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 Challenge #157-158 • Fallout Shelter

Build Deadline: Wednesday, July 18, 2012 at midnight Central

Thread for this week's challenge: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/1875/373316.page

Build-n-Share Challenge #157-158 • Fallout Shelter

While standing next to your office window, you overlook the festivities celebrating Independence Day waiting for you final appointment of the day to show up. Just then Rose buzzes on the intercom. "Your 4 O'Clock appointment is here." She announces.

"Go ahead and bring him in Rose." You say as you take a seat, pulling a file to you. You've been over Charlie Knox's file multiple times and still can't get over the oddness of his requests.

Rose opens the door and leads in a elderly man. His white hair sticking up, his clothing immaculate, shoulders slightly stooped, and fidgety blue eyes behind glasses look over every detail in the office.

"Good afternoon Mr. Knox." You greet him, gesturing to the chair in front of you desk. "Please have a seat, would you like any refreshments?"

"No, thank you." Mr. Knox refused gruffly, but settles into the chair.

You open the file and get your notepad ready as Rose takes her leave. "Now Mr. Knox, I've been over your file repeatedly and I have to admit I'm not sure we've gotten your requests on your new home taken down properly." You admit, since you don't want to tell him outright they seem odd.

He reaches for the file and you hand it over, patiently waiting for him to read it. He clears his throat. "Nope, your lady out there got it right." He announced. "And you may as well call me Charlie." He added as an afterthought.

"Well Charlie, why don't you explain this to me in greater detail. Give me specifics of what you want, budget, and any other specifics you can think of. Then I can let you know how long this project will take and see if we can come to an agreement on it." You say, getting your pen ready.

He sits forward on his chair, eyes gleaming as he gets ready to go into detail. "It's like this you see, everyone said the world was going to end in 2012. And here we are in 2012, but so far nothing's happened. I think something will happen, but it won't destroy the world. And just in case it's going to happen at the end of the year, I plan on being prepared. I've cashed in my stocks, saved up my retirement money, and am ready to have my fallout shelter built. I don't want a regular old one though, I want a fully liveable shelter." He explained.

You're completely stumped and left speechless by his explanation. "Okay, well I need to know exactly how you want this done." Is all you manage to say.

And he explains what he needs. It's quiet the list, but you're up for it. After going over the specifics and the budget, you shake hands with Mr. Knox. "It was a pleasure to meet you Charlie. Give me two weeks and I'll have your shelter built for you." You say as he leaves the office.

After Rose has let him out and locked up, she enters the office to see you sitting in your chair dazed. After hearing it herself, her only response is "I think we should get a bottle of nectar and take it back to my place to drink. Then maybe ol' Charlie will make a bit more sense." And the two of you leave, all the while going over the list of requirements.

Requirements:

Budget: $150,000
Home: House must be built on a 30x30 Lot. You can choose a lot with a home on it already and just add the fallout shelter underneath or choose an empty lot to build both the upper home and fallout shelter on.

-A full home is needed underground
-Home must have 2 bedrooms
-2 bathrooms, one off the master bedroom
-Lots of activities to keep someone busy for long periods of time by themselves.

****EDIT**** For the house above ground you can have a nice house, a shack...basically anything goes. You can choose a lot with a starter house on it and just add the shelter to that so you don't have to build 2 residences or you can build both on a completely empty lot. It's all up to you.

As for the budget. A 30x30 lot is $1800 if I'm not mistaken, so you can go to $151,800. If you use a lot with a house on it, the cost of the house will have to work within the budget. However for this one you can have the extra $1800 and have the fully furnished home come to that $151,800. We'll say that Mr. Knox already owned the land he wanted it built on. I was going to include that and forgot, so my mistake. (That's why it had to be on a 30x30)

Sorry for the mixup. End of edit.

Optional Challenge:

Create Charlie Knox

Build-n-Share Challenge #159-160 • Big Budget Craftsman

Build Deadline: Wednesday, August 1, 2012 at midnight Central

Thread for this week's challenge: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/2010/373316.page

Build-n-Share Challenge #159-160 • Big Budget Craftsman

Your Clients have just managed to have their dream house, a craftsman style 3 bedroom, built. Then they found out the Mrs was having their first baby. That left her too sick and tired to do much. She still hasn't picked the siding, any flooring, done the landscaping, decorated, etc. All she has is columns, the brick foundation, windows, doors, and outdoor stairs in the colors she choose.

http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/hh626/milynn80/Build%20N%20Share%20Shell/1d6dcc0a-282f-4743-9549-c3c7f712600cwallpaper.jpg

There's a lot of work to do, but you have a really good sized budget. The clients are willing to pay to get this done fast. They need the house done and the house done quickly. Here are the floor plans:

First Floor:

http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/hh626/milynn80/Build%20N%20Share%20Shell/Screenshot-440.jpg

Second Floor:
http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/hh626/milynn80/Build%20N%20Share%20Shell/Screenshot-441.jpg

Requirements:
Your budget is $150,000 fully furnished
Must be placed on a 40x40 lot so all entries have the same exact space to work with
Some landscaping, how much is up too you
One bedroom must be a master, they prefer a suite
One bedroom must be a nursery (You can do a boy one and a girl one, or a neutral nursery along with a guest room...)
You must end up with three bedrooms in the end and three bathrooms.
THE MAIN CHALLENGE REQUIREMENT:
You can only use items from the base game, we are going fully back to basics....just with a big budget. Let's see how creative we can all get. No expansion packs, no stuff packs, no store items, no CC, and no buydebug.

Things you may do to the shell:
You can change the interior stair color only.
You can replace windows/doors, but must take up the same amount of space. Exp. If you remove 3 one space windows for one window...you must use one 3 space window. They must also keep the white trim. Let's see how you can make warm natural woods flow with the white washed wood.

The fireplace in the home must stay, but you can change the patterns/colors on it.

Things you may not do to the shell:
No walls can be taken down
The outside stairs, columns, and brick foundation must stay the same

Have fun and I can't wait to see what you can do. I'd love to see who can represent a nice and well thought out Craftsman style throughout the home and what you can all manage with the landscaping.

LINK TO THE SHELL: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=6112817

THIS IS THE HOUSE COMPLETELY FINISHED IF YOU'D LIKE AN IDEA OF HOW TO DESIGNATE ROOMS OR JUST WHAT CAN BE DONE. FAIRLY BASIC, BUT AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT CAN BE DONE AND FOR JUST UNDER $139,000:

Build-n-Share Challenge #161-162 • Welcome Mr. Principle

Build Deadline: Wednesday, August 15, 2012 at midnight Central

Thread for this week's challenge: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/2130/373316.page

Build-n-Share Challenge #161-162 • Welcome Mr. Principle

As you settle into your office for another morning of client meetings , Rose comes into your office in a flurry of activity. " Mrs. Chalke is here and wants an emergency meeting with you!" You stop in the middle of raising your cup of tea to your lips. "What?" you stammer! Rose gives you that look she only reserves for times like these. " Should I usher her into the office?" You blink as you gather your thoughts. " Yes show her in, please, Rose"

Milderd Chalke, was the intimidating new Superintendent of Sunset Valley schools. A robust woman in her mid-fifties with a shock of overdyed fire engine red hair, Mrs. Chalke gives off an aura of no nonsense as she enters your office. You notice she has a file folder crammed full of papers in her hand as she enters.

"Hello! Please don't get up from your chair! Let's cut to the chase and dispense with formalities!" She has you in a wide-eyed glare! You are completely stunned at her brisque manner. "Okay, go ahead with what you have planned, Mrs. Chalke!", you stammer!

"Sunset Valley has hired a new Principal for this term and he and his family needs a new home. He is originally from Lucky Palms, where he was the Physical Education instructor for the district!" she states. "We at the school district have heard of your thorough and speedy work on some other local projects. We hope you can handle this job with all of your rumored attention and haste."

You finally get to interject a word into this conversation. "Yes, I would be happy to help design a new home for .........?", you state. "Mr. Paulio Principle is the new Principal!" she intercedes. " He will be joined by his wife, Lolita, his teenage daughter, Moira, his nine-year-old son, Ulysses, and his toddler sion, Yves", she commands!

"They want a home that will fit into Sunset Valley but has some modern and contemporary elements like homes in Lucky Palms! A home with at least 3 bedrooms, but 4 would be better, since they plan to adopt another child and at least 2.5 bathrooms. A gym, study, pool, and an outdoor entertaining area would also be nice. They would also like a roomy kitchen and at least a one car garage!", she says with a flourish! "Oh yes, the school district is providing $105,000 for the land and construction."

She stands up suddenly and extends her hand! You stand, grasp her hand, and state, " Mrs. Chalke, I think we can get what you need done by the start of term." She drops your hand and exits the room. You stand staring at the door with a puzzled look smeared across your face!

Requirements:
NOTE: You do not need Lucky Palms to attempt this challenge. The client's are only looking for a home like the one they had in Lucky Palms to be built in Sunset Valley.
Budget: $105,000
Lot Siae: Any
Rooms Required: Living, Dining, Kitchen, At least 3 bedrooms but prefer 4, at least 2.5 bathrooms, a gym, and a study
Outdoor Areas: Pool and an Outdoor Entertaining Area
Other: At least a One Car Garage
The home needs to fit Sunset Valley but have some modern touches like Lucky Palms!
Remember you have a family of five and they want to adopt at least one more child. You have Mr. Paulio Principle, his wife, Lolita, his teen daughter, Moira, his nine-year-old son, Ulysses, and his toddler son, Yves.

Optional Challenge:
Create the Principle family and show them adopting another child to add to their loving and growing home.

Some Sites that may help you in your building of a home with modern touches.

Build-n-Share Challenge #163-164 • Let's Get Supernatural!

Build Deadline: Wednesday, August 29, 2012 at midnight Central

Thread for this week's challenge: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/2235/373316.page

Build-n-Share Challenge #163-164 • Let's Get Supernatural!

The upcoming Sims 3 Supernatural expansion pack is one that many simmers have been looking forward to for a long time. Even if Supernatural is not your cup of tea as far as gameplay goes, I think that it provides a great opportunity for creativity in building and design, which, of course, is the focus of B-n-S. So... your challenge this week is to pick one of the NEW supernaturals we will be able to play as (fairy, werewolf, witch, or warlock) and design the perfect home for him...or her...or it

Here are your parameters:
2 Bedroom
2 Bathrooms
Must have design elements that make it apparent which supernatural you are building for
30 x 30 lot or larger
89,000 cost limit (including lot, house, and furnishings)

You can go all out with this one, or play it more subtle (think a supernatural who is trying to integrate into the Sims world - maybe they have a human wife or husband and a normal day job, human friends, etc).
Above all, have fun! And let's get Supernatural!!! http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/smileys/splum-fairy-smiley.gif http://www.council-of-elrond.com/forums/images/smilies/girl_werewolf.gif

Optional Challenge:
Best Covershot: Present ONE image of your build (picture-in-picture is allowed) with your entry form. Caption it, frame it, use all the photo-effects you want. If it works as an upload image for you build, all the better. The winning shot from each entry category will be featured on Builder's Boulevard.

GOOD LUCK!!!!

Build-n-Share Challenge #165-166 • Two Modern Guys

Build Deadline: Wednesday, September 12, 2012 at Midnight Central

Thread for this week's challenge: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/2340/373316.page

Build-n-Share Challenge #165-166 • Two Modern Guys

As you settle into your seat for a day of meetings and site visits, you notice Rose smiling while carrying a weird metal orb with what looks like arms coming out of one side towards your office. She enters with a smug look on her face. "Rose what do you have?" you ask. With a condescending look that only Rose has, she gives you a quick remark "a special gift for you from your next appointment as inspiration for their request" she quips!

Your curiosity peaked by this strange gift, you tell Rose to usher them into your office. She leaves with a look of a woman on a mission.

You take a quick peak at the orb she has placed on your desk and notice that it is not arms but pieces of multi-colored stained glass that forms rays coming from one side of the orb. You also notice the orb is made up of different metallic textures that hold and bend the light. You wonder what this interesting piece of artistic inspiration holds for your meeting.

Rose beeps you on the intercom. "Mr. Lothario is here!" You wonder why Don Lothario is here. Has he finally settled down and needs a home?

Rose opens your door and ushers a young man into your office. This young man is definitely not Don Lothario. He is tall and muscular but not overly. He has light brown hair and deep sea green eyes. He holds out his hand, " I am Seine Lothario! It is very nice to meet you!"

You reply," Hello Mr. Lothario! How may I help you today?" He states" I am here today because I am moving here to Sunset Valley from Bridgeport with my roommate, Max Koffi. He could not be here today since he is having a showing at the Twinbrook Art Museum! We need something modern and industrial that will meet our artistic needs!"

"Modern and industrial! Is there anything more you would like in this home?" You ask. "Yes!" he adds quickly! "We want a lot of textures-brick, metals, concrete, cinderblocks-all the things that bring to mind a gritty, industrial look. But we also want clean lines preferrably with a lot of leather and chrome. We need two bedrooms both with full sized beds! At least one bath but if you can fit more than go for it. The main goal for this home is we need an art studio , well a combination art studio and sculpting studio. You see I love to sculpt and have a pretty lucrative career and Max is a promising painter and artist."

As you continue to talk, Seine fills you in on more of his and Max's requirements for their new home.
As he finishes you say, "Mr. Lothario, I think we can have what you and your roommate need in about two weeks." He looks quite shocked as he replies, " Thank you! I hope you can. I have heard great things about your firm from my uncle Don!" With that he heads out the door with the Lothario swagger you have come to know!

Requirements:
Budget: $61,000
Two Bedrooms both with double beds with at least one bathroom
plus the usual living/dining/kitchen areas
A one car garage
Modern and industrial exterior and interior-Lots of brick, concrete, cinderbloc, metals, leather
Art studio with both artistic and sculpting equipment(if you do not have the sculpting equipment then just artequipment will be okay!)
Outdoor space with a pool for relaxing and seating for entertaining
Lot size must be at least a 30 X 20

Optional Challenge: Create Seine Lothario and Max Koffi and show them enjoying their new home and each working in their new art/sculpting studio.

Have fun and good luck!

Build-n-Share Challenge #167-168 • Beach Blanket Bingo

"Drat," you think to yourself as you end yet another seemingly unproductive screening call from a prospective client. "I'm not getting a single thing done today." Rose has been out for three days now on her annual week-long vacation, and you are beginning to sorely regret the decision not to hire a temp in her place. "I'm really going to have to see about giving her a raise when she returns," you mutter.

As you try to straighten your desk to get organized for the day, you hear the door to the outer office open. Jumping quickly to your feet, you bump into the corner of the desk in your haste to make the new arrivals feel welcome. Gritting your teeth against the pain, you put on a gracious face and limp out of your office. A young, rather casually dressed couple is standing awkwardly by the front door.

"Welcome!" you gush. "You must be Hank and Pauline. It's so nice to finally meet you!" The couple looks a little panicked at your approach, and you mentally make the note to tone it down a notch. Still fighting against the sure-to-be-bruised throbbing in your leg, you take a step back and try to smile naturally at the couple. They hesitantly return your smile. "Please, come in and make yourselves comfortable," you say as you gesture towards your office. "Can I get you anything to drink? Coffee, tea, juice... water maybe?"

"Juice would be great if it's fresh-squeezed," Hank responds. "Or spring water if you have it." Pauline nods in agreement.

You cringe inwardly realizing you've forgotten to replenish the fresh juice that surely expired a few days ago, mentally chalking up another reason that Rose deserves a raise. "Spring water it is! I'll be right back," you respond merrily and hurry off to prepare drinks for your clients, again kicking yourself for not having hired someone to take care of these sorts of things in Rose's absence.

Several moments later, your clients are comfortably settled in your office and ready to talk to you about their needs. "So," you begin, "I understand that you are looking to upgrade to a larger house? Expanding your family as I understand?"

Pauline smiles at this. "Yes," she answers with a glowing smile. "I'm about 4 months along at this point, and our babies will be arriving sometime in March."

"Babies? As in plural?" you ask.

"Oh, yeah!" enthuses Hank. "We've got two cooking. It's going to be epic!" You can't help but smile at his obvious joy.

"We've been living right on the beach over on Sunsong Avenue, and we love it," Pauline explains. It's a small place though, and we really need a larger one for us and the twins."

"Yep," says Hank mournfully. "I can see the waves from my front porch be out there to catch some in 5 minutes flat if they're breaking right..." he trails off. "But," he says firmly, "it's time to grow up. We've got to have space for the new tiny humans. If it takes me 20 minutes to reach the beach, that's just the price I have to pay." He looks a little dejected for a moment, but brightens as soon as he glances at Pauline. She returns his smile.

"So," you probe, "what size is your current house, and what size are you looking to upgrade to?"

"The way it's set up now, it's 1 bedroom, 1 1/2 baths," answers Pauline. "Although the workout room is technically a bedroom. For our new house, we need at least two bedrooms - a nursery and a master - and we'd like another one that we can make into a combination workout room and study. I'm going to be working from home for a while after the kids are born, so a home office area for me is a must."

You nod in agreement as you rapidly jot down notes. "And the babies..." you inquire, "Do you know if they're going to be boys or girls?"

"Nope!" responds Hank emphatically. "And we don't want to know until the big reveal. The birth, I mean, " he adds as if unsure if you've understood his meaning. Pauline smiles indulgently at her fiancé at this.

"Oh, yes," you respond. "So, the nursery should be decorated in neutral colors?"

"I like tan or grey with maybe yellow or green accents," Pauline interjects. They will look great no matter what sex the twins turn out to be."

"Definitely," you agree. "And for the main parts of the house... do you have any color or style preferences?"

Hank interjects here. "Well, I'll be the first to admit it - I'm pretty much a beach bum. I've lived by the shore my entire life. I know a beach-front house is not in our budget at this point, but I'd love it if you could bring that vibe to our new place."

Pauline nods in agreement. "And even though we're going to be parents, we're not, like, going to turn into OUR parents," she shudders slightly but giggles as well. "A fresh, beachy vibe is what we're looking for. Maybe a little modern twist. Or even rustic. We trust your judgment. As long as there's room for us and the new babies, we're going to be happy.

"And the budget?" you inquire.

"We can get about 55,00 for our current house, and I've saved up almost 15,000 from giving surfing lessons over the past few summers," Hank responds. "So 70,000 would be our max budget. If you can get it looking fab for under that amount it would be a bonus. Any little bit we have left over will be a nest egg for the kiddo's college fund."

You smile in anticipation of creating a new home for this endearing couple, jotting down notes as you interview them further. This is going to be a fun challenge!

Design Brief:

Current home: 1 Sunsong Ave, Sunset Valley
Current home value: 55, 000
Current home specs: 1 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath with workout room
New home location: anywhere in Sunset Valley off the main beach road, any size lot
New home specs: 2 bedrooms (1 nursery, 1 master) with workout room/study, 2 bath
New home budget: 70,000 max

Optional Challenge:
Have Pauline Wan and Hank Goddard create twins in game and post one pic of the family in the new home. The winning photo from each entry level will be featured on Builders' Boulevard.

Have fun and good luck!

OPTIONAL Challenge:
Create a spooky story using images from you build.
Use no more than 10 images and use this story starter to kick things off:

That abandoned house two doors down has always been a bit creepy. Lights seeming to come on at odd hours... dead birds on the porch... it's just odd.
Then, last night as I was taking my dog King for what turned out to be a longer evening walk than usual, I heard the strangest sounds drifting out of the window...

I didnt get the story prompt,so I just made my own story about the house. I understand that this probably disqualifies me; I had fun making this so that is cool.

LINK TO LOT: I'm not uploading this one due to current problems with my game. (I'm fairly certain I'll be spending quite a bit of time in the near future reinstalling my game due to it not currently being playable.)
