Please do not post any comments on this thread.
Welcome to Build-n-Share Challenge Archives.
Hopefully you have heard about the weekly Build-n-Share challenge for builders. If not, we hope you will visit our Official Thread at the Creative Corner board http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/21728.page , where you can find the current challenge.
The reason for this thread is because we have had many requests for an archive of the Build-n-Share challenges.
Now you can take a look at the past challenges and if you are bored, you can always use them as an inspiration, and/or to find some buildings you would like to download to your game.
If you decide to build your lot based on these challenges, be aware that your building will not be judged, but you are welcome to share them on our Builders' Boulevard http://www.buildersboulevard.com site or Yahoo! group http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/buildersboulevard/.
Each week, we offer a specific building request for builders of all levels to tackle in their own unique way. We offer different levels of experience, and those who enter receive (at the very least, because it's usually many more) one rec and a download for your work.
At the end of the challenge, winners are posted within a week and every entrant receives feedback on his or her work at the winner's circle thread: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/47204.page .
In the posts below, you will find all the information and links related to each challenge.
We hope you enjoy it, and if you would like to make any comments, please do so, but in our Official Thread at the Creative Corner board http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/21728.page , as we need this thread chat- free for the whole purpose of an Archive.
Thank you so much and we hope to see you in our challenges.
Sincerely,
Freynas & Addict

Thread for this week’s challenge: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/3599.page
This Week’s Challenge Specifics:
This week’s challenge actually consists of two projects. Creating a sim and creating a lot. You may enter just the lot or both of the challenges. Winners will be announced for each, creating an opportunity for six possible winners this week.
The Sim:
Create a representative for your building firm. This may be a “simself” or a pretty face for the public. Your sim may be uploaded with the lot or separately (from the sim bin).
The Lot:
Create your building firm. It can be a community lot or “home business.” It can be as big or small as you want on whichever size lot works best for you. You may also choose the style of your building (ie. ultra-modern, country, etc). Also create a name for your firm. This is the name we will associate with you and all of your builds in the Build-n-Share challenges. You should include this name in the description of your lot when you upload it to The Exchange.

Thread for this week’s challenge: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/15/21728.page
This Week’s Challenge Specifics:
The day has finally arrived!
The ribbon’s been cut, the cake’s been eaten, and soon it will be time to get down to some serious business.
After a whole long week of building, decorating, landscaping, and (gasp!) roofing, your firm’s doors are finally open.
You smile as you scan the (admittedly) small crowd. Just out of the corner of your eye, you see a man you don’t recognize. And he appears to have your scissors! You know, the super-big impractical ones everyone uses for such occasions. He glances around and slowly starts backing away.
“Wait a minute,” you think to yourself. “He’s taking off with my scissors!”
As a brave sim—you would have to be to start a new business in this economy—you decide to chase him!
The second you catch his eye, he looks guilty. And sad, actually.
“Um,” he says, “hi.” He scratches the back of his head and gives you that embarrassed sim look. He quickly begins to explain. “I’m so sorry about the scissors. I saw them and just had this weird compulsion.” He sighs, “I’ve been trying to get better about that.” He reluctantly passes them back.
You should be fuming, but for some reason, you actually feel a little bad for the guy. He does seem sincere.
“I know you probably want nothing to do with me, but I’d like to make it up to you. I actually came by today because I’m moving to town next week and need a new home. If you’d be willing to give me a second chance, I’d love to have you build it for me. I’ll pay and everything, I promise. I can’t exactly run off with a house full of furniture.”
It’s against your better judgment, but you consider it. Your celebration party is not even over, and here your first client. That lucky trait really is paying off.
“OK,” you sound more reluctant than you really are. “Let’s go inside.”
You usher him through the door and into the overly comfortable chair you included to get ‘em while their guard is down.
“Tell me what you need.”
“Well, I have about 16K to spend. I’d like a home with a carport, as I’d eventually like to purchase a new car so I can drive myself to work. And I’d like an entrance to the home off of the carport, too. For the inside, I’d really like the walls in neutral tones. I would like it furnished, and I want the furnishings and accents to throw in some splashes of bright color. Also, I love to paint. I would like a nice little area with lots of light to do my painting. Finally, I would like either a little attic or basement area for extra storage. I tend to accumulate things wherever I go. Funny, I know. But I don’t know, I’m just lucky or something.”
He grins a crooked grin.
“OK. I think I can do that. A week. That will be rough, but I’m sure we’ll pull it off somehow.”
After he leaves, you reach for your office set to jot down a few notes.
Funny, it was right here when you came in with…you start to second-guess your decision.
But the next morning you arrive to find the set on your doorstep tied up with a bow.
You don’t have to read the card inside.
The Challenge:
Create a home for Cody Klepto and meet as many of his wants for his new home as you can.
Budget:
$16,000

Thread for this week’s challenge: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/405/21728.page
This Week’s Challenge Specifics:
Sitting back in your chair, you take a sip of coffee. You release a contented sigh and congratulate yourself. You finished the build for Cody Klepto. It wasn’t easy, especially with that budget, but you did it.
Taking another sip of coffee, you open the daily paper.
. . .
Family homeless after Tuesday disaster
A man and his son are without a home this morning after a meteor struck their Sunset Valley home Tuesday.
“After picking up my son from school, I returned home only to find a massive, smoking meteor had crushed it,” Frank Padre, owner of the home, said Tuesday.
“Now we are working with insurance to build another,” he said. “They said the damage was too great and it cannot be repaired.”
Frank and his son Sammy have resided in Sunset Valley for the past five years.
Sammy, who has a love for all things space-related, says he still has not lost his interest in the night sky.
“The meteor was so cool! I’ve never seen anything like it,” he said.
. . .
You put down your coffee, give the rest of the story a quick skim, and flip to the editorial section. Finding what you need, you pick up the phone.
Three hours later, Frank walks into your office.
“We can’t thank you enough for your call,” he says as he enters.
“When I saw the story, I just had to do something,” you tell him. “What do you hope to have in your new home?”
“Well,” he begins, “I’d really like to have a nice bedroom for my son.”
“He seems like a great kid. Such a love of space! I know it’s probably a touchy subject, but would you like me to play off of that for his room?”
He laughs, “Yes, that would be fine. It can always serve as a reminder of his close encounter. I’d also really like to give him a play area outside. He loves the outdoors.”
“What about you, anything you want?” you ask.
“I love to cook, so a nice kitchen would be wonderful. And we love to grill. If we could have an entry to a covered patio from the kitchen, that would be very handy.”
“OK. So a space-themed room for Sammy, an outdoor play area, and a nice kitchen with an attached, covered outdoor patio area. Anything else?”
“I’d really like mostly golds and oranges for the walls. Sammy loves blue. I think some turquoise in a few places would be nice. In his room, you can do whatever you think fits the space theme.”
“And your budget is $35,000? I think we should be able to handle that!” you tell him. “ We’ll see you next Wednesday! And tell Sammy I say, ‘hello.’”
Frank smiles as he leaves.
You pick up the phone to call your father.
***This challenge is written in honor of my father and stepfather, and all the wonderful dads out there. Have a terrific Father’s Day!***
The family
You can download Frank and Sammy at the link below, if you are interested. It is not required, but some people like to include the family in their pictures or story. I have spent a little more time with customizing them and recoloring their clothes, so I hope you'll enjoy them!

A little more information about Frank and Sammy for those who don't want to download them.
Frank Padre--athletic, brave, family-oriented, friendly, natural cook;
loves lobster, Latin music, and the color orange
Sammy Padre--ambitious, loves the outdoors, neat;
loves stew surprise, pop music, and the color blue

Thread for this week’s challenge: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/705/21728.page
This is the movie orangeplumbob put together to showcase Gnomelandia http://www.thesims3.com/contentDetail.html?contentId=45580
This Week’s Challenge Specifics:
Walking up to your firm in the cool morning air, you are surprised to find a visitor. He is dressed in some of the brightest clothes you’ve ever seen. “This could be fun,” you think to yourself.
“Good morning there!” he greets you. “My name is David and I have a big building project and I heard you are the one to contact. I am the coordinator of a new town, GNOMELANDIA. Some friends and I would like to establish our own town to recognize our gnome past, and we would like you to build it! We were hoping to have it done by next week.”
“A whole town?!” You exclaim. “By next week?! I may have to call in some reinforcements.”
“A collective project. I like that,” he replies. “The gnomes are always one for teamwork. Well, what we would like is a little town with all the usual establishments, and a few more specific ones. I’ve created a list for you.”
He hands you a rather lengthy list.
“We would like the structures to have stone exteriors. And we don’t want anything to look modern. The insides should be bright and colorful. Not so much pastels, more the bold shades of colors. As much as possible, we’d like to keep an older feel to the town. We can still use modern appliances like refrigerators and lights, but we would like to avoid most of the unnecessary items/modern “conveniences” like microwaves, dishwashers, and cars. We do like to dance, though, so stereos are OK. But if their look can be somehow disguised a bit, we would appreciate it.”
“OK, I’ll call all my fellow builders for this one. Together, I think we should be able to manage. Gnomelandia…sounds like a fun place!”
“Thank you so much!” He shakes your hand rather vigorously.
“Oh!” he exclaims. “One more thing…we descendents of gnomes love games. We want a game of sorts in our town. In each build, we would like you to include seven gnomes. Some can be in the open, but we would get a kick out of some hidden ones, too. Please provide a list of the hiding spots for me, though, so I can help the townspeople who can’t seem to find them all!”
He chuckles and turns to leave.
You smile at his rosy cheeks as he hurries out.
. . .
As you are turning to your phone to make a call, your second customer of the day comes trolling in. He does not look quite so friendly as the first.
“Hello, I am here to add to the request for the town of Gnomelandia. There are a few of us who will live on the edge of town who are not so into the ‘bright colors’ mentioned by my, uh, neighbor. I’d like to add a few builds to the list that he probably forgot.”
He takes the list and begins to scrawl across it.
“OK, that should do. We want an old look, too. But no bright colors. We like it a bit more dark.”
“Hmm, well, I’d feel more comfortable if David had mentioned them, but I suppose you have a right to your request, too. I will forward this info to the building cooperative. I think we should be able to manage.”
“Very well, then,” he says as he walks out.
“Strange,” is all you think to yourself.
This week’s challenge is a neighborhood project. Similar to “street projects” at Sims 2, everyone will sign up to build one lot for the project. You can find the sign-up list created by David and his gruff “friend” here:http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/42916.page#348407. Please read the top post and follow the instructions to sign up for your favorite available lot.
This week, there will be no “winners,” as it is a cooperative project for the launch of an entirely new town. However, several judges will be rec’ing every entry, I will download each lot, and you will be listed in the large post that will announce the new town here on the forum, where many simmers are likely to see your work.
The builds should follow the requirements above. Hopefully you will know which on the list are from the “gruff friend.” If you have any questions about the style of your build, please let me know. The Earth Mother’s home should probably be a bit more subdued, maybe even with some pastels. The tree houses may be made out of wood.
To those building residential lots: You are welcome to create an accompanying family if you like. The wizard has been accepted by a talented creator, Emelye. I have asked FieryFemale to create the Earthmother, but haven't heard back yet. All other sims are still available.
Didn't sign up for residential but want to create a fam? Go ahead and upload them from create-a-sim and they can be extras that others can place as they like. Remember to try to keep them somewhat "gnomey" and oldfashioned, or if you want a rebel/troll, you can go for that, too.
Please sign up for your lot on the linked thread. To post photos of your wonderful creations, please use the PHOTO THREAD found here:

Sincerely,

Alright, so I figured since all the Gnomelandia lots are all grouped together , the FAMILIES should be included as well! Many of these creations are just as fabulous as the buildings, so the community should be well aware of these great additions to Gnomelandia. If you didn't get a chance to make a home or lot for Gnomelandia feel free to use CAS to create some unique Gnomes, Trolls, etc. for our great new town! If I missed your link, or you have added a new family just post below and I'll be sure to add it to the master list when I get a chance.

Thread for this week’s challenge: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/990/21728.page
This Week’s Challenge Specifics:
Buried in paperwork one Wednesday morning, you can’t help but think, “I need a holiday.”
GNOMELANDIA was a lot of fun and a huge success, but what an organizational challenge. So many builders, so many requirements, and in just one week?! But you smile to yourself as you think, “This is what friends are for. And we made it great!”
A man clears his throat.
Whoops! Must have gotten lost in your thoughts.
When you look up, it’s all you can do not to laugh.
Standing in front of you is an image straight off a wartime poster. Your own, flesh-and-blood, Uncle Sam!
“I want you…” he begins. Then he laughs. “I’ve come today because I hear you do great work, and I would love to have you build a park for our Fourth of July celebration this year.”
“A park? That’s a new experience for me. Are you sure you’ve got the right builder?”
“Oh yes, I’ve seen your work. I have every confidence that you can do it and do it with style.”
You feel compelled. This man…so persuasive. After all, he is a politician. And, of course, the symbol of patriotism around the country.
“I would really like a place the whole family can gather for the big day, with activities for the youngest sims, to the sims a little closer to my age,” he points to his gray hair. “And all ages in-between. They will be there all day of course, so we need to make sure to provide all the necessities as well.”
“A park.” You begin to like the idea. “I think that could be fun. Any other particulars I should know about?”
“We have a big party planned with lots of food. So we’ll need a covered area with some buffet tables and seating for at least 20. It can be a gazebo, pavilion, picnic shelter, or an enclosed building. No matter what you choose, it should have great views of the park. Of course we also need a place where families can enjoy the fireworks.”
“Do you have a particular budget?”
“Budget?! This is the U.S. government. We’ll find the money. Maybe tax those juice bars everyone seems so fond of.” He laughs again, “But seriously, we’re at the end of our fiscal year, and any money we don’t spend is lost. So spare no expense! Make it the best park you can, and don’t worry about the cost.”
“Now that’s a breath of fresh air. Unlimited budget. Not a challenge I get every day.” You smile to yourself, “I’ll do it.”
Uncle Sam salutes you. “Your country thanks you.”
He walks out, whistling a Sousa tune as he goes.
Please use no larger than a 40x40 lot for this challenge.
I think that's achievable. If I'm wrong, let me know. I'm just concerned about our judges having to continually bulldoze to place 20 60x60 lots...
Uncle Sam
You can download Uncle Sam here, if you like:

Uncle Sam's info for those who don't want to download:
Uncle Sam is ambitious, brave, charismatic, friendly, and good. His favorite color is blue, his favorite music is Classical (and maybe a little Sousa), and he loves a good hamburger (almost as much as apple pie). He aspires to reach the top of the Political Career.

Thread for this week’s challenge: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/1155/21728.page
This Week’s Challenge Specifics:
Enjoying the beautiful sun, a tofu dog, and most importantly, the day off, you watch the residents of Sunset Valley enjoying Uncle Sam’s new park.
Sammy Padre goes zooming by, rocket in-hand. He runs just to the edge of a picnic blanket, where you spot his father, Frank, who seems to be accompanied by a rather beautiful brunette. He smiles and waves as he spots you.
At the picnic area, you spot the back of another former customer. You’d know that orange vest anywhere. But what is Cody doing? You’re afraid to look. Much to your surprise, when he turns away from the table, more appears to be there then when he arrived. “He does try,” you think to yourself.
Uncle Sam is making his rounds, shaking as many hands as possible. You’d like to say “hi,” but you know he is busy being the consummate host of this large “party.”
As you contemplate another dog, you are approached by a small family. The mother is the first to greet you.
“Hello,” she says, “I’m Sheryl Sharp. This is my husband, Derek; daughter, Latoya; and mother-in-law, Loretta. We don’t want to be too much of a bother, but we’ve been meaning to find you. You see, we’re looking to build a new home.”
“My mother has decided she is finally going to come live with us, and we’d like a beautiful new home to share with her,” Derek adds.
“We’ve made a list,” Sheryl says, “because we don’t want to take too much of your time here and we each have some specific things we’d like.”
You smile and reach for the list. “A list is always great! Helps me stay organized and focused during the planning and building of your home. Let’s see what you have.”
Family Wants
A single-story home
No larger than a 40x40 lot (upon further consideration, a LITTLE bigger is OK)
1 main home with 2 BR and 1.5 BA
1 smaller build with a little apartment for Loretta
The Main Home
Interior of the main home in shades of brown, yellow, white/cream, and purple (Special Note: (it says) please no gold. And try to use just these colors as much as possible. You can use them in any hues and combination that looks good to you).
1 master bedroom for Derek and Sheryl
1 bedroom for teen Latoya, with a small reading and study area
A little spot for Derek to exercise. Should be tucked away and not a focal point in the home.
The Smaller House
Apartment for Loretta (elder) with small kitchen, full bathroom, bedroom, and small sitting area for entertaining
An office for Sheryl
Between the two homes
A beautiful garden
A stone path joining the two homes
A small area for outside entertaining with a grill and a bistro table and chairs
Budget
$175,000
“We know there are a lot of specifics,” Latoya adds. “But this is kind of our dream home.” What a great smile…charismatic, that one.
“I think I can do it,” you add. “So you want one story, and two builds…a main home and a smaller build for Loretta with an office for Sheryl. You specify colors for the interior of the main home. Any specifics for the smaller build?”
Loretta speaks for the first time. “Well, honey, you’re the professional. But I do love flowers and I prefer pastels. I’d love a great view of the garden outside.”
“The office can be whatever combines nicely with Loretta’s small home,” Sheryl adds. “But I would like a separate entrance to the office so I don’t have to disturb her if I work early or late.”
“Oh, it’s no trouble, Sheryl. I just know how my boy snores…” Loretta teases.
“So I think that’s everything,” Derek, embarrassed, ends the conversation. “Plus, I think the band is about to come on.”
“OK, I’ll have it for you next week,” you give Derek a smile and help him out.
“Oh, honey, make sure you get some rest! One week, that is faaast!” Loretta says.
Each member of the family shakes your hand. Loretta offers a hug.
“What a nice family,” you think to yourself. The wheels in your head start turning as the music begins.

This Week’s Challenge Specifics:
As the door opens your nose takes in the sweetest smell. Honey! And Biscuits!
You look up to see a smiling couple walking through the door, and the female appears to be bringing you a plate of warm biscuits with honey!
“Now that’s the way to butter me up for a build,” you think to yourself.
“Hello there,” a friendly man shakes your hand and shares a warm smile. “This is my wife Honey, and I’m Abraham. We’re The Biscuits.” He laughs as he adds, “And to make sure you don’t forget us, we’ve brought you a pleasant reminder. Honey’s biscuits cannot be beat! We’re hoping they’ll bring in guests from miles around!”
“Now, Ham,” Honey teases, “I’m sorry. My husband sometimes gets a little ahead of himself. We’re coming to you today because we have a dream of opening our own bed and breakfast. The biscuits will be a special treat for our guests. And we hope you’ll enjoy some this morning, too.” She graciously hands you the plate.
“Our old home is just getting too lonely for us,” Ham picks up the conversation. “We’d love to remodel it into a cozy bed and breakfast. Do you do remodels?”
He’s caught you a little unaware. You were hoping for a little more detail to allow enough time to enjoy the remainder of your biscuit. Getting the words out despite your full mouth, which you politely shield with your hand, you manage to choke out “Sure!”
“See, Ham? Everyone told us we were coming to the right place!”
“OK, well, what we would like is to convert our home. Some know it as ‘The Old Spenster Place.’ We’re from nearby Riverview. Anyway, we’d like to leave all of the exterior walls untouched, as the place is a bit of a local landmark. You are welcome to change the landscaping and surrounding fences, though. But most of your work will take place inside. We’d like you to completely overhaul it. On the first floor, we want some quiet places for guests to unwind at the end of their busy day touring the town.”
“Don’t forget the kitchen! I’d love a beautiful kitchen for cooking, and it would be nice if it could open onto the back patio, where we will serve breakfast each morning and an afternoon snack.”
“I was getting to the kitchen, Honey!” Ham chuckles, “Yes, the kitchen is a critical part of the home. We’d also like at least one half bath on this floor, if you can manage it. On the second floor, we’d like to offer four guestrooms. We’d like two of them to be tailored to couples. The other two should be for families with children; maybe one for a family with a baby…”
“Oh, and please make sure that one includes a fridge so they don’t have to trek up and down the stairs for bottles!” Honey chimes in again.
Ham picks up where she leaves off. You get a feeling they do this a lot. “And the other family room should have a single bed, too, for a child or teen visitor. All of the guestrooms should have their own full bath as well. And we’d like each of them to have access to one of the beautiful balconies with at least two chairs outside their room for enjoying the rising or setting sun.”
“The final thing you may be wondering is, ‘Where are you going to stay?’ Well, there is a garage on property, and it should be enough for the two of us. We’ll be out-of-the-way but close enough to check in on things and be tracked down if anyone needs anything. We just need a bed, full bath, and small kitchen with dining table in our little home. If you want to change the garage front, we’d like to take out the garage door and add windows and a door to make it look a little more like the entrance to a home,” Honey adds.
“We would like the home to cost no more than $275,000 once it is all furnished and complete,” Abraham adds the last important detail.
“I’ve never done a remodel,” you remark. “I know of The Old Spenster Place. A beautiful build. I will leave the outside walls untouched, but I’d like to work on that landscape a bit and maybe change the bordering fence, as you suggested. I can’t wait to see inside!”
“Well, enjoy that plate of biscuits from Honey, and let us know if you have any questions!” Ham says as he begins to help Honey out of her chair.
You stare at the beautiful plate and the pile of biscuits remaining. “These are all for me?” you ask, stunned.
“Oh yes, dear. We hope you’ll enjoy them.”
“Woot,” you think to yourself, “snacks for tonight’s marathon of old reruns of The A-Team.”
“Thanks so much,” is all you share out loud.
A note to those who saw the original BISCUITS post:
The original lot had a bug pointed out to me by Sparkle last night. For this reason, I have changed the lot to this new one, which I actually think is better. You can download the home here, or locate it in Riverview across from the island with all the community lots. You will need to evict The Spensters if you use this method, however.
You can download the Biscuits here, if you wish:

P.S.In your upload, I would probably put in the description that it is an EA Remodel so people don't think you are "plagiarizing," even though a vast majority of the build will be new.

Thread for this week’s challenge: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/77253.page
This Week’s Challenge Specifics:
A starter for the Calientes!
Looking up at the man in front of your desk you see the largest green eyes you’ve ever seen before.
“Hello,” the man shakes your hand. “We’re the Calientes.”
The name seems somewhat familiar…but you can’t quite place your finger on from where.
“Hello to you all,” you say to the three beaming faces behind him.
“This is my wife, Nighat, and our daughters Nina and Dina. My name is Flamenco,” he shakes your hand again with the full introduction.
“You see, the spa in our town was recently bulldozed, as little rabbit hole lots with all the essentials in one place are so popular these days. So we swooped in and bought the land. It’s a small parcel, only 21x22, but it should be enough for our new home, we think.”
“Oh, that shouldn’t be a problem. We can always build up!”
He laughs, “What we would like is a 2-bedroom home. One for my wife and I, and one for the girls to share. They are very close.”
You look at the two, who blush a little.
“They even dress the same, except Dina always has to have her purple and Nina prefers pink. We’d like to incorporate the two colors into their room. And we’d like it to be a room that they will enjoy until they leave us for college, which will be way too soon, I’m afraid. If you could give each girl a little area of her own, that would be nice, too.”
“Any request for your room,” you ask.
“Oh, nothing in particular. It’s always nice to have a bathroom attached. Maybe one that has a door to the hall or whatever room it is next to, if that works. Don’t want the visitors traipsing through the bedroom to use the facilities!”
He laughs at his own joke. Nighat looks a little embarrassed.
“As far as colors, I’m not sure my wife and mine go together too well…brown and black.” He laughs again, “but if you want to give it a go, you are more than welcome.”
Nighat chimes in, “but only in the bedroom, please. We don’t want the house to be too dark.”
“OK, anything else?”
“A little yard for the girls to play would be nice. Otherwise, we’ll leave it up to your capable hands.”
And with that, the family turns to go.
Each of the girls gives a fleeting glance over her shoulder. Those eyes…so unusual.
You grab your keys to go check out the lot.
. . .
Some notes:
This week’s home should be built on the 21x22 spa lot in Sunset Valley. It is to be a family starter with a value no more than $20,000. In your final upload, if you label it as a starter, please clarify that it is a family starter so those with just a single sim will not expect it to be move-in ready for their small family. If you are building in a neighborhood where you also play, you will want to place the spa elsewhere in your town so your sim can visit. I recommend starting a new town just for building, however.
A note about depreciation:
There was a lot of stress last time about depreciation. The only rule is this: Please do not play the lot to devalue it. If you exit the home in build mode, some of the items will depreciate (go down in cost). This is absolutely OK! I just don’t want people playing the home for 2 sim weeks to fit in a bunch more items. This is intended to be a starter, so money is a little tight but adequate.
The family:
If you would like to download the family for your photo shoot, you may find them here:
http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=775331
If you are interested in the Caliente girls as young adults, I will be uploading them this afternoon.
Starter tips:
I have recently written a starter tutorial. You may find a few tips that will help in cutting some costs here. I have yet to write the next two, but one of the biggest additional tips I would give you is to buy the cheapest of everything and make it look better through CAS. Look for more on this in my next two tutorials, which will probably be out next week.

Thread for this week’s challenge: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/83032.page
This Week’s Challenge Specifics:
You decided to stop by the community pool during your lunch break for a quick refreshing dip in the pool. Arriving at your office, you pass by your assistant, who was looking quite strange with a clothespin clamped over her nose.
In a nasaly voice, she says, "You have a client waiting in your office."
You decide not to inquire about the clothespin and open the door to your office, where an immediate waft of air immediately hits your senses and you understand why your assistant has that thing over her nose.
The nervous man quickly stands up and reaches for your hand. "Hi. My name is Jimmy. Jimmy Applejacks."
You regretfully take his hand for a quick sweaty handshake before taking a seat at your desk, reminding yourself to wash your hands as soon as the client leaves.
"What can I do for you Mr. Applejacks?" you inquire.
"Please, call me Jimmy," he responds and continues. "I think I am in way over my head. You see I recently bought a piece of land after moving out of my mom's basement."
The smell was getting to you, but you try your best to continue to listen, crinkling your nose a bit.
"You see... I thought I could build a house myself, and I have... but... Well, I don't know quite how to explain so I brought some pictures." He then ruffles through a pocket and produces some bent photographs, laying them out across your desk.
"Oops, not that picture. I don't know how that got in there. That's the picture I used for my online dating profile," he laughs nervously before shoving the picture of him back in his pocket.
Not wanting to get too off topic, you quickly respond, "Well, Jimmy. How may I rectify your housing issue? What are you looking for?"
"The house I have built has suited me just fine. I have everything I need, as you see. But I have put myself on the market and I am hoping I can have a place where I can properly entertain and have the laaadies over, and eventually... maybe I will settle down." After a pause, he then adds, "Oh, by the way, is your assistant out there single? She is mighty pretty."
You cough a little and attempt to swing the conversation back to the house. "So what are your requirements for the house?"
"At least 3 bedrooms and 2 baths so I can eventually accommodate a family, but what is important to me now is an impressive master bedroom," he begins to blush a little before continuing. A pool would be nice and maybe a nice bar/lounge area somewhere in the house. Oh, I also need a nice office for all my computer equipment."
"What about a style? Any architectural or design style you prefer?" you ask.
"I'll leave that solely up to you as you are the expert. I am no good with those things and that is why I have come to you," he replies. "Whatever is pleasing to the eye and suits a bachelor.. something that will impress the ladies and will not scare them away."
You try your hardest not to suggest a few helpful hints about actually showering, but you hold your tongue. "What is your budget?"
"I've already sunk quite a chunk of simoleans into this build and I would like to salvage as much as possible, so if we can keep all the objects I have there now, that should help with my remaining budget of around 43k simoleans. That is everything I have."
"Hmm, I think we can swing that," you reply. At least it wasn't another starter!
"Oh, one last thing," he says. "I don't have anywhere else to stay, so I will have to live on the property as you build. I hope that won't be a problem?"
You think about it for a second and respond, "I guess we can see how that works out. Hopefully we will be done and you will have a proper place to live in a week."
With that, you stand and start to usher Jimmy out of the office, unable to stand his smell anymore.
. . .
Some notes:
This week’s home needs to be downloaded from here. http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=842687
This is not quite a renovation, but you are required to reuse all of the objects currently placed on the lot. Feel free to change any walls, foundations, doors, and windows. You can place this on any 20x30 lot. The challenge this week is to build a mid-range house with Jimmy's remaining funds, as you will be building this with him on the lot. This means some pre-planning might be needed! He has around 43k simoleans left to spend, so you should be able to build a decent sized house from that. Absolutely no kaching or motherlode cheating!
Optional Side Challenges:
Roof Pitch Challenge
Adjust your roof so it has different pitches. If you don't already know how to, please study these links.
Make-Over Challenge
Using only the dresser and the mirror (no cheats or hacks allowed!), make over Jimmy so he is more presentable to the ladies.
Marriage Challenge
Find Jimmy a wife!

Thread for this week’s challenge: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/88276.page
This Week’s Challenge Specifics:
Back to school,
back to school,
to prove to Dad that I'm not a fool.
I've got my lunch packed up,
my shoes tied tight,
I hope I don't get in a fight.
Oh, back to school,
back to school,
back to school.
Adam Sandler, Billy Madison
. . . . .
There really never should have been any doubt about what I would do when I “grew up.”
Ever since I was a little girl, the preparation for going back to school has always been a time I enjoyed. From the new pair of shoes, to finding my school supply list taped on the large windows of my school, I secretly loved it all. My mom probably helped in this attitude, with her chant of “Paper, and scissors, and glue!" that she would sing each year as we pushed the cart through the crowded store aisles. It was a little disappointing when I reached that age when crayons were no longer on the list, but Mom always let me get them anyway (we still enjoy a good coloring session from time to time even now!).
Today, I still find myself excited at the prospect of another beginning: another year, another learning experience. It is funny that as an adult, I still spend most of my days at school. But how appropriate. I have always enjoyed learning, and I can think of no better profession than teaching for that! Sure, 6 a.m. will be awfully early those first few weeks, but the buzz that fills the halls on those early mornings is always a little bit of a thrill. Even the fashion show that seems to occupy that first week as students show off all their new threads is something I look forward to. The lively conversations as students and teachers alike share their summer experiences make me smile.
It’s a little difficult to leave the freedom of summer behind, but there’s something about the fall that makes that move easier. The crisp air at a Friday night football game, the crunch of the leaves under my feet as I walk into the building, the friendly, familiar faces that greet me each day.
It’s time to go back to school.
. . . . .
This week, Build-n-Share will celebrate what will be life for many in the coming weeks. In many parts of the world, the school year is just beginning(sorry, Mmyoko, but think of us once you are out and on break!). To explore the thrill of back-to-school season together, we’re going to reconstruct some famous schools. Think back to a favorite TV show, movie, book, or song about school. Your mission this week is to recreate it as best as you can.
In your final entry, you should include two pictures. One is of the school you have recreated, sim-style, and the other is your creation. Pick the shot that best replicates the original to show off your work. You may include your pics in your entry form this week, but only two! Please continue to include additional pics on our picture thread and in your stories to your heart’s content. It is important that you resize your photos. If you already know how to do this, please use the procedure you normally follow. If you do not, please follow the instructions below, created by Build-n-Share member, Gheez. And if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
As a side challenge this week, we will do something much like we did in Week One of the challenge. Because there is no particular client this time, you may create your own…these should be the students and staff of that school you have created! Both your build and your sims (please create them as a single household and not as part of the build) will receive a rec this week. Only the lot will be judged, for the sanity of our judges, but the sims are sure to get a lot of recognition as well. And for the ultra-creative, a story featuring both the cast and the school will receive an additional rec.
*A note: If you plan to include a cafeteria and want to have a stove, you will need to zone your school as residential. This is fine, just please note this in your final entry form, so our judges know in which bin to look for your creation.*

Thread for this week’s challenge: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/92529.page
This Week’s Challenge Specifics:
Business was booming. When you first started your firm, you had no idea your talents would have taken you this far. With many satisfied clients and a huge portfolio to show off, you decided maybe it was time to do a bit of charity work to give back to the community.
After making a couple of phone calls, you hop in your car and drove off to Riverview, where you had an appointment set up with a representative from the "Home for the Homeless" Foundation. They were thrilled when they learned of your interest to help and had hinted at a special project they had in mind just for you.
Arriving at the foundation headquarters, you were quickly buzzed in to meet with a foundation representative, Mirabell Mayfield, an elderly woman with a soft voice and a kind face. After some polite pleasantries over a spot of tea, the topic finally shifted to your next job.
"Thank you so much for giving us a call," Mirabell says with a smile. "We have heard a lot about your firm and are thrilled you have agreed to volunteer your time for such a good cause."
"I am super excited to be given this chance to do something for the community," you respond. "Home for the Homeless was the first foundation I thought of."
Mirabell smiles warmly and continues, "The stars must be aligned. We have a very special project that we have just finalized the budget for and we would love for you to build the perfect home for this family." Mirabell then hands you a plain manila file folder.
You take the file folder and flip it open, carefully scanning each document along with some pictures. You quickly learn that the family in question is for an elderly gentleman and his daughter.
After glancing over some donation stubs, you get the impression you'll have quite a decent budget to spend as well.
As if she read your thoughts, Mirabell chimes in. "We have managed to raise 75,000 simoleans for this family. The young lady in this family frequently donates to our foundation ... and it was only recently brought to our attention that she is homeless herself -- It came as quite a shock," she paused a bit, producing a white hankerchief to dab at the corner of her eyes. "... We just had to do something."
You take one more look at a photograph of the girl before closing the file. "Wow, this is quite a special project indeed. What a thoughtful young lady. She deserves a nice home for herself. Are there any requirements we must meet?"
"Well, of course, we would like to see a nice home for Alice. We know you have excellent taste, so we're sure you will build something nice and functional for her to live in. This family has no idea we are building them a house, so it is a complete surprise. We did manage to find out a few personal details about them. You will find some of their favorites listed in that file."
Anxious to get started, you rise from your seat, tucking the file into your briefcase. You then reach out to shake Mirabell's hand. "I am going to head back to my office and start right away! Thank you for giving me such an important project. I hope I won't disappoint."
With a few more pleasantries exchanged, you head back to your car and zoom back to your office, your mind already at work.
Some notes:
Please note that you will be building his house for the adult version of Alice and elderly Kev. You can either download and build directly on their abandoned park lot or you can start fresh on a new lot. The lot size cannot exceed 30x30.
Kev Bin Diver: Dislikes Children, Hot-Headed, Inappropriate, Insane, Mean Spirited. Favorites: Indie, Lobster Thermidor, Spice Brown
Alice Bin Diver: Clumsy, Good, Loser, Unlucky. Favorites: Latin, Cheesesteak, Violet
You do not have to include Alice and Kev in your upload.
Optional Challenges:
Sunken Living Room: Create a sunken living room in the house. You can find many tutorials on this if you search around. Here is one: http://www.thesims3.com/contentDetail.html?contentId=38146
Kev's Tombstone somewhere on the property: I think this is pretty self explanatory.

This Week’s Challenge Specifics:
Autumn Winters arrives at 7 p.m. sharp, just as you arranged over the phone. You finally have a face to put with the name. You notice her well put-together attire and wonder why she needs your help for the decorating.
Autumn is confident and sticks her hand out to greet you. “It’s so nice to finally meet you; I’ve heard so many great things about your work. I just can’t believe I managed to pin you down for my new home! It’s a true honor.”
You decide you like this charismatic woman even more.
“So you mentioned you are looking to build for next week?” You begin the usual conversation.
“Yes,” she laughs. “Always working on a deadline, it seems. I’m hoping this build won’t be too hard for you, though. My budget is a little more modest than some of the larger projects you’ve had recently, I think. What I would really like is a 1 or 2 bedroom home with a nice office. I tend to bring a lot of work home these days; have to keep up in these tough times!”
You hand Autumn a cup of water. She has barely taken a breath since she began talking!
She smiles, takes a quick sip, and continues. “And I want a place where I can entertain. A large kitchen and an open floorplan, at least for the main level of the home, would be a nice plus. I want a nice home to gather with friends and family, but also a home to impress my coworkers! I’d like clean lines and classic style, nothing too modern or too floral. My name reflects all my favorite colors: red, orange, yellow, gold, and brown.”
“Any other requests?” You ask, mostly to give yourself a pause to get everything down.
“Hmm…well, I saw the double-sided fireplace in your showroom. I’d really like that between my bedroom and the master bath…so luxurious! And a garage would be a bonus. Early hours mean lots of scraping in the mornings without one. I have a new car I want to protect…come see!”
She’s almost out the door before you’re out of your chair.
In the parking lot, she beams at you from the driver side door of a sporty red car.
“That’s about it, I think,” she says as she begins to open the car door to get inside. “Thank you SO much for your help! I can’t wait to see the home.”
Autumn pulls away in a flash; you go back to your desk to start drafting a plan.
Autumn's Budget: 30K
(You may also add a "sporty red car" free-of-charge after spending the 30K for the construction and decoration of this home.)

Build-n-Share Challenge # 14 - Ralphie's Girls
Thread for this week’s challenge: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/100066.page
This Week’s Challenge Specifics:
Ralphie's Girls
You are doing some last minute touch ups in cleaning your office. After rearranging your pencils a zillion times, you glance at your watch. He is late. The curiosity is driving you insane. Ever since he called and arranged a meeting with you without any specifics, you had been wondering why such a talented and famous builder would be needing your services.
You jump a bit when your assistant buzzes in, giggling uncontrollably before finally saying, "Mr. Ninja .. I mean.. Ralphie is here to see you."
You blink a few times, unsure what to make of your assistant's behavior, but you calmly tell her to let him in.
As the door opens, you quickly rise to greet the man. You can still hear your assistant giggling outside as Ralphael quickly at winks her before walking in and shutting the door behind him.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Ninja. So glad--" you began to say before he cuts you off. "Please, call me Ralphael." At least he didn't ask you to call him "Ralphie."
"Pleased to finally meet you, Ralphael. I am quite a fan of your work. I'll admit I was quite surprised to hear that you needed my services, being such a talented builder yourself," you say as you offer him a seat before sitting back down at your desk.
He makes himself comfortable before replying. "Well, you see. I have quite a few projects going right now. And as you probably already know, I tend to tackle the more ... unusual builds."
"Oh, yes. Definitely unusual and quite amazing to look at. Your latest Pirates of the Caribbean movie set was simply incredible!" You clear your throat a bit, trying to dial down your fanaticism a tad.
"Ah, yes. I am quite fond of ships as I'm sure you've noticed. But that brings me to why I am here. I will admit that building typical houses is not exactly my forte. I don't find enjoyment in doing so and I know there are many other people who can probably do a better job at it than I."
He takes off his sunglasses and polishes the lenses a bit with a handkerchief and continues, "I have heard many good things about your work and have decided you would be the perfect builder for this .. little project I have."
"I am extremely honored you think I am good enough to build you a house," you say, trying to remain cool. "What sort of house do you need?"
"I am in need of a duplex to live in with 2 of my ..." he coughs a bit before continuing. "... 2 of my ... fans." He does not wait for you to question him before he continues to explain. "You see, I am quite ... close with these 2 fans and they have been on my case about wanting to live with me for awhile now. The only issue is that I cannot be in 2 places at once and they don't seem to like each other too much..." He pauses just a bit, coughing again. "So I'll be needing a duplex on a lot no larger than 40x40."
Everything is starting to make sense. You nod, folding your fingers together and reply, "I see. That is quite the predicament you are in. A duplex, huh? I think I can manage that. Are there any specifics and needs you are looking for in each unit?"
"I am looking for functionality of course, so each unit should have at least 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. As for style, I prefer something clean and modern. Annabelle loves white and Ashlee loves pink. I also need this built for under 100k simoleans," he responds quickly, looking at his watch.
"If you'll excuse me, I have to take my leave. I have another appointment on site .. that is a bit watery. If you have have any questions, feel free to call me." He then slides a business card across your desk, shakes your hand, and takes his leave.
Some notes:
Please note that this challenge was created with the consent of RalphaelNinja. And with that said, also please note that this story is completely fictional and is based off of a mild reputation rather than reality, so don't give him too hard of a time!
The household can be downloaded here: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=1109376
Optional Challenges:
A Triplex: Mix in a 3rd "fan" and build the household a triplex using the 100k budget.

Thread for this week’s challenge: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/103366.page
This Week’s Challenge Specifics:
The Refugee family, though in the news a lot lately, are still an amazing sight to see. Zena and Zenith take a seat across from you. As Zena begins to speak, you notice Zach digging into the toy box placed in the corner of your office for just such clients. His "sister," Zazy, sits quietly reading a book on the couch across the room.
“I want to thank you so much again for meeting with us,” Zena says. “We have some very unique needs, as you know, so we hope this build will be an interesting challenge for you and perhaps a fun break from the norm.”
She takes a sip from her water bottle, something they’re all carrying, you notice, before she begins again.
“Well, the most important thing is obviously water. Lots and lots of water. We’d like pools and ponds throughout the home. And if each room could also have its own bath with a shower and tub, that would be helpful. Zenith and I will share, so we only need three rooms. We’d like to give Zazy and Zach each their own space. They are pretty different, you might have noticed.”
Zach is making laser sounds as he wiggles the toy rocket through the air. Zazy is still looking at the book; you wonder if she is truly reading or trying to hear the conversation at-hand.
“Zach…Phew, Zach. He’s a handful. His room should be a lot of fun. Zazy, well, it’s been hard on her. I’d really like something special for her,” Zena continues.
Zenith chimes in, “We would really like shades of blue as a predominant theme throughout the home. We’re looking for a sort of aqua wonderland. A build that is perhaps a bit more like fantasy would be a bonus. I think Zazy and Zach would really like that.”
“How about for the two of you? Any special requests?” you ask.
“Well,” Zena says, and despite the protective glasses, you think you might detect a twinkle in those eyes. “I really would like to start collecting fish here to keep as pets. I would love to have a room dedicated to serving as an aquarium.”
“Oh, I might have some ideas already…how about you, Zenith?”
But Zenith has noticed that Zach is starting to get a little restless. She just smiles before going to join him for playtime on the carpet.
“She won’t give you anything,” Zena says after a pause for water. “But as a teen, I’m sure she’d like an area to entertain new friends. A rec room with a focus on activities teens might enjoy. She’s pretty mature for her age, you know. She has to be, with what we all went through. And to just inherit two younger siblings of sorts, well, that can’t have been easy either.”
“I can’t imagine. And I know that it must be tough on you as well. I’ll work to make sure your wonderland is everything you hope it could be. I’m just honored you selected me for the project!”
“We never want to forget our past. We each have a symbol we wear most of the time to remind us of the land we lost. But we’re ready to move on, too. We’ve worked hard to get Zazy and Zach adjusted. Trying to help them blend in as much as is possible…Zenith and I, we’re pretty comfortable in our own skin. Literally.” She laughs, trying to make the mood light again.
“If you want a side project, though, I think Zenith and I might both be ready for a makeover. Something that would still be a bit unique, but maybe a little more like what girls our age here wear. I think the boys here have a hard time with Zenith’s confidence, and, well, I think Zach might wish we would try to blend in a bit more when we’re in public.”
Zenith comes back over with Zach in-tow. “I think we’re about ready,” she says. It’s clear that “we” means “Zach.”
“Well, I’ll give you a call if I have any questions. And I’ll see you again soon!”
The four head out, raising their umbrellas high against the blazing afternoon sun.
Budget:
Unlimited!!! Not a frequent thing for me. Enjoy it. The public has followed the Refugees' story carefully, and many generous community members have contributed to the funds to build their dream home.

Thread for this week’s challenge: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/105908.page
This Week’s Challenge Specifics:
An uncomfortable silence. You aren't quite sure how to respond to the grown man sitting in front of you. You try your best not to stare back at the man's hollowed gaze, but knowing you had to respond sooner or later, you put on your best sympathetic look.
"That is quite a ... story. I am very sorry for your loss, Mr. Stevenson." You quietly take in a sigh of relief at having that uncomfortable silence broken.
His gaze doesn't waver as he responds, "It's quite alright. I was too young to remember any of it. I had only recently learned of it myself."
You look down and pretend to be jotting down notes as you continue this conversation, attempting to speed it up. "So this place ... Winterhaven Manor ... has been sitting empty ever since?"
"Yes, it has. I recently visited once and did a little bit of tidying up, but the place needs a ton of work..." he responds.
"Wouldn't it be easier to just bulldoze and--" you begin to say.
"No," he interrupts. "I really would like to salvage as much of the furniture as you can.. There is still so much to learn about the past..." he trails off, finally shifting his empty gaze away from you to stare out the window.
You nod, jotting down some real notes this time, finally feeling more at ease now that he is no longer staring so intently at you. "But I can definitely change the interior layout, correct? Give it a more updated feel so you can live in it comfortably?"
"I won't be living there. I just want to make the place nice again for the current inhabitants..." he responds faintly, still staring outside the window.
"Current inhabitants? I thought you said the place was empty?" you asked, confused.
Jacob Stevenson snaps out of his haze and focuses his stare on you once again. "Yes, it's empty. But my ... parents are buried there, so please make sure to create a nice area for them, so they may rest in peace."
Before you can respond, he continues, "Do whatever you can to fix up the structure itself. I understand the interior layout may not be ideal, so change that if you must. I definitely would like to salvage all the furniture and objects you may find on the property. Ultimately, it should have at least 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, and a study. And like I said before, the final cost of the house shouldn't exceed 200,000 simoleans.
In your notes, you underline the 200,000 you had written a few times before setting your pen down. Folding you hands together, you look up and nod at Jacob Stevenson.
Some notes:
You can download the lot here: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=1206529
This must be placed on a 30x40 lot. Nothing bigger.
This lot was built by Team Okabee (Okadoka and Anjubee) for the SimInterior Designs Haunted House challenge. I've repurposed it a bit, removing a lot of the premium content that was used, but seemed not have gotten all of it. These objects are minor though, so it shouldn't prove to be too difficult to reuse. Please let me know if you have any issues downloading.
For those who have been participating in these challenges for awhile, this main challenge is like a combination of the Biscuit's BnB remodel and The Sloppy Bachelor challenge. This is really a Create-a-Style challenge as you are required to reuse all the objects in Buy mode. You can delete anything from the Build mode, including fencing, landscaping, roofing, flooring, wall coverings, and you can manipulate the terrain. You may not alter the foundation or any exterior wall unless you are taking part in the optional challenge (please see below for details).
For the back story on Winterhaven Manor, you can read it here. This story was written by Okadoka.
There is no family to download this week as I couldn't think of a proper way to make Jacob since his parents are ghosts, but if you would like to create him, please see the optional challenge in the next post.

Thread for this week’s challenge: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/108298.page
This Week’s Challenge Specifics:
You check your directions one more time. You’ve been walking for a bit, and the location seems a bit off-the-beaten-path. Of course, the address is a little unusual as well. “The tree with the ladder by it.” Hmm.
Just as you are about to turn around to retrace your steps around the pond, you hear the clinking sound of metal as a ladder slowly lowers to the ground. You look up to see who you only presume can be your client, dressed in camouflage.
“If you don’t mind,” he yells down, “could we meet up here?”
Well, this certainly is new. “Sure,” is all you manage to say.
Before you know it, you are climbing hand over hand into a tree. Once you’re up, “Colonel” Fearful, as he’s asked you to refer to him, pulls the ladder up behind you. You consider a “love what you’ve done with the place,” but you’re just a little unsure if Colonel would be in on the joke.
Colonel walks around on the platform and peers in each direction. Seemingly satisfied with something, he begins pacing as he talks.
“I’m sure you’ve heard the news. It won’t be long now. I’ve been saving for quite some time, $162,594 so far; I knew something like this would happen. And now it’s confirmed. THEY’RE coming. I knew it would be something big, something new, something different. But mummies? So strong! What if I fell? I do that all the time, you know.” He shudders at the thought.
“I know they prefer the dark underground, but what if they start to adapt? I just can’t take that risk. I want my house in the air. And above the water over there. He points to the pond. Do you think you could do that?”
“So a floating house over water?” Yep, definitely a new one.
“Yes. I’ll need stairs. Just a single flight, to get up. I couldn’t get that teleporter I’ve been trying to secure, unfortunately. But if you could tuck the stairs away, a little hidden by some trees or bushes or something, that would probably be OK. And then they could come up only one at a time, by which time I could hopefully figure out another way out. I wish we still had those helicopters…”
Wow, he’s really thought this thing out.
“I don’t want any of the construction on the ground level at all. And water beneath the home, so there’s only one way up, using that single flight of stairs. And a couple of doors to go through to get in, so I can add lots of locks and blocks. I’d like the home to blend in with the nature, so it’s not easily seen, too. As far as windows, nothing too big. I don’t want to feel like they could be watching…Those little high ones would be OK, I suppose, for some light.”
“What would you like for the interior?”
“Well, I’m hoping there will be a few others who may want to join me. I think more will see I am right as the time draws near. I’ve been leaving secret signs and messages around for those who might be watching for them. I hope they will come soon to help with preparations. I’d like 8 beds in a large bedroom and a common bathroom with 4 separate shower and restroom stalls for privacy. I don’t want anything too technological. I’m afraid those communications will be lost anyway, and I never trust anything I see on TV. We’ll need some entertainment, though, so some books and games would be great. And there might be a kid or two, so some toys and a crib might be helpful, too. Maybe a treadmill; we’ll need to stay fit in case of an attack. On the roof or a high balcony, I’d like to have an area for a telescope, for keeping watch. Maybe I could get a teleporter there eventually. I haven’t given up on that! And I’ll definitely need sturdy rails up there, I am clumsy, afterall. I want the lights to mostly consist of candles. It may be all we have at some point. Ohh, and we’ll need a few fridges in the home. We’ll need to stockpile what we can.”
He stops suddenly and runs to one edge. You can’t help but be deathly still. His nervousness is certainly catching.
“I’m saying too much. Someone might hear. I think that’s it. I appreciate your speed. There is so much to be done!”
You start to reach for Colonel’s hand, but he seems a little nervous about it. You just give him a big smile instead. “I’m so glad to help.”
“There will always be room for you, too, if you want.”
You give him another smile as you start back down the ladder.
Please build Colonel Fearful's home on Pinochle Pinnacle in Sunset Valley. You may get the lot, Fearful, and his 162,594 simoleons on my page.

Thread for this week’s challenge: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/115346.page
This Week’s Challenge Specifics:
Turning off the ignition to your car, you take a deep breath before getting out, accidentally slamming the door. Yes, you were a little stressed. Clients were typically easy to please and you were used to exceeding their expectations. However, the house looming before you now was a different story.
It was an honor to be invited to participate. As far as you know, only top designers were asked, so the pressure was starting to get to you. In your bag, you had your plans ready, but you still couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous.
The lot was relatively big with a big yard, so you knew landscaping will play a major role in this competition. Curb appeal and design choices will also be key as the rules state that you won’t be allowed to change the shell structurally. You can replace doors, windows, fences, columns, and stairs, but they have to remain where they are currently positioned.
Although your reputation as a builder was already stable and widely acknowledged, winning this would add a different level of satisfaction. Plus, it would look real nice in your portfolio/resume.
Your crew was due to arrive any minute, so you decided to go on inside for one more quick walk-thru.
Download Lot
Some notes:
This is a 40x40 lot and must be placed on a 40x40 lot, nothing bigger. You can designate the rooms however you like. You can change the roof pattern to match your exteriors, but not the roofing style and shape. There is NO budget, so get creative and show off!
Edit: Pasting some answers to some questions that have come up.
The theme is completely up to you. It doesn't have to have to be autumn themed, but if you would like to do that, then go ahead. I just added "Fall" in there because we may have future ones ... like a "Winter Designer Showdown" in January or something. Hehe. Hope that makes sense.
It's Week 20 because NYC was actually 2 weeks. Week 18 was the families. Week 19 was the lots.
Interior walls have to stay the same, and yes, you can add flooring to the 2nd floor! Forgot to do that.
The roofs have to stay the same shape. If you can somehow add a balcony without messing up the roofs, go on ahead.

This Week’s Challenge Specifics:
WANTED:
One talented building team
FOR:
The quick construction of a small, haunted destination town. This new construction should have an old-timey feel, perhaps with the flavor of a quaint country village or dusty old western town. To be built on a 60x60 lot, this town must include at least the following: a small cemetery, a haunted saloon/diner and hotel, and a small school or church. Town visitors and citizens expect at least a ghastly inhabitant or two.
Town must be inhabitable by Wednesday, November 4. An accompanying brochure or video is also desired by Sunday, November 8.

This Week’s Challenge Specifics:
Home Away From Home
This will be another 2-week challenge as Addict will be out of town next week. This week’s challenge concept was suggested by Ruthless_kk. As some of you know, a couple of us members of this Creative Corner building community have been away from home last week. As we approach the release of the first TS3 Expansion Pack, World Adventures, that will feature 3 destination towns for your sims to vacation at, this week’s challenge will be to create a vacation home.
Your client? One of us who has been or will be away from home. Your challenge is to choose one of the builders listed below and create a vacation home you think they will like based on their building “style.” The challenge this week is to emulate what you think is their preferred building style. A quick look at each builder’s studio should give you a fairly decent impression of what their preferred style is. You may even want to download a few to take a look at what their tastes are when it comes to interiors.
Builders to choose from:
Addict1220
Anjubee
Asante
Peacemaker_ic
Ruthless_kk
When you submit your entries, please do not reveal which builder you chose to emulate. Part of the fun in this challenge is to see if you are successful in capturing each builder’s style. We will leave it to the community and the judges to see if you’ve done a successful job at mimicking a style.
Since this is a 2-week challenge, there will be no budget and no lot size limitations. Also, as this is pretty much the last challenge before the release of World Adventures, where we’ll be getting a ton of new items, this challenge will require you to use only base game objects and items. The only exceptions to this rule are free items from the store (including Riverview items) and custom patterns. No other CC or store items are allowed.

Thread for this week’s challenge: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/136833.page
This Week’s Challenge Specifics:
This must be an extreme case of déjà vu. You would always remember that stench, which took a few days to completely air out from your office. It looked like you are going to have to do it again since the man sitting before you was all too real.
“What happened, Jimmy?” you inquired cautiously. It didn’t seem like it was that long ago when you built this man a nice bachelor pad and made him over. Now it seemed like all your effort was wasted.
“Well, the wife took the kids and left me for a fireman,” he responded, a little too casually. “She also took the house… everything… just about.”
She apparently took his will to shower as well, you thought to yourself.
“I am so sorry to hear that. That is quite the awful thing to go through.” You hope you mustered up enough sympathy while attempting to avoid breathing through your nose.
“Yes, I am heartbroken, but life moves on and I’m ready to start fresh! There is a whole world out there for me to explore!” he exclaimed and you couldn’t help but doubt his heart broken state just a tiny bit.
Before you could ask any other questions, he continued on. “I’ve quit my job and have decided to become a full-time adventurer! I have just enough money for a little place of my own, but I won’t be there for the most part.”
“Ah, I see,” you replied. “So not another bachelor pad to entertain the laaaadies?”
“Well, if there is time for that, maybe. But I mostly need the place to store all of my collectibles and a place where my kids can come visit. I don’t have quite as much money as last time, you see… I hope to make my fortune now by adventuring!”
While he continued on about details of his first trip to Shang Simla, China and showed you some of his non-existent simfu skills, you took the opportunity to jot down some notes.
Starter budget – 16k
Basement storage for collectibles
Make sure to budget in that shower
Make sure to include space for kids to sleep over
You then reached for your “To Do” list and added one item
Air out office
Some notes: Yes, this is the same Jimmy Applejacks, The Sloppy Bachelor, introduced in Week #10 of Build-n-Share! If you already have him in your game, great! If not, Jimmy can be downloaded here: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=842687 . Just disregard the house that was made for Week 10.
It's been awhile since we posted a starter challenge. Addict has made some great tutorials on building on a budget. Please see the following links as a refresher!

There might be a few tricks to discover on how to save money post WA! If you find any, please be sure to share it with the rest of us!
One last note. You do not need to have WA to do this challenge!
Optional Challenge:
Make Jimmy over again.. as an adventurer this time!
