A Short Story Inspired by The Old Peeling Door
The frail woman sat huddled by her campfire trying to warm her old bones. Her skin was brown and wrinkled from the sun. Her lips chapped and dry from the arid heat. She was not quite an Elder yet but she sure felt older than her years. Life was hard here and few survived the intense heat of the day and the chill of the night. If only she had some clean water to cool her lips and wash away some of the stench. While out gathering food and some kindling for the fire she came across the ruins of an old building. There was not much left of the structure. Just a few walls overgrown by wild plants and a door. The door did not seem to go anywhere. It was just ... there mounted to the remains of a wall. She reached for the knob but was startled by a noise. It was getting dark ... strange things could happen in the dark. So she quickly gathered a few sticks of kindling and some berries she knew were safe and quickly returned home. For several days she would think about the door and where it might have lead. Was it the door to a home? Or to a tavern from long ago? It was just a door that lead nowhere. But why was it still standing when everything else was destroyed? - EQ

Some who have traveled the post-apocalyptic desolation of Murkland have reported visions of sand muses amongst the wind-swept dunes. Do these creatures who inspire the survivors actually exist or are they simply the hallucinations of traumatized minds? Are they supernatural beings or mutants who have adapted to life in the deep desert? What kind of person would see such a being so far out in the wasteland? And, what would those who glanced at them be inspired to create? What would a sand muse look like? Where and how would it live? Who would it like to inspire and who would it leave lonely on the sandy plains? Would sand muses always inspire creativity or might they also inspire fear?
Remember you can create anything for the murkspiration -- a build, a story, a household, custom content or a video. It is up to you!
Challenge 2 is being beta tested in the facebook group. Once I get some feedback from them I will make changes and release it here!
I'm glad to hear it's just in beta testing. I thought I'd missed something. I've seen a few people mentioning it and now I know why the people playing lower houses on the drifter challenge got frustrated when we talked about the higher level houses.
Oasis & Mirage both in their 'natural' state and in disguise.
The desert can be a harsh and unforgiving place but also a place of beauty. Oasis Offers peace and tranquility. Mirage Spreads mischief and mayhem. They are welcomed by some and feared by others. Can harmony and balance be achieved while they are around? Sims living in the wastelands of #Murkland are about to find out.

Yes, it is! @Rainydayz179, it's a really large challenge and now we are re-working it to possibly be a challenge 2 and a challenge 3.

This is the domain of #Murkland 's Sand Muse. What will your sim ask of the Sand Muse? What of the many treasure will your sims be influenced by? Will your sims bask in a great feeling of peace or be overcome with turmoil? #Murkspiration #NoCC #BGsCreations
Beware! Claire Voyance is a #Murkland Sand Muse. Will Claire lull your sims into a peaceful existence or will they be plunged into life of turmoil and sadness? What will your sims see when they look at her? A girl? A Boy?Clair has mastered the violin and gutair. She has learned the ancient secrets of the wellness skill. Will her touch of message heal or hinder? Even though she is only a teenager many praise her abilities, while others cower in her presence. #Murkspiration #NoCC #BGsCreations[/quote]

@BUTTONSGINGER -- As always, I LOVE your creations! Wonderful!
Over the years, when Murkland Salamanders have been fishing on the banks of the "decontaminated" waterways of Granite Fallout – every now and then – they see a raft float by. Sometimes, if they look closely enough or if the current is very slow, they can see tents on those rafts. Murklanders often wonder who would choose to live in such a tiny space on the water and what might that little home look like on the inside? They also wonder why they have never met a tent floater? Are those waterway dwellers hiding something, or are they just too afraid to set foot on land again?
Create anything you like for the Murkspiration -- a household or build, CC, a video, a sim lit story or a screenshot. It's up to you!
Infamous Captain Deadeye Download
The Infamous Captain Deadeye has roamed the murky waters of Granite Fallout since the apocalypse. He is a bit off his head, at least that is how the legend goes. Some Murklanders claim he's not from this world. He is always ready to barter with an adventerous sims who dares to come around his ship. Use caution, for some sims have are said to have gone missing after their visit with Deadeye! #Murkspiration #Murkland #Nukecrest #BGsCreations #NoCC
The ship of the infamous Captain Deadeye has landed in port and It holds all the great treasures of the murky waters of Granite Fallout. Come and barter for a bargain bauble. Don't let the strange lights and noises keep you away. There is nothing to fear here...Mwahwahwahwa #Murkspiration #Murkland #Nukecrest #BGsCreations #NoCC
It's a murky camp on a raft! Place on any lot and then use the foundation tool to add a dark brown edge, I used 'The W00dy' (EA's name for it, but it is a bad word!....lol). Then surround with a murky pool for a floating down the river look. Don't forget to add stairs to one little section so your sims can get on board! #playtested #MOO #Debug #noCC
