Day 10 of Simsmas: New year, new surroundings «12...Next Go

EA_Mai

My Sim had a crazy New Year's party.

Really... truly crazy.

This level of craziness:

See that mess? It used to be her living room.

On the tenth day of Simsmas... she needs us all to help her get her living room back! Your challenge of the day is to download that room into your game (from here, or searching for my forum name in The Gallery), and turn it into a living room where she can... well, live.

A couple things to keep in mind:

• There's no need to use all the objects in the room, but buying new items is not allowed either.
• You can change colors to existing objects.
• Cloning objects is allowed, but only once (so you have 2 of each).

Once you are happy with the result, share a screenshot with us!

Note: Not sure how to download things from The Gallery? We have a guide for you here!

PS. If you upload the result to The Gallery, tag it with #Simsmas2019!

There's a fine line between something looking "lived-in" and "unbearably cluttered", but I'm not quite sure where that is. (Also, can never have too many area rugs! ...Maybe!)



Also how could I resist adding that random toilet paper roll into this?
(Who brought that to a New Year's Party, lol!)


Also took some first-person shots:

Edit:
I also wasn't sure if we HAD to keep the room's original dimensions, so I kept the room the same size, and just threw out what I didn't use.

This looks like so much fun!!!!! I'm excited to try this days game out

Catlady

This is an amazing idea and it was so much fun!
I couldn't really decide on one screenshot, so here are a few more (I hope it's not too many)

The whole room suddenly evolved around that orange couch. I just discovered that this orange swatch has an interesting texture to it, which really intrigued me, so I had to use it.

Oh dear! I think I figured it out! Your SIM lives in an apartment, one neighbour decided they would host the party so they brought over the extra furnishings so there would be room at their place for all the guests and dancing. Another neighbour wanted to wax their floors over the holidays so your SIM said “no problem” now your SIM needs to go back to work and is really hoping the neighbours come get their stuff back. That the storyline I’m going with.

Just as I suspected @EA_Mai , your SIMself had three living rooms worth stuffed in there.

Your SIMself's living room:

My SIMself has helped herself to your SIMself's home

The living room of the neighbor who had the party

JoAlienSIMself just helping herself to that living room too

The living room of the neighbour who needed to wax the floor

The yard sale of the remaining items

only 3 lights and three rugs

Here is the lot if you want to count and verify

@EA_Mai Are we allowed to reduce/enlarge objects?

This is how she put her living room back together.

watching TV

writing a book next to the tree

Here's my finished product.. Opted to keep things simple.

My Sim will be happy to have so many great options, thanks for sharing your screenshots!

@Iyasenu @Allears Good questions! That was perfect, @Iyasenu, yes, the idea was to keep the room same size, but if anyone already changed that, don’t worry about it! Reducing/enlarging objects, as well as using moveobjects or moving objects up is allowed.

@JojoMOMSTER Hahaha, I think she should sell some of those objects

@Catlady Let me help with the screenshots:

@EA_Mai thank you :)

Allears

This was a lot of fun!

I meant to delete the bulletin board and forgot. but i had so much fun with this!!!

mcrudd

Woah that was organized chaos in there. I had to take everything out and sort it first LOL. This is my final result, will upload it with the hashtag now





Edit to add link to room in gallery. Here is my day 10 of simsmas challenge room

Here's my entry for the 10th Day of Simsmas!

Karababy52

Here's my try at putting things back where they belong in this room. Boy was this a challenge! I started out with a red/white theme, then blue/white and finally settled on green/beige with pops of red. In hindsight I should've put a Sim on that lot to light the fireplace and tree, but oh well. *shrugs* I put it on the Gallery with the hashtag too if anyone wants it. My ID is the same as here.



More pics including an overhead view under the spoiler!

I am loving what everyone else has done for this round too, some really creative and beautiful rooms! Great job y'all!

EDIT: Oh, forgot to say, I moved the windows. I hope that's okay and not against the rules @EA_Mai o.O

That’s ok @Karababy52 - I see how moving them was important for you for the symmetry
Don’t worry about the fire or tree lights either, it looks great as it is!

I’m also finding interesting many of you didn’t like the glass door in the room

Thanks everyone for participating and sharing your screenshots, I love seeing the different results!

@Iyasenu Hahaha, I was wondering if someone would keep it! (I had my fun creating the challenge as well )

@Catlady Congrats on becoming a member! I like you kept lots of plants in the room (and that they never die on The Sims because in real life... they don’t usually last me very long ).

@JojoMOMSTER You took the challenge to another level! Definitely you proved you storyline

@coolsim9999999 The change of color to the floor around the fireplace - really interesting touch! I try to avoid placing rugs near the fire, this is a great alternative!

@hyrulerose Simple is sometimes the best, and awww, my Sim has a fish in your version!

@Allears Glad to hear that! Brave use of orange and yellow as main colors, looks great!

@Shadami you gave those tables a very original new use as shelves!

@mcrudd Great use of the green! Little confession: when creating the room, the idea was to select and buy the objects, then taking them out of the room and placing them again sorted by category or better organized... but when I finished buying everything I was afraid if I took everything out I wouldn’t be able to fit it all in again!

Let’s add a link so everyone can take a look easily >> @stilljustme2’s room in The Gallery.

@TheGreatGorlon some cookies on the desk + fruit near the couch = a happily fed Sim! And those big gift boxes...!


Hope I didn’t miss anyone, writing this using my phone!

Okay, cool. Thanks! So happy you like it. Hope your Sim does too, if you ever use it. Oh, yeah, LOL! Concerning your comment, I have a thing for symmetry and color coordination. I'm not very keen on the eclectic look in my builds. Some Simmers do a fantastic job with that kind of design though. I envy them sometimes. I've tried to do that style and it always ends up looking balanced anyway. *shrugs*

Anyway, er, uhhh, what glass door? The room I downloaded didn't have a glass door. I thought those that had a glass door in their build added them. o.O Huh, weird... *cue Twilight Zone theme song*

EDIT: Or maybe it did and I accidentally deleted it when I got rid of some curtains and didn't notice. Very possible, I guess. Woops! lol

coolsim9999999

Thank you very much for your super comment about my room @EA_Mai ! I'm happy you liked how I changed the flooring color under/in front of the fireplace !

Great rooms, everyone !

Shadami

Yeah I wanted to try to use as much as i could and the walls were so tall. shelves felt perfect

also what glass door? I don't remember one? I know there was a glass table though.

Hahahaha I can just immagine , you had it fit in there quite good, don't think I would have been able to fit it all back in there once I had it out LOL. I am glad you liked the green. I also had it furnished for after Christmas so did not place the Christmas decorations as we have allready taken all of ours down allready

Day 10 - Phew! That was hard work cleaning up after that party! Ximenia and Maddox were more than happy to help your sim out @EA_Mai They decided to go with a home cinema-ish

Glad they could help




Room is up on the gallery #Simsmas2019

SoulGal7

Here is my Simsmas decorated room. Whoa! There was a lot of stuff packed in there! I didn't use everything and went with a green theme. It was a fun challenge. Enjoy! It is also up in the gallery Simsmas 2019. Here are some pics.
