    Darn I missed the deadline! This would have been such a fun challenge. Oh well, maybe next time if another building challenge like this pops up again...this is why I kick myself for not checking the forums every day!!!

    I am so sorry for your loss! I know what it is like to have to untangle paperwork at a time like this, and all I can say is to take care of yourself and your family at this time.
    I do not have a wishlist as I now officially own the store. I have a thank you thread. Here is my Sims 3 page. My top 5 list can be found here (it is empty).

    @calmorezoo I'm sorry for your loss. This seems like a very fun competition and since you have moved the deadline to the end of July I would love to enter. I can get started on my entry right away.

    @calmorezoo I am SO sorry to hear of your loss. Settling an estate is a stressful and time consuming process that makes an already awful and terrible thing in life that much harder to deal with. I really appreciate you reaching out to me via a personal message to let me know that you've extended to deadline for this competition. That shows you're a person with a wonderful character who's considerate and takes what other people would consider a silly video game seriously, along with the players and the community of this game. I hope that this competition will provide you with a little bit of respite from coping with your loss. I do have a question though and that is what is a CAP and why are they not allowed? I hope my background in hospitality doesn't skew the favor of this competition unfairly in my direction. :) Also, this question may have been asked but I may have missed it, can we change the wall coverings on the exterior of the building or is the shell simply not allowed to be altered in any way other than the roof pattern? Once I'm done with my massage tomorrow I'll be nice and relaxed to sit with the shell and make what I hope is a beautiful resort!

    CAP stands for "Create A Pattern". Unofficial patterns sometimes cause crashing, so the request is to keep the files as error free as possible.

    I hope this helps.

    Okay it seems the flood (and it was a massive flood) of Bonus SimPoints has slowed and I can finally get myself into the game to start building for this contest. Wish me luck, in all the years The Sims 3 has been out I've never entered a building contest at all!

    Okay so cut a long story short I just realized I can't upload anything to my studio because I'm not product registered and I'm unable to because all my games are registered on a different account that I lost the password to and I've a hell of a time trying to get in to it. Is there another way I could upload a build to so you can still receive it okay? Thanks :)

    or if you're only judging by pictures I could just upload plenty of them for you and submit the build to my studio next mid next month when I'm hopefully getting TS3 Ambitions :)

    Hope you're doing okay

    Okay, so even though I earn thousands of SimPoints a day through the bonus program I finally said "You know what? These ads will still be there when you come back to the store. Get to building this resort already!" This is my very first building contest so I'm quite excited. I've been playing The Sims 3 since it was released and you'd think I get super involved with the community. I guess because I was working two jobs and going to college full time left me with little time to chat with other players; my life was extremely busy back then but I'm so glad I'm meeting such wonderful players now. Seriously, The Sims 3 community is bar none the best gamer community there is.
    So, anyway, my hotel is going to be called Little Caesar's Palace (an amalgam of Little Caesar's Pizza, which is surprisingly good and I live in New Jersey where pizza is serious business, and Caesar's Palace which is my favorite casino to visit when I go to Atlantic City) and it's been taking me DAYS of work to get about halfway done. I think it's going to be great and I'm glad the deadline has been pushed back so I can post my entry; I can't WAIT to show you guys the heavenly hotel I'm constructing. There's just so much detail I'm adding to give the place some real personality but it's placing boxes of tissues and soap dispensers in each bathroom and making sure they're placed just so to make the lot look a bit realistic. I have a pretty decent computer but all the stuff I'm adding is making my game run noticeably slower so I hope it doesn't melt folks' PCs when it's out in the wild!!! Anyway, I'm back to work on the outdoor wedding area and the honeymoon suite! Ooohhh I'm just SO looking forward to hearing what you all think of it when I finally post my entry form. Also, does anyone know how to change the exchange photos to the nice ones I take for this contest? This resort deserves much more than the stock junky photos the game automatically uploads...
