Thank you so much for answering our myriad questions. And you did get my last two I reposted in your last reply, so don't feel you need to answer again. LOL
@BuildnShare Last question, I promise! Can the roof of an additional building intersect with the roof of the existing house so long as no walls touch? Two separate structures in terms of walls but with a joined roof?

You know what . . . I stayed up until 7 AM this morning and worked on that house. After I got up, I took pictures of it. I think I'm done already, primarily because I keep wanting to change things, but it's the things I can't change.
Wow, @suzses, that is impressive! I'm having a challenge building the house I want with that furniture too. I'm conflicted on contrasting styles, and planning to call the house that!
I'm almost done as well, though I like to think while I did take the rule to the breaking point, I kept to the exact letter of the rule which says the existing furniture must remain somewhere on the lot.
@ciane I didn't go quite that sneaky - mostly I was worried that if the judges can't actually see the furniture they may count it as having been removed. So all the pieces are fully visible. Just... in a very specific spot.

LOL! I'm thinking "storage shed"? LOL!
I didn't spend all mine but quite enough for what seemed to reasonably go with the house.
I remembered something this morning about chairs. When I started on the inside, I moved things out of my way, and while it looked to me as though there were two chairs at the dining table, I ended up with three of them. I deleted the third, thinking I had either accidentally cloned one instead of moving it, or it had been someone else's accident that two were placed there over top of each other.
Question is: Do I need to go find a place for that third chair? There's room really, I was just putting them in out of the way places, because (of course) I don't really like that chair.
Man, you guys are quick! I’ve had visitors this weekend so only really got about an hour to play this afternoon. In that time I think I managed to move a couple of bits of furniture around and that’s it 😬 ...I might be here a while!

Luckily you have the entire month to play around with your build!
Since the shell and furniture were already there, it went real fast for me just recoloring things and rearranging. It will take me a long time to do the landscaping and get a finished product.

Oh, mine are still visible, but they have been "blended" so I like them better. MOO doesn't have to completely cover up!

Maybe you added a chair at one point and forgot? Or maybe there are two chairs MOOed together?! I know I've moved the table and chairs, but I don't know if I've moved the chairs away from the table and back.
@ciane Believe me, I did not add one of those chairs. Only thing I can think of is I may have inadvertently used the eyedropper tool when I was moving things. If there were a couple MOO'd together, everyone else would have three, and I don't think they do. I just wanted to know if everyone had two or three and how many needed to be in my build.
The chairs really aren't that bad. I just got very tired of them early in the game and never got over it, I guess.
Speaking of MOO, I did do a little of that to partially disguise another piece I'm not fond of.
It sounds like you're all having so much (albeit frustrating) fun. Lol I've not entered a contest for years (since sims 2), i've only been back playing the game a few months and have just lurked the last two design and build challenges. I think i'm going to have a go at this one. I've downloaded the house and oh my, it definitely needs your creative brain cells to tick away doesn't it.
I've got 99 problems and TS3 glitches are 98 of them
First, a clarification: by saying we can change the design of the roof, that means we can do a totally different roof then the current roof style? That was my take, but I do not want to be disqualified for my way of thinking. lol
And second, does the current only door to the home have to be considered as on the front of the home? Since we are allowed to add another door, can I also switch the side of the house I consider as the front?
@iampes23 I can't answer the questions but I know @BuildnShare isn't into disqualifying people. They may deduct points in judging but they don't just outright throw your entry out if something isn't quite right, especially if it was unintentional. So no worries there

LOL! I'm thinking "storage shed"? LOL!
LOL I like the name idea.
This occurred to me, but I resisted.

Haha. Storage shed. That would be great.

I only have two chairs at the table.

Something like that.

Thanks for being so patient with us all!
