Introduction
Welcome to the Weekly Sims Reddit Build Challenge! Lets create a little back story. You’re rich. You have all the money you could ever want. A dream car, an expensive dog, 4 kids, a husband/wife.... but where's your house?
You cant have the best party’s in the neighbourhood or the best place to hang by the pool if you don't have the best house in the town!
Each week the challenge will change, We’ll design a different house or interior of a room and we might even sneak a few Create-A-Sims in to break it up a little.
Some weeks we’ll leave it open like build a small Medieval Castle or a 40x40 Mansion with some inspiration pictures below and some weeks we’ll be more specific like we want you to replicate a specific house from drawing plans but customise it you your own taste.
Certain challenges will have a monetary limit, some will be spend as much as you like/can to impress.
Week 4 - Replicate a Famous House - This week you all voted too replicate a famous house build but it was joint with build a small house so what better house to build then the house from the Disney Film “Up”. See inspiration pics for help.
House needs to replicate the original as close as possible using original content only and NO CC!
I’ve attached a floor plan below so please make it as accurate as possible.
AGAIN, NO CC FOR THIS BUILD!!!

Preface
Sims 4 Build New Crest Challenge
Hello Simmers! The good people of the Simception Discord have thought up a challenge to build up the entire neighborhood of The Sims 4 Newcrest. We're challenging each and every one to contribute, by building up the different lots. To add some extra spice to the mix, we'll be doing it according to different themes. Creating our own storied little worlds in the process.
If the challenge is a success, we'll feature and bundle our favorite creations, and rotate to a new theme. This way we'll end up with great storytelling vehicles, keeping the Sims 4 fresh and interesting for everyone.
The Theme
For our first theme we are going with 'Magical Kingdom'. It's a theme that evokes all sorts of thoughts, from fairy tales to role playing realms. This theme was chosen, because it's probably the furthest from anything you would build, if you just built according to function. Ornaments, physics defying builds, magical locations, grim lairs, and fantastical little dwellings. The list of possibilities is endless.
Introduction
First off, as a general rule, we're shooting for the low range to high-mid range of builds. This is deliberate, because we don’t want it to turn into a pissing contest of who crams the most into a lot. Otherwise - depending on theme - we might just get a bunch of castles, hilltop mansions and the like. We want to encourage diversity and resourcefulness. Lot size should probably be a pretty good guideline as to your budget.
Other than this, by all means go crazy. The first theme especially will give you an opportunity to play with physics and proportion like you never have before. However, to keep this challenge as accessible as possible, we ask you not to use any custom content. Everything from stuff packs to expansions is fair game.
Lot types
On to lot types. As you can see on the map http://i.imgur.com/tHXlY7O.jpg, I've color coded and numbered the lots. To keep a level of consistency as long as this challenge runs, the lot type is predetermined. This won’t affect anyone placing builds in their personal game, but for the challenge will ensure we have a good variety of builds.
To give a little more explanation on the different lot types:
Q:'Some of the lot types fit multiple options. A nightclub for example is equal parts recreation and profit. Some landmarks are exploited as tourist spots, restaurants etc.'
A: This grey area is deliberate. We didn't want to limit people too much. Just try to practice a little 'common sense', making sure that the lot's primary purpose takes priority.
Which lot do I build?
This challenge started out as an initiative of the Simception Discord (Feel free to join https://discord.gg/wKWPGq), and so we thought it fun to challenge ourselves by raffling out the lots among ourselves. This way we would ensure one fully built up neighborhood. By randomizing it we get people out of their comfort zones and add that little bit of challenge.
In the spirit of the challenge, I ask everyone to do the same! You can use any number generator on the web to have luck decide your lot, such as http://numbergenerator.org/randomnumberbetween1and15 . If you feel especially inspired to build up a particular lot, or simply don't like the random aspect of it, you're free to build whatever you like and contribute, of course.
In addition, everyone is free to contribute as often as they want. It is not a contest, it's a challenge.
Q:'I don't like building at all, get away from me. I enjoy making Sims!'
A: A neighborhood would be nothing without its residents. If you don't want to build or if you just enjoy making Sims for a particular theme, you are absolutely welcome to contribute in that way. However, just like with the builds, we ask you to keep the peacocking and power play to a minimum. Not every Sim has to be a king/queen, tormented anti-hero or special snowflake.
So, you've built an amazing lot, what now?
To keep the challenge as accessible as possible, allow us to curate the builds ourselves and be able to feature and bundle them; challenge contributions will be done outside the gallery. You can use one of many upload services such as TinyUpload to put your builds online and available, posting them afterwards. Don’t forget to include screenshots of your build as well! Of course you're still free to upload your creations to the gallery, but the challenge will be run 'offline'.
If you need any help locating the specific files of your build, there is a tray importer utility to make it easier.
