Sims 4 Build-n-Share Archives

 

 

 

You stretch out on your couch after a long weekend in the North Pole. You have really enjoyed your time teaching the elves about different types of architectural designs, but it has been a bit exhausting as well. You just wrapped up the teaching part of the job, and you’re pleased with the progress the elves have made. You have given them their "exam" requirements to build either a dollhouse or action figure/superhero lair using the techniques you have taught them. Now you have a whole month to relax before you have to go back to help "judge" their projects and offer final suggestions to the elves.

 

 

-the budget is $250,000 (this includes the lot cost).

 

-the doll house or lair must have an "open" side, just like a real toy.

 

-keep in mind that a "child" must be able to reach in and play in every room or space you create.

 

-it should be at least two stories high with a staircase or ladder as well as a bathroom.

 

-it should have at least 6 different rooms/spaces to play in.

 

-don't forget to landscape.

 

 

-create a family or group of superheroes/action figures with at least 4 sims.

 

-you can pick all traits, likes, dislikes, and other details.

 

-show them enjoying the house or lair.

 

 

-create a bathroom.

 

-budget is $10,000.

 

Remember to include the hashtag #bns185 with your build or it will not be judged!

ENTRY DETAILS: I've always loved the idea of my sims children/preteens being able to go play in a life-size dollhouse, but I usually stick to life-like, non-fanciful builds...so one day I thought to build my sims a dollhouse in sylvan glade to travel to like their own fantasy world. I envision this being a child's treehouse, where they travel with all their friends and the build is their collective imagination within Sylvan Glade. There are many activities to do while there, including pumpkin carving and wishing well, things that don't often get placed in my community lots or houses. There are a few things I used as decor, even though they are really meant for gameplay (like the knitting basket next to the couch that they can't reach), but they have a knitting basket on an upper floor where they can reach it. They can do almost everything that's shown, including getting into the double bed that looks like they might not be able to. The swing set often disappears upon loading even with cheats enabled, but I haven't had a problem with anything else. Sims can reach every room and facility.

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM Yes please

CREDIT FOR CC/RECOLORS: no cc/mods, but be sure to download with bb.moveobjects and I forget the one that I used to enable this lot to be buildable

On the second floor is a hallway (+ balcony), Barbie's bedroom & bathroom, and a guest bedroom & bathroom (can also be Ken's room). On the third floor is a hallway/ lounge area (+balcony), a dressing room, and a hobby room/ study. There is a spacious & cozy patio in the backyard. I had a lot of fun designing this dollhouse.

ENTRY DETAILS: I decided to make a Victorian doll house. When I was a kid I loved to play with Barbie dolls and could have only dreamed of having a Barbie Doll House like this one. So that was my inspiration. I added 5 accessory packages that parents can purchase separately (or Santa can give the children next Christmas) Ken's Garage & Man Cave, the Pool Party Pack, Dance Party kit, Outdoor Dining expansion, and The Pretty Playground package.

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: Sure!
