Ok: since I've already lost this valuable information once to the incompetence of my iPod touch: I shall give you key detail, nothing less.

I though it would be an intersting showcase of what creativity you simmers have: so I thought of something unique: in the mid 20th century a few houses were compiled that showed modernism at it's best. These where called the case study houses.

If you would like: please take whatever parts of these masterworks you find stricking or absolutely amazing and combine them into a building or compound of buildings on one lot.

Please share pictures of your work and possibly an upload link if available. Also, list any of the houses you used and which parts.

Some may also find an experiment along the lines of this interesting: be sure to try it out: http://www.cracked.com/blog/exploring-the-mysteries-of-the-mind-with-the-sims-3/

*viewer discretion advised: there are very many cursing words in the article..
Also, I have personally contacted the author, he apologizes for any mean or offense things he may have said about sims 3. I haven't really looked at it, I saw like two

So, basically we make really creative, or "masterpiece-like" houses, take pictures of them, and then upload them here. So they can be judged? Or did I misunderstand?
I also read the link you provided in your original post, it was funny, but, it was somewhat offensive and irrelevant. You did warn me though, so I'm not complaining.

I remember that article on Cracked. Interesting but not one of their better ones. I don't understand the point of you "interesting experiment" either though.

I technically want to see what people come up with when given a puzzle so to speak: which you can arrange in any way you like.

And no; this is not a challenge, but normally it's nice to see what people do with Wat theyre given.

Yes, it isn't one of the better ones: my personal fave is the one about the badly built aircrafts: that was hilarious...

Just take Watever aspects you find appealing from any of The case study houses and build it into one house

I'm sry I understand I post tooooo much but sometimes, I have a thought after post:

Ok, I put the link there because it's an experiment, and it's related to sims: (also, once again:many hardcore simmers may find the material offensive)
But... I encourage anybody to try the experiment in the Article, your results may be more interesting than the articles

And answering Blakes q: this is not a contest, if it was it would posted in a different section
