Architect feature

Architect feature was a new game feature added to The Sims FreePlay in 2016. After completing the Extreme Home Takeover quest, players will be able to build their own style of houses and submit them for other players worldwide to build.

What to do
In order to get this feature to show for you, you must first complete the discovery quest Extreme Home Takeover by finding the Real Estate Agent Sim in the Park. Then you need to send one of your Sims to work as a Real Estate Agent in order for the architect sign to show in front of one of your home lots.

If you would like to submit your own design, then choose an empty home lot (if you do not have any empty lots and would still like to send in a design, then you would need to demolish one of your houses!) After picking an empty lot, build your design (it must include furnishings, decorations, wallpapers and floors of your choice).

When you have finished your build, click on the sign in front of the house and you will see a green button labelled 'Submit'. Tapping on this option brings you to a pop-up with a terms of service page; if you agree to all of it, then tap the 'Yes' button. Then your design will be submitted.

A pop up will then appear with the following: Your house has been submitted successfully to the Sims FreePlay team.

Then you will have to wait patiently to see if your design has been chosen. If your design has been chosen and shown in the Architect Homes tab, you will not get a notification or any rewards.

Every time the game updates, if you tap on an empty lot, the Architect Homes tab will disappear for a certain amount of time. After it returns, you will see a list of designs other players have submitted. There are usually between five and ten houses featured for either the Standard and Premium lots, costing between one million to two million Simoleons and sometimes LPs and SPs.

Since the Downtown High update, you can now submit your own designs for Penthouses and Houseboats, although compared to Premium and Standard lots, there will only be one Houseboat and four Penthouses available per update.

Exclusive items
Some players who submit their houses for others to build usually include items they have won from hobby and Live events, especially limited time prizes costing LPs and SPs which some players are unable to afford or players who are new to the game are unable to obtain until those events return.

Updates
After the Downtown High update, there will now be a pop up to show players that new houses are available in the tab.
