    The theme for March:
    Full brief coming tomorrow or the next day.


    hashtag: #fireflypacks

    This time: Only Packs allowed:
    Get To Work, Bowling Night Stuff and My first Pet Stuff were all released in March of different years. March Kits: Country Kitchen, Throwback Fit Kit and Bust the Dust

    Basegame is welcome, as long as it matches the basic style.


    The house will be in Mangolia Promenade.

    More about the March challenge:
    In a small lot in a l bed, 1 bath mobile home with a science, bowling and hamster second mobile home a scientist is secretly a hamster lady in a bowling league.

    The kitchen should be a country kitchen from the kit with a small vacuum/ hand vac closet somewhere in the mobile home.

    More about the lot's occupant:
    Her scientific breakthrough: invented the rodent rabid fever cure (both serums for that) after she researched the disease on the computer and found out her rodent may have ben exposed to it when he went to space in his rocket! She found out that if she gets on his nerves and he bites her, then, she could die without the serums --- and turn into a ghost hamster, herself!!! Her clothes and kitchen are stuck in the last century, but her scientific ideas are cutting edge! No one except her bowling league knows that she has a hamster or knows how to bowl and win with a score of 300 (perfect score, I think)! She wears a hamster costume to some parties with her bowling league!

    Hey everybody,

    Sorry about the delay.

    I'm finally going to nominate everyone for a Maxis fave for the February rooms.

    Then, I'll post the March brief tonight, as well.

    However, I have to postpone the February stream to Monday, March 21 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. EST.
    I still don't feel up to it.
    So, no Monday, March 7 stream.

    The March stream will still be on Monday, March 28 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. EST.

    So that's 2 streams 2 Mondays in a row!

    Any décor style

    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: #fireflypacks
    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:
    #fireflypacks, 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: #fireflypacks

    Deadline: Sunday, March 27, 2022 by 11:59 p.m. EST
    Tours on my Twitch stream: Monday, March 28, 2022 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. EST
    Any budget – Residential Lot Just This Time, and base game and the following kits ONLY:
    Get To Work, Bowling Night Stuff and My first Pet Stuff were all released in March of different years. March Kits: Country Kitchen, Throwback Fit Kit and Bust the Dust

    Basegame is welcome, as long as it matches the basic style of at least some of those packs.

    You may use cheats to build or for your Sims to play test your build more efficiently.

    Your science and rodent room WIP looks great! @coolsim9999999 :) Very nice science themed furnishings and machines. The computer used and the floor pattern suits a science room well. The hamster tunnels on the wall are great! The hamster chair is a great touch! The ufo is great in the room.Very great name of the simray!
    Your sim is lovely :) Her hamster party outfit is great! Very nice athletics outfit for when she goes bowling.
  • JojoMOMSTERJojoMOMSTER Posts: 1,965 Member
