@SimLibby I have to start using a calculator. I don't like the uneven numbers and I added them late at night. I will fix it promptly. Also, please do not feel bad about speaking up. Someone has to check the math.
Thank you for fixing it. I tend to look at the winnings after each round because for me that feels like icing on the cake (to see I'm one step closer to what I'm saving up for). I'm glad to hear you don't mind me speaking up about it because here is some more : I think you still forgot to count the winnings on Ari's scavenger hunt with Sara's total. She had 1950 + 150 Ari + 150 Coasterboi + 75 nominee = 2325 instead of 2175. It looks like you only counted + 150 Coasterboi + 75 nominee = 2175 SP. I have some screens with the totals and dates of editing (I would hate it if I would be mistaken about this and accidentally would give you wrong information):
Before Ari:
After Ari: edit to add: with me only counted + 70 instead of + 225 as described in my postbut you fixed that as seen in the next screen which also includes the winnings on Coasterboi. Sara's total has not changed with the winnings on Ari's entry.
After Coasterboi: Sara's total has changed but only with + 150 Coasterboi + 75 nominee.
I have a calculator now. I pinned it to my bar so the totals should not be off again.
Lol. I do to! As you maybe recall I'm not so great at it either. I was terrible at it in high school. The only reason I passed for it was because I studied and practiced my butt off for my final exam (no math is going to bring me down ).
4. I used this forums search function to search for ‘Pnoles build’, ‘Pnoles lot’ and ‘Pnoles’ and I didn’t find any lot. Of course I didn’t search all tabs because there are so many but I did spent a significant amount of time searching for a build. I even tried searching through her page only she has 6000+ comments. I unfolded many comments, I don’t know how much (not all 6000+) but I pressed ‘More comments’ below the page at least 20 times. Then I used [CTRL] + [F] to search the comments with keywords. I tried the keyword ‘lot’ first which was frustrating because it showed me all words with the word 'lot' in it most of which had nothing to do with actual lots but with lottery's or lots off something. So I tried the keyword ‘Build’ and came upon below message, it's about the part I made bold (source). Maybe that explains why I can’t find any builds. There are also no lots in her studio.
This house is a true marvel, it is so very beautiful :shock: ! I am so build handicapped that it blows my mind when I come across such an amazing house like this...it's hard for me to wrap my "pea" brain around it. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this most wondrous beauty :thumbup: Your forever fan ~p
5. With the forums search function I couldn't find any recolors done by Pnoles. I did find threads where Pnoles was somehow involved in where recoloring done by others came up but that’s not the question, isn't it? After a while I didn’t feel like searching anymore so I went to her Sims on the Exchange/Studio. And behold … some recoloring was done. For example this lovely bathrobe worn by Mama Tyler.
This bathrobe is from the basegame and it’s original colors are with, pink or blue as shown in below picture.
7. It’s my understanding that, because it’s just the three of us, each contestant can now be nominated twice a week. If that understanding is correct, I would like to nominate Seaben (she was once nominated by Sara in the previous scavenger hunt). If that understanding is not correct, my mistake and I would like to nominate emorrill: https://store.thesims3.com/myWishlist.html?persona=emorrill
Here are my fndings in today's scavenger hunt with Pnoles.
Fun fact: Pnoles gave the Flash Mob it’s name (source).

Edited: For some reason when I posted this I wasn't able to see Simlibby's findings so I'm now editing my findings so they are different from hers.
You both were really good with this one. Pnoles did/does not build. She was primarily a gifter.
@SimLibby you dug up a thread I almost forgot I created. Flash Mob did get it's name from Pnoles. Goddess created, and I enhanced and updated, an entire guide that went to every host after they were chosen.
Because several of us were in a position to gift big, we often received friend requests (and some stalkers) who plagued us for entire worlds. I stopped gifting and started sponsoring other people's contests. After a while, I completely left the forum.
Flash Mob Host Tutorial
Here’s a quick “how to” guide that is sent to the monthly hosts to help them create a successful Flash Mob. Please remember I am here to support you and offer assistance where ever I can.
Working Together: The first step to any successful Flash Mob is great hosts. Since you have to work together for the month it's a good idea to introduce yourselves through email and plan on keeping in touch frequently. You should each have an email that you feel comfortable giving out to the mob. If you want it to be anonymous I suggest creating a Gmail account. Mine is Flourfairy2u@yahoo, please feel free to email me anytime.
Picking a Target: This is by far the toughest part of the job. There are some basic guidelines that you should follow when picking a target.
• The target should be someone that is active in the community, unselfishly giving of their time, talent and knowledge to the community, not asking for anything in return. Activity does not need to be isolated to the GG, and I would encourage you to find someone who is active in other parts of the forums as well. Mobbers are more likely to get involved if they know the target.
• The target has to have a good sized WL. A mix of singles and sets are good, but it has to have single items. Not everyone can afford sets. I would suggest at least 100 items in a WL, the more the better. If they have sets that can be broken up you can also take that into consideration as long as they have a healthy list of single items already on there. I would advise against picking someone who is gifted frequently as their WL could go down considerably before the Mob date.
• Each host should pick a couple of potential targets. Be prepared with reasons why you think they would be a good fit as honoree. Take some time to discuss all the options before making your collaborative decision. If you can't agree or decide for whatever reason, random.org can be a great resource.
Creating the Thread: I have linked all the previous Flash Mob threads to the Host Lottery thread. Look through these for some inspiration on how to set up the thread. http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/622313.page
• It's important to get the thread up as soon as you have decided on your target. The more time you give the mob to organize the better. Creators need as much time as they can get.
• Decide between the two of you who will set up the thread. Whoever sets up the thread will be responsible for keeping the mob list updated throughout the month, and updating the Created Gifts section of the thread on Mob day.
• If there is any chance you will not be able to continue hosting the mob throughout the month, please do not create the thread. We have had months where a new thread needed to be created due to a co-host dropping out. This causes a lot of confusion for the Flash Mob participants.
• The opening post needs to include the Rules of the Flash Mob. They are at the bottom of this document for you to copy and paste.
• Both co-hosts should be checking into the thread at least once a day. Remember you are responsible for recruiting. The larger the mob the more fun it will be. The best way to accomplish this is to keep the thread visible. Make it fun, post funny pics, and be silly. It's a great way to get new people involved in the event.
Communicating with the Mob:
• This is your number one priority as hosts. If you aren't communicating with the community you are not going to have a successful Flash Mob.
• Your email address should be listed on your mypage and you should announce this in the thread. Links to each of the host's pages in the first thread can be very helpful, especially if you want to split the responsibility of sending out emails. Otherwise it is common that the person who created the thread gets hit with most of the emails.
• You should try to return emails promptly. Everyone has RL responsibilities, but if you don't return emails for several days the troops are going to go AWOL.
• You should also be prepared to type up something about your target that you can distribute to the mob with the name. This is helpful to creators and people are more likely to stay involved if they feel that you have picked a worthy target even if they don't know that person themselves.
• Don't forget to pick a decoy, a believable one. If you pick one that doesn't have a WL or would not fit the criteria it is going to be obvious to the target. This is especially important if your target usually joins in the flash mob. This name should be distributed to the mob along with the target name. Just make sure your email makes it obvious who the real target is. This has been confusing to a few mobbers.
• It is important to be involved in the thread on the 8th of the month. You should post the honoree's name in the first post as close to 10 PM Australia time as you can. As this is a community event, we don't want to leave any time zone out. However, no one expects you to stay up all night to achieve this. If you are not sure, ask me.
• It is a nice touch to be able to type up something about the honoree and why they were chosen. Include it in the first post when the name is announced. Don't forget to change the subject on the first post to include the honoree's name.
One last note... Don't forget to keep up with the Mob thread for a few days after the event, there are always stragglers. It is important to acknowledge every creation and gift from the community.
I am also going to include the rules here as well for your convenience. Please remember I am here to assist you both during the month and on event day. It is important to me that we stay true to the original intent of the Flash Mob, and that it continues to be a fun community event.
Rules:
1. The purpose of the flash mob gifters is to honor a member of community who has shown great kindness and generosity to their fellow simmers. An ideal candidate is helpful and active in the forums, as a whole, and does not need to be limited to the GG forum. This should be a person who has limited access to, or limited availability to buy SimPoints as that was immskayleah's original intent.
2. All gifts are allowed. This includes items from the store, custom creations (sims, homes, community lots, and recolor's), stories and poems. It can now even be free gifts from the new in-game option. Personal messages to the honoree the day of are also encouraged.
3. The Flash Mob will convene on the 8th of every month, at 8:00 P.M. in your local time zone. This will provide a full day of gifting for the honoree and allow everyone in the community to participate.
4. There will be 2 hosts every month. This allows for the demands of RL, and more communication with the community on the event.
5. Once you have been a host, you must wait a full 6 months before you can throw your name into the lottery again. The only exception is if interest in hosting is down, then previous hosts can step in to keep the "Mob" in session.
6. It is the job of the hosts to work together to create a new thread for the month titled *Month* Flash Mob Gifters. This will allow the community to always find the thread and get involved. It is important to keep this thread active and visible to ensure a successful mob turnout.
7. The hosts will work together to choose an appropriate target. Be prepared to share this info with anyone who would like to participate in the gifting. A temporary email works nicely, but the manner in which you get this information to participants is up to you.
8. On the 8th day of the month the hosts will oversee the Flash Mob thread and provide any necessary assistance.
9. And the most important rule is for everyone to have fun together as a community!
There have been some names put forward in the past for potential honorees that were also great targets. These are people to consider if you are having trouble coming up with an honoree on your own. *I have not checked recent WL activity so you will need to confirm that they still have a sizable WL if you want to consider anyone from this list*
@SimLibby I have to start using a calculator. I don't like the uneven numbers and I added them late at night. I will fix it promptly. Also, please do not feel bad about speaking up. Someone has to check the math.
Thank you for fixing it. I tend to look at the winnings after each round because for me that feels like icing on the cake (to see I'm one step closer to what I'm saving up for). I'm glad to hear you don't mind me speaking up about it because here is some more : I think you still forgot to count the winnings on Ari's scavenger hunt with Sara's total. She had 1950 + 150 Ari + 150 Coasterboi + 75 nominee = 2325 instead of 2175. It looks like you only counted + 150 Coasterboi + 75 nominee = 2175 SP. I have some screens with the totals and dates of editing (I would hate it if I would be mistaken about this and accidentally would give you wrong information):
Before Ari:
After Ari: edit to add: with me only counted + 70 instead of + 225 as described in my postbut you fixed that as seen in the next screen which also includes the winnings on Coasterboi. Sara's total has not changed with the winnings on Ari's entry.
After Coasterboi: Sara's total has changed but only with + 150 Coasterboi + 75 nominee.
I noticed that I'm still missing some simpoints from my bank. I should have 2 475 sp afted Pnoles but I only have 2 325. I should have 1950 + 150 Ari + 150 Coasterboi + 75 nominee +150 Pnoles = 2 475
If my today's entry on thesims3boy is valid it adds 150 sp to my bank so I would have 2 625 sp in my bank after today's entry.
Here are my fndings in today's scavenger hunt with thesims3boy, the first person to host the Flash Mob twice (source for this: his page on thesims.com).

Please correct me if I'm wrong about this.
Okay ladies. You made me go back through the entire thread and double check everyone's points.
@sara4562 your points were incorrect and should be as follows:
30 entries x 150 sp = 4500
Bonus points = 150 (because it was easier for me to count - Pg 3)
Nominated 3 x 75 = 225 (by SimLibby)
Sub Total 4875
Entry 1&2 gifted - 300 (Entry #1 gifted by me on Pg 1. Entry #2 gifted by Gr1zzly on Pg 2. You asked to stack after that on Pg 2)
Sunlit Tides - 2450 (pg 10)
Thanks @ErnesaT for sorting that out and getting back to us about it. So we where all off when it came to Sara's total. I'm glad it's all clear now and we can put it behind us.
EDIT:
Sara, I'm sorry for my mistake and for you ending up with less SP than I (and therefore: we) thought you had.
@SimLibby - I always love when you include extra info you find. I find myself wandering down and memory lane and seeing lots of avatars that I miss seeing now. I spend way too much time going off and following links, but I really enjoy the time spent. I ended up reading Pnole's blog her page on one of my many "squirrel"s.

It is no problem. I realized what happened when I went back through each entry. Neither of us accounted for the fact that she got gifted for the first 2 entries.

5. I noticed that stikystuff has a lot of recolor in her buildings. There are a lot of recolors just in this picture but I will only mention Haute Hacienda Kitchen- Old Town Refrigerator which is recolored blue.
Here are my fndings in today's scavenger hunt with stickystuff. I have reached the same conclusion as Sara - it has to be stikystuff - because of this: In this thread the current FS is named the same as ErnesaT called the FS at this moment. But then stikystuff left a message to thank the OP. Additional: on the old TS3 forum there is one stickystuff12, with no activity on that page what so ever, and nothing in their Studio as well. Conclusion: is has to be stikystuff.
Glad you like the extra's @ErnesaT and @ciane. When I type this, I got this image in my head which you sometimes see in movies. Long ago, where somebody yells: "Extra, extra" when selling the newspaper. So "Extra, extra ..." I stumbled upon this thread ErnesaT and had to think of you being in the market for a new siggy not that long ago. Both myself as Ciane responded in the thread you opened because of that. Seaben made you a nice new siggy. I think you can't use this thread anymore because, even if you would want another siggy, Stikystuff last activity on this forum was February 2017. https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/560134/stikystuffs-signatures-banners-open-calling-mashellestevens/p1
5. In the topic A LITTLE GIFT FOR GEMINIAGRE Stikystuff made a house called ‘Hippie Heaven’ which is not available on the Exchange anymore. In this house recoloring was done, like this couch which is recolored in blue (original color is brown).
Loved another walk down memory lane. The user names was a great read. I always enjoyed finding out what's behind a user name. And I loved the 10x10 build contest as I really love the challenges of tiny living shows and contests. (I just recently made a 3x3 totally playable sim house on a 10x10 lot in my game but couldn't upload as my studio is full and I always have to go through and delete old stuff to upload anything new.) Any way, again... thanks for the hours you took from life!!! I enjoyed them a lot!
thanks for sorting out the sim point balance @ernesat to tell you the truth i dont check it everyday i check it about every week and dont try to make sure the points are counted right i just check to see how much i have

Thank you but I wanted to make sure everyone had the points they were supposed to have.
All the links from the old forums are broken because EA shifted the separate forums into one big forum as sub-forums. I had to just go page by page through the thread and follow the upload links to the my pages to see the homes. Most of the pics have been removed from the places they had been uploaded to, but some were still there (and some had those photobucket water marks). Still, there were a lot of great lots there.
I had a typo (or an unhelpful auto-speller correcting what I wanted to what it thought I might want.

You both were really good with this one. Pnoles did/does not build. She was primarily a gifter.
@SimLibby you dug up a thread I almost forgot I created. Flash Mob did get it's name from Pnoles. Goddess created, and I enhanced and updated, an entire guide that went to every host after they were chosen.
Because several of us were in a position to gift big, we often received friend requests (and some stalkers) who plagued us for entire worlds. I stopped gifting and started sponsoring other people's contests. After a while, I completely left the forum.

Activity does not need to be isolated to the GG, and I would encourage you to find someone who is active in other parts of the forums as well. Mobbers are more likely to get involved if they know the target.

This is especially important if your target usually joins in the flash mob. This name should be distributed to the mob along with the target name. Just make sure your email makes it obvious who the real target is. This has been confusing to a few mobbers.
• It is important to be involved in the thread on the 8th of the month. You should post the honoree's name in the first post as close to 10 PM Australia time as you can. As this is a community event, we don't want to leave any time zone out. However, no one expects you to stay up all night to achieve this. If you are not sure, ask me.
• It is a nice touch to be able to type up something about the honoree and why they were chosen. Include it in the first post when the name is announced. Don't forget to change the subject on the first post to include the honoree's name.
One last note... Don't forget to keep up with the Mob thread for a few days after the event, there are always stragglers. It is important to acknowledge every creation and gift from the community.
I am also going to include the rules here as well for your convenience. Please remember I am here to assist you both during the month and on event day. It is important to me that we stay true to the original intent of the Flash Mob, and that it continues to be a fun community event.
Rules:
1. The purpose of the flash mob gifters is to honor a member of community who has shown great kindness and generosity to their fellow simmers. An ideal candidate is helpful and active in the forums, as a whole, and does not need to be limited to the GG forum. This should be a person who has limited access to, or limited availability to buy SimPoints as that was immskayleah's original intent.
2. All gifts are allowed. This includes items from the store, custom creations (sims, homes, community lots, and recolor's), stories and poems. It can now even be free gifts from the new in-game option. Personal messages to the honoree the day of are also encouraged.
3. The Flash Mob will convene on the 8th of every month, at 8:00 P.M. in your local time zone. This will provide a full day of gifting for the honoree and allow everyone in the community to participate.
4. There will be 2 hosts every month. This allows for the demands of RL, and more communication with the community on the event.
5. Once you have been a host, you must wait a full 6 months before you can throw your name into the lottery again. The only exception is if interest in hosting is down, then previous hosts can step in to keep the "Mob" in session.
6. It is the job of the hosts to work together to create a new thread for the month titled *Month* Flash Mob Gifters. This will allow the community to always find the thread and get involved. It is important to keep this thread active and visible to ensure a successful mob turnout.
7. The hosts will work together to choose an appropriate target. Be prepared to share this info with anyone who would like to participate in the gifting. A temporary email works nicely, but the manner in which you get this information to participants is up to you.
8. On the 8th day of the month the hosts will oversee the Flash Mob thread and provide any necessary assistance.
9. And the most important rule is for everyone to have fun together as a community!
There have been some names put forward in the past for potential honorees that were also great targets. These are people to consider if you are having trouble coming up with an honoree on your own. *I have not checked recent WL activity so you will need to confirm that they still have a sizable WL if you want to consider anyone from this list*

Hi @ErnesaT!
I noticed that I'm still missing some simpoints from my bank. I should have 2 475 sp afted Pnoles but I only have 2 325. I should have 1950 + 150 Ari + 150 Coasterboi + 75 nominee +150 Pnoles = 2 475
If my today's entry on thesims3boy is valid it adds 150 sp to my bank so I would have 2 625 sp in my bank after today's entry.
Please correct me if I'm wrong about this.
Here are my fndings in today's scavenger hunt with thesims3boy, the first person to host the Flash Mob twice (source for this: his page on thesims.com).

7. This week both myself as Seaben where nominated twice, except Sara. That’s why I would like to nominate Sara again if that's OK.
Okay ladies. You made me go back through the entire thread and double check everyone's points.
@SimLibby your points are correct.
@sara4562 your points were incorrect and should be as follows:
30 entries x 150 sp = 4500
Bonus points = 150 (because it was easier for me to count - Pg 3)
Nominated 3 x 75 = 225 (by SimLibby)
Sub Total 4875
Entry 1&2 gifted - 300 (Entry #1 gifted by me on Pg 1. Entry #2 gifted by Gr1zzly on Pg 2. You asked to stack after that on Pg 2)
Sunlit Tides - 2450 (pg 10)
Remaining Balance = 2125 sp
@seaben your points are as follows:
13 entries x 150 = 1950
custom signature 500 (Pg 7)
Nominated 3 x 75 225
Sub Total 2675
Steampunk items
3 x 25 each - 75 (pg 4)
2 x 68 & 1 x 81 - 217 (pg 5 top)
Remaining Balance = 2383 sp
EDIT:
Sara, I'm sorry for my mistake and for you ending up with less SP than I (and therefore: we) thought you had.

It is no problem. I realized what happened when I went back through each entry. Neither of us accounted for the fact that she got gifted for the first 2 entries.
I do the same thing.

7. I nominate stikystuff https://store.thesims3.com/myWishlist.html?persona=stikystuff
Here are my fndings in today's scavenger hunt with stickystuff. I have reached the same conclusion as Sara - it has to be stikystuff - because of this: In this thread the current FS is named the same as ErnesaT called the FS at this moment. But then stikystuff left a message to thank the OP. Additional: on the old TS3 forum there is one stickystuff12, with no activity on that page what so ever, and nothing in their Studio as well. Conclusion: is has to be stikystuff.
Glad you like the extra's @ErnesaT and @ciane. When I type this, I got this image in my head which you sometimes see in movies. Long ago, where somebody yells: "Extra, extra" when selling the newspaper. So "Extra, extra ..."

Why not put the old nominations in a spoiler tag.
I do too. I loved that tiny house build but the links don't seem to work.
Thank you but I wanted to make sure everyone had the points they were supposed to have.
You are so helpful. I did not even think about that. *rushes off to fix the issue*
