I don't know why but I'm not enjoying this one very much. Maybe because I'm starting out with a roof over my head, it seems so weird to me compared to the other challenges. I know I could have started with the $0 one but i really doubt I could have won the challenge playing it that way. I think it would have helped to just build a smaller living space first and then expanded out as they had kids and got more money. The house just feels too big and empty right now.

I love your ideas and am grateful for this challenge @Vihisha and please don't take it as an insult but this one just isn't growing on me...maybe I'm just not going about it the right way or it'll get better once they start having kids.

If you want to start out small and build as you go then why don't you do that? You can even build a tiny starter house in one corner of the lot and build your mansion alongside it. Don't allow anyone to move in until it is done...OR you can also just live in the little house and wait till you have the cash and then build the big one to complete the aspiration. Lots of people do the challenge that way in "one room challenge" because things depreciate so in all reality it is better to just save the money and spend it all at once.

OR you can not allow your Sims to build anything until they have at least 150k or something. Make your own restrictions. Just because you have money doesn't mean you have to let them spend it. Anyway, just throwing some stuff out there to try for you so maybe you can enjoy it more.

I love building so I couldn't wait to start but I realize that is not everyone's cup of tea. Some like being poor always at first so make your Sims EARN the 75K...you know like do penance for it. LOL..Buy them a camping set and make them live off the land until they have 350K, then build your mansion all at once...another option.

Hope you find a way to enjoy this challenge. :) Oh and another option: There are like tons and tons of shells out there to download and decorate if building is not something you want to do. Just search #unfurnished. You could put one you really like in your gallery and wait until your Sims have earned it to buy it...You can always give them the 75k at the very end of the challenge...no rules saying you HAVE to give it to them right away. There is just the option to start off with it if you want.

Anyway, just trying to help. I like to see people having fun. Hope something works for you. Happy Simming. :)
