Welcome to the first ever UYS Maxis Makeover Building/Decorating Challenge! First and foremost we'd like everyone participating to have fun. This is in no way a competition riddled with rules or deadlines, but a way for our members to come together and share the love of building and decorating.
Please note that although this is a bimonthly challenge you will not need to finish before the next one begins. Threads will remain open for anyone to participate at any time, allowing new or returning members to get in on the fun if they're arriving a bit late. Let's be honest, life is a bitch and tends to get in the way!
Every challenge will feature one lot from each Sims game. Some months will feature residential while others will have community. If it is determined that participants all have the same EP perhaps we will do vacation destination, downtown lot, etc.
You do not have to do all three game challenges if you have them installed!The goal is to take a dud and make it snazzy. Change or remove roof types. Tear out interior walls and readjust layouts. Throw in your favorite windows and doors, replace gross wallpaper with modern panels and trade that nasty floral couch in for a sexy leather sofa. Think of it as an empty canvas, for the most part! You've got an endless pile of money so why not make it everything you've ever wanted?
There are some, yes. We want to have as little as possible so not to stunt your creativity!
Plus we're lazy and don't want to enforce them.Challenge Rules- HAVE FUN!
- Exterior walls must remain the same shape.
- Community lots cannot change type.
We only ask that the outside of the chosen building maintain it's shape, otherwise you're completely demolishing the place and it no longer holds resemblance to the original. Community lots are to be redesigned with their original purpose in mind: a coffee shop must remain a coffee shop.
You may use any wall coverings, windows/doors, roofing, etc you want. There are no CC restrictions- use as much or as little as you'd like!
Note: I forgot to say there could be no room additions to the houses so this month we'll allow it! I'd also like to point out that you can remove porches, shrink or enlarge them, and in the case of Cormorant you may edit the support columns made of walls below the house if you moved the walkway. As long as you aren't changing the main wall shape it's all good!
That aside, the only other rule is that you must post in the challenge thread.
Standard posting rules apply.
Your September 2015 challenge lots are all base game residential homes. Make the occupants as poor or wealthy as you'd like! Downloads are available on the off chance you've already madeover or bulldozed these lots.

This month I'd like to change things up a little bit using community lots. Rather than voting on the challenge buildings I'm going to put up a choice of two per game. You can do one or both... whatever you choose!
