BEX! Lol I wasn't expecting to see you here! You've been dormant on the site from what I can tell. I am having issues with my PC too. WA, even after I uninstalled it, makes my computer laggy and slow and I can't actually play without it crashing in like 2 minutes.
Hi Evergreen! I try to do challenges but between productions, classes, and scriptwriting, I have very little time. I play in spurts.
But this spurt might not last since installing the latest patch I'm all bugged. luckily I usually use my desktop and only this weekend put the game on my laptop, which actually ran better... until WA and the patch.
Which brings me to... Addict I might not be able to participate after all since WA won't work for me longer than 5 minutes... unless they do something soon, but as far as I can see in the tech sections there's all complaints and no answers.
The two week format would be much appreciated on this end. For instance, I wouldn't have had time to finish this week's build without the extension, and I don't have Thanksgiving break. I look forward to the weekly challenges, but it's hard when I realize that I don't have time to finish them.
I'm one of those that look forward to the weekly challenge but half the time find myself without time to do it.
Perhaps if you extended it to two weeks, you could always make sure there is an optional challenge in? For those that would have preferred it to stay at one week.
Of course if you're busy it might just be a simple story, but otherwise it could be.. well.. a more complicated story? :P
Or creating a family, or -- well you've set the past optional challenges, you know what I mean
I was debating running a new challenge, but with all the "thanks" and comments of struggles, I think I'll stick with the plan of the extra week.
Which brings me to the question:
Should we move to a 2-week format on a regular basis? We talked about doing this at least for the holiday season, but maybe it's best overall? Feel free to chime in here. I may eventually create a poll on Yahoo! or Builders' about this, too, but let's get the pulse here first. :-)
With my medical problems raring up at odd and inconvenient times, a two week format would be so helpful! I have over a dozen wip lots started for the BnS challenges which were 'almost' completed but missed the deadline - now they are in my "Lots WIP" world..
And I rushed here to beg for leniency - all day today this site has given me error messages on uploads and even on going to my studio.. Now I can edit pictures and hopefully succeed at changing the upload picture! Since there is not one little tweak left to do on my lot...

Good luck to all who can tho! 8)
Jeez. You are one busy girl! Lol. I think WA and the patch killed me too. I'm afraid to mess around with it because it's on my Dad's new work/taxes/all-that-good-stuff computer and I don't want it going all haywire on me.
I also won't be participating for a while. Probably mid January when I've had my fix of simming and settle down to building. Lol.

I really look forward to seeing a new contest, even if I'm not going to participate. I think a 2-week format would work for the busier times (like Christmas and New Year) and once everyone gets all back to normal and ready to do a weekly challenge, you could change?
Here is the view from the train trestle Racy, does it look pretty too.
And thankyou for the offer to play test, about 6 PM on the 27th you can go to the same place, same bat channel to pick up the lot and a couple of files so that you can get started easier, do you think $302,000.00 simoleans is enough to keep you adventuring for 3 days......lol.

I think it would be great for December, but having it be a one week challenge really kept me motivated to get it done. So my vote would be to go back to one week after the new year.
Well we went to China during our adventure and stayed at the Red Dragon Inn in our own private villa overlooking the sea. The villa had everything we needed from a large bed to our own private fully stocked kitchen. The owners had a nice sized collection on hand of Chinese artifacts and books for us to enjoy. Across the street was The Red Pagoda Park, which was a wonderful place to relax after exploring the city and ancient tombs. I hope you enjoy as much as I did!

Hi! I joined back in BnS 12 and finally got around to joining again. In case you don't remember, I'm in mid-beginner.
I got a "countryside retreat," and I already had a good house for it! It can be converted easily into a hotel!
Tell me if I'm doing this wrong, I forgot how to do the form.
Experience level: I'm gonna say.. Beginner Mid-level because this is my first time. And because there's way too many people in Beginner-Intermediate
Assignment Lot: A French Cafe
Lot Name: Café Français
Lot address, size and final cost: On blocks of land that are 20x30, except placed on a corner. There are places like these in Sunset Valley on Sun Song ave.
