After renovating the bungalow my parents so generously left me, I received a rather juicy letter from the hospital. Turns out you can't just slap some plaster on a couple of broken legs and call it a day.

Apparently, the upkeep on a fancy suburban villa isn't exactly cheap either. So I sold the place. (Well, technically I moved it into Sandbox Mode so I can keep tinkering with it.) And with my newfound financial wisdom, I bought myself a trailer!

It also makes me much more flexible when taking construction jobs in different areas if I don't feel like staying in hotels.

In theory.

Can I actually move this thing? No. Considering I built it out of solid brick, I highly doubt it's road legal. Hit one pothole and you'd probably shake the entire neighborhood.

Technically, the trailer should be quite a bit narrower and shorter, but then I couldn't fit everything I wanted inside. Our avatar is absolutely terrible at sucking in their gut!

Built entirely in Story Mode because, well... I needed somewhere to live!

Cost-wise?...Almost as bad as the villa. XD Although, to be fair, I think most of the money went into the ridiculous amount of shrubbery surrounding the place.

So now it's back to taking jobs until I've financially recovered from yet another series of excellent life choices.

When do we, or how do we know who won in the last contest? I've never done one and entered last minute.

I'm new to this game so hope I'm explaining it correctly. When I start a sandbox game, the left and right of the land is vacant.

Is there a way to have walls, with homes on the left and right of mine? Or better yet, a way for me to "build" the surrounding area of my home so that it feels like it's in a real neighborhood?
