"It's A Monstrosity": Sims 4 Player Delivers On "Ugly House" Recreation Challenge
One The Sims 4 player has used the game's robust and versatile house-building engine to recreate an "ugly" house for a challenge. The game focuses on the lives and misadventures of the in-game world's residents, or Sims. However, the title also has a robust house-building system that can be used to make some wild creations. One player has decided to use the capabilities of the game engine to recreate a very odd house.
Yesterday, Redditor Rhiannon1307issued a challenge to all The Sims 4 players, asking them: "I dare you to build this ugly house in the game." The house in question is a three-story hodge-podge of house parts that look like they were stacked on top of one another randomly. The house has corners that stick out at odd angles, and some parts look like they may have been constructed upside-down. Redditor Basic-Investigator87 has risen to the challenge, recreating the odd house in The Sims 4 very accurately.
The Sims 4 Player Nails "Ugly" House Recreation, According To Fans
The Only Negative Feedback Is That The House Looks Too New
Although Basic-Investigator87 says that they're "disappointed" in their attempt, many fans in the comments disagree. The only issue players can find with the remake is that it's a bit too shiny and new compared to the original house. However, Redditor Valieishere can explain this away by considering the medium used to take the picture. They ask the original poster why they're disappointed, jokingly explaining that the screenshot from the in-game version of the house is "literally the same picture but with an iPhone."
Otherwise, the comments agree that the in-game house is an accurate representation of the photo that inspired it. Players praise the Redditor for nailing the feel of the house and getting the details right, noting that it's better than anything they could have come up with. User melocotonta calls it a success, saying, "It’s a monstrosity." Another Redditor, BUTTeredWhiteBread, heaps more praise on the design for being so terrible that it's amazing: "It is awful. I love it. Perfection. Art."
Our Take: The Sims 4 Challenge Should Continue With The Inside
The Creator Should Post It In The Gallery For Others To Design Inside
The only thing left to do with this wonderful "monstrosity" of a house in The Sims 4 is to design the interior. The design is still an empty shell inside, according to its creator, since they weren't sure what to do with the interior. One suggestion is to continue the challenge to the next level, and pass the house on to other players to play around with the interior.
The suggestion was made by andromedaasteriornis, who says the original poster should "Put it on the gallery and make it a shell challenge." The rules of the challenge should be that walls, windows, and doors cannot be moved, to ensure that the original shape of the house remains intact. The Sims is a thriving community that regularly challenges each other, making it even more fun to build and design in-game. There are surely some experts out there who can turn the shell of this "ugly" house into either a similarly strange creation, or into something ironically luxurious.
