What happened to premade lots ?

I’m so, so glad I’m not the only person that dislikes her. She really plummed me off when she kept calling there occult sims ‘freaks’... and it was just because she could there was literally no need for it. Don’t like occult’s? That’s perfectly fine you don’t have too, but don’t make numerous videos harping in about how much you hate them yet keep making videos about them. Can’t stand her.

She calls everyone a freak including herself, pretty sure it's a running joke at this point and not an actual derogative term.

• Turn premade lots into a fun contest for the community's builders. Provide a rough floor plan, set a limit to how much it will cost to decorate, state that it can only contain base game objects and build items, and then set the community loose! So that non-builders don't feel left out, the team can pick the best homes which fit their criteria and submit them to the community in a blind contest -- no Game Changers, no names.
  

That sounds terribly fun but also really complicated to put in place. How long before release would that contest take place ? Probably before we know the new world architecture or b&b, making it impossible to match the style of the pack.
You'd need to make sure players won't use moveobjects or debug items. It's not just the price, it's the fluidity and practicality of the house. The best builders in the community also tend to build small cosy houses, but while it looks good, I'm assuming there are camera movement guidelines that mandate bigger rooms.

I wish that was a thing though.

Really it is a good idea to show that you shouldn't expect everything "given on a plate." Building houses is part of the game and even if you don't like doing it you should learn. Why should everything be made easy for you? Life isn't like that. You don't expect Fortnite to be like that do you?

Ignoring the terrible analogy, gameplay and setting are two different things. You can use that argument when you're required to add every bush or destroyable building on a map yourself, before being allowed to play a game.
Fortnite Creative is a thing, like building a house in the sims in a thing, but it should be something you want to do, and not something you have to do to enjoy gameplay.
If you can't understand the difference well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
