    Gorgeous builds everyone! I don't think I'll be able to get it done in time :( but I am loving being able to see all your amazing builds!!!

    @Issabella14 - Little Saints is impeccable. I love the side chapel and your use of MOO. The entire aesthetic of the orphanage captures that mission/Catholic style! I liked your cafeteria with the use of the gates and barred-style windows...kind of a subtle hint at how an orphanage may seem like a jail to a kid! The interior pool is grand as well! So many good uses of MOO too!

    @gmcrozier - Wayward Winds is another great mission/Mediterranean style school! Love that tile work! Those designs really capture the eye. The landscaping is great too...nice use of the terrain brush! Really like the auditorium/stage! The science room is killer too. And cool idea to use the stairs as bleachers in the pool!

    @Emma-LeeXOXO - Harbor Haven is a great build also! I like the exterior spaces you added in on every floor and the topiary garden is a cute addition to the landscaping. Pool and facilities are excellent. Really like that you added a skills based classroom too with the art/woodworking room. Wish I would have thought of that along with an infirmary!

    COMING HOME TO NEWCREST

    A Community Challenge, choose one lot and help us build Newcrest together

    It had been a bit of a long trip, but you have to admit it was worth it. On one side of you a wide river winds its lazy way along. On the other side of you are spacious empty lots fronted by a tree dotted avenue. The area is blissfully quiet. You stop next to a cherry tree and close your eyes, basking in the moment.

    “Beautiful, isn’t it?” The unexpected sound of Douglas Curtis the III’s voice very nearly makes you climb the tree next to you. After he gets his laughter under control, DC3 claps you on the shoulder. “I didn’t mean to startle you, my friend.”

    You smile at him, trying to reclaim some dignity. “Its fine. I was starting to doze off I guess.”

    “It’s a long way to drive I know, but I hope you’ll find it worth the trouble. Have you had a chance to drive around?” He asks, starting to walk along the river’s edge.

    You follow, nodding, “I have. It's a lovely area. There’s a lot of space and plenty of open lots. Which one is yours?”

    He grins smugly, “All of them.”

    “…All of them?” You stare at him, unsure of what you just heard.

    “Yep. 15 lots, situated in 3 neighborhoods.” He gives you the wide, charming smile that he usually gives before handing you a challenge. He runs his fingers through his sun-streaked hair before delivering the gauntlet. “I want you to build all 3 neighborhoods.”

    Your jaw drops. “You- what?”

    “I want you to build up the 3 neighborhoods. A tribute to my generosity to the people of Newcrest,” He says, making a grandiose gesture towards the town center.

    The sight of his ego poking its head out makes you relax. This is the DC3 you know and sometimes love. “What did you have in mind, Doug?” You asks, pulling out your tablet to make notes.

    “Well, Neighborhood 1 has 2 20×15 lots, 2 30×20, and 1 40×30 lot. I intend for this be for low-income houses. Starter homes if you wish. Prices ranging from 13750 to 20k, with 0-2 bedrooms. 1 of the 20x15s I would like to be a community garden/ park. The 30x20s I thought would fit multiple row houses, and then maybe the 40×30 could work for an apartment building or condos. Naturally all housing should have some kind of outdoor space, like a patio or something and landscaping.”

    “All of that is feasible,” you state, taking notes feverishly.

    He waits till you finish before moving on, “Neighborhood 2 has 3 30×20 lots, 1 40×20 and 1 40×30 lot. I’d like these to be medium income. Single houses on individual lots for more established families looking to move up in the world. 2 to 4 bedrooms with prices ranging from 30-50k.”

    “Okay.” you say at last, “And the last neighborhood?”

    “Think high income, large generational houses. There are 2 40×30 lots, 1 30×20, 1 30×30, and 1 50×40 lot. I’m thinking at least 4 bedrooms, garages, lots of high-end touches. Prices will range between 150-250k. I’d like the 30×20 lot in this neighborhood to be a high-class gathering spot.” He smirks, “So what do you think?”

    “I think I’m going to need help.”

    “I have utter faith in you,” he says before delivering a wink, “Just don’t work my lovely Rose too hard.”

    Build requirements:
    All housing must have the basic requirements for Sims to move in and live
    All housing must have landscaping
    Please chose one lot and let us know which lot you have chosen. (Lots in italics, we will accept one more of these lots. Lots in red, fully claimed please do not ask to build another.)

    We are going to allow two of each lot to be built for this challenge so that our lovely simmers have some choice. Lots will, however, be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Please let us know which lot you would like to build for the community, we will then allocate that lot to you. This challenge will not be judged as such, there will be no winner. We will, of course, provide constructive criticism if you wish. There is no room challenge this time around, but please feel free to provide sims for your homes.

    Please use hashtags #BnS21 and #BuildNewcrest for your uploads.

    A reminder, if you wish to provide media for your build to allow us to give you feedback, please ensure that it is in the form of a slideshow. No videos please, as these make the process a lot more cumbersome.

    Deadline: Wednesday 24th June, Midnight CMT.
