@ aricarai, could I use the extracted terrain paints from store worlds? Can we also use store world/venue exclusive items like paintings, windows etc.
I'm nearly finished with my entry, and the rules are really challenging, usually I build without a budget, with lots of store items, but this really pushed me to use what the EP items can offer. I now have this new mantra in making houses "Work with what your mama gave you".
BTW, I'm still narrowing down that store item, either the multi tab or the Potted Orchids Divine from Asian Fusion...
This contest sounds really interesting but... :oops: :oops: What is the difference between a Studio House and a Loft House ?
In my eyes, a studio house will only be one level with no bedrooms. The only door that should be in there is one to a bathroom, everything else should be in the same room. A loft house will have a second floor with the bedroom up there, typically open to below, but again, counts as no bedrooms.
I hope this helps!
One more tiny question. So we just don't add bedrooms? In neither type of house? And i was ingame to make this, but i am stupid and didn't understand the following:
So is the house just one room with kitchen, dining, living and bedroom and an extra room for bathroom or are the houses just houses in which you have skill items? As like a second house?
You're not stupid, m'dear! So basically, if you're doing a studio house - your kitchen, dining room, living room, bedroom, and anything else you would want your Sims to do, will all be in one room. The only other room in the house will be a bathroom. Does that make a little more sense?

Excellent! I was just hanging around in the house until i heard this. Now to shoot off into building!
I'd love the enter this! Do we have to add a store item or is it optional?
Ooh, that's a good question - I'm going to say that as it's part of the entry form and the bit of backstory that your Sim really only wants ONE item from the store, that it is mandatory. So it could be windows, a bed, a cabinet, a light - anything really! But only one, but this one item could be used multiple times if you wish.

I've just popped out of game to come and answer questions and let me tell you, I'm finding building this really, really challenging as well. I'm just like you as I find it hard to stick to budgets and not use store content. You may only use ONE store item from the whole Store, this includes world exclusive items, venue items - so choose carefully!
I am already done! It's not much room to fill, so that was easy.
Name/Link to Your Page:CSIMSIE Lot name: Small Hall Link to Your Lot:Here Final Price: 30.128 Description : This house has everything you need in a house, but but BUT only in one room. There is one separate bathroom but that is because of privacy . 1BDR 1BTH, no CC, no CAP. Store Item Picked & Why: Wood Fire Oven from Monte Vista because it gives awesome recipes and dishes. Pictures: Additional Information: Nothing, to be honest. I first thought a studio house was a house which sims could use as a studio, so that explains the outside.
When you say lot size do you mean house size or land size because I can't find any 10x10 land sizes
Quick tip:
In Edit Town mode (via the (...) menu) you can click the icon that looks like a noteblock with a pen, and place lots manually. Just pick the smallest one (which is 10x10) and place it somewhere in the world.

Please add me to the interested list! I was currently in the middle of a new build for myself, but that can always be put on hold ^_^ especially for as neat of a contest as this one I've never really built a house on such a small plot before - so this will certainly be a challenge for me. But anything that helps me to gain experience as a builder and have a little fun in the process
Thanks for hosting, aricarai

WOWZA :shock: thank you so much, Sis! That's very, very generous of you!
I hope wherever you are planning to go, it will be warm and tropical 8)
Fabulous, leep! Can't wait to see what you come up with

That's great, hon! I'll put you down as interested! Hopefully your move goes smoothly!
Yay! Glad to help :-)
That is an awesome prize pool. I suspect this comp will get loads of entries, people seem to really enjoy building small houses. I know I do!

You're welcome. I can't wait to see what you get. In fact, I may post one of my own just as a bump.
As for warm, it better be. I'm supposed to be going to Palm Springs, Cali for a friend's wedding.
CSimsie, this is really cute.
