Hey House Hunters - Meet Charlie!

Thanks for reading my blog! I am adding this entry (and subsequent corresponding entries) because it marks my very first ever Sims 2 contest entry - and I have to tell you, I placed 3rd in the contest! I was so excited to do so well on my very first that since then I have entered two more contests. Stay tuned for those to be posted as well - once the contests are over. -Enjoy!


This is Charlie Henry. She has decided she wants to buy a house. This blog post is her application for the House Hunter's Television Show.


Charlie graduated journalism school and moved back home to Belladonna Cove. She found an affordable, cozy, one-bedroom apartment and adopted Shakespeare when he was a puppy. A puppy in an apartment is fine, if you have a small breed of dog. But Shakespeare is not a puppy anymore and Charlie would like to buy a home with plenty of outdoor space for Shakespeare’s antics and more indoor space for writing and entertaining. Now that she is an established writer with 3 best-seller mystery novels, she is ready to find better living arrangements.

One of the biggest problems Charlie has with her current apartment is the teeny-tiny apartment bathroom. As a puppy, Shakespeare had no problems with bathing in the tub, but now that he is full grown there just isn’t room for both of them in the bathroom at the same time. And Charlie would soooo love to be able to take a shower for a change!

As a writer, you tend to collect those items you love most – books. And Charlie has tons of those, just no room for bookshelves! The one thing that Charlie would love most is to be able to get her books out of every room and floor in the house and onto shelves in a comfy library. The space needs to be large enough for her computer desk and a comfy chair for relaxing and reading. A nice view of a yard would be great inspiration for writing as well.

Living in an apartment also means a small eat-in kitchen. Charlie would like to have a formal dining room for dinner parties with friends as well as a kitchen and a breakfast nook with plenty of morning sun shine to get the day off to a great start.

• Why they are wanting to move to a new house
Simply put, writers block is setting in. Charlie needs inspiration and Shakespeare needs a place to roam. City life is fun, but just too distracting for a budding writer.

• What specifics they are looking for
Charlie would love to have a more formal home with a couple of bedrooms and space for a library/office. A big yard with a small lake would be great for Shakespeare and Charlie.

• What style of architecture they are looking for
Charlie would like to have a rustic style house in the country – less traffic and noise will help her stay focused for her writing career and as a journalist, she can easily work at home and submit articles for the paper via email. She doesn’t want a log cabin, just a rustic, older home with plenty of space, natural lighting, and a great location.
