I made it! Third time's the charm, I guess ;D
(and yes, I did move the trash can/mailbox, but it was quite by accident and then I couldn't figure out the original placement. )
Tom and Sarah were (and still are!) one of those couples that climbed Mt. Overfrost instead of visiting Lora Lora for their honeymoon. They actually met while hunting deer with their (separate) families, and fell in love. The pair of antlers on their living room wall is from that deer hunt, and Sarah insists on keeping them even though Tom has long since given up hunting and enjoys a vegetarian diet.
Immediately following their honeymoon (during which Tom lost a toe, and Sarah swears her sense of smell has never returned!) Tom returned to school and became a teacher, while Sarah pursued her dream of becoming a CEO.
A year or so into their marriage, Tom and Sarah decided it was time for something more in their family, but Sarah wasn't quite ready to take time off of work (only three promotions away from two promotions and a board member vote away from CEO!) so one day when Sarah returned from work, she found a scampering pup running around the apartment!
Three years later (and only one promotion and a board member vote from CEO for Sarah!) Sarah decided it was time to take a little time off of work, and, after two more years of trying, they finally conceived a baby! Plenty of nausea, exhaustion and trips to the toilet later, sweet little baby Daniel was born. Shortly after the bub's birth, Tom quit his job, and with his last paycheck and their nest egg, Tom and Sarah purchased a house.
Sarah picked out the farmhouse inspired outdoor siding, and Tom fought hard for ever single plant planted on the lot. Sarah's not against vegetation by any means, but the idea of decorating their new home with bushes, trees and flowers just never occurred to her.
Tom built Daniel's sandbox out of some old railroad ties; he's most definitely a DIY type. Constant projects, according to Sarah.
Since Tom has three sisters, all with children, and Sarah is the youngest of seven, they both have plenty of nieces and nephews, so the playground equipment is already getting quite a workout. Tom frequently goes over it with a jar of Uber Glue, hoping the equipment will survive long enough for Daniel to enjoy it.
[i](The empty planters are plantable planters. That's why they're empty.)
The kitchen is actually completely Sarah's domain - when she has time off of work, she will spend all day there, cooking and baking and making a right mess. Of course, Tom exchanges dish duty for the privilege to lick all the spoons.
The living room is a combination of both Sarah's favorite things - plush purple seating, extra counter space and plenty ofwine juice racks, and Tom's favorite things - his beloved fish, desk for DIY projects, and a bouncy that Daniel absolutely adores. And, of course, the antlers.
The plates featured in the dining area have been passed down in Sarah's family for seven generations. Being the youngest girl in her family, she received them following her mother's passing a few weeks after Daniel's birth.
Sarah frequently nods off in the evening when rocking Daniel to sleep, but refuses to allow Tom to place a lounger or small bed in the nursery.
Sarah and Tom's quilt was pieced together by Tom, using a ready kit. It's not particularly warm, so sometimes Sarah blames that on why she sleeps in the rocker in the nursery.
As for the bathroom, both Sarah and Tom agreed that after the teeny shower and cracked mirror in their apartment bathroom, they really wanted a nice bathtub and a full stand mirror. Sarah also began some sort of explanation that a place to go is nothing special after a long climb on Mt. Overfrost ... but I sort of tuned that out ;D

So here is my Round 4 entry, the Wilson family, with a budget of 60,000.
So with the arrival of little Daniel Sarah and Tom soon outgrew their tiny flat (apartment). Sarah had always dreamed of a little country cottage, with lots of outside space to grow their own vegetables and to have fun in. So they chose this little brick built cottage, in a tiny village in rural Hampshire (UK).
Tom loved Sarah so much that he allowed her to have her way with the countrystyle decor as long as he could have his bar and swimming pool in the garden, all safely tucked away behind a fence so that little Daniel can't fall in the pool.
Note to Judges: the smoke detector is hidden behind the wall units

Hencing - Round 4
I had loads of fun doing this house. Thank you jones7659 for a fantastic contest.
So at long last, the Wilson family. I went for a fresh, cottage-y/homely feel, with white, greens and blues predominantly throughout the house.

Coming in under the wire - could you expect anything better from all the troubles I've been having with this family? I'm not even going to bother with going over their back story again. For latest update and a short recap, Tom is into sports, he's at the top of his track and both him and little Danny's OTH is sports. Sarah is into country deco which got twisted into Nature being her OTH and is also an Ecological Guru now. Since they took their own sweet time falling in love, their careers skyrocketed and they have money coming out of their ears. Which is a good thing because Sarah and Tom want another kid or two and the house they just moved into is already too small. I'd love to tell you that Sarah is already pregnant with twins, but I'm honestly too scared to try for it yet - knowing their past troubles. They purchased this cute cottage because it's near hiking trails for Sarah and they are testing out the new neighborhood. Their small one bedroom rowhouse apartment was in Desdirata and they've moved out to Bluewater to join the rest of the contest's families. They are still shopping around for that perfect large house. I'm thinking that Pleasantview Bin farm house perhaps?
Sarah's take on 'country' is contemporary country. She doesn't care for the old grannie look because she isn't one yet. She likes things simple and bright and even sometimes a bit mismatched. While Tom is seriously into sports, he doesn't really care much about decorating. Little Daniel is the one with the most noticeable taste here. His take on 'country' is 'King and Country' so his room is a kingdom where he fights dragons. He latched on to dragons early - before he could talk, so his word for 'dragon' and 'giraffe' is 'dira'. He hasn't really figured out they aren't the same animal, so his giraffes say 'rar'. Mom and Dad thought it was adorable, so they haven't discouraged it. The best parts of this house have to be all the fantastic toddler details. They love that he loves orange, Dad's favorite color. Mom likes teal, so their wedding colors were orange and teal.
Tom and Daniel like to play castle out in the sandbox. Sometimes they are building castles, other times Daniel rides his 'dira' and lays siege to the fort (flags actually wave). The racecar was a gift from Santa during Tom's lonely winter.
Sarah is thrilled to try her hand at gardening. She loves her little greenhouse and (actually spinning!) windmill.
Inside Tom and Sarah can entertain guests while watching over Daniel in his playpen. All of his toys are accessible to him and he can't escape! On the bookcase is a secret map they found on their honeymoon and next to it is Tom's NanoWrimo book 'The Perils of Skiing'. It tanked, but he likes it. On the other side of the chair are wedding photos and their wedding album. The seashells are from their honeymoon.
In the kitchen Sarah has a small ledge for keeping track of the family's schedule or setting a pie to cool.
This is my favorite part of the house, Daniel's room! I had this done days ago but had to rearrange some things during playtesting to make sure that Danny can get in and out of his crib, play with his castle, ride his trusty stead, and that Mom or Dad can get in to change his clothes. He finished potty training yesterday; Dad was so proud!
Again, you can see more of little Daniel's 'dira' collection of dragons and giraffes. He (and mom and dad) can get him into bed even with the nightstand so close. The lamp is just his size! Books are kept up high because he hasn't yet learned not to rip, chew, or color on them yet.
And it's bath time for Sarah's two favorite redheads. No 'diras' in here, just lots of duckies!
And the top down shot. I'm sad to say that you can't see all the great photographs I worked for days to get set up, the wall near the front door has their two hobby plaques (sports and nature) a phone, my calendar that I saw Liv using (cept, I have a cooler unreleased version that tells me when it's a holiday and auto-updates the pages), and three engagement photos. The hidden wall of the dining room has little Danny still in Mommy's tummy, and two with him as an infant. The wall you can see in the dinning room are more wedding photos, similar to the ones in the living room. The photos in the master bedroom are from their engagement set and Tom has himself a little retreat to watch the game away from the rest of the noise of the house. He'll sit in the chair to watch, and if Sarah comes in, she will watch from her side of the bed.

That high pitched gasp of excitement you just heard was me.
I gotta go in and get better pictures of my Steve as I screwed up with FRAPS the last time I was in my game.
I cannot wait to see everybody's families!
UNLEASH THE STEVES!!!!

I didn't make anyone apart from Rose, although I've loved seeing how as the contest has gone on, how so many people put the family up on the walls as a picture. Not sure how that is done although I'm assuming with the career camera? I know I followed a tutorial on doing that once for a wedding photo but I’ve forgotten how now.

Thank you so much for this contest, Jones. It's been awesome redecorating the houses, and hopefully I've taken some new knowledge about decorating into my thick skull!
And it was awesome getting to meet all of you guys

@Kayls: I heart your Wilson fam! (Lollie is especially adorable). I think you and I had some kind of Vulcan mind-meld over the Wilsons (as you'll see soon...).

I cut it down to ten, and here they are...
Steve Jones is still my sentimental favorite and here's my version of him. When I made him in CAS, I thought he looked rather suave and serious. When I put him into the game, he just became a total dork. Probably one of the dorkiest sims I've ever had (which just makes me love him more).
Next is Rose Gardener (but don't ask me who that dork is in her kitchen...).
Next is my Wilson Family, enjoying the outdoors. I had another shot of the family together, but I included the good shot of Tom because I think he turned out dreamy.
And last but not least, my version of the Mason Family. These were some of the hardest to cut, I really enjoyed capturing pics of them. After Steve, they are my favorite family of the bunch.
Thank you so much Jones, and all the judges. I had a ton of fun doing this contest and you guys did an awesome job. I honestly don't care about where I place, the contest itself was the fun part. I hope I might find time to do a second one if you guys hold it.
And to Jones especially, seriously, thank you for your patience and answering all my questions along the way. I'm still pretty much a n00b around here, and you made me feel really welcome. Thanks for these families too, they're great and they're going to be in my game for a long time.
Finally, just a shout out to all the contestants, you guys (and your mad decorating skillz) rock. I've gotten a lot of inspiration from your decorating and your picture taking, and I've learned a lot too (not to mention I've gained a ton of awesome new CC, thanks for sharing!). :lovestruc

Nice too see you spotted it out I like these calendars, not only because they include my in-game picture (btw, all children from this photo except from the blonde who is riding the horse, as she's already pregnant with her 1st child, now have their own children )
EDIT: well, Mirella (the blonde toddler from that photo) has just given birth to her first child! It's a girl and her name is Małgosia (it's a contraction from Małgorzata, ENG. Margaret) So all of those kids now have their own
Gloriana, I love your version of Bill! This is the best one I've seen
lipe2k - your sims' skins look very familiar
Great pics, guys! You did an excellent job remaking the houses, but the families you made are superb! <3
I'm one of these contestants who didn't actually make the families, but... I started thinking whether contests' sims could somehow refer to my own sims from my Nieznanowo. And... Yeah, they could!
Steve Jones...
...in my game is named Adrian Wintowicz. He works in business career and owns (almost owns...) a shop which sells his own-made robots!

Rose Gardener
It was difficult choice, because mostly my male sims love gardening But it looks like Anika Koralik-Gast enjoys it a lot ^^
The Wilsons
As I don't have a country-decor-loving sim - neither female, nor male, it was the hardest decision, which family should be "them". However, Szczepan, Lena and little Filip Marks searched for new home as their old flat was too small for a growing child

2nd pic - baby Filip

The Masons
Except for Klamko family, they could also be played by the Martins.
Odetta [forgot her maiden name] and Remek Martin became parents when they were at university. After their graduation they got marired and were planing to start new life together with their newborn daughter, Beatriz. Unfortunately, they soon found out that Odetta had a cancer She died way too young
Beatriz is now a teenager and she had a happy childhood - she didn't miss her mom so much as she was raised by her loving dad and the most wonderful and caring grandparents in the world

I love these families so much, I'm loving the smorgasbord of Steves (and now I'm wishing I had suggested "A Smorgasbord of Steves" as an event title).
@Shaundak21: Your Steve is completely different than any version I've imagined in my head, I LOVE him.
@Lipe2k: Your Rose is so beautiful (and I love her dress). I totally want her to get together with your Steve.
@Liv: Your Steve is adorable as all get out, and I love his shop.
And shout out to Esmeiolanthe, I hope you post pics of your families because I've been dying to see fashion designer Steve since you posted your house, haha.

Thanks :0)
He has met a lady friend who lives across the street from him. She is the toast of the town but he may lose out being that he works so much. I'm currently building his office and having a blast doing it.
