Red.neck Arkateck (Architect) Challenge

Ok Builders, I don't know if you guys will consider this a 'challenge' or not, but here ya go. It's not a long one but it'll keep you busy for a bit. It's simple in the concept but not exactly easy to do, though not too hard either.


Choose any ONE of the 40x30 sized lots. Can not be anything larger than that. ALL units MUST be built within the confines of this one single lot. You may use any cheat or Mod that does not interfere with the size of the lot. (Just in case there IS one out there.) Yes, this means you CAN use MOO if you wish.

Build :

10 individual housing units consisting of:

5 Units with 1 bedroom each.

5 units with 2 bedrooms each.

Out of the 5 units with 2 bedrooms, 2 of them MUST sleep a family of 4 or more. There must be at least 3 beds in these units.

1 Bedroom units must sleep at least 2 Sims.


All 10 of the Units MUST be only 1 story..., NO SECOND level to any of the units.

All units MUST be stand alone units. NO duplexes, NO apartments & NO condos.

All units MUST have a Kitchen, a Living Room & at least 1 Full Bathroom with shower and/or tub, sink and toilet.

All Kitchens must be complete with stove, fridge & sink and be fully functional for Sims to use.

All beds must be set so the Sim can use the bed.

Added: You may combine living rooms/kitchens & dining areas. However bed rooms and baths must be separate from the main ares of each unit.

The house must be fully functional for easy use by all Sims living there.

Each unit must be complete and decorated.

The unit park (lot) itself must be fully landscaped, decorated & ready for Sim use.

ENJOY.

P.s. Your build doesn't have to be in the style of a Mobile Home Park but it is this concept that gave birth to this challenge thus the name of Red.neck Arkateck.

    I'm going to do this challenge!

    Can anyone tell me what "red.neck" means? :o



    @Trendnig - Do you know who Jeff Foxworthy is? If not, he's a comedian who has a "You might be a red.neck, if..." routine. You can google him if you're not sure. Very funny.

  • I'm going to try this again now that we have lockable doors. Lets get building those trailer parks, folks! :p
    Then we can fill them with weird and wonderful characters to make our towns... Interesting...
  • Having some fun with this one... sims aren't required to be comfortable, are they? ;)

    Edit: This reeeaaally makes me wish the game had bunk beds! I hadn't realized that it didn't until this challenge but now the lack of them makes me really sad :(
  • I think I want to do this challenge :) I will post it to youtube when I'm done, after families are created for it...well one big family I suppose :lol:
  • I like the sound of this! Haven't had a good ol' build in a while! :)
  • So, whilst looking for building inspiration I stumbled onto this and started only to find I have 9 units, not 10 but they look so cool... sigh... back to the drawing board...

    *edit* Managed to get it to work with a 10th without sacrificing the aesthetic... looks kinda like retirement units from the outside
  • I am really excited to do this challenge. I love to build in the sims 4 and I really like decorating. I even have a few ideas just from reading it. Quick question; can they be on foundations and can they be on separate lots (the small ones)?
  • Wow...it has been a long time since I've been here! I loved doing this challenge...it was really fun to try and fit all ten homes onto one lot. I'm soooo glad it's getting a resurgence! Anywho use this #arkateck if you want to upload them to the Gallery. Have fun guys!

    Yes, the homes can be on individual foundations and they can be on any ONE 40x30 lot. The lot of your choice is fine but it must be size 40x30 or SMALLER. They must be individual homes, separate of each other but all on the same lot. I hope that clears everything up. Have fun!

  • I'm in! I've done a few communnal housing lots, but I haven't tried 10 separate homes before :o
    This should be interesting...
  • I know you wrote this challenge years ago but this is on my 'to do this' tomorrow!!! Thank you for thinking of it!!
