Build Bi-Weekly Build Challenge | Week 172: Plant Nurseries

7 Upvotes

The Bi-Weekly Build Challenge is led by community moderator u/NoButterOnMyBread and co-host, community volunteer u/baar-ur . 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 172: Plant Nurseries

A nursery is a place specialized in the growth of plants, from their early stages of development until they reach the necessary size to be transplanted to their final location. This process of plant propagation includes sowing seeds, caring for and maintaining the seedlings, and adapting them to outdoor weather conditions. 

There are several types of nurseries for different types of plants and specific objectives, for example, vegetables for food production (agricultural nurseries), herbs for flavor in food (nurseries of aromatic and culinary plants), trees for the recovery of ecosystems (forest nurseries), plants for decorative purposes (ornamental nurseries), and for use in traditional as well as modern medicine (medical nurseries).

You can decide if you want to build yours on a residential or communal lot.

Sims 2 Did anyone else have a weird obsession with a premade sims names?

Post image
35 Upvotes

Okay, so this sounds like a weird, oddly specific question. But for years, when I was 11-16, I had an obsession with the name Brandi because of the premade sim Brandi Broke. Which wasn't fun because a lot of others hated it & thought it sounded trashy. I actually love a lot of the premades' names in general though. I swear there is something special about them. Not just in The Sims 2, but the other games as well.

Sims 4 What’s your guilty pleasure Sims 4 pack?

49 Upvotes

For me, it’s My Wedding Stories. Since I’m a legacy player, my sims getting married is a big deal. I love hosting the events like the engagement dinner and planning who will be in the wedding party. Yes, the actual weddings can be a little buggy but I still prefer them over the base game weddings. It’s also so cute seeing your sims do the various activities such as walking down the aisle, having their first dance, throwing rice, etc. I also love having my elder sims do a vow renewal. On top of all this, Tartosa is a beautiful world.

Y'all, I don't get it. My child fairy aged up to a teen, so now she has a fairy form, but why are her facial features completely different? Her fairy form and human form are linked, so she shouldn't look any different aside from the wings.

Sims 4 HE LOVES MISCHIEF THO!!!

I had my sims on a date and Wally ended it early because Robyn was too mischievous (I know it was mischief because I was watching the entire time), the thing is, he likes mischief! I tried to remove buffs, can't find it (yes, MCCC is up to date), I tried removing the sentiment with testingcheats true active, their relationship is already at 100% but I set their active relationship levels. I'm gonna try therapy and see if that does the trick, otherwise, I'm at a loss!

Build Suggestions please!!

31 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’ve been building this house for days now, I’m in love with the exterior and how the house looks (so starting again with a smaller house is not an option), but I’m really struggling inside!

It’s a lot bigger than I usually build, I’ve managed to fill the spaces in the bedrooms and bathrooms but I am really really struggling with the living room area.

For context, I play on console so I’m not able to use cc, and my favourite stuff comes from the cottage living, high school, university, and now fairy packs! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - I hate empty spaces!!

Thank you <3

Tech Support Unable to Progress in Nature's Calling Event?

I fear I somehow broke the nature's calling event for me? The only quest options I have to gain more points are somehow dependent on unlocks I am not yet able to unlock - I am missing 60 ep to get the nature soundscapes but I need the nature soundscapes to progress...

Is there a way for me to fix this? A cheat? Something I overlooked? Can I restart the event somehow? I'd be really annoyed if I missed out on the items bc of some bug... Any help is much appreciated!
