The 4x4 Challenge for Sims 3
I have been working on this one for awhile and I have 2 versions: the more difficult 4x4 version and the slightly easier 5x5 version, the 5x5 version is better suited if you have only the base game or...

@dx1965 yeah, placing the furniture outside of the house is a cheat. I'd say from the way you describe your playing of this challenge you're pretty much cheating all the way through it. :lol: I admit I have a hard time playing without getting at least a little cheaty at times but I try to keep those kind of things within the spirit of a challenge.
You say the plants in the garden are wilting. Have they been watered? That's one thing I forgot to say about Yogi Tea. I bought a sprinkler for her garden so she no longer has to hand water everything. Try clicking on the wilting plants and see if there's an option to "tend garden" and select it. It's what I always use so everything aside from fertilizing that needs done gets done.
@Charlottesmom I use the freerealestate cheat when moving in Sims I'm not playing so they can afford housing. Their starting cash just stays in their inventory and with Twallan's Story Progression if multiple Sims are living in a house sometimes one or more will take that money and move out on their own. I had downloaded a brother and sister pair from MTS and put them in Bellatrix and the next thing I knew the brother had bought his own place and moved into it.
I've got to try something different in my game today. For whatever reason I'm having a lot of stopping/starting in Bellatrix and I don't know what's causing it, whether I just have too many Sims there for my computer to process or whether it's something else. At any rate I'm going to try playing a different save for a bit and see how it handles. I may also start the Nothing Is Free challenge. I started something similar way back when and I know that's another thing I could sink my teeth into playing from time to time. Where some people like to play different families in the same town I like playing one family in different towns. I enjoy approaching the game from different angles and the change of scenery that kind of thing provides.
