Yes, Summer is here which means another Whatsociallife contest!
I am challenging you to put those design skills to the test and build a house beside the seaside.
It could be traditional, Victorian, on stilts or even modern BUT it must be built by the seaside!
Interior and exterior design will be judged so consider your colour scheme carefully. You could choose traditional blues and whites or go mad with vibrant colours of the Caribbean.
Contest Closing Date is Friday 29th August at 12pm GMT

There will be 2 categories:
1,Seaside Starter builds - budget of 16,500 simoleons - max lot size 20x30
2,Unlimited build - no budget - max lot size 40x40
Your build must include as a minimum:
• at least 2 bedrooms (1 bedroom for starters)

• kitchen
• living room area
• family bathroom
Contest entry must be uploaded to the Exchange and can contain all Store items except the last 3 sets: The Now & Then Manor, World of Wonder Carousel & Brunch at the Old Mill which I don’t have (also I don’t have Dr Pepper items).
I will also allow 2 CAP patterns per lot.
No other CC allowed. Lots will be custard checked for this before judging.
As usual I will offer a separate small prize for back stories to your builds. These are optional and not counted in the main contest scoring. Judges will add an extra 20 point score for stories to count towards a separate prize.

edit: lol beaten to it. I shall look forward to seeing your entry Peachy1102.
This contest looks fun! Hols beginning soon so I may try and enter (^_^) ~YJ~
Kellieann123: yes just the theme. Imagine your lot is right next to the sea. I don't have any rules about where you build it so any EA or CAW world is fine. You could even just go into World Editor in game and pop a lot down right on a beach!

Could we still use them but tell you and take pics to show you where they are? Or would you rather us just not use them?

Hmm, I cannot guarantee that I will be entering..sorry, I wish I could say a definite yes but hmm mark me as interested.
I had to play with a design last night on graph paper and am excited to see if it will look good in the Sims this morning.

That should be OK if you keep the pieces to a minimum and point it out on you pictures. I'm not so observant lol.
Ciane - Let's say you can enter twice.
As for lot size and budget - I don't want to restrict these though I'd rather not have any 60x60s. Hmmm if I can budget for it or get any sponsors I may offer a separate prize for best house in starter budget ($16,500). If you can enter twice you could enter one of each, one unlimited and one starter.
Does that sound OK?
Ivanna420 - Of course - that would be fantastic!
A smallish lot with the essentials
and a normal-sized lot with a motherlode.

In post 2 (Rules) I have divided it into the 2 categories. I will work out prizes later.
There will be a max of 40x40 size for the maxed out house and a max of 20x30 for starters.
I will try and get something up if time permits me to
