Day 4: Present Hunt


Sul sul!

Welcome to Day 4 of The 12 Days of Simsmas, today we'll be downloading a lot and going on a bit of a treasure hunt with our very own @EA_Solaire!

She's skillfully and deceptively hidden 12 presents around this lot, can you find them all? Once each present has been found, be sure to move the present box to a different location to see what's waiting for you inside!

To start hunting, you can download this lot here, or search for EA_Solaire in The Gallery - best of luck!

Oh this sounds fun!

Where does the lot belong? I know we can put it just about anywhere we please but where does it fit best??

EA_Solaire

@NRowe this was originally built on the Garden Essence lot in Willow Creek- but you can place this on any 40x30 lot that you like! 😊

I found 11 hidden presents. Not sure if the cracker is one of them,

EA_Solaire

@DreamPrincess The cracker is just a bit of decoration, it's not one of the 12 hidden presents 😉

Belalucina

I found them! Some of these were very cleverly hidden indeed.

Belalucina

I just realized the things hiding under the presents were the things "waiting for you inside." At first I was like "why is there a spice rack here?" Now I get it. Lol.

Belalucina

Here's all the presents inside:

I had to go and find them again, since I originally left them were they were because I was just focused on finding the present boxes.

The plunger is definitely a gag gift lol. Not sure about putting it on the counter, but I'm sure it's never been used.


June is happy about the pizza.

@Belalucina congrats on completing the challenge! And thanks for putting it under a spoiler. 😊

Belalucina

@simgirl1010 I definitely didn't want to spoil anything. I thought about wether or not to put my first post in a spoiler, but I figured it would be fine since it doesn't give away where any of them were.

Though I guess I did spoil the spice rack.

I found 7 so far. Trickier than I thought haha. Back to searching...

Update: Farrah will take a break to open this holiday cracker since we've maxed out at 8 for now haha.

ChuChuExpress

I've just found the last present. I must have passed that area several times.

Belalucina

@DreamPrincess one of your items is different than mine, which means I must have grabbed the wrong thing when I was searching the second time. Oops.

permanentrose

Whew! I was about to give up but success!

Farrah with her new treasures.


And Milo with the boxes.

Helpful hint

It was very snowy in winter when I loaded my game, but once I changed the season to summer, it was a lot easier to spot a lot of the gifts when they were no longer covered in snow

permanentrose

@Belalucina Aw I love that you used cute elder June and Steve to do your treasure hunt

Belalucina

@permanentrose I figured they deserved some attention since I've been neglecting them lol.

|I've found 6 but I will try again later in the week for the rest.

mcrudd

Found them Some of those were very tricky

Belalucina

I decided to use this house for June and Steve's family photos. They have a lot of kids, so I won't post everything here, but just wanted to share this one of them being cute.

blueybluesky

Found them all. Very well done with the hiding.

simgirl1010

I was only able to find ten. Gonna try it again.

Alas, this is all that's left of @EA_Solaire's beautiful house.

permanentrose

@simgirl1010 I too deleted many items in search (mainly bushes lol) but then I got worried I'd accidentally delete some presents

blueybluesky

@simgirl1010 So glad I'm not the only one who had to resort to deleting everything lol

simgirl1010

@permanentrose actually I did delete some of the presents.

@blueybluesky one thing demolishing that house taught me is I'll never be an expert builder. And I'm fine with that. As long as there are talented builders and beautiful houses to download from the Gallery.

Belalucina

@simgirl1010 instead of deleting, I just picked items up and moved them around, looked to see if anything was hiding underneath, and then hit the esc key so the item went back to where it was supposed to be. Looking at different angles with walls down helped too.
