    Okay, no raising the budget then! I was just going to raise it maybe an extra $5,000 if a majority of you were having some problems. The budget will remain the same then so no raising. :D

    Yes, but if it was being too difficult I was willing to adjust the budget. :D

    :twisted: So happy you didn't change the budget!
    I just spent a night figuring out a solution I can live with, as substitute for a hot tub area.
    $5,000 more! That would have helped, but where would the fun go of staying up an entire night trying to tweak the build until it fits the requirements!

    I'm almost done - it was a hard piece of work!




    I also found time to look at the amazing entries for the 'craftsmen' challenge and dropped my rec's. Good work everyone!

    happy simming

    Hi! I'm so excited to do my first Build-n-Share Challenge!
    Quick question, and I'm sorry if it has already been asked but I wanted to confirm the budget of $105,000 is for the lot and the house excluding the furniture? Or is the budget for the lot in its entirety?
    If the first statement is correct I'm doing well with the budget so far!

    This is my third build. and no question is to silly or not worth the answer. The budget is the cost of the lot build and fully furnished. I hope this answers your question. Happy Siming and good luck! :lol:

    You do not have to have the lot uploaded, the judges just use the lot as a backup in case their is a problem with the media. :-)
    And you can always use Mediafire or a sharing site if you wish too.

    Level: Advanced

    Lot size, Address and Final cost: 30x40; 58 Water Lily Lane, Sunset Valley; 104,900.

    Lot Description and Details: This contemporary home pushes the traditional boundaries in every sense of the word. While the house plan and design fits in well with the rest of Sunset Valley, the home has a definitively modern flair on the outside. However the interior is much more modern and lends itself to the owners modern sensibilities. This is a 5 bedroom home including a master suite and 2.5 baths. There is plenty of room to decorate further which the family will be able to do once they settle in more comfortably into their new life in Sunset Valley.

    Constructive Criticism: Yes

    try getting a notebook JUST for the sims challenges. write down any info you need to know for the game on one 1/2 of the page, then what you need to put on the form on the other 1/2. it really helps me when i do this, instead of minimizing the game (if you dont know, for full screen mode press the start-menu key on your keybored to minimize the game) then reopening it 50 times.

    There is no wrong way BUT try decorating your house with paintings and plants etc. That is usually what burns up most of my budget lol. Also Landscaping outside too.
