***Famous Builds Challenge*** (Recurring Monthly!)

I have a new Idea for a monthly challenge.
The concept goes like this:
Every month will have a different theme, ie; holidays, movie genres, etc.
The challenger will find a building that fits the theme for the month and recreate it in Sims form! There are no lot size or budget restrictions for these challenges, only the monthly time slot restriction. If you enter please add the hashtag #FamousBuildsChallenge01
There will be a First, Second, and Third place. Winners will be judged on the outside appearance and landscaping of the build only. The inside of the building can either be decorated or not, but must have the bare minimum "skeleton" for the build. ie; toilet, sinks, etc. The builds that closest resemble the buildings that they are recreating will win.
**Bonus**
If you do decide to decorate the inside or your build, and you manage to playtest your build, I will award a Maxis favorite nomination by me for these entries. (Decorating the inside does not influence the choice of the First, Second and Third place awards, it only gets you a maxis favorite nomination from me.)

*NOTE*
I don't really know what to award the winners for this challenge, other than the mention at the end. Any suggestions would be welcomed and considered, Thanks!

Alright, I know it's a little early but I wanted to post it right away, The first challenge is going to be for October, and the theme is going to be....
Famous Haunted Houses!
So, what you would do is look up on google for a haunted house with a famous story, find some good pictures, and if your lucky, maybe even a floor plan! You can even google the houses' address and find it on google maps! Use these references to recreate your building, trying to make it as close as you can, within The Sims limitations of course. If you can't find any inside pictures of your house just use your imagination! I have had fun doing these kinds of challenges by myself and I hope some people will join in! Have fun all and Happy Simming!

The dead line is the last day of the month, so in this case, Halloween. Time zones don't matter just as long as it's in by that day wherever you live.
