I was just wondering if you’ve lost a judge for the Established level. I’ve done the last challenge but was sitting on it, waiting for my earlier submissions to be judged as there’s such a backlog, I didn’t want to add to it.
So now I’m wondering if I should even bother with this months. I understand judges have outside RL things to do but if it’s too much to judge by the end of this month I’ll skip it.
@pammiechick I believe a couple of the judges may be on vacation at the moment, but they have not forgotten anyone . You should definitely join this month's challenge if you are up for it! I use them as a monthly motivator to build something new, and its more fun for everyone when more people join.

Great job on this @icanhassims !
I started my home for the same family today and apparently my standards are too high, because I already ran out of money Back to the drawing board...
So I started working on my lot. Spent a good half-hour figuring out the shape of the house and then remembered that, oh yeah, this challenge already has a shell for a starting point.
So I started working on my lot. Spent a good half-hour figuring out the shape of the house and then remembered that, oh yeah, this challenge already has a shell for a starting point.
To keep both Ricardo and Zahra Vargas happy, I chose to use simple mission-style furniture but jazzed things up with colourful, boho-style décor and accent pieces.
I also added some bookshelves and a desk where the Vargases can do some reading and writing at.
Finally, I created a cosy area for the little Vargases to play in.
Because this challenge is about building your sims' dream homes, your budget has been increased to make that easier.
The new amounts are:
Smith: $65,000
Vargas: $170,000

I decided on a mission-style house for the Vargases as I thought that it would fit both Ricardo’s preference for mission-style furniture and Zahra’s boho tastes.
This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom house provides plenty of room for the Vargases’ growing family.
Containing a pool and a play area, the enclosed yard at the rear of the house allows the family to fully enjoy the great outdoors.

Jenny Leone (Kids' mother, sister to Jamie)- perfectionist, cheerful, family oriented.
