Build-n-Share Weekly Challenge #55 - I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore...
Thread for this week’s challenge:
http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/265588.page
This Week’s Challenge Specifics:
So while we’re in the mood for movies, I thought I would issue a challenge I have wanted to try myself for quite some time. It is based on a classic movie I have seen a countless number of times.
And now I hope all of you will try your hand at recreating this classic home and scene from The Wizard of Oz.
For those who are unfamiliar with the movie, or even those who do know it, I have included two You Tube links for inspiration.
The challenge comes in two forms for this week’s contest:
1. To recreate (as nearly as possible from the shots you see in the videos) the home and Munchkinland, where the home lands.
2. And the biggie...To design the home in “black and white,” just like it is in the movie, and Munchkinland in all its Technicolor splendor. As a tip, keep in mind that black and white movies contain muted grays more than harsh black and white hues. Consider material as well. Metals will probably be too reflective a texture, while fabrics might give the softer look you need.
And those are the directions. Make Munchkinland as vast as you like, or more compact if time is short. But be sure to capture the essence of the colorless home in the midst of a vibrantly colored outside world. Please note that photo effects to create the appropriate colors is not allowed. Your build must truly be black and white in-game.

OPTIONAL CHALLENGE:
For those looking for a huge challenge, create two lots:
One lot should be fully black and white and include the entire farmhome in Kansas (eg. with chicken coops, cellar, etc). My suggestion is to build just the home first and save it to the library. Then continue building on the original lot to add the rest of the grounds.
The second lot is the home in Munchkinland. If you saved to the library, you already have the home itself built, now you can just redecorate the outside to reflect her arrival "somewhere over the rainbow."
AS A SIDENOTE:
I have been considering writing a playing challenge based on The Wizard of Oz for awhile now. Down the road, if I decide to do this (I'll need to do some playtesting first), I would like to be able to use one or two of these lots. If you are OK with that, please note it on your official entry form. I will most likely select one build with cc and one lot without cc. Credit will be generously given, and your lot would be linked on the challenge thread and any related media.
I will also be looking for sims for this challenge. If you decide to create some anyway for this challenge, here are the ones I'd like (they can be one household): Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tinman, Glinda (the Good Witch), the Wicked Witch, The Wizard, and Auntie Em.
