"We are searching for Sim City's cutest couple! Is it you?! Contestants will compete in a series of couple-based challenges, from everyday things to special occasions, but only two lovebirds will win. This comp focuses more on the journey of each challenge, and less on the technicalities of photography and editing. Duos will need to captivate us with their unique photos that embody who they are as a couple."

We are nearing the end! Only two more rounds left before we announce the winning couple! And with only three couples left, the odds are getting better and better, so stick around and let's do this!
CHALLENGE:
For this challenge we are tying the knot! You and your partner (whether married, not married, don't want to get married) will be doing a photoshoot of your ideal mock wedding ceremony. You are free to coordinate whatever colour scheme you wish and whatever attire you want, however, you must incorporate the traditional saying of: something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. (You may adapt this phrase into whatever literal sense you wish but the more outside the box you think the easier it'll be...)
Criteria
- No farewell message needed because I think it's too demanding for y'all to keep up with!
- Wedding ceremony may be traditional, unconventional, or completely alternative.
- May be indoors or outdoors
- Background must be in gameplay
- Must incorporate: something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.
DEADLINE: October 31
Tag me or inbox me if you have questions or issues. xx Jelly
Well done, couples! You have made it to the final rounds! Everyone who remains standing deserves to be here and I'm continuously blown away by the incredible improvements made round after round! This particular round stunned me! Each entry was very strong and the captions were lovely. Unfortunately, with a heavy heart, we must wave farewell to our fellow competitor @doicky96 who is unable to further compete. We will miss you and your gorgeous couple!
Now, onto scores... This remains an elimination round!
@Jendowoz0612
Aesthetically pleasing = 4
This is really a beautiful marriage between a well chosen backdrop and wisely proportioning your couple. In addition to the immediate WOW factor upon first impression -- I love that you decided to go full on with not just pastel colours but neon colours, as well.
Candy land adaptation = 4
Great execution. Everything comes together seamlessly. There is no question that this is a paradise of sweetness. The caption was hilarious, by the way, I actually had a good laugh.
Overall creativeness = 3
Docking some points here for not utilising full body shots and I would have liked to see a bit more in-game incorporated with the image backdrop. But otherwise, this remains a solid piece, in addition I think the ice creams were done perfectly.
Score = 11/12
@CitizenErased14
Aesthetically pleasing = 3
Very nice photoshoot right off the bat. The colours really pop and keep your eyes interested. My only suggested would be to better centre your couple as the left side seems heavy weighted.
Candy land adaptation = 4
On point. This is the epitome of what a candyland, or perhaps a yellow brick road leading to candyland, would look like. Your couple's wardrobe looks like sweets with rainbow sprinkles on them
Overall creativeness = 4
Love the oversized goodies used for this photoshoot! It is really tasty looking, being surrounded by all those treats! I love how the ice cream cones appear to be trees lining the yellow brick road that is fenced by large cupcakes. Brilliant move.
Score = 11/12
@remi_narrow
Aesthetically pleasing = 4
This is very satisfying to look at. The sunset casting a glow on everything, the pastel colour choices; it all comes together flawlessly.
Candy land adaptation = 4
What makes this depiction strong is that you veered away from perhaps the conventional idea of what would be a candy land paradise. This photoshoot captures the very essence of the challenge and yet is unique in its approach.
Overall creativeness = 3
The enormous cupcakes and the well written caption are just A+. The poses chosen are not only creative but absolutely relevant to the theme. Your couple could be a little more candy-esque in their wardrobe but that's my only complaint.
Score = 11/12
@Spottydog714
Aesthetically pleasing = 3
On a first impression basis, this is a very lovely picture to look at. Your couple is the obvious focus here and are very contrasted against the duller background. The caption helps fill in the blanks as to why this moment would represent a 'sweet heaven on earth' so to speak. Having a good laugh during a troubled time can be a momentous occasion and an everlasting treasured memory.
Candy land adaptation = 2
Without the caption I would not have known that Aaron was pushing a cupcake on her to eat
Overall creativeness = 2
The caption was very creative and played perfectly along side the photoshoot but unfortunately the focus is on the picture itself. I really wanted to see a lot more going on in terms of seeing your couple enjoying their 'candy paradise'. Their wardrobe does look peppermint and minty, and does capture some 'sweetness'.
Score = 7/12

Great job everyone! Everyone has improved so much since the early rounds. I am taken back in awe every time I get your entries in. I hate having to eliminate such fine couples, but unfortunately, this is the name of the game. Per results, we will be waving a warm goodbye to our fellow competitor @Spottydog714. We will miss your lovely couple and the beautiful captions they've shared with us! Thank you so much for your participation
Stay tuned couples...we have just a couple more rounds left!
None.
None.
