foundation swap (idea, not actual contest)

This is an idea for a small group of bored builders.
In a nutshell, make a difficult foundation for others, then build on what they give you.
* Each builder creates a lot that's empty save for a building foundation.
The foundation should be unusual and difficult to build on, but not impossible nor useless.
The idea is to encourage creativity and work outside your comfort zone, not make unusable buildings.
* Each builder gives his or her foundation to the other builders.
* Then everyone tries to build something on each foundation.
Builders may NOT remove any foundation and may NOT add to it.
* Buildings are restricted to a certain theme such as family home, dorm, community lot store, etc.
* If doing this as a contest, all builders vote for the best entry on each foundation.
No voting for your own work.
EAxis House of Phail often requires people to use an existing EA foundation.
This is slightly different in that each builder makes their own in an attempt to confound the others.
The idea is not mine, I'm just posting it. I heard of it when several folks at MTS2 did it for fun.

That sounds like it could be fun. I'm not fussed about voting; it's the building I enjoy and everyone has different tastes anyway. I'd be willing to give it a go if there are interested others.

Yeah, me too! What if everyone who wants to take part posts a foundation, then we can grab whichever's foundation we want to build on?

I would think this would run better if it was like a smaller version of House of Phail. To start, CoEG would post a foundation, and we'd do the best we could with it. The 'best' one is selected by the participants, and that person makes a new foundation for everyone to build on.
A good timeframe would be one week to have all entries in. That way, newcomers can participate without having to wait up to a month before they can get started.

Makes sense to me. In any case, when this starts up, consider me in.

I just posted the idea from MTS2, I don't have any mind bending foundations to contribute right now.
I figured those who wanted to give this a go would get together in small groups and organize by PM or in chat.
Or, as has been suggested above, just post some foundations in this thread, no time limit.

Question: Does the definition of 'foundation' in this sense include decks?
I'm going to assume not, as I didn't include any. If it does, the image and the file will be altered appropriately.
Adelaide Manor - All EPs
Adelaide Manor - BG Only
I'd say more unusual than 'difficult', but it's a good start for me, and most likely will be a good warm-up for people who are more talented than I am.

That looks interesting!
I dunno, if decks are included, they gotta stay, but if they aren't, no matter.
What combo of EP/sSPs have you built that in? It's worth mentioning that Anygamestarter is worth using to get a base game compatible foundation, that way anyone can play.

Ack, made with full EPs/SPs! Sorry if that causes any issues. Will obtain AGS and remake if it's a bother.

Well here's my go at this. Not awesome in any respect but I kind of like it. I may have neglected to put lights in front room, dining room and sitting room, but it's late and I'm tired and going to bed now. I'll add more pictures later.

Damn. I yoinked before reading it was made with all EPs. Any chance you're still interested in posting a Base Compatible version?

I dare you to build something on THIS foundation.
It's a 3x4, so you can recreate it because the grid is visible.

Anyone. Bonus points if it captures the original spirit of the foundation.

Deathtraps? Such as pools with slides and divingboards but no ladders? Kitchens with no sprinklers or fire alarm? Rooms with entrance and no exit? (I know, I know. That requires a CC door). All those things I can do. But to paraphrase Mr. Roth, I can't build a no bath house.

Not only no bathrooms, but no double beds, as Pes hasn't left room for them. Well, no, there are a few places that might be worth trying... gah, now I want to see if I can put useable double beds in it. Oh well, was about to reload the game for testing anyway.

Bed-in-hallway with doors on either side to let them in.
..not that I, you know, ever had to DO something like that.
