I host Shell Challenges (or build or decorating challenges) every month on my Twitch channel. Tours are held on the first or second Friday of each month (check schedule for the exact date, but it’s always a Wednesday) – and you are ALWAYS welcome to do an older shell challenge, I will tour it the next tour date after you finish it and let me know about it – even if it’s WAY past due date. So, if you see an older challenge that inspires you, get to it!
That being said, I wanted a place for just the post archives on Shell Challenges, so that’s how this page came about. If you, instead, want to browse each year in chronological order, use the menu above to get to the individual pages! Please, Enjoy!
The Shell Challenges section of this website is now – finally – current again. I will try to remember to keep it current in the future! If you’re interested, I have added information about my current year-long challenge – 2024 ISpy House. And in no way do you need to be a builder to participate. It’s all about decorating and having a good time hiding things for me to find! See here: 2024 Shells.

2023 has been a good year for shell challenges for me. I have had several that really inspired people.. me included, to join in on the fun. We started with a trio of A-Frames that people could choose between, and we will end the year with our traditional Advent Challenge. I already have it planned out at the time of this writing (Oct 2023), and am really excited to see what everyone comes up with for it. As for the future of shell challenges from me, I assure you – they’re not stopping anytime soon. I already have a whole themed 11 part challenge designed for next year.. and am SUPER excited to launch it come the beginning of 2024. Stay tuned!!
Reminder: ANY shell of mine that you complete and I tour on stream will get you 5 bonus Daily Teas (currency used for getting real stickers in the mail!). I tour any shell of mine for free on any stream day that I’m playing Sims 4!
(more…)By 2022, my shell challenges were well and truly established. Each and every one has a little bit of a puzzle to solve – whether it be a theme, or a story to come up with, or the shell itself being some sort of a puzzle.. I try to keep you all on your toes. Whenever possible, I attempt to do my own shell challenges, so I’m not just putting out challenges I can’t or don’t want to do. (Although there are definitely months that I don’t have the inspiration right then – or the time – to complete my own shell challenges.) 2022 also marks the third Advent shell challenge – which has also become a bit of a tradition. This year, it was a big Victorian Dollhouse to decorate (it’s at the bottom of the page, if you’re interested in it). That all being said, enjoy – whether you’re here out of curiosity, or just looking for inspiration for your next build!

(more…)It wasn’t very long after I started streaming that I started hosting Shell Challenges. There’s been one nearly every month that I’ve been streaming. Then, when I migrated my website in October 2023, I decided that I wanted to keep a full record of all my shell challenges… starting from the very beginning.. so here is where they start.
At the very start, these were just “normal” shell challenges… but by “One of Each” .. which was, technically, just a side challenge – I had started toying around with the brain-teaser idea. Very soon after, it became a trademark part of my shell challenges. Anyway, enjoy this trip down memory lane!!

(more…)3 Shells, 3 different sizes – pick whichever one you like best!! Standard Shell rules apply – no changing exterior walls, interior can be changed however you like. Styles and colors can be changed. HINT: move the bottom layer of roofs away from the wall before doing any interior work, or you’ll lose the roofs. (not on large size) They can always be drug back to the wall later! #thrallshell17 Due: February 1st 2023
I will be continuing to keep the discord events schedule updated as much as I can (or remember to), but this year, I plan to post schedules on a monthly basis – and most of them will be pretty much the same. If there are major changes on any given week, I will notify on twitter or discord. Additionally, I will be launching my next shell challenge (teaser on the graphic below) on the 1st, so watch for that post!
I did intend to start Asylum back up this month, but I think what I’ll do is set up a promotion graphic to try to get some people to make sims for it (because as we all know, I hate making sims!).. and I’ll go back to finish my Gen 3 of the RainbowSins challenge for January. As soon as we hit Gen 4, I will then start up the next season of Asylum (hopefully with a bunch of sims I didn’t have to make!) My guess is, it will start in February, but I will keep you all informed as to launch dates as I get closer to it.
Also: I do still have some Channel Point builds to do, Furnishing the Ugly Build Challenge, as well as the Restrictions and the Backwards Challenges. I also want to finish the Serious, Silly, and Spooky builds from my birthday stream, so it may be a few weeks before I get back to Supernatural Saturday. Sorry for those (including me) who really like it!
One last note.. what do you all think of the new schedule format? I wanted to make it easy to see which game was where, and try to make it so that the schedule is consistent from week to week. Obviously, if I need a Mental Health Day, I will take it, and let you know on discord and Twitter!
If you did not notice, My schedule is now set up on the “Events” at the top left of the Discord, taken automatically from my Google Calendar, and will reflect last-minute cancellations (as well as me posting about them on Twitter). Hopefully, this will make it a bit easier to know what’s coming!

Lastly, I want to highlight some upcoming dates (posting these on discord, too): (new ones or changes are starred)
