Build-n-Share Challenge #182 **Jack Frost Comes Knocking** Due February 29, 2024

Putting this here along with the updated entry form since apparently we still can't edit the first page. 

Welcome back, builders! After a brief hiatus, the Build-n-Share Sims 4 challenge is back and better than ever. We're laying new foundations in a fresh forum, ready to welcome both new faces and returning veterans. As we gear up for our first build on this exciting new platform, we're also gearing up to celebrate a milestone — Build-n-Share's 10th birthday this August! So, dust off your virtual blueprints and get ready to create, because this celebration is all about honoring the creativity and community that have made the last decade unforgettable. Let's build not just structures, but memories, stories, and friendships that will stand the test of time. Here's to the next chapter in our shared Sims saga!
This challenge will be extra long, running until August 31st to give everyone who wants to participate a chance to complete their builds.  Starting with #BNS184, we’ll be back to our one-month format.

For this challenge, you’re asked to look back, connecting the past to the future. Pick one of your Sims 3 builds and  recreate it using the Sims 4, using all of the new build tools and features. If you didn’t play the Sims 3 or don’t have any way to get images of your Sims 3 build to recreate it, choose the earliest of your Sims 4 builds that you can find, either on the gallery or in your game. Add that pool ormultilevel deck or the L-shaped stairs you always thought would make the build perfect but which weren’t possible at the time. Take a Sims 3 apartment building and turn it into a residential rental using For Rent. Add a basement under a recreated Sims 3 house with a foundation. The only limit is your  imagination.
Twist; Represent the number 10 in some way in your build - it could be the same object used 10 times, two objects used five times, or five objects used twice.  Even a house with 10 rooms or 10 steps leading up to the front porch would count. If you use objects, be sure to let us know what you picked.


The Brief:
Budget: $250,000
Lot size: Any. If you can’t find a Sims 4 lot the same size as the Sims 3 one, pick one as close as possible.
Recreate a build of your own from either  The Sims 3 or the Sims 4. Make sure it’s the oldest you can find if you pick the Sims 4.
You can add levels or rooms to the original home, just make sure to include at least one exterior shot of how it used to look.
Houses can be any size.
Remember to landscape.

The Sim Challenge: Recreate the sims family who lived in your chosen house using all new  CAS  features - body hair, nails, scars, likes and dislikes,  etc. Reuse their original traits or give them new ones. For sims based on the Sims 3, give them new aspirations in place of their Lifetime Wishes.

The Room Challenge:
Budget: 10000
Pick just one room to update or recreate. Find some way to display something  new to the Sims 4’s build mode since you first built it. It could be the new light switch or free-placed windows and doors for example. 

Remember to include the hashtag #bns183 with your build or it will not be judged! Entries are due by Saturday, 31st August 23:5:59 New York Time/EST.
