Place on any 40x30 lot you choose and ensure that the lot type is 'Residential'. If there is already a building on your chosen lot, bulldoze to create an empty lot.

You can move a sim onto the lot if you like for testing purposes or to set lighting colors etc and of course for screenshots, that is entirely up to you in this challenge.
Create your build following the rules.

Post the jpeg screenshots to enter. Please ensure you have converted the screenshots to jpegs as you can imagine it takes MrsFlynn quite some time to convert them all on your behalf and we don't want to continue doing that! How to: Convert photos to jpeg format


Availability
It would be great of everyone's builds were available for download after the challenge has ended. Not a requirement, just an option.

** San Myshuno's Penthouse lots are banned for this challenge due to issues when downloading either a residential lot or room. The foundation is not appear correctly and then have the possibility of causing an error that reads 'incompatible room' when trying to alter or even download, which may make the lot basically unusable. We made the decision to ban San Myshuno rather than run the risk of causing anyone's save file to corrupt!
