Welcome to the second round of...
Extreme Sim Makeover
***NOTE: This event will feature standalone rounds rather than a cumulative format - that means you are free to participate even if you did not take part in the last round!***
The contest formerly known as “Fix That Ugly” is back with a brand new coat of paint. This game we play is a beautiful thing, but lord knows it’s also a treasure trove of eyesores: the Komeis, the Sandy Brutys, the Vidcund Curiouses of the world. Your mission is to select a particularly unfortunate specimen and work your magic until they’re red-carpet ready! Or, well, at least ready to walk down the street.
Each round will feature a different challenge, theme, or constraint on the kind of subject you can use. Some rounds will involve home makeovers, so all you Build Mode wizards, look out for those!

Round 2: Curb Appeal
This round is all about outer beauty! Select a residential lot that looks particularly ghastly from the outside - you know, the kind that your sims drive by and think "wow, I'm glad I don't live there."
Without changing anything on the inside, your task is to give the home a facelift and turn it into the envy of the town. After all, you'll feel so much better about living in a dump just knowing that you've fooled your neighbours!
Requirements:
At least 1 pre-renovation picture
At least 3 pictures of the finished exterior
Post your entry below, and don’t be afraid to get creative with your pictures!
[hr]
Rules
DO use pre-made lots only from TS2, TS3, TS4, and any of their expansion neighbourhoods/Store worlds.
DO alter wall and roof patterns, landscaping including terrain elevation, plants, outdoor furniture, doors and windows, porches/verandahs, and anything else that does not affect the structure of the home itself.
DO feel free to use CC and minimal photo editing.
DO NOT use player-built lots (unless otherwise specified by the round rules).
DO NOT alter the interior of the home.
DO NOT alter the fundamental structure of the home beyond reasonable recognition (no extensions, garages, or changes to roof pitch/shape - although you may change the roof pattern). Remember, you're only giving it a facelift!
Only one entry per person per round, please!

Deadline: May 31
