The Homes in Literature Build Challenge


Welcome to The Homes in Literature Build Challenge! Each Month, a new home from Classic, or even sometimes newer Literature will be featured, for you to recreate, based upon known drawings, descriptions and Blueprints/Floor Plans, where applicable. You will be supplied with links to information, to be able to recreate these homes, to the best of your ability. The links provided will merely be a starting point to launch your creative process and you may, of course, find your own resources along the way.

Some of these homes are and will be based upon real locations. Some will have been recreated in life by enthusiasts. Some will simply have artistic renderings to go on. For those homes, based on true historical structures and for those based upon Artistic renderings, you will be free to recreate the home of the artists style or a specific point in time of your choosing.

    The Homes in Literature Build Challenge #7: Generic Alien World or Futuristic Architectural Build

    With the advent of the new Star Wars pack, I thought we could have some fun with Sci-Fi. The genre is packed with different ideas about what life on other planets, and even the future of this planet will look like.

    Choose one of those visions for your build. You can build a home in the Star Wars Universe, or any number of different settings in the thousands upon thousands of different Sci-Fi novels out there.

    You can even choose some cutting edge architects, that are out there now, who are trying to reshape the world with new types of architecture, that many would consider futuristic, like Vincent Callebaut, in Paris.

    Lot Challenge: Build me a home, set in another world, or a future time on planet Earth.

    Room Challenge: Choose the room you are most proud of in your home, that you feel that really represents the ideals of what you feel the future will hold for mankind, or alienkind.

    Sims Challenge: What does your future family look like, based upon the designs and values you have set forth in your home?

    I look forward to seeing your creations!


    Please use the whole of hashtag #LiteraryBuildChallenge7 when you upload your creations. Any build, room or household without this hashtag will not be considered for Maxis Fave nomination.

    The deadline for this challenge is Saturday, October 17th , 2020 **

    What a lovely challenge! <3 The first one is simply exquisite.

    I think you can´t get a Maxis curate if the house is a recreation though.

    Bookmarked.

    Ah...I should have thought of that. Well, I'll submit anyways. I've seen stranger things happen. lol

    My understanding was that they couldn't feature stuff based on something under copyright, but this is well into public domain. Fingers crossed!

    Either way, we build for the joy of building. I believe you are correct, however. Even still, after many months of looking through blueprints from several different creators online, I can match the new blueprints to more than one build that was curated.

    @Taoron oh Jane Eyre, excellent choice! I read that about once a year....maybe 18 months at a push. And although I’ve never actually visited the house that is supposed to have inspired Thornfield Hall I’m up walking in North Yorkshire quite a lot and have such a clear picture of it in my head! Not sure if I’d have the skill to translate it into S4 though haha.
    Hopefully I can use this challenge to push Assistant Designer to read Little Women.....she’s on the 4th time through Black Beauty in 2 years but the poor Marches have just been sat gathering dust....fingers crossed ?

    I'm 50, and this was my first time. I had lunch with a friend and theater director I admire, the other day and after commenting that I had just read Little Woman, now reading Jane Eyre and then Wuthering Heights, he commented that I'm going through all of the chick classics. LOL Hey...if it's good, it's good. One cannot live on Shakespeare alone.

    It's such a good book and I'm betting that once she starts it, she won't be able to put it down.

    There are a few buildings I was looking at in Jane Eyre, including Gateshead and Lowood. Might be a lot to take on for most folks. I may revisit Little Women again for this, at some point, to do Meg's Dovecote. Heck, we even have the Lawrence home and the Aunt's home. (as the boys home/school) Lots of possibilites.
