Fun and Free Gingerbread House Challenge

JHartEllis · January 2022

As part of my 12 Days of Christmas event, I've been allowing people to take decorating control of my Stillwaters Retreat to rearrange the provided items into a gingerbread house (or something similar). There are tons of colorful and candylike items to potentially use.

If you are on PC/NA and would like to have a go at this, you are welcome to sign up here: tinyurl.com/jhartginger

I'm using the export/import feature of Essential Housing Tools addon to save everyone's builds, and I will be reconstructing them all on stream starting at 1pm ET on January 7th at twitch.tv/jhartellis -- should be a fun event!

What can you do with this mess of items?

I can continue to make the home available for decorators for a few months after the stream as well if you just want to have some fun with it. Just mail me on PC/NA if that's the case.

A few examples so far:

Ended up with 16 gingerbread save files to recreate! Thank you, all! Most everyone said they had lots of fun with it.

Most of these will look better at night, so I'm moving the reveals to 4:20pm ET tonight (will start stream a bit before to be able to get right into it).

Depending on pace, I may do about 1/2 today and 1/2 tomorrow.

Really great reveals so far!

Will show off the final 8 at 3:30pm ET today so we can have a good night cycle again.

Thank you everyone for the great event! I think this was a great format for allowing lots of people to use furnishings without having to worry so much about inventory and cost--hoping to do more events like this going forward!
