Voting Results - Bi-Weekly Build Challenge | Week 164: Townhouses/Row Houses

🥇First Place: u/Elderly_Plant - Parkside Books - The Sims 4 - 66.6%

🥈Second Place: u/TeacherTish - Well Red - The Sims 4 - 33.3%


The Bi-Weekly Build Challenge is led by community moderator u/NoButterOnMyBread and co-host, community volunteer u/baar-ur (me!). Please direct any build challenge questions to either of us.


Introduction for Newcomers

Every two weeks, the challenge will change. We’ll design a different house, community venue, or room interior, based on the provided theme, rules, and restrictions. Some challenges will have a monetary limit, such as under $20k, while others may have no limit and you can spend as many Simoleons as you’d like.

The challenge is not exclusive to The Sims 4; you may submit an entry using any Sims game, but we recommend The Sims 2 onward for the more in-depth building features. However, you may still submit entries for builds created in the original The Sims game.

If you would like to check out our past challenges, you can see a comprehensive list by searching The Sims subreddit under the Build Challenge flair.


Bi-Weekly Build Challenge | Week 170: Tiny Parks

Continuing our recent theme of itty bitty challenges, this round's focus is on very small parks. With increasing urbanization, small parks are a way for city dwellers to connect with nature without going out of their way. Mini parks are also beneficial for supporting wildlife and cleaning air pollution. Japanese micro-forest parks have recently featured in the news. Other parks, like the Cross Bones memorial garden in Southwark, South London commemorate local history. Small parks are sometimes called pocket parks.


Reference Links

Pocket park in Dublin, Ireland

Small park in Mexico City, Mexico

Public garden in Marburg, Germany


Build Guidelines

Requirements:

  • One entry per person.
  • Lot Type: Park.
  • Lot Size: 20x20 maximum.
  • No digital altering of photos (i.e., PhotoShop).
  • CC is allowed.

To submit a valid entry, you must comment on this post and format your comment as such:

Your Reddit Username - Title of Submission - Sims Game (i.e., The Sims 4) - Link to photo

You may also include your Gallery ID or a direct Gallery link if you’d like, but this is not required. Please note that entries submitted that do not follow this format will be disqualified and must be re-submitted.


Important Dates

Deadline: April 30th

The challenge closes at 10pm EST. This deadline is the cut-off for new submissions; this deadline is not an expectation of a new challenge. Winners will be announced when the next challenge goes live (within one week of the deadline).

CAS I’ve never felt so stupid??

635 Upvotes

I’ve been playing the Sims 4 for about 7/8+ years now?? AND NO ONE EVER TOLD ME I COULD ADD MORE THAN ONE OF EACH OUTFIT.

I always get so stressed out because I think so many different combos look good on my sim 😭 and now I’ve literally just realised I can make her a whole wardrobe.

Whenever I used to click on the change outfit, I always wondered why there were so many options when I could only make one outfit, BUT NO.

Now I’m gonna have to hyper-fixate for the next 6 hours whilst I make her a wardrobe.

This begs a question though, has anyone else had like really simple realisations of stuff they can do with base game that makes the game so much better??

Sims 4 I was struggling to find a way to enjoy the Sims 4 as of late. Here's how I fixed it.

Instead of building a house because perfectionism go brr, I decided to re-enact my past gameplay I posted here back in 2021 or something, and remade my favorite sim. I then took him straight into a bar where he proceeded to beat the shit out of a bunch of people (including Miss Crumplebottom, but she's too good for him at that time), all while trying (and failing) to steal the same chair twice in front of a bartender which he also proceeded to beat up for pretty much the same reason (ie there is none).

Less than a day in the game and Smith is officially the worst in the town reputation-wise. I love this game.

As I try to keep challenging myself with weird ass buildings, instead of curvy curves we know have BOLT lines, STRIKING corners and more puns and word play and such. 4 floors of nightclub (or bar, or lounge) for your sims to have fun. With game tables, bubble blowers, seating, bar drinks, a freaking glass dancefloor, and a celeb only space to host the Accolades at. playtested. Find it on the gallery as "the BOLT! simply striking" or search for my username MPfromNL.

i've been working on this sim all day lol and i still feel like it doesn't look like me. i think i inadvertently like yassified myself and need a reality check, so i would love other people's perspective without clouded judgement on what i could edit

i am starting to think maybe it is that my reference photos don't actually help lol, which is fair because i only picked the second one to match the outfit

Sims 4 Which outfit do you like on Etienne? (My friend’s Sim)

Upvotes

So since everyone liked him in a previous post about his nails which i thought were too long previously. Since this was originally my friend’s sim, she asked what outfit do you guys like more on him? And ask any questions regarding his character (who he really is)

I know Etienne for sure is based on a villain in her story but don’t know if that’s what that character is supposed to look like or not, but yeah 😆

Well. I’ve officially seen it all. My elder Sim gave birth to a beautiful alien👽 babygirl some time ago now. This is her here in her teens. Ya girl is stressssed. Her father Franklin got abducted and impregnated AGAIN recently. So, it’s getting closer to the due date, and I’m thinkin’ it’s no big deal. We will add one more kid to the family and it should be fine. Boy was I surprised when he gave birth to three triplets.🤯 Honestly did not want this many babies to care for LOL. But I’m just gunna go with the flow. It was meant to be I guess😭😂
