Trivia[]
• Design Dashes 1 through 3 had easier population requirements than a regular Design Challenge Season. The required population was 1,000 instead of 3,000 and the population for the bonus goal was 7,000 instead of 10,000. Since Design Challenge Leagues were introduced, Design Dash Season 4 now has the same population requirements as the league the player is currently in.
