I LOVE this build. I originally started a different B & B for this build (look for my Lighthouse Cove B&B) – but it was clear I wasn’t going to be able to hit the required budget goal, so I literally started over. I was never sorry, because it turned out beautifully.

This couple was created from several prompts, and are really cute. I’m including both prompts so you can see what they are.

Not much to say about this guy other than that I had fun with him. He’s colorful, he’s loud, and he’s ready to party!

Techno music/dance/rave/nightclub

• Sim Creation: Make a sim that lives for the music. Be colorful!
• For the Build: Build them a house or a Nightclub. Make sure to have a place for the dancing and music – use DJ booths and dance floors if you have Get Together.

This “day” has been sitting in my “to publish” list since before today’s platform update was announced. I hadn’t gotten around to publishing it .. and then the new pack and patch were announced, and all I could think was how much better the house would be if I updated it with platforms. So I put this on the back burner, and worked on later builds. So poor Han-Gyeol Park has been uploaded and waiting for his day in the spotlight for quite a while. Story-wise, all he wants is to get into a K-Pop band, or make it big on his own, and to that end, he left home early to try to get to his goals.

The Non-colors: white, black, brown, grey

• Sim Creation: Make a monochrome sim in one of the above colors. If you’re feeling ambitious, make more than one of the colors.
• For the Build: Build them a house/room(s) to match the color you picked.

Meet Bert. From my description: “Known as “Strange Bert” to those around StrangerVille, he lives in the trailer park and avoids human contact if at all possible. No one knows what exactly he does in his mismatched, dingy trailer, but they avoid him all the same. His only company is his tubby, troublesome cat, Taco. It’s tough being different!” This guy is a character, and, as “easy” as his house was to make, there was something about it that bothered me. When I was going through pictures, I realized that I had forgotten Bert’s glasses on his athletic outfit.. which was bad. There’s no way he could have seen without them. So I loaded up my game to fix them.. and three hours later.. I still hadn’t gotten around to it. My hubby finally put his finger on what the house build was missing…. Bert’s pride and joy. The only thing he ever spent any money on (Other than his cowboy boots). I’ll let you scroll down to find out what that was.

Weird Sim/Mismatched House

• Sim Creation: Go wild. Make the weirdest sim you possibly can.
• For the Build: Build him or her (or them) a house in which nothing matches. Purposely try to make a horrible build. It’s harder than you’d think.

This was a fun theme. I had a little backstory in mind when I made my alien girl – which you can see in the screenshot of the gallery upload. Basically, I decided she had crash landed a spaceship here, and really only wanted to be able to fit in – but kept going about things the wrong way. She ends up seeing herself as more human than alien, which is why she avoids the alien “uniform” when out of disguise. Her disguise is far from flawless, too, because she’s trying so very hard to fit in, but just doesn’t know how.

Alien

• Sim Creation: Create an alien Sim and their disguise. If you don’t have Get to Work, make an alien-looking Sim.
• For the Build: Make them an alien-themed home base somewhere in the Sim world other than on Sixam. Use debug cheats to get to the alien plants and decor.

It took me quite a bit to decide on a cartoon that I actually watched and/or connected with as a kid, because to be honest, I wasn’t really allowed to watch cartoons. So what I did see wasn’t until college or was at a friend’s house, so I was never really able to get invested into any cartoon. I did finally settle on Scooby-Doo, and then I really sat down with some photos of the characters and made them – at least facially – as closely as I could. Clothes was a bit harder, but I did really make an effort to get it at least in the same fashion family as what they wore. They’re all teens, because that’s what they are in the show, and I tried to pick appropriate traits. Scooby was the hardest to make, mostly because I actually painted him to match his markings, and I had to find photos that showed all sides online.

Cartoon

• Sim(s) Creation: Take one of your favorite cartoons as inspiration and create a sim or sim-family to represent character(s) from the cartoon.
• For the Build: Make a house or venue (or room) based on the world of your cartoon. Make it as unrealistic as you want.

I named my sim Tiana West, and I made her as a young adult first, then copied her and changed her to the other ages.

One Sim, Different Ages

• Sims Creation: Make a sim of any age, then save and copy that sim and change the age. Goal is to make 6 sims (toddler, child, teen, young adult, adult, elder) based on the same sim. Try to make them look as different in style as possible without changing their facial features and body types.
• For the Build: Build a house for your “family” of six sims: try to give each their own room to match their hair and clothing style.
• For Rooms: make six different rooms as above, but they don’t need to be arranged into a functional house.

This is the beginning of my trip through the 100DayCreativity Challenge I wrote. I’m going through them in “order”, so this is “Day 1” – Zombie theme.

Zombie/Graveyard

• Sim(s) Creation: Type of Zombie is completely up to you, as well as whether you want a single sim or a zombie horde.
• For the Build: a suitably run-down home or church-type building with a ruined graveyard on the side. 
• For a Room: a graveyard room for outside of any home/venue.

I spent quite a lot of time getting ready for my history Challenge on Sulani, and literally built the whole world from scratch. Initially, I had planned to download some from gallery, but it didn’t turn out that way. I had the hardest time building the sims for this (creating sims is REALLY not my thing), but I got them all done and moved in. Now all I have to do is start playing!
