For a while now, I've had an idea for a lottery with a twist. There are so many wonderful worlds in the game with magnificent scenery - the worlds are one of my favorite things about the Sims 3.
But I think my very favorite thing about the Sims 3 is the forums - I've truly never been part of a friendlier forum. Which lead to the idea for this lottery.
I'll be giving away 1 SP world (Midnight Hollow, Aurora Skies (standard only), Sunlit Tides, Lucky Palms, or Lunar Lakes) or venue, but here's the catch: you can't nominate yourself, you have to nominate someone else to win a world you already own. And when you nominate them, you need to tell why you think that person would enjoy that world. Bonus points for sharing a picture of your sims enjoying the world.
Second, only for those who own the store, I'm giving away the bonus Target content. To enter, share a picture of
Louie Armstrong preforming in your favorite world.
Ending date - Midnight EDT (GMT -4), June 14

Comments
• Which worlds are included in this give-away?
Only the store worlds - Midnight Hollow, Aurora Skies, Sunlit Tides, Lucky Palms, Hidden Springs, or Lunar Lakes
• What's the bonus Target prize?
SimsVIP shows the individual items in the set.
• Can we both nominate others for the worlds and nominate ourselves for the set?
Definitely! And you can nominate up to 3 people per day to win a world/venue, just post each one separately and give a different reason why each person would enjoy it.
• What do you mean about bonus points for pictures?
Mainly just for fun, although there might be a point where I pick people out for extra gifting if they've shown a picture.
• Are all worlds standard?
I know at least one world is considerably cheaper by buying the gold world instead of buying both separately (I think it's Sunlit Tides), in that case, I'd definitely say nominate them for the gold instead. Aurora Skies (and I think at least one other world, but I can't recall which right now) comes out more expensive buying the gold version, so for AS and any others like it, this is for the standard version. I'll look later and add up gold vs. standard and list them.
• I want to nominate someone but they don't have any worlds listed.
Nominate away, share what you like about the world, but when you say who the world is for, just note that you'll be adding that later.
• Can you nominate someone more than once?
They can only be entered for either a world or venue, but yes, you can renominate if they now own the world/venue they were originally nominated for.

World/Venue: Sunlit Tides
Why you think they'll enjoy the world/venue: This island world with the Pleasants is awesome if you love sand and water, which most of us do! Lots of individuals like to escape to a warm tropical island in the middle of winter, but a relaxing atmosphere is nice anytime.(I can play this world on my laptop, so it should place nicely for everyone.)

World/Venue: Sunlit Tides
Why you think they'll enjoy the world/venue: I have only recently gotten this world, but in that short amount of time I think that everyone should have it! It is the perfect vacation spot (if you have the mod "Traveler" ) or the best place on Sim-earth to have a home. Crystal clear water, white sands, and a beach-y vibe. What more is there to love!
I will take a picture and add later of my Sims in Sunlit Tides.
Thank you for hosting this and thank you to the generous sponsors!
