FireflyGamer107 / coolsim9999999 --- Monthly Building Challenge

On Twitch, I hold a building tour of builds you’ve created for my challenge.
See the date below:
I’m FireflyGamer107 on Twitch and Twitter and coolsim9999999 on this forum and in the gallery.
I play The Sims 4 on the last Tuesday of every month (for now due to a shoulder and arm injury) and occasionally Stardew Valley.
July room challenge:
Construct a room for a house with 2 parents and their 1 child. All 3 Sims have 2 different interests and different color preferences.
Brief:
Lily, the mom likes white and gray, fishing and gardening, the dad Luke likes cooking/grilling and handiness, as well as the colors brown and black. Linda, the child, a five-year-old girl, loves frogs and bunnies and is tired of being cooped up in an apartment so the family has worked and saved to buy a rural property where the child can run and play outside, catch frogs and maybe befriend a bunny. The child loves all the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and pink, as well as different shades of colors, such as turquoise --- although orange and yellow are Linda's two favorite colors of all, but she does like all bright colors.
However, the parents don’t mind some splashes of colors that the child likes throughout the house.
Jojo and I wrote different parts on this month’s brief because colors and interests was her idea.
Any décor style
Base game ONLY just for this month!!!/b]
Note about how to disable packs:
“Do you have the load sequence to load your game as base game only? I find this helpful when I need to not use packs.”
Staring here, the source: is jamesturner.yt to give credit for the loading option
Open Origin and head to My Game Library
Right click on The Sims 4 and select Game Properties
Select Advanced launch options
Enter the text in the box below in Command line arguments
-disablepacks:EP01,EP02,EP03,EP04,EP05,EP06,EP07,EP08,EP09,EP10,EP11,GP01,GP02,GP03,GP04,GP05,GP06,GP07,GP08,GP09,GP10,SP01,SP02,SP03,SP04,SP05,SP06,SP07,SP08,SP09,SP10,SP11,SP12,SP13,SP14,SP15,SP16,SP17,SP18,SP20,SP21,SP22,SP23
Remember to includes the dash before the words disablepacks
so it's -disablepacks
Alternatively, I just check off basegame in the filters in build mode.
Please note: You’re also going to want to check off colors.
Info:
From a house shell (please use the hashtag for that month which someone will make each month, please choose a room to create from that house shell. Feel free to add landscape and put activities in the yard of the house shell. For the house shell --- any size lot is fine. I was thinking of using a larger lot like a 50X50 lot. Make sure to give yourself credit for creating the house shell with a hashtag. The main areas of the house and outside landscaping/anything outside that isn’t a room could be a collab and will also be in the stream. This month, @JojoMOMSTER volunteered again to create the shell, but anyone in this challenge may add to the main areas.
Then, everyone, please upload your rooms to the gallery with the
hashtag: # #fireflycolors
Room types:
Kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room, dining room, study, kids room, outdoor room --- or other type of room --- as long as we get each of the rooms above in the build. Of course, we may not always need a kids’ room. Also, I'll let you know how many of each room we need for the challenge.
Please tell me which room you want to do as soon as possible.
I will keep track of which room types are left.
The hashtag for the whole challenge this month: #fireflycolors, so please use that hashtag too so I can find everything.
On stream, I’ll tour the house.
However, I’ll nominate each room in the challenge for a Maxis fave. I’ll also be able to tell who did which room in the finished house.
I'll post it in announcements on discord, on my Twitter and here on the TS4 forum!
Hashtag: #fireflycolors
Deadline: Sunday, July 25 by 11:59 a.m. EDT, 2021 by 11:59 p.m. EDT

Building tip feedback wanted? No thank you, but thank you for hosting such a fun challenge. It really made me happy to build this!
When I was a child I didn't believe in Santa Claus. When I was VERY young my father said to me, "There's no such thing as Santa! I'm the "MFer" who puts in the overtime at the truck plant and your mother and I buy your gifts." (sorry, but that's what he said...he was a blunt man) Ironically, today would have been his 67th birthday if he were still alive. I'll be 47 years old this Friday, and looking back, I understand why he said it and I'm not traumatized over it. In addition, my Mom was a practicing hardcore Evangelical and Santa didn't have much of a place in our Christmas traditions. I still always enjoyed watching other kids, who did believe in Santa, meet him to have their pics made and to tell him what they wanted for Christmas. I might have been jealous of their excitement. I loved how there would always be a backdrop with a fireplace, decorated tree and piles of presents. I appreciated the work that went into the decorating and also the kindness and patience that was always exhibited by the person playing Santa. So that is why I incorporated the special area of Gingerbread Cafe just for Santa's meet and greet.

Happy birthday for Friday!

Building tip feedback wanted? Sure!
Creative notes about your build:
I tried to make my gingerbread house as candy filled on the outside as possible without taking anyone else's ideas (there are some great gingerbread houses out there!) but the interior is decorated just generally festive. I used some of my own Christmas artwork on the walls.
Back Story:
No back story yet...hopefully wonderful Christmas holiday memories can be made for your sims here

Building tip feedback wanted? Sure, I consider this to still be a work in progress.
Creative notes about your build: This started out as a modern A-frame build, but eventually I decided that if I'm going to do extreme angles with roofing, I might as well really go for it.

Top level, display tree you need to teleport to.
It is a very nice gingerbread home!

The Christmas trees, toy train, presents, additional Christmas decorations, Baby Yoda and intricate tiling pattern outside, make your gingerbread house magical @wendyology
I love your screenshots
Feedback:
I really like your house
Can you tell that I furnished the top level first? After all the time I put into the roof and lava lamps there wasn’t time for anything else. Ugh, adulting before a trip takes a lot of time.
If you post after this, then, I will still tour your build on my live stream on December 27 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. EST
Everyone had such creative builds
Thank you very much for doing my challenge, everyone
