Building Permit?

I also did a homeless challenge a while back. I didn't use any mods, instead I used the money cheat to reduce the household funds and have my sims pay for the building permit that way.

@Atreya33 I get that, and it makes sense, but what I don't understand is how I get one of those permits. Up until now I've just built stuff right off the bat. Is it done through the phone somewhere I've missed, or a computer?

I followed the version at modthesims.info and in those rules it specifically says to use the money cheat to "buy something specified in this challenge, eg. a new set of clothes" that is why I did not look a mod

As far as I am aware it is more of a self-imposed restriction, a make belief permit. You as the player decide if and when the permit is granted. That is how I treated this rule anyway. If there is a mod to actually add a building permit then I am unaware of it.

@Atreya33 Ah, so the permit is purely make believe, then. Thanks, I was getting frustrated over this. xD I think I'll just cheat the money away and just move in somewhere when my sim has managed to scrape together enough to do so, and have at least 5k as mentioned in the rules. :)
