Build a World Challenge Update:

Hey loves!

The B&H update is pretty much done, I just need to finish updating the spreadsheet and upload everything.

Unfortunately, my 4 year old save corrupted and it’s killed my motivation a little bit.

Luckily, I do back up my saves, but hadn’t backed up recently and lost progress for 3 of my households. Yucky.

So stay tuned - I promise an update is coming!

Here’s the fun thing about the B&H update:

ANY unlocked community lot can be purchased and run as a small business! Already placed a cafe? It still counts as a cafe, but one of your sims can purchase and run it!

Want to run a daycare in your sim’s home? If you’ve unlocked daycares, go ahead! Make sure to count it as “built” on your spreadsheet though - you can only open as many daycares as you’ve unlocked.

The only catch to in-home businesses is that they do not count toward your overall community lot goal.

As always, feel free to reach out with any questions. Happy simming!

UPDATED - Build a World Challenge

This masterpiece of a challenge was uploaded to ModtheSims by manicallymottled back in 2021 but has never been updated.

Until now!

From manicallymottled's original post: "This is a huge challenge, meant to last for months or even years. You start with a completely empty save file, and by the end your world is completely full with sims you've made and played with, their houses, and community lots you've built or picked from the gallery.

It can be played with the base game alone, but has rules for all the packs.

The idea is that you use your households to unlock the community lots, which then let you add more households and unlock even more community lots. All the rules are laid out in a detailed Guidebook.

There is also a detailed spreadsheet that you can use to keep track of everything and automatically shows what you've unlocked, which can be found on the Guidebook as well." This challenge is now updated to include all packs up to Lovestruck (except Batuu)!

All feedback is welcome, especially if I missed something, something on the spreadsheet isn't working, or if you have ideas for more community lots.

Enjoy!
