules
- Maximum 10 pictures, where one of them shows the layout of the room from above
- You may link to an album with more pictures if you want
- You may place doors and windows as you like

Requirements
- Almost no building
- The Sims2 or The Sims3
- Paint or another image editing program so you can crop your images

Participation gift!

RE: Culinary Craft
It's true, the kitchen is usually the first thing I make in a new house. And I find it the hardest to decorate. It always tends to be just a bunch of counters, it's difficult to give any personality to those. I mean, in real life, a kitchen is one of the most telltale things characteristic of its owner, but in sims everything is way too sterile. That's the challenge of it.

RE: Culinary Craft
OK, I have updated the participants post - I'm not sure if Umi is doing sims2 or 3? Same for DiscoNinja? Please let me know if you want to take part and what game you will be using.

Oh - and as much CC as you like - but make sure you say where it came from if possible.
