Hunter Peacock - Showcase thread

Peacock Cottage (Studio)
Peacock Cottage is a topsy-turvy studio bachelor pad for the bachelor playboy, Hunter Peacock. It has been designed for a berry completition run by Mmdrgntbldrgn on the Sims Forum.
Peacock Cottage is inspired by the shape of the tail and colours of a peacock also considering the needs of its immature and self-centred owner. It is boldly coloured, modern, minimalist and sleek.
The ground floor consists of a kitchen dining area, a well appointed bathroom and a large bedroom outfitted with less traditional features including a bar. Hunter believes a man should never be further than 12 feet from a cold beer, even when in bed! The rest of the comments are from Hunter's POV so excuse the fact that I sound like a snobby, immature party boy! Also confusingly the sim in the pics is not Hunter!
Upstairs is a man cave and a balcony from which a gentleman who is ready to mingle can survey the passers by whilst enjoying a BBQ and a game of beer pong with his buddies.
The landscaping is rugged (it's literally a rockery!) and features a massive hot tub outback for pool parties. Clothes optional though!
Hot babes are the only heat needed in this kitchen! And there's plenty room for a keg.
Out of beer again dammit!
Juice? Who even drinks juice any more? So gross.
Gotta go find beer and honeys!
Thwarted again - don't the ladies in this town know what they're missing. Just me and my lava lamp!
Damn boy - lookin' good!
Sexy and I know it!
It's a bathroom. Whatever.
BBQ time!
I wonder when the boys are here - this TV show is whack!

The Navajo family - Inhabitants of Chiffon Cottage
This is a showcase thread for the demure yet dysfunctional Navajo family - you can find out more about them by reading about their home Chiffon Cottage here.
The Navajos are CC-free and available to download here!
The Members
Maize Navajo: This tenured professor and academic author might look like the perfect family man but really he only married as it was a requirement of his inheritance and he needed a housekeeper. He much prefers the company of his colleagues to his wife and really could care less about their daughter. All Maize wants is a quiet life and for people to see how superior he is to them in every way.
Traits - Genius, Bookworm, Coward, Dislikes Children, Snob.
Lifetime Wish - Professional Author
Favourites - Yellow, Mac & Cheese, Classical
Olive Navajo: Born in to a green family with more kid than they knew what to do with Olive saw marrying the well-respected and slightly older Maize as a ticket out of her crowded working class life. Little did she know she was moving from one cleaning job to another. In the stiflingly traditional confines of Chiffon Cottage Olive whiles away her days cooking and cleaning, caring for her daughter and trying to get over her husband's indifference to her. Olive always dreamed of kids of her own but as its clear Citrine will be an only child she dotes on her, the pair escaping to the garden whenever they can.
Traits - Family Oriented, Neat, Perfectionist, Green Thumb, Over Emotional
Lifetime Wish - Perfect Garden
Favourites - Green, Autumn Salad, French
Citrine Navajo: Little Citrine spends most of her time either with her mother avoiding her father or hiding and making believe in her tower bedroom. She dreams of a handsom knight coming and stealing her and her mom away and occasionally of her dad vanishing. Citrine likes to play music butis only allowed to do it when her dad isnt working... which is never. She also hates yellow.
Traits - Virtuoso, Absent Minded, Shy.
Lifetime Wish - To grow up and move out!
Favourites - Pink, Spaghetti, Kids
The Outfits (in scenes from their life!)
Everyday (at their annual family portrait shoot)
Formal (Dinner time is strictly observed)
Sleepwear ("You're reading too loudly!)
Athletic (We all have our place in the world)

Chiffon Cottage for a Rainbow Competition
This is a showcase post for an entry for a competition for Rainbow builds and sims hosted by @Mmdrgntobldrgn. My entry is a CC free adaptation of a build from my berrified Twinberry, Tayberry Brooks.
You can download Chiffon Cottage from the exchange by following this link.
Here's a pic of Tayberry Brooks that I love to get started and then I'll get specific! You can find more picture of the town and its inhabitants here on Colourcaste.
The models used are not the family described which is still being de-cced but instead characters from my long-running story the Monroe Legacy including current heir Lillia (the blonde). You can read about them by clicking here.
Chiffon Cottage (3br, 2ba)
Chiffon Cottage is a Victorian influenced compact family home on a 30 x 30 lot. Designed for the prim and proper Navajo family it features slightly dated but high quality furnishings. The house is over three floors and has been in the family of patriach Maize Navajo for four generations.
The ground floor features a hallway leading directly to a good-sized kitchen, with a spacious and beautifully light study to the left and access via an archway to a living-dining space, washroom and utility room.
Upstairs a large landing gives access to the master bedroom with dressing area and attached balcony, the family bathroom, a back bedroom with loft bed and study area and the small but quirky tower bedroom.
The third floor comprises the upper portion of the tower bedroom and is accessible only by the from the room below.
The house is surrounded by prim and immaculately landscaped grounds, the domain of Olive Navajo, a green who became yellow by marriage and is only really allowed the garden to express her heritage for fear of embarassing Maize in front of his academic friends.
From the moment you pass the glossy yellow front door you can tell you are in the home of sims of class... or so Maize Navajo likes to tell himself. His dull wife Olive would like to include more green in their home of ten years but why mess with furnishings that have impressed for generations?
Maize prefers to spend time in his study where he can lose himself in books and avoid the depressed look of his otherwise immaculate wife and the quiet unhappiness of their seven-year-old daughter Citrine.
The study is light and luxurious, full of books and journals, contains the houses only computer and best of all the door locks!
While Maize is in the study Olive is usually cleaning or cooking in the kitchen, he gets mad if she stays out in the garden when he's home. Olive wishes the kitchen was a little more up to date, Maize wont even pay for a dishwasher though, saying he doesn't trust a machine to do such a good job as a housekeeper. Olive wants to point out that she isn't his housekeeper but that kind of thing rarely goes down well, so she just sits in the lumpy antique chair with a recipe books and tries to look like she's not wondering when Maize will leave so she can get outside.
The only time the family spends together is meal times which are strictly observed and served in the traditionally appointed dining room.
Fancifully dubbed a living/dining room the living are consists of a single stiffly stuffed sofa in an alcove. This suits the Navajo family fine as there not enough seats for them all to be forced to spend any more time together.
The master bedroom features one of the few touches of green that Maize couldn't get rid of, the expensive European sleigh bed was a wedding gift and its' green leather insert niggles him constantly.
As a result after working late (most nights) he often goes and sleeps in his childhood bedroom. The loft bed might not be too comfortable but it is infinitely preferable to the chilly presence of his wife (or worse yet any attempts she makes to grow their family - one child is more than enough!)
The child in question, Citrine is attractive enough but spends 95% of her time alone. Worse still she seem prone to flights of fancy rather than proper academic application. Maize blames Olive for this, especially since she bought the girl a guitar to let her indulge her dream of being a musician rather than something more lucrative like medicine or law.
Worse still she has all her mother's tatty old toys up in her tower top sanctuary and spends hours making believe. At seven she really should have a better grasp on reality.
