? 88th theme CHALLENGE! ?Inspiration is one of my favorite ways to connect with our next QCC theme! This one comes straight from our great friend @BlueShreve ?
Creative Direction & Rules:What comes to your Sims imagination when I say the words "prohibition, bootleggin' speakeasy's, rumrunners, smugglers, etc"? In the US, there was a major underground rebellion against the prohibition laws in the 1920's. In the end, prohibition most definitely backfired and failed miserably. What prohibition did give us were some very colorful and resourceful characters that figured out ways to go around the law to get their spiked beverages (alcohol) to consumers. Your job is to create the sims producing these spirited drinks in secret. Have your sims covertly making nectar, juice and other drinks with the nectar maker, juice fizzing station, even our base game bars. Don't forget to think about the avenues of distribution away from the pryin' eyes of the law! From Sixam to Sulani have your brand of liquid happiness flowin'!
Here's a brief definition/history I found on

Feel free to create the sim characters inspired by prohibition, the build establishments that supported the secret production/distribution of the "specialty" drinks or create both! As always, you can make your own SIMaginative spin on this theme and make something that could exist only in The Sims ;)
Be sure to give your sims and/or your build a bootleggin'/prohibition inspired description telling us all about the adventures of your daring booze makers and/or their establishments of ill repute. Of course your builds should look legit to the watchful eyes of the law but the secret manufacturing and sales are hidden somewhere inside ;)

Rules:
Create sims and/or builds inspired by prohibition, bootleggin' and the secretive, underground distribution of "nectar", "juice" and other names for adult beverages.
