This can be answered easily from the General Rules that can be found on: https://pastebin.com/raw/2nnttLKd or on https://www.speedrun.com/ts3/thread/egqr4
You are allowed to do the following:
- You can either, start from a house that comes with the town, or build a house yourself
- Your Sim must be freshly made, you can not say use one from the Exchange or Store etc.
- Seeding of the Neighborhood for Family Friends is allowed
But note that individual categories will have specific rules. Please read those before starting or submitting.
