So this build is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house is perfect for a newly wed couple or a budding family looking for their forever home. The house also features a conservatory which can be converted into a bedroom if need-be. I was inspired by this floorplan and also threw my own twist on it. The house is §73,378 and is fully furnished.

So this build is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom house; for your Sims just starting out. The house also a driveway for your Sims’ car. It’s simple, affordable, and full of charm—just what a small household needs to begin their story. The house is §19,840 and is lightly furnished.

It's taken me a lil while to get this up and I do apologise. For some reason 2024 isn't giving me a break at the moment. My living situation is up in the air (again) so that's my priority right now, just hoping it'll all be ok. So that's why posts, etc. are a bit slower because I'm playing more for escapism than to be creative at the moment, however I do have 4 houses on the back burner, just need to upload them and write the posts!

You also may have noticed a name change, I decided that it was time for a little change so here we are, new name and new profile picture (my little simself). If you want to watch the speed-build of the house, you can watch it on my YouTube here!

NOTE: This house has a fair amount of custom content, just be aware when downloading. I'm hoping your computer can handle it since mine is basically a modern-day potato and can so fingers crossed

I am not claiming to own any custom content used in this build, all rights go to their respective creators.

And finally, the glorious download button!

Credits go to Snooty and their original challenge rules from 2012 as this is what my rules are based around. I am not sure whether anybody else has rewritten the challenge with their own rules. I just wanted to make it more challenging for me. This is also my first time ever writing challenge rules so bare with me if they are...sub-par.

Rules

* - See alterations to this rule in optional rules below

Create an Adult Sim and place them in any neighbourhood you’d like!

This Sim is not allowed to have attended university or cheated a degree with Bat-Box or other mods, hacks or cheats.

Feel free to customise your Sim to your liking! The only limitation is that they MUST be a Fortune Sim.

Once you’ve created your Sim, move them into any sized empty lot you’d like and do not build anything.

Open Random.org and generate a random number from 1-500. The result will be the amount of money your Sim starts with.

Change your Sim’s money to the random number generated using the FamilyFunds cheat.

Once you have done the initial FamilyFunds adjustment, you may not use any other cheats throughout the challenge*.

You are only allowed to choose your Sim’s Lifetime Want when you first move in, after you’ve selected their Lifetime Want, you are not allowed to change it*.

You are not allowed to keep Mr. Humble’s computer if you have FreeTime installed.

You are free to get a job using the newspaper*.

Once the money starts coming in, feel free to begin building, furnishing and upgrading.

You are NOT permitted to move lots until you have completed the challenge*.

Use of Aspiration Rewards are permitted however they MUST be earned fairly*.

You are not allowed to move anybody in or get married until you have reached Level 10 of your career*.

At the beginning of the Challenge you can visit 4 community lots. A coffee shop/café, a public pool, a park and a clothing store.

Once you have reached level 5 of your career, you are allowed to buy your first car and you are now allowed to visit any other community lot in the neighbourhood*.

Once you have purchased your car, you are allowed to visit downtown AFTER you have had a car alarm installed.

Dating is permitted however no marriage or moving Sims in or out until you have reached Level 10 of your career*.

Digging for treasure, freestyling for tips, bartending, painting, DJ-ing, writing novels and being a barista to earn money is permitted. The use of BBQs on community lots are allowed, and purchasing or ‘stealing’ food from restaurants is allowed.

You are NOT allowed to own a home business until you have reached Level 10 of your career*.

Once you have reached Level 10 of your career, congratulations! You have completed the challenge! You can start a business, travel freely, get married, and move in or out as you wish*!

Optional Rules:

If you want to make this challenge slightly harder, here are some optional rules you can implement!

When building, there is an additional fee of 300 per wall (not individual wall tile). You are permitted to use FamilyFunds to deduct this from your sim. If you have Monique’s computer then feel free to use the ‘donate to charity’ function instead. (overrides rule 7 and 11)

Your Sim’s Lifetime Want must be career orientated. (Overrides rule 8)

When searching for a job, you are allowed to take any jobs available, however only the job related to your Sim’s Lifetime Want will count towards Career-Level related unlocks. E.g. If you sim works in the Law career and reaches Level 5 but their Lifetime Want is to reach the top of the Medicine career, you are NOT allowed to buy a car or visit any lots other than the 4 originally stated. (Overrides rules 8, 10, 14, 16, 18, 20 and 21. MUST be used in conjunction with optional rule 2)

You cannot use any Aspiration Rewards or Benefits that increase the rate of skill gain. E.g. Making your Sim have the Knowledge Aspiration as their Secondary Aspiration and unlocking ‘Eureka!’. (Overrides rule 13)

You are permitted to become pregnant with any romantic interests your Sim may have, however if you have Monique’s Child Support mod, then you must deduct any money given to you by the other parent. You can use FamilyFunds or the ‘donate to charity’ function’ from Monique’s Computer. Once your child is born, then you can turn the child support off in the pie menu. (Somewhat overrides rule 18).

I hope that anybody who does the challenge through my rules enjoys! Once again, credit to Snooty for their rules made in 2012. This is not me saying their rules are bad, I just wanted to make my life and my sim's life harder, because I'm just like that!

So, usually I rely on CC, however I am currently in the process of creating a custom hood and I am going all out, ancestor sims, storylines and the whole shebang. This also means I need to create a lot of lots and a lot of sims. I thought I would share this lot as a little sort of "I'm back" post and I also filmed a speed build for this. It's a very basic build so it only took me 25 minutes I think? You can watch the speed build here
