[All Games] MTS February Challenge: Ms. Crumplebottom's Hideaway
Ms. Crumplebottom is starting to feel her age; Her notoriously sharp eyesight just isn’t what it used to be and just last year, she pulled something in her shoulder while employing a particularly lethal handbag blow upon an unsuspecting young man’s head as he got handsy with his date at the Love Day Parade.
She tried everything, from removing her favourite brick from her handbag, to pointedly tutting with disgust instead of resorting to violence, but nothing worked. Ms. Crumplebottom has come to the conclusion that she will have to move out of her lace-curtained townhouse and far, far away from the loose lips and loose morals of civilisation. It’s the only way.
Task:
Build a house for an uptight, curmudgeonly elder (it doesn't have to be Ms. Crumplebottom, but she certainly does make things interesting!). Think floral print, potpourri , mothballs and cookie tins that only contain sewing equipment and despair.
Specifications:
Game - Any!
Lot Size - 30x30 lot at the largest(appears as 3x3 etc in some versions) or any of the smaller sizes. The smaller and more hidden away, the better!
Funds - §50k
Rules:
1. No electrical items other than lighting, kitchen appliances and perhaps a phone.
2. Decorate in a fussy, dated fashion. Clean, modern lines are not appreciated.
Bonus Challenge:
A Room for Mr Tibbles
Furnish a room of the house for your sim’s old, cantankerous feline friend.
Optional Challenges:
These are for our seasoned builders and those who love a challenge, but they're by no means necessary. Remember to tell us if you followed one of these!
1. Limited Funds: Ms. Crumplebottom was sued by Dina Caliente after a particularly embarrassing encounter when she was out on the town with one of her conquests. After paying up, she only has §30k left to build her home.
2. No CC: Ms. Crumplebottom hates anything new and some of this darnfangled CC is simply too shiny and modern for her tastes! Build and furnish from the game only!
This is just for fun, so there are no winners or losers! Once you're done, all you need to do is post photos of your completed hideaway in this thread
This challenge will run from the 16th of February to the 15th of March, after which point it will move to the challenge section where you are still welcome to try it out, but you won't be eligible for the challenge achievement sticker
