So... same thing happened to me @misscbong :-) I got super excited about this build, got started and before I knew it, I was at 70,000 and the inside was still empty. Maybe a three story was a little ambitious for this budget :) But I think I will just finish it anyway and then start over, there's still quite some time left for this challenge and I am really enjoying my build, don't really want to stop just because I've gone over budget.
If anyone cares to check out my totally failed attempt at this challenge, for a whopping $206,000 you can download the first version of "Newcrest Library" on the gallery (ID: ChaosSimmer86). Hope you guys are doing better than me :) I'm going to start over tomorrow. Had fun doing the build though, my first library :)

Yes! Copy the link in your address bar, and when pasted in here - remove the https:// so you can post the rest. I'm sure we can figure it out from there
Money can't buy you happiness
but it can buy The Sims
which is pretty much

@ambzz2 and @BuildnShare
I could access the gallery upload at: Modern Library
But the slide show link needed my microsoft login and then said the item either didn't exist or I didn't have permission to see it.
Popping in to say "hi" and am impressed by the different takes on the last challenge. Love the big chessboard @glen1974! Good luck to all who participated!
I haven't been in a mood for building lately I open the game, stare at an empty lot for awhile and close the game again, lol. Maybe a new library will get me inspired again?
Some beautiful work on the last challenge guys!! I got overwhelmed by the size of the place and, honestly, consider myself more of a builder than a decorator, but I'm really impressed by what folks came up with!
@mannanna - I'm there all the time. I follow 6 different challenge threads and try to enter every challenge and end up staring at a screen for about half of them. Either that or I start builds and end up trashing them. I am confident that you'll get ramped up over a project soon!!!
@Faithofkaela - out there? I really like out there! I'm kinda intrigued now! Looking forward to it!
I'm kind of done, but think I should wait a couple of days and look back to see if I want to make changes. I do still have 2000 left to spend (WooHoo!)

@rainesrandi your library is beautiful, love the mix of white and black tone inside it. But i think you're not suppose do exceed the budget of 100,000 for the challenge.But then again, maybe i'm wrong(i'm not a judge ) and you're not far from it.
edit: how did you do the little white line in your parking lot?

@rainesrandi - I'm not sure why you've listed your lot at $101,557, when in the gallery it states that it is $99,917, which is of course under budget, you might want to tweak your entry form. Also, don't worry about adding the lot cost onto this one, as it has been provided by Newcrest Town Council

It's mostly decorated with white tone inside and there is a colorful area for children. The outside of the library is colorful with this illuminated pillar and this tinted windows.

Sticking with 'modern' theme, the build has smooth lines and bold coloring. I hope you enjoy the pictures. I know I've liked using this library in my own town. Thanks for this learning opportunity!

Thank you @mannanna I am glad you liked it. It was one of those ideas that just came to me in the middle of doing the build as I had no idea where I was going with this build. I too also have times when I have builder's block and find it really hard to get inspired. However doing the challenges on here from time to time really does help and pushes me to be more creative. Plus everyone here is so supportive of one another too Hope you are able to get building again soon!
