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. Hashtag: #fireflycolors
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.
@JojoMOMSTER and I wrote different parts on this month’s brief because a colors and interests challenge was her idea.
Any décor style
Base game ONLY just for this month!!!
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.”

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!

Your shell for the collab is very great! @JojoMOMSTER You have designed each area so very well! I am looking forward to seeing everyone’s furnished rooms/areas!
Beautiful house @JojoMOMSTER ! I love all the little details! Thanks so much for doing another great shell!
Thanks a lot @leashahampton ! I'm glad you could see part of my stream last night! It will be awesome to see the room (s) you enter for this challenge !
By the way, the bug about telling you that packs were used that were not is still active, I think. I didn't use any packs, except for the holiday pack, and it told me I used Get to Work!!!
Your playroom WIP is so very sweet! @coolsim9999999 The variety of colours is very lovely! The colourful bunnies, girafffe, heart teddies on the piano are very cute! The tea party table is very nice! Lovely colourful wall cabinets! The patterned flooring and the wall mural are very nice! Kids will enjoy playing chess, doing artwork on the activities table and playing with the dollhouse. They will like using the science lab. Very nice bookcase corner nook.
Thank you @rosemow , @coolsim9999999 and @JojoMOMSTER for the lovely wishes for my new home.
Getting the keys in 2 days, my hubby will get things ready in our new place the next two weeks, while I stay in our current place so our son can finish his school year here and I can finish packing and cleaning.

I was just writing about when this month's stream would be. There was a heatwave here, so, I had to postpone until this Friday.
Thank you so much for making such wonderful rooms for the jungle vacation house!
