    @missroxor Congrats on your win on the Life After Life challenge. I loved what you did with the "windows" and "scenery." So clever.

    And, I guess, congrats to all of us on the December challenge. :)

    For those who may have missed it, the results are up for those two challenges in the winner's circle thread.

    [color=red]OFFICIAL ENTRY FORM #212 - Settlement for Simanity[/color]
    NAME: Zincht
    LINK TO LOT: http s://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=9294294
    LINK TO MEDIA: http ://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t119/Zincht/Sims3/Build-N-Share%20Builds/BnS%20213-2.jpg
    OPTIONAL CHALLENGE: Not this time, unless I have extra time before the end of the month.
    LEVEL: let's try intermediate, but I don't want to be the only one in my category...
    LOT SIZE, ADDRESS & FINAL COST: 10x10, I placed it in a custom world "Chelsea's Heart", downloaded from exchange, because there are a lot of empty lots there. Final cost $8200 (lot cost $200)
    LOT DESCRIPTION & DETAILS: tell us about your build, include any details and rationale that might not be obvious from your pictures
    CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: "yes"
    CREDIT TO SIMMERS FOR CUSTOM CONTENT USED: I used only stuff from the official game, and purchased downloads. Actually, the exchange listing says I didn't use any purchased items, just expansion items. The world I used was "Chelsea's Heart" by Sovaz [spoiler]http s://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=9213290[/spoiler].

    I apologize for the lack of formatting and links, I am a new member.
    It also seems to be clipping my "OFFICIAL ENTRY FORM #212" top line out of my response.

    ...and I forgot to add "Rainforest" to the description, which I cannot edit. Apologies to the moderators, and can they edit my post/delete all these extras?

    Lot Description and details:
    This is a quick, easy fabrication for the deep jungle. A chain-link fence is used to secure the area from any casual ground creatures, while a fountain adds a cooling element to the air, as well as providing a place for rainwater to collect. A stereo and an easel provide opportunities to appreciate the more scenic outdoors, and the yard would make a great place for a refugee to put a few garden plants. Due to the difficulty of building in deep rainforest, the entire build is on stilts, decreasing the amount of foundation work needed. Inside, two private bedrooms can be found, with a table and chairs for two and just enough space for cooking. Cool, breezy colours are used indoors to help deal with the oppressive heat, and instead of the traditional glass windows, the house is further cooled by slatted screens near the ceiling, guaranteeing a balmy evening every night. With a lot size of only 10x10, this little structure can easily be squeezed into even the densest urban landscape, as well as built right around the edge of the disaster area itself.

    Here's a live link to Zincht's lot on the exchange: https://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=9294294 .

    @Zincht I couldn't open either of the Photobucket links. I *think* Build-N-Share stopped accepting photo albums on Photobucket a while back, but I couldn't find the info, so I may be wrong. I do still have an account there and thought maybe I could search for you and find it, but that didn't work either.

    @BuildnShare What is happening with the judging please? @suzses you're correct, they haven't been judged since #208 I don't have motivation to enter without the little competitive element, I'd rather spend the time playing and building for my in-game simmies

    Sorry - we were having some discussions about how to proceed with the Sims 3 challenges behind the scenes, but I think we'll keep things as is for now :)

    Thank you for updating my entry. If there's a better site for me to post photos, let me know and I can copy/move the folder.
  • cianeciane Posts: 16,996 Member
    @Zincht - as it's your first competition, you might try the beginner category as @Kesminlix says, "you can always move up the ranks later."
  • ZinchtZincht Posts: 32 Member
    @ciane Thank you. I *did* think about it, but the last several months haven't had anyone in the beginner category, and few in the intermediate. I know I'm not qualified for advanced, so I'll take my chances with intermediate. I don't really expect to win my first time, but I'd like to see what the competition is. I also look forwards to constructive criticism to help me improve.

    Oops, I missed the last page of postings and posted only seeing the last page as that was up in my browser.

    Great job of getting a two bedroom, one bedroom home on the lot for 8k @Zincht

    It cut off half of it, which means the pics are out of order. I spent 2 hours trying to get them that way, I think I'm just not cut out for these media sharing sites.

    @creativemetaphor That seems to have worked, thank you.

    Well, they finally released that other home from the pet adoption that I made for the vampire slayer. If curious, it's here:

    And, I play tested the home for simmanity as well. It's here:

    The entry rules that state no photobucket are under the sims4 challenges. I know for a while photobuck required users to pay to allow their pics to be accessed by other sites, but they don't any more. I'll do future challenges on flikr, though, to avoid the confusion.

    *In addition to constructive criticism, I will appreciate tips on organizing/managing media sites.

    Love your home complex @ciane The light walls make it feel so bright, clean, and hopeful, and I love that there's a basketball court for neighbours to get to know one another over a game. And very clever to save money by using foundations as walls!

    Your little cabin looks fantastic @iampes23 . I especially like roof line, the layout, and all the little bits and pieces that make it feel like a welcoming home. There's even a tea set :) Amazing to be able to fit up to 4 adults and an infant in such a small space!
    You can still find me on my old My page (http://mypage.thesims3.com/mypage/GreenCats), and see more of my game-play pictures and CC-free uploads at gcsims.com
