The Sims 4 - Build-n-Share - The Hawthorne Project XIV - Due 31 Jan 2022

Welcome to Build n Share Hawthorne Project Sims

This is a Sim creation challenge that will run every four months to find the next candidate for Ms Hawthorne's Hawthorne Project. Ms Hawthorne was your ultimate Rags to Riches story back when Starlight Shores was in it's heyday. You can read more about the project here.

Look for results typically a week to two weeks after the deadline.

Big thanks to our judges and helpers!

What makes this challenge different from all the other ones I've seen?
Ever had a Sim fall on hard times? Well, then, this is the challenge for you! You make the Sims and let others design them their new start in life. This challenge ties in with the Build n Share building challenge, you can find out more about it here. Each month one worthy winner will be plucked from obscurity and a custom built home will be specified to the building challenge.

What a great idea @BuildnShare ! I don't usually get involved with CAS challenges, but I do enjoy making Sims for my own game. I'll need to give this a shot!

@BuildnShare @FaithofKaela
Are Sims to be fresh from CAS or can households include BIG (Born-In-Game) Sims with gained skills etc?
I have a mix of my own creations that are fresh/never played and Skilled plus BIG in same households.
Would a hashtag like #BNS_Sims or #BNSHawthorne be required to tag entries?

That is a very good point about tagging @EuphorialQueen!! I will add that to the challenge requirements. And of course it can include BIG Sims, it can include any sims, after all, anyone can fall on hard times :)

Wonderful idea! I'm play-testing my entry now!

Yay @Ainsleyf - can't wait to see what you've created for our new challenge <3

Please tell us a little bit about yourself and your family, if appropriate, and why you are applying to The Hawthorne Project.

My name is Edith Moskowitz and I'm writing on behalf of a young teen-aged girl that has earned my utmost admiration; My women's group has sponsored three orphaned refugees and collected the funds to bring them here. We've found homes for each of them, but the eldest, Rima, is unconsolable that she might be separated from her brother and sister, and we can't find anyone that can take all three. She's convinced she can do it on her own. She's a very responsible girl and has a very convincing plan on how to support her family. We've found a local coffee shop that will sell her paintings and a farmer's market that will buy anything she can grow. Her little brother, Joram, is even offering to catch fish for the local fishmonger. The women's group will provide day care so that Rima can continue with her schooling. I really think they have a very good chance and it would break my heart to disappoint them after all they've been through.

Tell us about your ideal home space:

They need a home that wouldn't be impossible for them to financially maintain, so nothing too fancy. Rima insists that they can all share a bedroom, but I think they should have at least two, and a bathtub for the toddler. They'd obviously need a place to cook and share family meals, toys and activities for the little ones, books, and an easel and garden for income. They'd also need a place to play and share family time. It should be cheerful and homey so that they feel safe and comfortable, and although the poor dears are very grateful to be here, they are homesick, so at least a touch of the Middle East in the architecture or decorations would be wonderful.
