Hello and welcome to the EA Build Restrictions Challenge!

We all know that EA has some mysterious restrictions that they’ve placed on the team that builds the houses they ship with the Sims. And while they’ve been reluctant to share their rules, they HAVE given us nearly 100 lots that follow those restrictions. 

THEREFORE, by counting items and types-of-items used, we can guess with a fair degree of accuracy what the rules are! And lucky for you, I’ve done the counting!

You can find my spreadsheet of item types, lots, and prices here. 

With this data, you can get as granular as you want with the rules, but frankly, this challenge is tough as nails so I’d recommend going broader first.

And, just to get started, I’ve typed up some basic starter challenges. For the sake of these challenges, “items” implies anything that is placed individually. This includes windows, doors, and columns, as well as landscaping and all furnishing. The prices do not include the lot.

Perfectly Average EA Build

30x20 lot

88 882 Simoleons

198 Items

Perfectly Average EA Starter

20x20 OR 30x20 lot

16 286 Simoleons

66 Items

Perfectly Average EA Family Home

30x20 lot

54 032 Simoleons

180 Items

Perfectly Average EA Mansion

40x30 lot

119 662 Simoleons

258 Items

Perfectly Average EA Ultra-Rich

50x40 lot

233 004 Simoleons

405 Items

Go forth and build lots that can be played on any potato computer! Challenge your build skills!

The above house is a Perfectly Average EA Starter, being only 4 simoleons off of the target, and it can be found on my gallery at StarrySkySimmer.

This is my build for yellow_plumbob's 'Bundel Build Challenge'. I had to pick 3 packs and make something out of it. I chose 'Get to Work', 'City Living' and 'Stranger Ville' to make this industrial build for a single sim. I used my CC free movie posters in this build. I feel like they work well here.  Download it here. (You must be logged in)

Cottage Living Build Challenge

A single-bedroom, single-bathroom cottage on the island in Windenburg for an outdoorsy, pet-owning Sim who prefers to be outside the house instead of inside. My entry into the build challenge that @maxismatchccworld is hosting! Check out more info on that here (it’s open until the 25th!). Make sure to use MOO before placing, if you place it -- you don't have to, it's only so-so.

Sims in search of some peace and quiet will appreciate the location of this large cabin home. Steps from water and hiking paths, nature-loving sims will feel quite at home. Sims can play a friendly horseshoe game, sit by the firepit, or search for frogs in the pond.

[monika-mullins]

I submitted my 1st #Sims4 build challenge. I really dislike build challenges because they encourage speed build videos which are my biggest pet peeve. Any how I just got the bowling stuff pack so I figured I would be building a bowling alley anyway so why not. #sims #buildchallenge #bowledover #bowlingalley

Our first Build Challenge is between MegaBoy and MegaSonic and they're building Castles. Please vote for who you think did the best castle out of the two. We'll announce the winner in the next Build Challenge.  (via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqSEvcLX3D8)
