    @FoundMarbles thank you! If I'm not mistaken then it came with either GTW or Get Together, it's called something something park-o-meter? And I can really relate to the losing things situation, I wonder what will happen in a few years when there are even more packs...

    Yup, I realized after posting they were parking meters! There are Not stolen ATMs somewhere! I will eventually find them again, I hope. (The stolen ones are wrapped in their cables) Thank you for replying!!! Not everyone will answer about their details.

    @FoundMarbles , the Stolen ATM in is Misc Decorations. It is a reward for level 6 of the Criminal career, so you either have to be building on a lot with no Sims living on it or use the bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement cheat if you are building on a lot with a Sim living on it.

    The only thing about using the "Stolen" ones is that they look out of service with the cable wound around them; I know the bb codes, I just never want to use those ATMs! Thank You, though, you never know how many people might read the thread who did not know about unlocking reward items. (I put in all the cheats before I lay down the first floor, LOL I have not done a challenge yet where I didn't need to MOO things around.

    The only "not stolen" ATM that I can find is a CC item (I googled it.). I'm not sure there are ones that came with the game. Sorry I misunderstood your ask before! :smiley:

    @StSciurus , Ah Ha! that 'splains it! I must have come across the CC ATMs and thought I remembered them from the game's catalogues. I do try to avoid CC to insure my builds are accessible to anyone that cartes to use them and some CC can mess with the game as well. I did use a CC billiard table once but removed the mod right after the challenge was closed, Thank you for the troble you took on my behalf! That was very kind. :smiley:

    @BuildnShare is it okay if the house is a pair of shoes/boots instead of 1 shoe/boot?

    @boykylie - the interpretation of the brief is totally up to you :wink: But how you are going to fit two boots/shoes on a 20*15 lot, I have no idea!! Good luck

    That's for sure!! Budget is not the problem this time, but man, it is hard to fit FIVE bedrooms & Three full Baths into a shoe! I took out a cheaters permit! AKA: Artist's License. Mother Hubbard doesn't not ask much, AH! Room for 7 and a full compliment of recreations, Good Luck Everyone!

    I have a WIP at the moment. It is coming together and I am enjoying it. I'm not a great builder and am trying to be as creative as I can be. Hoping it turns out and I can submit it.

    I am testing my house prototype and NONE of my Sims will use the front door! I tried changing it in build (MOO OFF) and I tried turning the step around but they still insist on going in the back door that is at the very back. The Front door is a side entrance. Anybody have an idea what might be wrong. (The front door goes directly into the kitchen)

    EDIT: Problem finally solved! (Don't ask me how!) I kept rebuilding the front end and something went right. Sims will now go into the front door.

    Have you clicked on the door and set it as the front door when playtesting? Sorry for suggesting it if you have.

    Yup! Did That.

    It gets worse! I took out a window beside the door. I move a waste basket from beside the front door. They still insisted on the back door SO I took away the back door and they walked right through the back wall so I took away the step AND STILL they do not want the front door. I am not getting this, at all. I deleted the game and started over on the lot next door and no behavioral change on the part of my Sims. They will just have to be Back Door Sims. My thinking is it has to do with some "Roofing" on the same level but not a part of the kitchen room. To meet challenge requirements I can not change the roof lines. Otherwise all facilities, rooms and items play well. They just act as though there is no front door. I'm just going to leave it that way. The lot is not big enough for me to see how to solve the problem though I am going to build a second edition, just to see what I can do about it.

    On Edit
    So I tried a 4 story shoe, that really did not work out!
