You just read the challenge
go start building under it specifications
when you are done and have included the necessary info in your build description and upload it
then you come back here
fill out the entry form found on first page via reply
To build without a family, just choose "edit town" from the menu (the same place where you go and save and quit) and it'll take you to a mode where you can just choose the appropriate empty lot and start building.
Started my house today! I got the layout figured out, and it's a one-story, two bedroom, one bath. Decorating the inside has been fun, and I'm just starting on the two bedrooms. Then it's on to the outside...I need to work on my landscaping, haha.
It has two storys and a basement. Main floor is the living-dining room and kitchen. Upstairs is all about the girls, it has their beds, a bathroom, and a small nook personalized to each girls tastes. The basement has the master bedroom and another bathroom. Outside there a carport and a swingset surrounded by flowers.
I had to shrink the house about five times and changed roof about ten. In the end I think it turned out rather well for being my first starter. It was also a good learning experience.

This was my first starter build...and I was pretty nervous about staying under budget. I hope you guys like it.
**edit** I noticed that I said it was BnS week #8 in the upload description, obviously I meant week #9..but I don't feel like re-uploading it for that. **
Hi fieryfemale - WOW that is a small budget - you guys really are being tested this week.... I know it will only retain the same value if it's on the same sized lot. The spa lot is one of the smallest, so anyone wanting to play these builds as a true starter home will need to place it at the same address.
Yes, Fiery. The price is correct. It's the second cheapest lot in Sunset Valley, which is why I often use it for my starters. That gives you maximum money for decorating and landscaping, and of course, building!

Hello,
I'm having that periodic fun time when Sims 3 won't let me log in.
Favor...
Can someone please tell Sylph he is welcome to join us?
And...
If someone would post these, it would be most helpful. It's levels for those unsure. They are guesses, pretty much, because most are from Exchange pics and we know how awesome those are. lol. Anyway, when guessing, I went lower. We can always bump the next week.

I am just wondering what happens if someone places it on a different lot other than the one we build on, does it still maintain it's final price?
I love the living room and small kitchen. Very nice job!
Lilinetti
It's nice that there is such a spacious front deck. Also good job on the layout.

Great story!! You really showcased your build well. Love that you included a carport.
Yesac
Great work - I like that you included the basement and that you utilized Addict's trick with the carport.

Very fun build! Love the colors you used in the living room and kitchen area. Also great job with the basement and backyard landscaping.
