Please do not post any comments on this threadWelcome to Build-n-Share Challenge Archives.Hopefully you have heard about the weekly Build-n-Share challenge for builders. If not, we hope you will visit our Official Thread at the Creative Corner board, where you can find the current challenge. The reason for this thread is because we have had many requests for an archive of the Build-n-Share challenges. Now you can take a look at the past challenges and if you are bored, you can always use them as an inspiration, and/or to find some buildings you would like to download to your game. Every month, we offer a specific building request for builders of all levels to tackle in their own unique way. We offer different levels of experience, and those who enter receive (at the very least, because it's usually many more) one rec and a download for your work. At the end of the challenge, winners are posted within a week and every entrant receives feedback on his or her work at the winner's circle thread. In the posts below, you will find all the information and links related to each challenge. We hope you enjoy it, and if you would like to make any comments, please do so, but in our Official Thread at the Creative Corner board as we need this thread chat- free for the whole purpose of an Archive.Thank you so much and we hope to see you in our challenges. Sincerely, The Build-n-Share Team

Build-n-Share Weekly Challenge #55 - I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore... Thread for this week’s challenge: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/265588.page This Week’s Challenge Specifics: So while we’re in the mood for movies, I thought I would issue a challenge I have wanted to try myself for quite some time. It is based on a classic movie I have seen a countless number of times. And now I hope all of you will try your hand at recreating this classic home and scene from The Wizard of Oz. For those who are unfamiliar with the movie, or even those who do know it, I have included two You Tube links for inspiration. The challenge comes in two forms for this week’s contest: 1. To recreate (as nearly as possible from the shots you see in the videos) the home and Munchkinland, where the home lands. 2. And the biggie...To design the home in “black and white,” just like it is in the movie, and Munchkinland in all its Technicolor splendor. As a tip, keep in mind that black and white movies contain muted grays more than harsh black and white hues. Consider material as well. Metals will probably be too reflective a texture, while fabrics might give the softer look you need. And those are the directions. Make Munchkinland as vast as you like, or more compact if time is short. But be sure to capture the essence of the colorless home in the midst of a vibrantly colored outside world. Please note that photo effects to create the appropriate colors is not allowed. Your build must truly be black and white in-game. A video of the farmhome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhPu5AHDMHM A video of Munchkinland: http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotat...35323&feature=iv&v=EPWenQxryr4 OPTIONAL CHALLENGE: For those looking for a huge challenge, create two lots: One lot should be fully black and white and include the entire farmhome in Kansas (eg. with chicken coops, cellar, etc). My suggestion is to build just the home first and save it to the library. Then continue building on the original lot to add the rest of the grounds. The second lot is the home in Munchkinland. If you saved to the library, you already have the home itself built, now you can just redecorate the outside to reflect her arrival "somewhere over the rainbow." AS A SIDENOTE: I have been considering writing a playing challenge based on The Wizard of Oz for awhile now. Down the road, if I decide to do this (I'll need to do some playtesting first), I would like to be able to use one or two of these lots. If you are OK with that, please note it on your official entry form. I will most likely select one build with cc and one lot without cc. Credit will be generously given, and your lot would be linked on the challenge thread and any related media. I will also be looking for sims for this challenge. If you decide to create some anyway for this challenge, here are the ones I'd like (they can be one household): Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tinman, Glinda (the Good Witch), the Wicked Witch, The Wizard, and Auntie Em.

Build-n-Share Challenge #145-146 • The Simovitch Struggle Build Deadline: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 at midnight CentralThread for this week's challenge: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/1185/373316.page Build-n-Share Challenge #145-146 • The Simovitch Struggle The office is slammed, and Rose slaps a folder on your desk. "Uhm...," you start to say, but Rose cuts you off. "No time," she says. Look this over, and I'll get the details to you tomorrow." With no other choice as she breezes out the door on the way to other important business, you open the folder and and get to work... The next day, Rose knocks on your door and shows in Fatima and Vadim Simovitch and their daughter, Betty. "Good morning!," you greet the family. "I've been looking over your requests, and I've come up with some great design ideas for your home. It sounds like your looking to update and modernize things which I can definitely take care of. Can you tell me a little more about what you want? Are we doing a tear-down and new build or renovating the existing house?" "Well, you're the expert," replies Vadim. We don't really have a preference. You can knock it all down, add windows, add walls, whatever you think is best." "Excellent! I notice that each of your favorite colors are green, pink, and white. I'll try to work those in as accent colors. Do you have any other requests?" "Well, I do like animal prints," remarks Fatima. You notice Betty roll her eyes and suppress the smile that comes to your lips. "I can certainly try to work that into the design somehow. Perhaps in the master suite? In a tasteful way, of course," you add to appease Betty. "And I really want a gourmet kitchen," sighs Vadim. "I love to cook for the family. It's a hobby of mine, and our current kitchen leaves a bit to be desired." "I'm so tired of how boxed off our dining and kitchen areas are," adds Fatima. If I'm in the kitchen, I can't see or talk to someone in the living room. I love how open and breezy new homes are. Can you make our house more like that?" "Of course," you affirm, adding "custom kitchen" and "open concept" to your list. "And what would you like for your room, Betty?" you ask. Vadim interrupts, "Well, Betty is going to be a scientist when she grows up, just like her dad. She'll need a desk for studying and a work area for her science experiments." "No," contradicts Fatima. "Betty is a gifted musician. She's going to be a pop star. I was in a band when I was young, you know. Betty takes after me musically." You look at Betty who seems a bit embarrassed by her parents. You make a mental note to talk to her privately when you get a chance to find out what she really wants. "Alright, thanks so much for coming in. We'll have your brand new dream home ready for you in two weeks," you say as you escort the Simovitch family to the door. "I look forward to working with you." And so starts another challenging project... http://i686.photobucket.com/albums/vv225/Kitkat7145/Simovitch.jpg Requirements: The Simovitch family of Riverview resides at 1019 Dogwood Lane in the "Champion Lhaso Apso" 2BDR/2BA home. They are in desperate need of a complete demo or a strategic reno of their current home - the choice is yours... • Budget: 95,000 • Lot: 1019 Dogwood Lane, Riverview • 2 BDR/2BA • They would like the landscaping to be updated as well. • A pool would be nice if it fits in the budget. • Betty's room should reflect her personality. Is she a budding scientist or a future pop star? Or something completely different from what her parents want for her? If you don't have Riverview, here is a link to the Simovitch house: http://www.mediafire.com/?mlnex5vh2k12917. Place it on any lot costing $2400 or higher. Optional Challenge: Create a teen-dream themed room for Betty based on her one of her parent's expectations or how you envision Betty. The best teen room photo will be featured on Builders Boulevard.

Build-n-Share Challenge #168 - The NovelistChallenge Deadline: Friday 31st of July, Midnight CMT.“Jade! How lovely to see you!” You exclaim. Going to the grocery store is always fun for you. You run into everyone at sometime or other it seems. In this case, its literally. “Sorry for bumping your cart.”“Its okay,” ‘Jade’ smiles at you with lips painted wine red. “However you have the wrong sister.” You step back, studying her. Emerald green eyes glitter in amusement at you, a deeper warmer look than Jade’s pale green business like stare. Instead of being pulled stylishly but efficiently back from her face, the sister’s raven hair curls romantically around her face and over her shoulders. Her dress, made of a rich burgundy velvet, is casually and elegantly gothic in style. Otherwise, she’s identical to Jade Bloodclaw.“I’m sorry,” you say sheepishly.“Not at all. Being identical twins, it happens all the time.” She moves her cart to the side ot let someone else get by. “My name is Fire Bloodclaw.”You shake hands with her, introducing yourself. Then a light bulb blinks on. “Fire Bloodclaw? The novelist? The one who wrote Empire of Jade?”She laughs a sensual laugh, “The same. You’ve read it?”“I haven’t. My assistant however raved about it. What brings you to town?”“Change of atmosphere.” She smiles, “I was actually hoping to see you. My sister is delighted with the work you’ve done for her and trust me, Jade is incredibly hard to please when it comes to work.”“Great to hear.” You look around. “Do you know Purr’s café?”“Who doesn’t?” Fire laughs.“Why don’t we meet there and talk about what you’re looking for?”“Sounds great. An hour?”An hour later, the two of you are settled into one of the booths at Purrsia’s place. Unsurprisingly, there is a tray of blissfully delicious tapas sitting between the two of you. Fire smiles, “I knew Purrsia when I was in college. She and her sister lived in the same house we did. She did all the cooking to help pay for her rent. It was lovely.”You grin, “I bet you ate better than the Ramen diet I lived on.”Fire laughs, “If you didn’t mind being an experiment for new recipes, yes…But the experiments didn’t always work out. Those were the nights when Tums was greatly in demand.” She smiles, “Now, on to why I was hoping to talk to you.”“Someplace to store your tums?” You quip, making her chuckle again.“Not quite. I’m looking for a home of my own. I’ve been living with Jade, but her apartment really isn’t my style. She’s the penthouse apartment kind. I’m more the secluded dramatic type.”“So what kind of house are you looking for?” You pull out your ever present note book.“Something with a dramatic view. Private. When I loose myself in my work, I hate being distracted by petty things like time of day or last time I ate something. It needs to be soothing…and, I shamelessly admit, fairly luxurious in terms of comfort. I never know where I’ll end up writing. I need at least 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. And if you can squeeze it in, a new laptop. State of the art please. My old one fried itself this morning and I’m using Jade’s computer…something else that is not conducive to concentration. I have 75k to put towards this. Decent entertainment center and a library. I love stories in all forms.”“None of that is out of reach. Can you give me a little while?”“Sure. I have a book tour coming up soon anyway.”“Excellent.” You reach for the check, only to have her lightly bat your hand away.“My treat,” she insists.The Brief:*75k budget*2 bedrooms, 2 bath*Secluded lot with dramatic view*Library*State of the art laptop*Decent entertainment center*Luxurious surroundingsOptional Challenge:Make Fire, who is a Hopeless Romantic, Friendly, and Flirty.

She even dresses in Gothic-style clothing. But she also loves a bit of modern in her home, because comfort far outweighs style! She is a Gemini, which is strange since she is also a twin. Unlike her sister, she has a very soft, romantic side. She loves to flirt, in sharp contrast to her otherwise severely proper manners. She is very friendly to everyone she meets. Sometimes she is too friendly and/or flirty, and she has to break someone's heart. Okay, more often than not, she has to break someone's heart. She is a huge fan of all things supernatural; she brings her love of the supernatural to her books. Her latest book features vampires, werewolves, and a mysterious witch! She often writes to Dark Wave music or while eating her favorite potato and truffle tort. Her favorite color is spiceberry.LEVEL: intermediateLOT SIZE, ADDRESS & FINAL COST: 30x30, Aurora Skies across from Basalt Beach lot on Geothermal Lane, $74,995LOT DESCRIPTION & DETAILS: Fire stressed the need to be isolated as well as having a dramatic view (which helps her set scenes for her novels) from her new home. The lot in Aurora Skies has 3 dramatic views! The colors and architecture are Gothic, but not every item in the house is Gothic. She wanted a modern kitchen and comfort above all else in her home. Since she is often on the road doing book-signings, outdoor maintenance has been kept at a minimum. But there is plenty of space to sit and write!! Also, she likes old-fashioned things, like riding a bike and drying her clothes on the line outside. She is a bit of a closet environmentalist.CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: yes, pleaseCREDIT TO SIMMERS FOR CUSTOM CONTENT USED: TSR, MTS, and my own patterns AdvancedNAME: MoonandsixpensLINK TO LOT: thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8701188LINK TO MEDIA: forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/comment/13841657/#Comment_13841657OPTIONAL CHALLENGE: ScreenshotsLEVEL: advancedLOT SIZE, ADDRESS & FINAL COST:Lot size: 40x30Location: 447 Shoreline Point, Starlight ShoresPrice:74691LOT DESCRIPTION & DETAILS: detailed in the media link.CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: yes pleaseCREDIT TO SIMMERS FOR CUSTOM CONTENT USED: N/A.

The second because what is more private then a private island and the third was that I had just watched a waterfall tutorial on YouTube and I really wanted to try it out. To that end I wanted to build something simple because Fire doesn't want the hassle of a complicated home upkeep and I wanted something a bit eclectic, but still cozy and tasteful because to me all authors are a bit on the fringe and always thinking creatively, seeing things for what they could be and not necessarily what they are. The library's decorations were kept to a minimum to reduce distractions (If you can ignore that view) in case Fire wanted to do some serious binge writing and almost every room has somewhere to sit in case she decides to take her laptop on the road. Alright I think that's about it, hope you enjoy.CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: Yes, pleaseCREDIT TO SIMMERS FOR CUSTOM CONTENT USED: N/AResultsBeginners -: 1st Place: Optional Challenge:Intermediates -: Comments1st Place: @iampes23 Optional Challenge:Advanced : Comments1st Place: @mederouin Optional Challenge:

Build-n-Share Challenge # 1 – Building Firm and Representative This Week’s Challenge Specifics: This week’s challenge actually consists of two projects. Creating a sim and creating a lot. You may enter just the lot or both of the challenges. Winners will be announced for each, creating an opportunity for six possible winners this week. The Sim: Create a representative for your building firm. This may be a “simself” or a pretty face for the public. Your sim may be uploaded with the lot or separately (from the sim bin). The Lot: Create your building firm. It can be a community lot or “home business.” It can be as big or small as you want on whichever size lot works best for you. You may also choose the style of your building (ie. ultra-modern, country, etc). Also create a name for your firm. This is the name we will associate with you and all of your builds in the Build-n-Share challenges. You should include this name in the description of your lot when you upload it to The Exchange.

Build-n-Share Weekly Challenge #70 The Foxglove Starter

Build Deadline: Wednesday, May 25 at Midnight Central Time

Thread for this week’s challenge: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/373316.page

The Foxglove Starter

In honor of Addict, the challenge this week will be one of the build types she is so famous for – the Starter!

In a rush, you gather up your portfolio and head for the door of your office. It’s 12:15, and you’re supposed to meet with your new client across town in just 15 minutes. Sunset Valley is a small town, but traffic can be fierce during the lunch rush.

“Rose,” you call to your secretary, “if Ms. Foxglove calls, tell her I’m on my way.”

Hopping in the car, you slam the door and speed out of the driveway. “Hmmm,” you think to yourself. “Foxglove…isn’t that some kind of a flower? I wonder what this client will be like. They’re all so different. But that’s what makes the job so much fun.”

After making good time, you arrive at the Little Corsican Bistro with a few minutes to spare. You give your name to the hostess, and she escorts you to Ms. Foxglove’s table. Your first impression is that she is very pretty, in a vintage sort of way.

Ms. Foxglove stands and offers her hand in greeting. “Hi, I’m Ginny Foxglove! Well, my real name is Virginia, but everyone just calls me Ginny. It’s so nice to meet you!”

Despite her somewhat conservative look, Ginny is friendly and exuberant. “It’s nice to meet you as well,” you say. You sit down and make small talk with Ginny while looking over the menu. After your orders are placed, you get down to business. “I understand you are looking to build a house."

“Yes,” says Ginny. “I have a little bit saved up. Not a whole lot, mind you. Just enough for a one bedroom , one bath house. That’s all I really need right now as I’m single and concentrating on my career.”

“Well, I’ve worked on all types of houses from the most extravagant to starters like yours,” you explain. I’ve learned over the years how to give even the smallest house a rich and inviting look.”

“That sounds perfect,” says Ginny. “What I’d really love is a country-style house with a cottage garden. I just adore flowers. In fact, I’d be just as happy relaxing outside in the garden as I would inside.”

As you talk with your client, ideas begin to blossom and take shape. English Country, French Country, which direction to take? Following a very productive lunch, you head back to your office with a plan in mind. You are certain that Ginny Foxglove will be thrilled with your final product.

STYLE - Country with cottage garden
BUDGET - 16,500

Build-n-Share Weekly Challenge #71 Community!

Build Deadline: Wednesday, June 8 at midnight Central

Thread for this week’s challenge:
http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/373316.page

Build-n-Share 100 - COMMUNITY!

Wow! It’s the 100th week of Build-n-Share challenges. Time sure flies… In honor of Build-n-Share’s 100th week, we are inviting all past, present, and new members to join in a community neighborhood project! For this very special anniversary, Addict had the idea of creating a community neighborhood filled with our community members and their houses. This challenge will take place in two phases. This week, please choose your lot and create your Simself or TS3 avatar household.

We have an idea for households, but please feel free to offer other suggestions as well: use your TS3 persona as your LAST name and your real 1st name (if you feel comfortable doing so) as your FIRST name. For example, I would be Kathy Kittkat7147. For my household, I would add my husband, Dale Kittkat7147 (it’s just the two of us!). If you don’t feel comfortable making your real family, you can, of course, post a fictitious family. In that case, please still use your TS3 persona somewhere in your name and avoid last names like “Sim” or “Avatar.” If we have too many of those, it would make relationships in the town a little confusing Also, we’d like to have a variety of family ages, types, and sizes to make the neighborhood as functional as possible, so feel free to add to your family if needed.

Next week will be the build week for your houses. You can make a Sim-replica of our real house or shoot for the moon and create the house of your dreams

One last thing, we need a name for this neighborhood we are creating! Any and all suggestions are welcomed. At the end of the week we’ll post a poll and let you, the members of Build-n-Share, decide on the name.

Build-n-Share Weekly Challenge #72 Generations!

Build Deadline: Wednesday, June 22 at midnight Central

Thread for this week’s challenge:
http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/210/373316.page

Build-n-Share #102-103 Generations!

One afternoon, you are working diligently on the plans for a new restaurant, the King and Pie, which will serve Thai food and French desserts. The intercom buzzes, and Rose, your secretary, says, “The Foster family is here for their 4:30 appointment.”

“Did I know about this appointment?” you ask, puzzled.

“Well, they sounded so desperate, and I just knew you could fit them in!” Rose says sheepishly.

You take a quick glance at yourself in the mirror, comb that lock of hair that always falls in your face, and tell Rose, “Please send them in.”

In walks a handsome family of five. The father is holding a newborn baby in his arms; the mother is shepherding in two other children. One, a girl, looks to be a teenager. The other is a boy of about 8 or 9.

The father begins speaking and you immediately recognize from his accent that he must be from Australia. “Hi, mate! I’m Jack Foster and this is me wife, Jenny, me daughter, Nicole, me son, Hugh, and the li’l one is Russell.”

You soon learn that the family has just been transferred from Perth, Australia. Jack is to begin a corporate job at the Doo Peas Tower.

“So what can I do for you?” you begin.

Jack speaks for the whole family and tells you about their wish for a newly built house rather than moving into an existing one. “Me mum-in-law—Jenny’s mother, Sarah Jones—will be coming to live with us in a few weeks after she tidies up her affairs. We want a granny flat for her, and the estate agent, Cookie Kwan (d’ya know her?) said there weren’t anything like that in Sunset Valley.”

“A granny flat?” you think. But you soon find out after gentle prodding that it is a separate apartment with its own entrance, kitchen, bedroom and living spaces. As you continue the discussion, you find out that Jack loves to barbecue and has always wanted to live at the beach. Jenny is a writer and works from home. Nicole is in high school and plans to be either an architect or a doctor. Hugh likes sports and playing with his Dad and doesn’t like taking baths. And Russell likes to eat and be loved.

You ask Jenny about her mother and find out that she is an avid guitarist. (“She says she wants her own place so that she won’t bother us with her practicing.”) Sarah is retired from being a music teacher, but might find a part-time job if there is an organic grocery in town.

When you ask about interior design, Jenny takes the lead. “I guess we like a contemporary look, but it has to be comfortable. I hate those places you see in magazines that look like no one lives there.”

“Any color scheme in mind?” you ask.

“Purple!” Jenny answers immediately.

“Purple? Just purple? Blue-purple? Red-purple? Lavender? Any of those?” you ask.

“Yes!” she says with a twinkle in her eye. After a pause, she continues, “Just little bits of purple here and there. You know, as an accent color. And we like light woods too. But I trust your taste for the overall scheme!”

“And what sort of budget do we have to work with?” you continue.

Jack takes over. “The corporation is footing the bill for our move here, and what with the sale of our house and all, we have §95,000 to spend.”

“Don’t forget Mum’s §105,000!” Jenny chimes in.

So as it nears 7 pm, you are finally ushering the family out of your studio. Rose (the rat!) has already left for the day. Jack turns to you and says, “You can have this ready for us in two weeks, can’t ya, mate?” Trying to hide the panic in your voice, you reply, “Of course, I can!”

Requirements:

• Budget: §200,000
• Lot should be on or near the beach.
• Main house: 4 bedrooms (one is a nursery), 3.5 bathrooms, office/library with computer for Jenny, garage (for 1 or 2 cars). Interior design: comfortable contemporary; your color scheme should include light colored woods and purple accents.
• Granny flat: can be a separate building on the same lot as the main house, a building attached to the main house, or a separate floor of the main house. The Granny flat should have a separate entrance, its own kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and living spaces. Architecture and interior design should be related to the main house but need not be the same. Be sure to provide a guitar and bicycle for Sarah Jones.
• Outdoor areas: a grilling space for Jack, a vegetable garden for Sarah Jones, and a yard for Hugh to play in.

Optional Challenge: Create the Foster family and provide pictures of the family living in their new home.

Note: You do not have to have the Generations Expansion Pack to enter this challenge.

Build-n-Share Weekly Challenge #73 The 1776 Diner

Build Deadline: Wednesday, July 6 at midnight Central

Thread for this week’s challenge:
http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/270/373316.page

Build-n-Share #104-105: The 1776 Diner

Hanging up the phone with Jack Foster, you breathe a sigh of relief. The Foster family just loves the house you designed for them. Only pausing a moment to enjoy your success, you buzz Rose and ask her to come in the office.

“Hi, boss!” she says brightly as she breezes into the office. She plops down in a chair and drops a folder on your desk.

“What’s this?” you ask.

“It’s our new client,” she chirps. I had him fill out some paperwork while you were on the phone.”

“My, but you are efficient,” you laugh. Send him in please.” As you chuckle to yourself, Rose sashays off to find the client. You rise and shake hands with a most unusual man. He seems to be wearing knickers. How odd…

“Good afternoon!” he booms. I’m Ben, and I have a bit of an unusual request for you.”

“Well, that’s what keeps things interesting around here,” you think to yourself. We specialize in unusual requests,” you reply reassuringly. “Why, one time we had a client who wanted an elevated house with no outside doors. Now, that was unusual!” You both share a laugh as you describe the job commissioned by Colonel Fearful.

“Just tell me what you need,” you say, and Ben begins to share his story.

“I’m a pretty patriotic guy,” he says. “And it’s been my life-long dream to own a little restaurant. Well, more of a diner, really. Nothing too fancy, just a little place where I can serve up some of my favorite dishes. I even have a name picked out – The 1776 Diner.”

“Sounds interesting! Do you have any ideas for the décor?”

“Oh yes,” Ben assures you. I want it to be decorated in my favorite colors – red, white, and blue.”

“Well, that’s certainly do-able. Any preferences on the style? ” you ask.

“I’m open on that front,” Ben tells you. I’ve thought about a typical 50’s diner or even a more historical theme to go with the 1776 name. I’ll leave those kinds of decisions up to you though – you’re the expert, after all.”

After a few more preliminaries, you have a good idea of what your client is asking for. As you show Ben out, your mind begins to consider the possibilities. “Hmmm,” you think to yourself, “I wonder why he looks so familiar…”

Requirements:

•Community Lot
•Include food cash registers (from buydebug) so that sims can actually eat at your diner
•Build at 64 Westlake Drive in Twinbrook
•Color scheme should be red, white, and blue (see optional challenge)
•The building style is up to you
•Include a patio with outside dining
•Don’t forget to provide parking
•CC is allowed

Optional Challenges

1. If you are not from the U.S., feel free to change the color scheme to reflect the colors of your homeland.
2. Download Ben Franklin and capture a picture of him in the diner. The best picture as decided by community vote will be featured at Builders’ Boulevard.

Build-n-Share Weekly Challenge #74 Summer Designer Showdown!!

Build Deadline: Wednesday, July 20 at midnight Central

Thread for this week’s challenge:
http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/315/373316.page

Build-n-Share 106-107 • Summer Designer Showdown!!

Calling all designers!

It is that time again! Time to let your style truly shine and compete in the Summer Designer Showdown!

If you are a veteran of BnS, you should already be quite familiar with these design challenges. The challenge here is not building, but taking a blank shell and deck it all out to the best of your designer abilities! Don't waste your time trying to change the architecture, because you will not be able to change the walls and roofing of this house!

http://i854.photobucket.com/albums/ab105/anjubee/BnS/sds_cover.png

Like the last Summer Designer Showdown, you will be choosing an inspirational object from below (all from the base game).

http://i854.photobucket.com/albums/ab105/anjubee/BnS/sds1.jpg

You will choose ONE of these items to use as your inspiration to decorate and furnish your house. In the end, when the judges look at your media, they should know which item you chose just by looking at the way you decorated and furnished. Please also include the object you chose somewhere in your house and be sure to have it in a screenshot. You can delete the objects you didn't choose as your inspiration. You also cannot duplicate the item you do use as your inspiration.

Build-n-Share Challenge #76 • Wedding Venue

Build Deadline: Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at midnight Central

Thread for this week’s challenge:
http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/315/373316.page

Build-n-Share 110-111 • Wedding Venue

You are sitting in your office going over the final details of the youngest Clavell's wedding when your secretary pops her head in.

"Hey Mrs. G, your next appointment is here." She announces.

You look up in confusion before you remember the Alan's. "Ahhh, thanks Amy. I'd nearly forgotten. Give me five minutes to pick this up and send them in please" You request as you begin organizing your files.

"No problem boss!" She says as she shuts the door on her way out.

Ten minutes later Mrs. Alan, her daughter Victoria, and Trevor Stevens (the Fiancé) had been brought in and were seated with refreshments.

"Now I know you two would like a summer wedding, so we need to go about the planning pretty quickly here. Do you have any idea what you would like in general, how many guests, and a location in mind? It's going to be hard to find a place this close to the date, but we'll find just the spot I'm sure." You say, ready to get deep into planning.

Mrs. Alan speaks up first. "All of us parents want the kids to plan the wedding of their dreams, so plan to let them make the decisions. However we were appalled when they told us Sunset Valley has no locations specifically geared towards weddings. That got my husband and I interested, as we have taken to investing in venues around the area. So we've decided as part of the wedding planning, you and the kids could take a look at our park venues. We've decided we would like you to completely redo it as a romantic spot for weddings for our daughters wedding first, then anyone else in Sunset Valley that would like to rent it out. It will be the first ever wedding venue here! We'd really like it if you could get it done for $69,000. After all, you'll have to put in bathrooms along with whatever these two are planning!" She says excitedly.

As you, the Bride, and Groom go over this new information you come up with a list of what they would like.

"We are both only children, so we won't have attendants since it would be too hard to choose between our friends. Taking this into consideration we have no specific color scheme in mind. I'll be wearing white, while Trevor will be wearing a black Tux. I really just want it romantic, so any mix of flowers will do." Victoria says dreamily.

"We'll need seating for the ceremony and for dinner. Maybe a canopy or building of some sort with a buffet table and dining tables would be good." Trevor adds in.

"And a play area for all of your friends children, plus a gazebo or an area for dancing for all us adults." Mrs. Alan throws in before the discussion wraps up.

"That all sounds fairly easy to do. Let's set up a date to pick a place and we'll get right to work." You say as you walk them out the door.

Requirements:

-Has to be a Sunset Valley lot (No world editor lots please)

-Must haves: Wedding Arch, buffet table, dance floor, stereo, bathrooms, and play area

-Canopy type area/Building(s) for dining and dancing

-Flowers, trees, and lighting

-Venue must cost no more than $69,000 to purchase in game (so please make it a community lot and name it)

Good luck!!!

Build-n-Share Challenge #77 • Back to School Bridgeport Style

Build Deadline: Wednesday, August 31, 2011 at midnight Central

Thread for this week’s challenge:
http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/480/373316.page

Build-n-Share 112-113 • Back to School Bridgeport Style

“Phew!,” you say as you look at the stack of client files on the your desk. Business is certainly building as your reputation spreads throughout Sunset Valley. Clients in other cities are even beginning to request your services. You buzz your secretary Rose. “Rose, is Mr. Jones here yet?”

“Yes, he’s just arrived,” answers Rose.

“Please send him right in.” You rise to meet Johnny Jones, the President of Bridgeport Junior College.

“Good morning,” says Mr. Jones as he grasps your hand in a firm handshake. “It’s so nice to finally meet you after hearing so much about your work.”

“Why, thank you,” you answer. “I’m excited to hear what kind of project BJC is planning. Please have a seat,” you say, gesturing to one of the chairs by your desk.

Mr. Jones takes a seat and begins to explain the project. “BJC is looking to make the transition from a commuter college to one that provides college housing. We want to expand our degree offerings and draw in more potential students. We don’t think we can do that without providing housing.”

“Wow, a college dormitory. This could turn into quite an extensive and lucrative project,” you think to yourself, nodding to encourage Mr. Jones to continue.

“One of our late alumni bequeathed the college an apartment building quite near the campus. We had originally thought to convert the building into classrooms, but the Board of Trustees feels it would be better to use this building for our first dorm.”

“So, you want me to design the new dormitory?” you ask.

“Well, in a sense. What we actually want you to do first is convert one of the apartments into a “model dorm.” We’ll potentially use this model in our college recruitment literature, and we’ll use the basic design of the space as a template for the rest of the renovation. We’ll want this space to have a bit of a lived-in look so that potential students can envision themselves living there. Does that make sense?”

“Absolutely,” you answer. “I’ll design a functional dorm space then add in personal touches as though students might actually live there.”

“Exactly,” confirms Mr. Jones. “Just don’t make it too realistic – no pizza boxes or piles of clothes strewn about. I remember what my dorm looked like in college,” he laughs.

You chuckle along with him. “Of course, I’ll get with my builders and start drawing up plans immediately. We’ll have a model dorm for you to look at in no time.”

Design Brief
Use Civil Suites at 24 2nd Avenue in Bridgeport (or if you don’t have Late Night you can construct a building with the same dimensions as shown in the picture below). Landscaping is not required for this challenge.
No budget, but keep in mind that this is a dorm, not a high end loft
2 BDR/1BA with a kitchenette
The dorm should sleep 4 people.
You can rearrange the interior walls any way you would like.
Make sure to include a study area.
You need to redecorate the hallway area as well. To do this you will have to press CTRL+SHIFT+C to bring up the console, then type in the following cheat RestrictBuildBuyInBuildings off

Build-n-Share Challenge #78 • Bar None

Build Deadline: Wednesday, September 14, 2011 at midnight Central

Build-n-Share Challenge #114-115 • Bar None

The intercom buzzes and you hear Rose say, “Your 2:30 is here.” “Thanks, Rose. Send him in.” Before the intercom disconnects you hear a rather rough voice say to Rose, “Thanks, doll!”

Before you have time to react, in walks a rather rough looking character. And yet, Michael Malone, your 2:30 appointment, is nattily dressed in a dark pinstriped suit and is carrying a fedora hat in one hand. Your instincts tell you to be cautious. You motion to him to take a seat.

“Well, Mr. Malone, what can I do for you today?” you say a little too brightly.

“My friends call me Mugsy on account’a my mug ain’t gonna win any beauty contests!” He laughs at his own joke, displaying a toothy grin. You laugh politely, too, and think to yourself, “He’s right about that…”

“Shall we get down to business then, Mr. Malone?” You are trying desperately to get through this interview.

“I said, ‘My friends call me Mugsy!’” This time there is steel in his smile.

“Um, yes…Mugsy.” You force a smile. “I see you’re opening a new bar?”

“Oh ya!” he says enthusiastically. “The boys and me bought a joint in town. You ever hear of the Li’l Corsican Bistro?”

You think to yourself, “There go my plans for a romantic dinner next week!” To the client, you say, “Of course, I know the restaurant very well.”

“We hear youz guys are the best in town, so we want ya to tear down the place and build us a classy bar. We even got a name for it: Bar None. Ya get it? Bar None?”

“Uh, yes, I get it. Very clever!” You laugh feebly.

As you get down to brass tacks about the project, you can’t help but hope there won’t be any brass knuckles in your future. You take very careful notes of what the client requires: lots of dark wood, leather and gold fixtures for the bar area, a game room, a dance floor, an area where Mugsy’s “gal”, Moxxie, can perform with her band, and a secret room or “office” where “the boys” can have their meetings.

“Youz guys can have it done in two weeks?” His statement is more a command than a question.

“Of course!” you say a little too brightly again. As you usher him out, you think to yourself, “I’ve got to have a talk to Rose about screening clients!”

Requirements:

• Build on the Little Corsican Bistro lot in Sunset Valley. Zone it either “Dive Bar”, “Hangout” or “Vistors Allowed” (depending on which expansion packs you have).
• Architecture, landscaping and interior décor should be what you think Mugsy would call “classy” and include dark wood, leather and gold fixtures. Remember, there may be a pair of cement shoes in your future if you get it wrong!
• The building should include a bar (either Late Night style with bartender or regular juice bar), a game room, a dance floor with public sound system (or dance area with stereo system if you don’t have Late Night), a performance area with instruments (or just guitars, if you don’t have Late Night), and an “office” for the “boys” to meet. If you have World Adventures, use a secret door for the office. Otherwise, conceal the entrance some other way.
• Budget: as Mugsy says, “We want this joint to be classy, so ‘the sky’s the limit!’”

Optional Challenge: Create Mugsy and Moxxie Malone and show them enjoying an evening at Bar None.

Good luck!
