Cozy Celebrations: A Sims 4 Story
Cozy Celebrations Part 3: A Sweet Memory The next morning, Jasmine returns. As Lucifer opens the door to greet her, there is a holiday welcome mat in front of the door. Another gift from Jasmine. Jasmine tells Lucifer he should spend some time with someone he feels connected with. Since his last adventure, Lucifer feels like he has something special with Kai, the one he was able to help come back to the living. Kai was forever grateful as he had a family he could return to. A family that Lucifer has not even met yet. He remembered Kai stated he had a son, so Lucifer thinks surprising him with some chocolate chip cookies would be perfect. Kai and his family live in Ravenwood. It’s been a bit chilly out lately, so Lucifer decides to try on his new jacket he recently bought. It definitely keeps him warm. Luckily for Lucifer, it’s not snowing and there is no snow in Ravenwood. It is a bit nippy outside. Lucifer is happy to finally see where Kai lives. Kai introduces his family. His son, Takama, likes to dress up like a crow. The chocolate chip cookies Lucifer had made seems to be a big hit, especially with Takama. For the adults, Lucifer mixes up an alcoholic drink called a Coquito. Kai offers Lucifer his bar to provide in making the drink. Kai invites Lucifer to watch some television with the family. The news was displaying outdoor winter activities families enjoy doing. Something for Lucifer to jot down for when Jasmine next visits him. As he is about to leave, Lucifer is given a wreath from Kai and his family as a gift for not only bringing Kai back to life, but also as gesture of hospitality for being in the holiday spirit. Lucifer didn’t want to let Kai know he has a wreath already. Instead, Lucifer decides to place it on the other side of the door of his home. Two wreathes fit the holiday mood.

I created my version of the Addams Family and #1 Cemetery Lane. Gomez and Morticia. Wednesday and Pugsley. Grandmama. Lurch. Fester and Cousin It. I made Cousin It a child to get his size but because he needed to be related, I made him the son of Fester. Now he is Wednesday's and Pugsley's cousin. Having no long hair, I made him a shy kid that only wears a brown ghost costume. I think it fits fairly well. The house is huge and has 7 bedrooms and 5 baths. The first floor has the grand entry which leads directly into the ball room on the rear of the house. A big green house. There's a study for Gomez with a library with a hidden door that leads to a staircase that goes down to a platform above a swampy bog that Gomez must walk through to get to the Vault Room where the family treasures are kept. In the opening to the dining room, you find the homage to the moose above the fireplace from the TV show. The front half of a brown llama hung on the wall staring across the opening to the rear half hung on the wall. Off the dining room is the conservatory where Morticia sits and feeds Cleopatra the cowplant. Upstairs, above the dining room and kitchen is the Master Suite that leads out to a terrace above the conservatory. The bedrooms for Fester, Grandmama and Cousin It are to the left. Wednesday and Pugsley sleep in attic bedrooms. Also in the attic, is where Grandmama reads cards and tells fortunes. To the rear of the lot is a big swimming pool and on the left side of the lot is the family cemetery where they play Wake the Dead. Big iron gates deter any unwanted visitors to the house. I used the candy bowl from SPOOKY PACK because one of the animations is a hand that pops up. So, I placed several around the house to act as Thing.

I created the Venture Brothers from the Adult Swim cartoon. I used the Spencer-Kim house as a base. I updated the kitchen, added a pool and some kid stuff like the tree house. I also added the EXOTIC WATER GARDEN that came with GET FAMOUS. Also, the big telescope and a rocket ship. I built a lab in the basement with the science equipment. Rusty works at the hidden lab so he can also experiment at home. Brock is a secret agent. In the lab there are two giant test tubes from GET TO WORK. I placed a mannequin boy in each floating in the bubbles. There is also, in the same spot, a party light that has lasers that fly around and create shapes. In BUILD, move the tubes. In LIVE, turn on the lights. In BUILD, move the tubes back in place. (moveobjects on cheat needed) This will create a cool effect that the clones (the boys are accident prone, so Rusty keeps a spare set) are being created. There is also a flight room to track the rocket and a small gaming area. If you are a Venture Brothers fan, you can find both the family and the compound here: #dannydanbo58, #venturedannyboy582 days agoSeasoned Newcomer19Views1like0CommentsLestat and Estate
I created my version of Lestat, Louie, Armand, Claudia and Daniel Molloy (still a mortal) 2024. Claudia is a teen vamp so going to and from school can be iffy. I converted the Old Ravenwood Estate to fit them by reworking that huge bathroom on the first floor into a study where they all seem to gather. I removed the "broken" floor decals but left all the other wear and tear. I changed a thing or two here and there like rearranging the master as to add two coffins, I also added a coffin into each of the other two bedrooms for Claudia and Armand. Daniel is in the old coffin room. I added a bed instead and knocked out the wall between the coffin room and the baby's' old room so Daniel could have a private place to write. I added a karaoke machine (the big one) to the front room so Lestat could practice his singing. The others come to listen and dance. When Lestat and Louis climb into the coffin to woohoo, it looks so much like the show. I created their vampire "face" so that when they change, the clothes stay the same and just the face becomes a vampire. I thought that Lestat wouldn't care what he was wearing to feed so, any "hunting suit" was out. With the GET FAMOUS pack, you get costumes. One of the costumes is a French Emperor outfit in four color variations complete with wig. As their PARTY outfit, I gave the boy vamps one of those (Lestat baby blue, Louie in red, Armand in black and Claudia in the female gown version in pink). All of Claudias clothes are pink and youthful to help with the idea that she is still a teen and not a grown up.

I decided to play a Movin’ On Up Legacy Challenge and I'm at a point where I don't know whether to continue or change direction. My founder, their spouse and infant were in apartment number three (with the Gremlins lot trait) when the founder died of electrocution, after a gremlin blitz broke everything in the apartment. This obviously could have been avoided, but as there was only one electrical item left that needed repairing, I (foolishly) took the risk. Anyway, moved into apartment number four and the spouse has now died of laughter whilst joking around with his toddler son. Again this probably could have been avoided, but I left them to it and the result is that both parents are now dead. The heir has been adopted, so I guess I could continue with their new parent moving into the apartment. (Not sure how this fits into the rules?) However I've yet to play the contents of the new life and death pack and I'm wondering if I should get the two ghosts together and play with that? Thoughts?PhilxSims2 days agoRising Scout45Views2likes5CommentsCantrell: The Early Years, Part Four
IDIC, a Cantrell: The Early Years, Part Four Update Brianna gazed out of the viewport, feeling the thrum of the engine beneath her booted feet. “It’s so dark,” she said as the space skiff landed ever so smoothly on the pad on the top of Mount Seleya, a knife gliding over butter. The only light, small circular lights set into the sand outlining the landing pad. “Midnight,” Joseph Cantrell confirmed. “It’s essential nobody knows who you are, in order for the test to be valid. For now, you are strictly the Candidate.” “Well, that’s not in the least bit impersonal. I do suppose it’s better than being known as the Anomaly, though.” As she watched out of the viewport, she noticed dark figures, barely seen, lining up in two rows, forming a corridor, of sorts. “I’m sorry, honey. This entire road for you has been a hard one. I’m certain once this test is over things will become easier.” “Easier? Daddy, you do know I’ve been accepted into the Starfleet Academy. It’s okay, I don’t expect easy. I’m unsure what God’s plans are for me, but there is a reason for all of this.” Joseph smiled at his daughter, draping an arm over her shoulders. “Come, it’s time to debark.” Before taking the ramp Brianna pulled the headpiece, which looked very much like a Mediaeval hood, over her head. The headdress completely swathed her head, much like ones worn before a hanging, her bundled blonde hair also concealed. Joseph took her by the elbow to guide her down the ramp. The short line of dark figures moved toward them, a light wind rippling the hems of their floor-length black robes. They were greeted by members of the High Council and Clergy. Joseph held his hand up in the Vulcan, split finger greeting, bowing his head in respect, glad and more at ease to see Ambassador Sarek and his consort, Amanda, was among the welcoming party. “We shall take it from here,” T’Pran said, as she greeted father and daughter. She took Brianna’s arm, escorting her up to the chamber in the High Tower. The stairs wound ever upward. The coolness of the interior was refreshing. Finally, they reached the top. Brianna could hear the heavy door squeal on its hinges as her former Governess opened the door. Leading the teen inside the doorway, T’Pran guided her over to a chair. “You may wish to take a seat. Things won’t be underway for an hour or so.” Watching for only a moment as Brianna found the arms on the chair to guide herself into the seat, T’Pran lit the incense in the molten rock carving on the Dias. The sweet, woody fragrance soon infused the room. Brianna had quite forgotten how calming it was. After a short time, T’Pran spoke, “You may remove the hood for now. It is time for you to change into appropriate clothing,” she said, opening a wardrobe and taking out a long, silken, white gown. “This should fit you well.” With a quick gesture, she bid Brianna come to her. Dutifully, the teenager walked across the ancient stone flooring to the corner of the large room. Sweeping the hair out of her face as she removed the hood. Quickly, she changed out of her pants and top, folding them as she removed them. Carefully, pulling the garment on over her head. Turning to face the ancient floor mirror, she watched as T’Pran then assisted with the ornate head-covering. Once the girl was properly outfitted, T’Pran sat in a chair in the corner of the room. Brianna’s emotions were more than palpable, to her dismay. Outright fear the strongest of them all. "If I fail," the girl began. "Thee hast demonstrated thy ability many times," T'Pran assured her. "Thee shalt not fail." Brianna chewed on her lower lip, her worries not so easily assuaged. Having been dubbed the Anomaly. Today would be the proof of that status. "But" she protested and was sharply cut off by a look from her governess as the Vulcan woman slowly blinked her eyes in warning. "Thee hast time in which to still thyself," T'Pran suggested evenly, holding her open hand out gesturing to the molten rock carving resting on a raised dais in the corner of the room. Incense billowed forth from it, inviting tranquility of mind. Dropping her gaze respectfully, Brianna nodded. "I beg forgiveness for my emotional display," the girl solemnly replied. She did not move until T'Pran left the small chamber, nor attend to her meditation right away preferring to gaze out of the high, tower window, momentarily losing herself in the activity in the courtyard below, seen now as the sun lazily rose. Vulcans, dressed in formal garb of ornately decorated headdresses signifying their individual Houses and long, flowing dark robes denoting their station, am-bled about the cracked, parched grounds forming small groups. Soon they would be lining up to begin the procession. Brianna felt her stomach twist itself into knots. In her nearly seventeen Earth years, she had never experienced excitement, nor anxiety, quite like this. Her telepathic powers alone were not requirement enough, she had come to realize; An even, controlled temperament, brought about through training, was essential. At the moment, however, Brianna certainly had her doubts about that, her mind swimming, drowning in a tide of emotion. Where was her control, just now? Strangely, she had been rather anxious all week, brushing it off as anticipation, yet it was more than mere nerves, she felt . . . Brianna drew in a deep, calming breath, attempting once again to gain control over herself. In this frenzied state it would only be too easy to give into the tumult inside of her, choking off the flow of her psychic signal, in turn rendering her quite blind, metaphysically speaking. She feared she would fail if she couldn't get herself back under control, bringing dishonor not only to herself and her family, but to T'Pran as well; such a failure lending itself to the notion she was merely mocking the ways of the Vulcan people, as some had purported. It was a thought she could not bear. Training in theVulcan Way for Brianna had been particularly grueling, a regular war of wills; hers against T'Pran's. The governess sought to harness the power of the child's mind, indeed her very soul, forcing Brianna to be more Vulcan in nature, at times, than the human she was. It had been an arduous task taking them both on a fifteen-and-a-half-year odyssey against a backdrop of mockery and bias. Brianna had proved to be incredibly human; stubborn, willful, impulsive. There were those, not a few of them Ruling House members, who contended a human could never achieve theDiscipline. Some even suggested T'Pran must be senile to consider it, and some who felt Outworlders should be kept apart from things Vulcan. These were known as purists, afraid all the contact with other planets and cultures would eventually strip Vulcan of its own culture, or at the very least dilute it beyond recognition, as if they hadn't fully accepted the tenants of IDIC. Despite these protests, and after more tears, ranting and anguish on Brianna’s part, the journey was at last at an end. T'Pran had slowly won out, teaching the girl at first to refrain from doing that which came so very easily to her and then how to control it. Today, fully schooled if not a bit anxious, Brianna Cantrell stood ready for the Test. The K'Matra, her Rite of Passage. It would be threefold in nature. First, she would be judged by how well she could shield her thoughts from others. Secondly, by her ability to mindmeld, being asked to form a mental-linking with another where they would literally become one mind able to feel each other's thoughts. The third test was shrouded in mystery, the conditions of which having been carefully shielded from her, set up covertly by the Vulcan Council of Elders. It was this test she feared the most, being judged in secret; not knowing what was expected of her. Author's Note: This is an adaptation from my published work, Night Whispers.

Hi all I'm seeking assistance in furnishing a six-unit modern apartment block in my game. While I'm pleased with the shell I've created, I'm feeling burned out already, and haven't started decorating each individual apartment yet. I thought it would be a fun idea to involve community members in helping to furnish each rental unit, and I’d also appreciate anyone who could assist with landscaping the backyard. Each unit consists of 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, along with a small 3x2 balcony area. All units have the same size and floorplan, and they all require furnishing and decorating. I've added closets and doors that I would like to keep for uniformity, but you have complete freedom with the rest of the design (just please do not change the floorplan). This is a fun opportunity for anyone who wants to help me out, as my skill in The Sims is mostly limited to starting games in pre-made builds. Building and buying isn't really my forte. I play rotationally, so you’re welcome to create a backstory and family to live in the flat, though that's optional. Additionally, feel free to add a lot traits and challenges to the unit you work on if you’d like! I have all expansion packs, game packs, stuff packs, and kits, so there are no restrictions in that regard. If you're interested in helping out, please let me know, and I can send my gallery ID via private message! I am eager to assign individual designs for each unit, so I will be offering one unit per interested person on a first-come, first-served basis. Additionally, if anyone is interested in helping with the backyard landscaping or communal areas, please let me know! I'm really excisted to see all your designs come to life in this build!geordiesimmer883 days agoSeasoned Newcomer32Views2likes1CommentShow me your aliens!

My name is Mirana. Last name doesn't matter. It will change a few times. "Many" might be optimistic. I might get tired of the whole rebirth thing and opt for moving on. I started as an overweight elder with gray-brown hair and glasses. I acquired a cat, Enigma, and moved into Moppy Manor in Ravenwood. There I set to work writing my third bestseller. At the same time I worked on my bucket list, improving my photography skill and eventually taking a few pictures in Willow Creek and Oasis Springs. But my old life wasn't very interesting. Once I completed my Soul's Journey, there wasn't much to do except wait for death. I picked up a few tarot cards, explored the crypts, and even tried being a ghost. While waiting for Grim, I picked out the family would be reborn to. I had met Geoffrey Landgraab a few times and found out that he was family-oriented and good -- excellent traits for a future parent. I checked out his house while taking pictures and observed that it was spacious. A bit modern for my taste, but there would be enough money to change that, I hoped. So I made him my heir and the guardian of Enigma.MVWdeZT4 days agoRising Hotshot65Views1like6CommentsThe Whittaker Saga: 1950s - The steady pace of life (16/12)
I was vastly inspired when reading the decades challenge, and as a history teacher, I could not stop myself from giving it a try. Of course, true to my nature or refusing to do things by the book, the first thing I did was break the rules. How? By creating as my protagonist a single, working woman living on her own! Gasp! Why? Partly because a story popped into my head, but also, partly, to honor the many women who - by choice or necessity - actually worked, and worked hard for their living in the 1890s. We tend to forget them, but the working women were there - from the hard working farmers that we often downgrade by calling wives, as if they weren't an essential part of the economy of the farm, to the working class women working as domestic help or in the factories where they were only payed half of a man's wages. So with that, I introduce Abigail Spencer, a single, working, middle class woman in 1890s Willow Creek: As middle class there is only a few jobs available to Abigail, that of governess or that of teacher. Abigail is therefore a teacher, teaching at Willow Creek Elementary School. She lives right next door to the school, in a small shotgun house with a few chickens and a patch of land to help her make ends meet (teachers really were not payed a lot during this time either). Obviously, her biggest goal in life is to find a husband, get married and start a family so that she won't have to work. (In fact, a teacher, as well as many other working women, automatically lost their job if they got married during this time.) But to get married, she needs to find a husband. Meet Willow Creek's eligible bachelors: Matthew Godeau: Matthew is one of the richest men in Willow Creek. A bit too old to still be a bachelor he lives with his widowed mother in Ophelia house (yes, eventually this family changed their names and became the Goths. Ophelia house is named from Matthew's mother). Pro: Matthew is creative, just like Abigail, as well as a romantic and would be sure to bestow lots of attention on a wife. He lives in one of the biggest houses in town, and is a wealthy business man. Abigail would have a good life with him. Con: His mother. Ophelia is a woman set in her own ways and she is not about to let some silly girl interfere with how she runs her house! Ophelia is mean, materialistic and an overachiever. She is not likely to see some middle class teacher as good enough for her son. Add that she has raised her son to be not only creative and romantic, but also incredibly self absorbed and the household may prove hard to be comfortable with. Joseph Whittaker: Joseph is a novellist, living in the stately Whittaker house, which with time, will be turned into the well renowned Willow Creek Archive. He has no mother (a definite pro), but two very young children. A son and a daughter, from a previous marriage. Pro: Joseph is a bookworm, just like Abigail and is sure look favourably on her past as a teacher. They are also both family orientated which means they are a good match in personalities and would likely find a lot of common ground. The house is ripe with books, and Joseph's two motherless children desperately need a mother to tend to their needs. With two live in maids it's a comfortable life focused on the family and the books she so loves. Con: Joseph very much mourns his dead wife, and keeps her picture on the wall over the fireplace. Can he ever truly love again, or will Abigail forever live in the shadow of the woman he loved and lost? Loyd Brennan: Loyd is the owner of Brennan's Groceries and Dry Goods, the biggest (only) shop in town. He lives with his sister Mary and their dachshund above the store. Pro: Loyd is outgoing and friendly and easy to get along with. He's self assured, but unlike Matthew, not self absorbed. He works hard and provides a good home. As a working man he does not mind a working wife, so Abigail would do more than sit around being pretty. He loves dogs, and anyone who does cannot be bad - right? Con: Living in a store would mean working in the store. There is no way the wife of a store owner is not in that store working along side her husband. Without money for a maid, this involves not just working in the store but running the household as well. The apartment isn't really big enough for a large family and unless Mary gets married, it's bound to be crowded. Then there is the fact that she and Mary does not really get along well. Paul Heydale: Paul is a farmer, living with his entire family at Garden Essence, a farm with a cow, chickens and a whole lot of crops. They're a tight knit family who works hard for what they have. Pros: Paul, like Abigail is both creative and family orientated. He dreams of becoming a painter rather than a farmer. By marrying him, Abigail would be wrapped up in a large family who would be there for her, something she'd never had before. His family is also very friendly, and Abigail teachers his younger sister and has already met and chatted with his mother and father and really likes the entire family. Con: Marrying a farmer would be a step down the social ladder, and the life of a farmer is hard! Is Abigail cut out for working out from early morning to late evening without ever more than making ends meet? And the house is crowded as is, with Paul's parents and two younger siblings (so far). Where would more children live? Is Abigail prepared for the hard life that accompanies this choice? Now I wanted to make a poll, but apparently you cannot do this in this section of the forums. So I'll leave you with a question instead - who do you believe Abigail will most likely fall in love with and why? Matthew Joseph Loyd Paul Finally, here is my Willow Creek in 1890: *** An important note about the future postings in this story: After trying and fighting the forum to get the posts up and running as they are supposed to work, I have now decided that it's simply too much work. Instead, I have started a blog that (hopefully soon) will contain all of the chapters from here and the old forum. I am currently at 1891 and moving forwards quite rapidly. Here the posts of each chapter will be replaced by a link to the chapters in the blog as I move forwards, though I will leave any comments as they are. The massive perk with this is that I do not need to worry about editing in all images manually, and the loading time will decrease enormously without them. The process of reading is also easier at the blog - and while the blog itself is in the wrong order, I have set up a list of all chapters in chronological order for new readers as well as a search function if you are looking for a specific chapter. Another perk is that I have some new options, like character pages where you can get a summary of each of the main character in the story (warnings for spoilers) and a separate page about the challenge, how time moves. I hope I will be able include a link to the family tree as well. It will take some time to get everything set up, and I do appreciate input in the process. I do promise that the story will go on, and hope you will keep reading it and commenting on it either here or on the new blog.

Welcome to BNS 187: A Chalet Retreat The scents of spruce and peppermint accompany the couple who step into your office. Flakes of melting snow from the first real snow of the year dust their clothes and hair. “Mr. and Mrs. Yukimura, welcome,” you greet them. “I hope the drive wasn’t too bad?” “Not at all. We’re used to driving in the snow,” Rin Yukimura answers. He has an air of dignity and cool reserve about him. “That’s good. Now, what can I help you with?” “We’ve just won the lottery,” Fuyuko Yukimura answers before her husband can. “We want to build our vacation home on it. A chalet-style house. It’s been our dream for years, and we can finally make it come true with your help.” She seems more relaxed and friendlier than her husband. But maybe he’s just shy around strangers or doing his best to appear businesslike? You don’t want to be too quick to judge. “I’m glad to help. How large of a chalet are you thinking?” “Nothing big or fancy. Three bedrooms with ensuite baths and a half-bath for guests will be plenty,” Mr. Yukimura replies. “One of the bedrooms should have an attached living area as well - we’re considering renting it out to earn some extra income.” “The upstairs bedrooms should also have balconies,” Mrs. Yukimura adds. “On the first floor, we want an open floor plan so the view can be enjoyed from anywhere in the house. We need a kitchen, dining room, living room, and a half-bath for guests.” “We will be spending a lot of time outdoors, hiking or biking in the summer and skiing and snowboarding in the winter, so we don’t need a very large lot. A patio for outdoor entertaining in the summer would be nice though,” Mr. Yukimura says. “Naturally, we’ll need storage space for our gear and bicycles.” “With a telescope. I love observing the sky at night,” Mrs. Yukimura adds. “Oh! We would love a fire pit or outdoor fireplace to heat the patio so it can be used in cooler weather too. And there should be one or two fireplaces inside as well.” “That all sounds doable. Do you have a preference for where this chalet should be located?” you ask. “In the mountains would be great, but we understand if that’s not possible. In which case we’ll take anywhere we can enjoy the change of seasons and the outdoors,” Mrs. Yukimura answers. You make a note of their preferences. “All right, and what is your budget?” Mr. Yukimura answers this time. *$150,000. Will that be enough?” “Yes. We’ll get right on this with winter coming, and should have your chalet ready by the end of the month.” The Brief: Budget: 150000 Lot size: Any size that will fit the Yukimuras’ requirements while still leaving room for landscaping. While building the chalet in a mountainous area would be nice, it is not required. The chalet should have three bedrooms and three and a half baths. One of the bedrooms should have an attached living room as well as the bath so it can be rented out as a separate unit. Note: This part of the challenge was written to allow anyone who has the For Rent pack to use the residential rental lot trait, but it can as easily be for a base game roommate. The main living area should have an open floor plan with lots of windows. Upstairs bedrooms need balconies. The covered patio should have room to entertain and an outdoor fireplace. The house should have at least two fireplaces inside. Include a storage space for the Yukimuras’ gear - bicycles, skis, sleds. Remember to landscape. The Sim Challenge: Create Rin and Fuyuko Yukimura. You can pick all of their traits, likes, dislikes etc.. Show them enjoying their new home. Show all of their outfits.

There will be a new shell to furnish and tour before March 3, 2024. I'll write it tomorrow or the next day! :) On Twitch, I hold a building tour of builds you’ve created for my challenge. See the date below: I’m FireflyGamer107 on Twitch and Twitter and coolsim9999999 on this forum and in the gallery. I play The Sims 4 on the last Monday of every month (for now due to a shoulder and arm injury) and occasionally Stardew Valley. April room challenge: Construct a room for a circus tent house in which a prankster/jokester lives alone, he but loves to play tricks on his friends. Hashtag: #fireflyaprilfools Brief: Prankster/Jokester, Droll Trouble, has the Chief of Mischief aspiration, and will work on the Jokestar aspiration next. He’s a goofball, erratic, insider. His many friends are in his Jokes and Mischief club, which is held in his circus tent home! April 1 (April Fools day is their favorite holiday! Time to let loose with any jokes and pranks in this build! All packs and kits allowed --- last month was a very rare exception pack and kit wise. I will always tell you if there’s going to be an exception about packs or kits. Any décor style Info: From a house shell (please use the hashtag for that month which someone will make each month, please choose a room to create from that house shell. Feel free to add landscape and put activities in the yard of the house shell. For the house shell --- any size lot is fine. I was thinking of using a larger lot like a 50X50 lot. Make sure to give yourself credit for creating the house shell with a hashtag. The main areas of the house and outside landscaping/anything outside that isn’t a room could be a collab and will also be in the stream. This month, @JojoMOMSTER volunteered again to create the shell, but anyone in this challenge may add to the main areas. Then, everyone, please upload your rooms to the gallery with the hashtag: #fireflyaprilfools Room types: Kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room, dining room, study, kids room, outdoor room --- or other type of room --- as long as we get each of the rooms above in the build. Of course, we may not always need a kids’ room. Also, I'll let you know how many of each room we need for the challenge. Please tell me which room you want to do as soon as possible. I will keep track of which room types are left. The hashtag for the whole challenge this month: #fireflyaprilfools, so please use that hashtag too so I can find everything. On stream, I’ll tour the house. However, I’ll nominate each room in the challenge for a Maxis fave. I’ll also be able to tell who did which room in the finished house. I'll post it in announcements on discord, on my Twitter and here on the TS4 forum! Hashtag: #fireflyaprilfools Deadline: Sunday, April 24, 2022 by 11:59 p.m. EST Tours on my Twitch stream: Monday, April 25, 2022 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. EST Any budget, lot type and packs or kits No Custom Content (no cc) allowed. You may use cheats to build or for your Sims to play test your build more efficiently. Hashtag: #fireflyaprilfools In addition, please post your rooms to the gallery using the hashtag. That way, I can easily nominate everyone for a Maxis fave! Entry Form: Forum ID: Origin ID: Gallery Name of Room: Gallery Link: Building tip feedback wanted?

Update: First Diary of a Magical Mischief Maker post is now complete! This is a page where I'll post random little comedy episodes from my sims' lives. I don't currently have time to write a full series, but like to create a bit of humour when I can. Hope you enjoy! I must apologise for such long posts but until I figure out how to put spoilers in replies I am having to post everything in one post for each story.
