Hello Again, Everyone!



Welcome to another edition of my version of HGTV's House Hunters contests. Many of you are already familiar with these contests, but for any who are new to the contests, here is how it works. These contests are based (sometimes, ok... most of the time, kind of loosely) on the HGTV program "House Hunters". This time, there are 3 Categories that you may enter. A Sims category and 2 Build categories. You may enter only once per category and can enter one, two, or all three of the categories, the choice is yours. You may only win once, so your highest placing entry will be used for determining the winner. In the case that there is a lack of entries, all entries could potentially place and win. For the Sims category, you are to create your "vision" of the clients based on the information that follows. Their traits and lifetime wishes are mentioned below. Their favorites and Astrological Sign are left up to you to decide. There are some skills included in their info, and those, along with appropriate skills for traits and LTW's that are required to be included in their upload. You may add any additional skills that you think are appropriate to them. The skills don't need to be maxed, but at least a level 2 must be included. They will need to be uploaded together as a household to include their skills, but must not include a house with the household. The household will also need to have enough money to be able to purchase both lots upon arrival in Oasis Landing for the judging, so they should have at least 400,000 simoleons as the household funds when uploaded. For the builds, you will need to submit plans (lots) that fit the clients desires. You will be given a list of requirements and a small wish list of extra items along with a budget you must work within for each lot. This may require you get imaginative with CASt to recolor some of the less expensive items in order to be able to afford all of the required items and as many of the wish list items as possible into the lot. You will also be given a deadline to have all entries ready by. Now since there are 3 categories this time around and it is possible that some will (hopefully) want to entry all 3, there is a slightly longer deadline than usual.







The deadline this time will be 6:00pm US CDT on Tuesday, Sept. 16, 2014.

*****ATTENTION!!! I am going to try something new for this contest to hopefully boost the number of entries. I am implementing a refer-a-friend referral bonus. To qualify for the bonus, you will need to spread the word about the contest to anyone whom you think might be interested in participating. There will be a spot on the entry form where you will tell me who referred you to the contest, if anyone. Both people, the one who was referred and the one who referred them will receive a 25sp bonus, as long as both people complete at least one entry.*****

To help clarify things, there will be a couple of rules. So here we go......




Refer-A-Friend Referral Bonus Rules:


1. In order to qualify, BOTH parties must complete an entry.
2. You may only list one person on the entry form as the person who referred you to the contest, even if four told you about it, you must pick only one to list.
3. There will be a limit of 4 people that you can receive a referral bonus for referring, plus 1 for being referred yourself. (Sorry, but without a limit it could become a little costly for me, and unfortunately, my funds aren't unlimited.)
4. The referral bonuses will be gifted at the end of the contest with the other prizes in the form of gifts from your WL, in the same manner as always.
5. Once both parties have completed and posted their entries, you will have the choice to take the bonus in the form of the 25sps to be added to any potential winnings, or you may have an extra 5 points added to my scores at judging time, just in case you are worried about the competition. The referral bonus in the form of score points will only be added to my scores and will not effect the other judges scores.
6. The same limits will apply.

    For this edition, we will be traveling quite a distance.....in time. We will be doing this job or rather, jobs, in Oasis Landing. As you may have noticed, there is an additional build category added to this one, and there is a slight twist to the normal budget policy, which I will explain later when we get to the budgets.






    140720-iC8-aRnuZJEE.jpg



    First, let me tell you all I know about the clients. For the CAS category you will be creating your vision of Lucas (Lucky, to his friends) and Jenny, who are both young adults. Lucas has been told he's a real hottie, even Irresistible, but he just likes to work out a lot with his wife. He's utterly devoted to his beautiful Jenny. He's kind of a Genius, Computer Whiz, and very Handy, too. He's skilled in Science, so naturally his parents wanted him to become some sort of doctor or scientist, but he's more into technology and that his parents could never understand. He really thinks the most important thing, besides his wife, is to Collect all the High Technology gadgets he can. He was working at any job that would let him have time to track down his gadgets and still pay the bills. Jenny is the most beautiful girl in the world to him and has been ever since they meet in Middle School. Jenny has also been told she was Irresistible, but she doesn't see it. She still can't believe that someone as gorgeous as Lucky was in love with her. When asked to describe herself, the first thing she will tell you about is her love of fashion. She has always wanted to own her own boutique, after becoming a Fashion Phenomenon, but so far all she had managed to do was get her foot in the door in the stylist profession. She never seems to get around to mentioning that she's Artistic, loves Photography, is a Natural Cook, and is a very Nurturing person, which explains her desire to start a family as soon as possible. Jenny also enjoys working out with Lucky. It's one of her favorite parts of the day.

    They married right out of high school, against both sets of parents wishes, but they were "in love". Their parents all wanted them to go to the University first, and then get married, but they wouldn't listen. Neither one of them was really interested in going to even more school or postponing getting married until afterward, so they snuck off to Lucky Palms and got married. And they've been struggling ever since, just like their parents said they would. Then one day the strangest thing happened, and it changed everything, and I do mean everything.

    A strange device appeared in their yard. Jenny thought it was one of Lucky's newest High Tech gadgets, but it looked far more expensive than anything they could afford, plus it was so high tech it was like nothing she'd ever seen before. When Lucky came home she told him all about how it just seemed to appear out of nowhere, so he went out to investigate. It was definitely fascinating to him, but he had no clue what it was, either. Then a time traveler stepped out of it and explain how to use the time machine, so being the Tech geek that he is, plus a chance to see the future was more than he could resist. He and Jenny traveled to the future and fell in love with Oasis Landing and decided they wanted to stay, but how to accomplish it was another matter entirely. Lucas studied Advanced Technology while there, and when they went back to their time he used what he had learned to develop software that made him richer than they had ever thought possible. Now to some people, it may not seem to be that much, but to him and Jenny it was all their dreams coming true. Now there are several very nice homes in Oasis landing that are available, but Lucas want Jenny to have the exact house of her dreams, not someone else's used dream home.










    140720-1WLhlBsBC1.jpg



    This is where you all come in. Once again, you will be designing the home of their dreams. They have a budget and it's a pretty good-sized budget, but we'll get to that in a moment. This is to be Jenny's dream house, but part of her dream is that Lucky's wishes also be included, so they have a list of required things that must be included in the home and a wish list of items that would be awesome if they can be included, but only if budget allows it. You see, they have another part of their dream that is also needed to make everything they have dreamed about come true, so they have to stick to their budgets for each one. You will be getting a chance to design the other portion of their dream, as well, but we'll get to that one a little later.



    First up though, is Jenny's Dream Home. For this home she wants it right by the canal, so you will have to actually place a lot as shown in the picture below. The street it will be on has no name to it, as there are no other lots of any kind on it, thus the reason for the picture of the location. The lot can not be any larger than a 50x50. It needs to blend in well with the other houses in Oasis Landing. Jenny does not want to advertise that they aren't from Oasis Landing, any more than necessary. Jenny's one decorating requirement is that the whole house be Futuristic Modern.





    Screenshotwithlotlocationmarkedresizedforposting_zps0a9744ee.jpg





    Basic Requirements:


    1 Master Bedroom W/ Private Bath and
    2 Children's Bedrooms For 2 Children In Each (1 boys, 1 girls) W/ Private Bath
    1 Nursery for 2 Babies W/ Private Bath
    1 Guest Room For 2 People W/ Private Bath
    Separate Playroom/Toyroom For The Children
    Kitchen W/ Eat-In Area
    Separate Dining Room
    Living Room W/ Fireplace
    Office/Library
    Workout/Gym Area
    Art Studio
    Holographic Home Theater
    Bot workshop
    2 Recharging Stations
    Science Lab
    Game Room
    Pool
    Hot Tub
    Patio W/ Entertainment Area (Seating, Lounging, and Dining)
    Minimum Of One Rooftop Garden/Seating Area






    Wish List:




    Dressing Room/Closet with Stylist Station for Master Bedroom
    Additional Hot Tub In Master Bedroom or Master Bath (could also be on private rooftop balcony/garden area)
    Additional Fireplace In Master Bedroom
    Additional Fireplace On Patio Area
    A 2 Car Garage
    Playground For Children (Backyard, Courtyard, or Rooftop)





    The total budget for Jenny's Dream Home is 250,000 simoleons.








    140720-OXL2FaCDCnnS.jpg



    Now on to the second build opportunity. This one is going to be.....you've probably already guessed it, a commercial lot. This lot will be the culmination of Lucas and Jenny's Dreams. Lucas fell in absolute love with bots, you see, and he wants own a store, where people can come in and purchase that one final chip they are lacking or create a whole new bot. If you can name it and its concerns bots, then Lucas's emporium will have it. You could definitely say he's a true Bot Fan. So half the lot is to be for the bot emporium, and the other half is Jenny's part of the dream and yes, you guessed it again, it will be a retail fashion boutique.

    This lot is to be located at 1360 Wet Basin Bend and is a 30x30 lot built out into the basin/canal (like in Lucky Palms). There is currently a vacant house named Auspicious Atoll on the lot, so you will have to bulldoze the house and change the lot type to community. I would think either hangout or visitor welcome will work for the sub-type.
    Please keep in mind that the basic requirements are just that, the basic requirements. Please consider the wish list items as well when building so that there is already room for them without making the build look crowded.





    Basic Requirements:



    Bot Emporium:

    1 Bot Workshop
    2 Plumbot Stands (displays)
    2 Charging Stations
    2 Desks
    4 Dining/Desk Chairs
    2 Holo-computers
    8 Counters (for register area)
    1 Holo-register


    Fashion Boutique:

    2 Retail Fashion Displays For Females
    2 Retail Fashion Displays For Males
    4 Dressers (in private rooms for changing booths)
    4 Full Length Mirrors ( in changing booths)
    6 Counters ( for counter-top displays/clutter)
    4 Sofa/Loveseats (for waiting, etc.)
    6 Chairs (for waiting, etc.)
    4 Side/Coffee Tables


    There also needs to be 2 Public Restrooms accessible to both sides included on the lot





    Wish list Items:




    Bot Emporium:

    1 (or more) Additional Bot Workshop(s)
    2 (or more) Additional Plumbot Stands (displays)
    2 (or more) Additional Charging Stations
    1 (or more) Additional Desks
    2 (or more) Additional Chairs
    1 (or more) Additional Holo-computers


    Fashion Boutique:

    2 (or more) Additional Retail Fashion Displays (1 female, 1 male)
    2 (or more) Additional Dressers
    2 (or more) Additional Full-Length Mirrors
    2 (or more) Additional Retro Clothing Displays (in separate Retro Area)
    1 Stylist Booth (for Retro area)






    The budget for Lucky and Jenny's Emporium and Boutique is 150,000 simoleons.








    140720-ohYJ_jSAXUQU.jpg



    Now here is where the slight budget twist comes in. Any amount you come in under budget for one lot, may be used to on the other lot. So there is actually a total budget of 400,000 simoleons.

    For easy reference here is a breakdown of the budget....

    Dream Home - 250,000 simoleons
    Commercial Lot - 150,000 simoleons

    Total Budget - 400,000 simoleon

    Now that you know what the clients wishes are, here are the Rules you need to follow in order to be considered!




    Rules



    1. Be Nice!!

    2. You may enter a total of three times, once in each category or you may enter only one category, the choice is yours, but you may only win once (unless there is a lack of entries). Your highest scoring entry will be used.

    3. You must have a completed entry form in your entry post to be consider complete.

    4. If entering more than one category, each entry must have it's own entry post.

    5. They must be new sims and/or lots, and can not have been entered into any other contests.

    6. All EPs, SPs, and store content is allowed, but sorry, No Dr. Pepper or T-Mobile items. Please ask before using any Bonus content such as Pre-order bonuses, etc. I do own about half, but that means, obviously, that I am also missing about half.

    7. No CC - All entries will be check with Custard, if CC is found you will have until the contest closes to fix and resubmit it to be accepted. CC in this case also includes default skins, eyes, etc. Even if it doesn't transfer, some may still feel the creator using it has an unfair advantage.

    8. CAP allowed with a limit of 1 per entry (MUST be listed in entry post with link and credit given to creator, if not your own.)

    9. Your CAS entry must include, for each sim, one close up head shot pic and one pic of each outfit. You can use a collage style pic, if you like. Your building entry must include one front view exterior pic, one back view exterior pic, and one pic of each level of the floor plan with walls up. (For additional pics, please give link to a slideshow or other thread, so we don't break this thread.)

    10. The home must be on a lot located as shown in the above pic, in Oasis Landing.

    11. The commercial lot must be located at 1360 Wet Basin Bend, Oasis Landing.

    12. All entries must be posted by deadline of 11:59pm US CDT on Saturday, September 13, 2014.

    13. CFE, MOO, and BuyDebug are allowed for the building category. (Just be sure there are no routing issues.) Pose player is allowed for the CAS pics, if you would like. (Poses won't effect the judging.)

    14. You must stay within the given budget for the building categories.

    15. All Entries Must Be Named In-Game! You may use whatever last name you would like for the clients, but the first names need to remain Lucas and Jenny. You may name the house and commercial l whatever you would like, but the name must show up in-game, if it doesn't, you will be docked points. It could possibly make a difference between placing and not, if the scores are close!

    16. Presentation counts!!! This is one of the highest scoring categories for a reason!! You may edit photos to add borders and text, to crop, or to resize, but be honest and please do not use any other editing or effects on you photo's.

    17. If spawners are used, please note that they were used in your lot description and in your entry description.

    FAQs



    These are all questions frequently asked regarding budgets, editing names and descriptions for both lots and sims, and how to include skills, etc. with your sims. Any other questions that are shown here will be questions asked by you, elsewhere in the thread, that I will re-post here along with the answer for easy access for everyone to see the answer.


    Is there a budget?
    Yes, this time there are separate budgets for each lot and the combined total budget for both. For this contest, any amount of budget you do not use for one lot, may be carried over to the second lot, but both must still stay at or under the total budget. This is for anyone who is entering both building categories. The residential lot has a budget of 250,000 simoleons to stay within. The commercial lot has a budget of 150,000 simoleons to stay within. The total budget for both lots is 400,000 simoleons.


    Is the price before or after depreciation?
    The budget price needs to be the price when you upload it. It doesn't matter to me if you wait for it to depreciate or if that's before it depreciates. I know with a tight budget, sometimes the depreciation can really help make the budget.

    What do you mean by "The lot name and description must be edited in-game."?
    It means you must enter a description in Edit Town Mode before you attempt to upload the lot. While they may show up in your studio and on the exchange with the descriptions and name that you entered whenever you upload, if you don't put it in the edit function of the lot while you are in edit town, before you upload, it will not be there when we download it to our games. A bunch of downloads that just say "Lot Name" on them, in our library, makes it difficult (if not impossible, if there are a lot of them) to identify them. This delays judging as we try to figure out which "Lot Name" belongs to which entrant, requiring going in and out of the game repeatedly, to re-visit the contest thread, to see which of the pics "match" the in-game lot. Adding your user name somewhere in the lot description would also be helpful. I hope this helps those who were unaware of this.

    What Do you mean by "Sim must have a bio entered in CAS"?
    This is similar to the lot name and makes sure your sim has their background included in game. This is done in the personality area of CAS on the Favorites tab. You will edit the Bio before uploading, that way when the judges install them in-game we can tell easier which entry belongs to whom, so please include your user name in the bio somewhere.

    How do I get their skills to upload with my sim?
    For skills to stay with our sims when we upload them, they must be uploaded as a household while in-game, in Edit Town. Do not include the house in the upload, only the sims that are your entry.

    Can I use Pose Player or photo editing for my entry pictures?
    You may use Pose Player and photo editing to make collages and add borders and/or captions. Please be honest and do not use any other effects or lighting changes. As your entries will be judged in-game, this would only be for presentation purposes.

    Winners List

    Before we get to the winners I want to take a moment thank all 3 of the other Judges for volunteering their time to judge the awesome entries, both in the CAS category and the lots in the building categories. Without you, this would have been next to impossible to pick winners.

    Also a Thank you to all of you who took your time and energy to put together such creative and beautiful entries. If I could, I'd have awarded all of you first place, but alas, that would require a much bigger finance budget than I possess. I want you all to know the all the judges scores were slightly different and enough so, that as each set of scores came in the winners switched places. All of the scores were very close, sometimes the difference was only a matter of the points that had to be deducted for a silly mistake or reason, like a lack of extra pictures vs. one with extra pictures.


    Congratulations To Our Winners! Let me know how you would like to spend them. Your wishes are my command. *Wink, Wink*

    This will be where any currently running Mini-Games will be found! :wink:


    Game 2


    This one will also be fairly easy. I want you to pick your favorite EA pre-made lot in Oasis Landing. It can be any building or lot, community lot or residential. Doesn't matter what it is as long as it's an EA lot. Then I want you to post a picture of it along with why it's your favorite lot. You Must use the entry form below for it to be counted as an entry. Not that I'm trying to be overly picky, but the entry form makes it easier for me to tell an entry from chatter or inspirational pictures while scanning through for entries. I will leave it open for about 3 days to give everyone a chance to get an entry in. That will be at approximately 9:00pm US CST on September 1st. Once the game is closed, I will pick one of my favorites and then I will pick one randomly using random.org. Each winner will receive 50sps, which they may use then or may bank until later. As always you may nominate a friend for you winnings, but if you do want to nominate someone else for your winnings, please wait until after the winners are announced, to make your nomination.

    ciane, I know a lot of people will or did, but that's why I left of before posting the prizes last night...lol I figured they would have to wait until today for that. :lol::mrgreen:


    Let me know what you think of the referral bonus. I need some feedback. :wink:

    I love the referral idea and that it is based on a completed entry. I also like the option to bump up juding scores rather than claim a prize. I think the amounts on points and score are just right.

    I spotted that you put the 2 charging stations in twice in the dream house requirements.

    Let me just say, I love this and it will be quite a challenge.

    Yay! I'm glad. I was worried that the amounts would seem low for the bonuses, but if I went higher, it could possibly become more than I could afford. Now we'll see if it works. Everyone does have the potential to earn up to 125 extra simpoints. Plus, if you choose the scoring option, you can add up to 25 extra points to your score instead, depending on how many bonuses you qualify for. :mrgreen:



    ETA: Forgot to say thanks for spotting the double listing. I will take it out. :wink:

    Count me in as an interested participant. I have a question - it looks like you listed only 4 traits for Lucas, and 5 for Jenny. Does that mean the fifth one for Lucas is up to us to pick?

    My apologies, Asheala. :shock: Thank you for pointing that out. :oops: No, Lucas's 5th trait is hinted at farther down in the Emporium description and I forgot to make it in bold. I will give this one to you and then I will go fix the post, but his 5th trait is Bot Fan. :mrgreen:

    I hope I have time to enter this one. I'm easily confused and as the square showing the lot position crosses the road I just wanted to check it need to be above the canal-side road :mrgreen:

    The contest sounds great! :) The three different parts of it are great! It is great that you have both a residential and a community lot build as a part of the contest. I will look forward to seeing the entries!

    This contest sounds awesome! I am fairly new to the contest area of the forums but not a new member by any means. I for some reason never really checked out the forums to know how cool they are. But anyways I am really enjoying them, and am trying to decide whether to attempt this contest. As awesome as it sounds, I feel intimidated lol.

    Allierenee, Don't feel intimidated. We are our own worst critics. Just because you haven't join many or any contests, doesn't mean you haven't been getting plenty of experience just doing it for yourself in your own game. You just need to believe in your own talents. :mrgreen:

    This one looks like so much fun! O_O
    I don't understand the lot placement for the house? Am I not understanding the image? @_@
