Build-n-Share Challenge # 5 - UNCLE SAM
Thread for this week’s challenge: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/990/21728.page
This Week’s Challenge Specifics:
Buried in paperwork one Wednesday morning, you can’t help but think, “I need a holiday.”
GNOMELANDIA was a lot of fun and a huge success, but what an organizational challenge. So many builders, so many requirements, and in just one week?! But you smile to yourself as you think, “This is what friends are for. And we made it great!”
A man clears his throat.
Whoops! Must have gotten lost in your thoughts.
When you look up, it’s all you can do not to laugh.
Standing in front of you is an image straight off a wartime poster. Your own, flesh-and-blood, Uncle Sam!
“I want you…” he begins. Then he laughs. “I’ve come today because I hear you do great work, and I would love to have you build a park for our Fourth of July celebration this year.”
“A park? That’s a new experience for me. Are you sure you’ve got the right builder?”
“Oh yes, I’ve seen your work. I have every confidence that you can do it and do it with style.”
You feel compelled. This man…so persuasive. After all, he is a politician. And, of course, the symbol of patriotism around the country.
“I would really like a place the whole family can gather for the big day, with activities for the youngest sims, to the sims a little closer to my age,” he points to his gray hair. “And all ages in-between. They will be there all day of course, so we need to make sure to provide all the necessities as well.”
“A park.” You begin to like the idea. “I think that could be fun. Any other particulars I should know about?”
“We have a big party planned with lots of food. So we’ll need a covered area with some buffet tables and seating for at least 20. It can be a gazebo, pavilion, picnic shelter, or an enclosed building. No matter what you choose, it should have great views of the park. Of course we also need a place where families can enjoy the fireworks.”
“Do you have a particular budget?”
“Budget?! This is the U.S. government. We’ll find the money. Maybe tax those juice bars everyone seems so fond of.” He laughs again, “But seriously, we’re at the end of our fiscal year, and any money we don’t spend is lost. So spare no expense! Make it the best park you can, and don’t worry about the cost.”
“Now that’s a breath of fresh air. Unlimited budget. Not a challenge I get every day.” You smile to yourself, “I’ll do it.”
Uncle Sam salutes you. “Your country thanks you.”
He walks out, whistling a Sousa tune as he goes.
Please use no larger than a 40x40 lot for this challenge.
I think that's achievable. If I'm wrong, let me know. I'm just concerned about our judges having to continually bulldoze to place 20 60x60 lots...
Uncle Sam

Uncle Sam's info for those who don't want to download:
Uncle Sam is ambitious, brave, charismatic, friendly, and good. His favorite color is blue, his favorite music is Classical (and maybe a little Sousa), and he loves a good hamburger (almost as much as apple pie). He aspires to reach the top of the Political Career.
