Fun Stuff:

• Community Challenges! - I have all three of my possible challenges up and ready for funding (i.e. wasting your points on... ) Feel free to fund whichever you want first, or keep things wild and interesting by funding all three each day. Basically, you're able to spend a maximum of 2k channel points per stream day on each of these challenges.
  • Chat dictates my build - Once this is funded, I will schedule a special stream where chat gets to vote on every little thing about my build. Type, size, packs used, themes, and more!
  • Community Games Night - Once funded, I schedule a special game-night stream where we all get together to play party games like Jackbox, Gartic Phone, and others. Can't promise it'll stay safe for work! *grin*
  • Put Thrall on the Chaos Wheel - Once funded, I schedule a special gameplay stream where chat redeems wheel spins to add chaos. Wheel will be designed by me with lots of chaotic things to put my sims through. (if you're interested in what kind of things will be on the wheel, I'll be using this reddit post as my inspiration: https://www.reddit.com/r/thesims/comments/7gxyl7/random_sim_events_list/)
  • After these three are done, the next challenge(s) to be added are:
    • My new Homes for Gnomes Village project: Another Community Challenge that, once funded, will be an interactive Shell challenge and special build a long stream (starting in August at the earliest) where I will give everyone participating (whether there for the build a long or just signed up via the Google Doc I will set up) a 15 by 15 outdoor room with a shell on it to decorate based on prompts I will be providing. Themes will be based on the base game gnomes in Sims 4, and the shells will be built by me to match. I will spin a wheel for each participant live on stream to see which gnome and shell you get, and your job will be to decorate it in the month following. Lastly, I will put together all builds into a huge downloadable Gnome Village lot (or lots if we have enough participants) and we will schedule a tour of all the builds! Again, you'll have a full month to put your build together as a participant, and they will all be "tiny homes", so this should not be too time-consuming or difficult for anyone. Depending on how this works (or doesn't), I may do more challenges based on this general idea.
    • Sims Murder Party: 8 Rainbow sims competing to see who lives the longest. Chat redeems to add either helpful or murderous items to my build, as well as other chaos redeems. This idea comes from BritishSimerTime's stream - and as a chat participant.. it was SO much fun.
• Also:

• Current Shell Challenge:

• There is also another puzzle-type shell/build-a-long up, feel free to jump in! Rules are as follows: Download lot from this hashtag on the gallery: #picknicbasket - Designed as a choose your own size shell. The only piece you MUST use is the rounded deck, but it can be merged with other pieces so long as the outside rounded edge is still clearly visible. Your prompt: Build a home for picnicking with a large deck area (covered or not) outside. Choose at least 6 rooms from the given 25 (plus deck), & build a home or venue. Adding walls & changing to spandrel fence or half wall is ok. Must include a water feature. Tours: THIS WEEK - Aug 14 (a Saturday, starting at 1PM)
