This Week’s Challenge Specifics:

Sets, Take One! Action!

In anticipation for the Sims International Films Festival and the Late Night expansion, I thought this would be a good time to tackle an idea I've had for awhile. It is something a few of us flip team members teamed up together to do for Fidler's Extreme Mansion Challenge. We created a giant movie mansion on a 60x60 lot with over 30 different sets that can be used for storytelling.

If you would like to see what we did, you can check out the thread here: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/116958.page

We were successful for the most part, but the major problem with our lot was that it was simply TOO BIG! We put so much detail into it, the lot was pretty bulky and took a long time to load for those who didn't run sims on good computers.

For the longest time, I've been meaning to create mini sets on 30x30 lots to make it less cumbersome. Since I've never gotten around to it and since I know you guys can be super creative, I figured I should make this into a challenge to see how you guys do!

Please pick one theme from the list below and build a movie set consisting of the following interiors that aren't easy to find in game: a restaurant or bar, a bookstore, an office, a hospital room, and a classroom. You may add any other rooms you can think of that may be appropriate to the theme, but please keep in mind that you only have a 30x30 lot to work with. For the exteriors, you are free to make it however you want, whether it is keeping with the theme or if you would like it to make it look like a studio building.

Here are the themes for you to choose from:

- Haunted/Abandoned
- 60s and 70s Retro
- Futuristic/Sci-Fi
- Victorian

If you have any other themes you can think of and would like to try, please post your idea and we'll see if it's doable.

There is no budget.

Lot type does not matter, but you should discreetly make sure the lot is playable enough for sims to satisfy their needs if they were wandering around on free will.

No CC except custom patterns allowed! Since we are building this for the story telling community, we want to make sure it is easily accessible. You can use any items from the base game, expansions, stuff packs, and even store items. But please keep in mind not to use too many store items because once again, we want to make our sets as easy as possible to utilize. This may just be the most challenging part for some of you!

Also please make sure to make it clear either in your lot name or lot description that the lot is meant to be used as a set for storytelling. It makes it easier to find for people who are looking for sets.

Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

ACTION!
