Tiny House Challenge
There is a movement for tiny homes that I find very appealing. We've had contests before on building on a 10x10 lot and that in itself is challenging. I was looking through the builders forum in th...

I've been following this thread almost since the beginning, but haven't had a chance to comment yet. So many wonderful builds!
@ciane: You have never made a build I haven't thought was truly beautiful. Many of them are styles I don't play, but I can't help admiring the clean lines and interesting textures that you use. I'm always amazed at what you can fit into a starter budget, too. :)
@creativemetaphor: I have yet to see a medieval build by you that I haven't loved. What a wonderful little *coughs* starter! :D Well, even if it's not starter priced, I can still pop a Sim into it with the free real estate cheat. It's such a perfect little cottage!
That little Spanish build reminds me of some of the homes in my city that are in some of the older areas. Most of those have been painted over in either white or bright colors, but the adobe color you use looks much nicer.
I love that little Victorian. That's a TINY Victorian! I don't know that I've ever seen one that small, so it's amazing!
That fourth one made me think of Robinson Crusoe, or something similar. Maybe that's what you had in mind? It's adorable for someone who wants to play as though they're on a small island. :)
That non-house is awesome! Makes me think of a trader's tent on a caravan trail. :)
@Kgaff: What a cute little studio apartment! Can just see that being used for a student in the University world.
The next three you have are cute, but I think my absolute favorite was the little Asian house. It's such a perfect little one Sim Asian home!
I love Chadwick! What a gorgeous Victorian! (I always cancel newspapers, too. They just seem too out of place in medieval worlds, and I just don't like having them in my non-medieval worlds.) Those roof pieces can be complicated to use at times; you worked them in really well, and that's surprising in such a small build.
@AlphaFen (aka The Overlord): I love that blue bakery. It's so pretty, with those different fences being used in place of walls! I think the blue overload would be too much in a home, but it's fine in a venue.
@suzses: I love that micro mocha color scheme! I can never seem to theme colors so well in a house, without it being too much. But this works very well!
And that Christmassy one, I NEED that one for my Winter Wonderland game. It's so pretty! (And you got a TREE in, as Jude said!)
@snowdove58: I love that house! (The first one you posted.) I always love it when people use the various roof pieces in the game. :)
Eco Shelter looks like it would fit in really well in Riverview. It's not a style I play, but I can still admire it. :) I particularly like that roof, and the solar panels on the top are a great touch.
That last one you did, I like the outside, but I really LOVE the colors on the inside. The underground garden is really cool. Gardening (and cooking) is one of my favorite things in the Sims, so I always want to have a garden somehow. :) And then green dragons ftw. ;)
@Jude525: Your cake build made me chuckle. Not sure I'd use it unless I'm making a world where I want everything over-the-top, but it was cute. :)
@Fireheart2010: What a nice little cottage! Getting a garden in is pretty amazing. :)
That second house is cute, but I agree with Ciane - the terrain challenges! :o I've had the same thing happen when placing my own lots; an area will LOOK flat, and I'll plop down a lot, then when I actually go to build on it, I discover that it's on a slope. :( Sometimes that's OK, if you can work it on; other times, it's a pain. And it's not always portable into other worlds, since sometimes the front door becomes unroutable.
