this is the TINIEST shell challenge ever...

Let's try a new shell challenge: tiny edition!

HOW TO DO SHELL CHALLENGE:
1. Download this tiny lot and turn it into anything you want! You can make a house, community lot, literally anything!
2. The only rule is that you can't change any of the existing walls. My exterior walls must remain, but you can add interior walls, a floorplan, half walls/fences, roofs, patios, platforms, etc.
3. Literally ANYTHING goes. Just don't change my walls.
4. Post to #SimsieLilShell when you're done. I'll tour them on stream on on April 10th!

This video is family friendly, but The Sims 4 is rated T for Teen and this video is intended for an audience aged 13 and up.

I just wanted to mention that Adult sims can use/write in a journal and "rant about stress" or "scribble angrily" the same as children and teens to help their moods, so a desk still makes sense. :)

she always says she‘s sorry but still puts us through the pain xD

[niikolettedraws]

As a seasoned historical save player (which includes off-the-grid + simple living), there is sooo much to do off the grid ! Surviving, ofc, but you can paint, play music, read, do woodworking, flower-arranging, gardening, chess, fishing, knitting, and there's no autonomous video games/tv <3 Also there are a couple bathtub/shower combos that are functional off the grid, but I don't usually use those so idk if the shower part actually works lol. There is a 'warm up' interaction on the fireplace, but I don't know if it helps with the cold moodlet during winter. I don't know if you can knit without llama wool, but for story purposes I always get the correctly dyed wool before I knit. Also there are off the grid stoves. I use a mod for a water pump to get water, and for like a computer object that looks like a piece of parchment paper.

never finished a shell challenge before but I will be trying this one because I thrive in building small spaces lol

[BizzieBee]

I think this is one of my favorite Simsie builds - I feel like she really went out of her comfort zone with this style and all that clutter, and it really paid off!

[cupiditied]

simsie i have to be honest... this is probably my favorite build you've ever done. this is literally my exact build style: small, cluttered old looking homes

[Cocoecake]

Not all the "off the grid" items are tagged correctly! Cottage living has a small chandelier that works off the grid but it's not under that tab- works great for ceiling lighting

[msepiphqny]

As a player who LOVES playing off-the-grid I adore this. They do get cold and hot so either changing their clothes or giving your sim a fireplace helps them out. And yes you do need wool. Playing off-the-grid is so fun, literally your only restriction is like no tv or computer, that's it. I like to struggle in the sims. I'd love to see you play off-the-grid

[lindenbug]

When you added the easel I immediately thought of the woman in Kiki’s Delivery Service who lives out in the middle of nowhere and paints. So now I’m daydreaming about playing the sims off the grid as her. I’m usually not that enthusiastic about “actual” sims gameplay but that sounds fun

[ImaLooker]

You can definitely cross stitch off the grid (edit: and with simple living enabled) even without the wool, it just costs more

[lilensik]

Don't apologize, Kayla - we love your shell challenges!

[selkiefluff]

When Kayla says things like "you can't really have kids/farm animals in here" she really underestimates my inner desire to go ham with move objects on and cram sims and things in the smallest, coziest little nooks. You can totally have a kid if you scoot on the bed and sleep with the parent, for example! CHAOS! <3

[hayleylucas]

I use the Sims when I'm making a floorplan for my houses in the books I'm writing. This one really reminds me of the post apocalyptic romance I'm writing at the moment

[redbluestar]

I'm working on my shell now, and you're right, it is tiny! I originally started on the same lot you used and was going to make a house, but then changed my mind and I'm now working on a bay-side restaurant in San Sequoia. I love the cabin by the way!

[heather_bee]

I am obsessed with these kind of weird builds like off-the-grid cabins, abandoned warehouses, etc. Really fun for telling unique stories 😃

[harley.louise]

you should do a “trying to survive in the wilderness” series with stanley on this lot 8:17

[birdiegreenwell]

a mini simple living + off-the-grid let’s play series that starts with one teen sim and ends when that one sim dies would be so fun to watch and for you to do- i think we’d all appreciate that

[ChrissiesCorner]

Ooooh seeing what you turned yours into has made me really want to give the whole "off-the-grid & simple living" challenge thing a go for this shell, but adding my own twist to it...🤔😍

[amberconnour]

Never done a shell challenge before…… may make an exception with this one!

[skyechimes]

Sometimes for off the grid lots, I use the geothermal lot trait, that generates power as well as warms pools, and then I build a “pool” that looks natural and add a debug water wheel. I will use that to power like 1 thing. So sometimes the typewriter pc, sometimes a ceiling fan, etc.
