The new Monopoly house and build challenge looks great! The roof design reflecting items from the game is creatively great!
The monopoly man is handsome.
There will be 10 rooms to decorate. I'll do the yard, and the 4 tiny rooms that are 2X2 and the upstairs hall (game board empty space). I'll put the list up today, and @JojoMOMSTER will help with this challenge, and she'll do shells starting next time.
February room challenge and brief:
Construct a room from the house shell for the Monopoly Man as if he’s living in the game Monopoly. Use details from the game the room that you choose. The Monopoly Man wants to be a five star property owner, and he’s a genius, materialistic overachiever --- and of course, he’s business savvy! Hashtag: #fireflymonopoly Requirement this time: most rooms are black and white to go with the outlines of the game board spaces, however, using property colors for pops of color or to make it have more Monopoly related details is fine.
I've listed the property colors below.
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: #fireflymonopoly 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: #fireflymonopoly, 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!

The forum has disabled the feature that allows me to change any information on p. 1 of my thread. Therefore, please refer to the above post for the new challenge details.
The Colab house is in the gallery under the hashtag: fireflymonopoly. It's called Monopoly Colab, and it's from today. Please let us know which room you want. Thanks!
Thank you very much for taking the Electric Company kitchen @Lissykin !
Electric company (roll both dice --- so between 2 and 12) to see how much you "pay Four times the amount shown on the dice" when you roll, so that would be a cool detail to add to your kitchen however you would like to do it. (like 4 of an item that relates to a kitchen --- since if one utility is owned then it's 4 times the amount you roll.
Also, if both utilities are owned (water works and the electric company), then it's "10 times the amount shown on the dice."
Maybe you could represent both the 4X and 10X dice thing in your kitchen however you want to do it.
P.S. Before there was The Sims 4 for me, there was Monopoly....if you can't already tell...haha
I wanted to extend an invitation to a few more people because I'm starting my challenge thread again, and I've added some of you whom I think may like to join in my challenge!

Hi @SimTresa ! Welcome to my challenge! Thanks so much for wanting to participate ! Yes, you may have the Investor Study for the Monopoly Man (Indiana) !
Thank you very much for the invite @coolsim9999999 This is a very nice challenge, I'd like to participate
I'd like to make one of the Kid's Room on the second floor,
I'd like to make the one which is located on the "backyard's side" of the house, but I'm not sure which one is it: is it "B&O Railroad --- Kids' Room" or
"Short Line --- Kids' Room" ?
And how about the color: which color is meant to be the color choice in that room? Or can I choose the color for the room from the list (meaning, choosing some area and that area is representing the color, like in the list) ? Sorry for asking these questions,
as you have written the brief so well, so it should be clear, but I'm a little confused: my bad
