Very interesting challenge!
But one question: You stated that the build must be stated on one inspiration object, but what does this mean?
Hi, @RyeCris16. That means that you pick one object and base a design around it. I can best explain that with an example from a previous challenge. In the Winter Designer Challenge, we provided four possible inspiration objects:
You can see that she pulled both the modern design style and part of the color scheme from this object. Let the object inspire you in any way you choose - it could be the color scheme, the design style, or something else entirely. Have fun with it and be creative
@BuildnShare This sounds fun! So you say, It can be ANY object from ANY category of the catalogue. Does this include the build items? Like a tree? Or do you mean just the Buy catalogue?
This link does not work.

@BUTTONSGINGER For this challenge, it can be Build or Buy. Or even Debug, for that matter
Hmm... this sounds interesting - I'm not promising I'll have a go, but I'm hoping too! I haven't really got stuck into TS4 like the TS3 so I'm trying to find something that gets me into it. ^-^
Is it possible to have the link/page number for the winter challenge so I can see how they interpreted objects please?
•You can designate the rooms however you like, but your outcome should be a 3 bedroom house with 2 bathrooms.
•You cannot change the size or location of foundations, exterior walls, and roofing.
•Yes, all exterior walls, foundations, and roofing sizes must remain the same.
•You can, however, add INTERIOR walls; as long as the home remains a 3bdr/2ba home.
@BuildnShare Just wondering about interior walls. Can we remove any of the pre built interior walls or place a fence, spandrels or half walls instead? Also can we delete any of the floor tiles on the first floor?
I can not seem to find this shell build in the gallery. Is anyone else having trouble with that? I tried downloading from the online gallery and it isn't showing up in my library. SO I tried hitting f4 in game and accessing origin that way and I can not find the build or kittkat7147. What am I doing wrong?
Edit: Just found it! I had to type in BNS in the item name category and it finally pulled up.

Hi @mommataurus2 use the hashtag #BnS25 and you should be able to find it.

The existing interior walls cannot be removed, but you can change them to 1/2 walls or fences, add doors, add arches, etc. I have added this clarification to the Challenge Brief.

ENTRY DETAILS: I chose the 4 plumbob picture, it is my favourite from the Sims4. I thought it would be fun to include the colors in my build, it brought a uplifting build and I am pleased with it. From the outside it looks traditional and on the inside it just isn't what you expect, modern colourful and contemporary.
CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: Yes please.
CREDIT FOR CC/RECOLORS: No CC used.
Columns: Can we change them for others/remove them?
Roofs: Can I add some flat roofs under the current roofs to close all these gaps?:
Roofs: Ugh - that is unsightly! Definitely on adding the flat roof portions if you have already started. If you haven't, the lot has been updated in the gallery with a fixed version. Good catch!
Columns: Columns can be moved, changed, added, deleted, etc.
