These are just my scores as I'm probably going to be cleaning house and packing tomorrow. PK may choose to post hers later
I'm not going to be posting these in order since we had a drop and there are no elims.Simanims

Comments: So I love, love the lighting in this pic.. from the headlights of the old truck to the reflection of hte purple neon light on the hood of the truck. Their posing is just spot on! Did you edit in her map? Whatever you've done it's perfect. I sorta like the idea that we don't know exactly where they are going, but on the same note.. while there is a ton of creativity and work put into this pic, the story is lacking a little. Still in love with everything else! You're always so good at creating a rich setting! It looks like they are really there instead of well... a set. lol.

Comments: You did a really good job with this! And the city in the background is just gorgeous! That is something I need to incorporate into more of my pics. Your lighting is good and your story is just awesome! I love Ramona's pose, but I do kinda wish Zach's was something kind of unique, but it definitely is fitting.

Comments: I think you're definitely getting better esp with your composition. You have your focal point, then your interesting things to look at in the rest of the picture. One thing that is bugging me is that the road is way too bright of a color. I guess it could be faded out pavement but it looks more like carpet to me. Also again the blood on your poor victim just isn't feeling right to me. Try looking up some CC blood spills or patterns. It's amazing what you can do in game when you can find the right CC. Her pose is great! She looks genuinely worried and Cato just has that hopeless, "what have I done" feel to his pose. The story is... well I doubt they'd be getting off that easily.

Comments: I really like this one! The story is cute and Scarlett's reaction to everything is just cute! (Btw where did you get her shirt? I want it!!) You've got lots of detail and the old man and the ghost make it play out like a hilarious scene in a movie! The one thing about this pic that I'm
just not crazy about is that it feels unbalanced. There's so much going on on his side, then you look to the right and it's just mostly grass.

Comments: The lighting in this pic is great, esp for a low light situation, and the shot is nicely balanced. Posing is pretty good, but I'd like to see them kind of interacting with each other or at least closer together... like her being mad at him for crashing the Jeep instead of just being mad in general. Also, I like the CC grass.. has a nice rich texture, but I wouldn't mind either some mud or something else on the forest floor. I really like that they were off roading.. pretty refreshing and unique idea

Comments: This would be such a great pic if we could see it, Early! xD I love the details, with the books and soda cans and the care parked on the side... you did a great job with the set. I think the outdoor spotlight positioned the right way on your couple then maybe a streetlamp to illuminate the background of your set just a *little* bit would be very nice. It can be illuminated some and still look like night time.

Assignment Eight:
Family Planning (Or not!)
Does your couple want kids? Was there um.. maybe an accident? Do they already have all the kids they want? I have sooo many ideas outside of the box but then I don't want to steal them from you! But feel free to introduce some chaos with the unexpected! Feel free to ask questions with this one. I understand not everyone may want their couples to have kids.. there ARE ways around that.
Due: August 23, 2011
Not what I'm looking for just wanted to have something to post for once lol:

Press ctrl, shift and C to pull up your cheat menu.
buydebug on: adds a menu in your buy mode and gives you tons of stuff that will be helpful especially in a sci-fi fantasy comp like this. There are also some invisible lights, very helpful for lighting your sims' faces!
moveobjects on: Just incredibly useful all around. I can't even begin to go over the uses for this.
hideheadlineeffects on: gets rid of those pesky thought bubbles and plumbobs.
Hold in alt while moveobjects is on so your object/sim won't snap to a grid!
Press tab when in live mode to help with picture taking.
Camera controls:
W - forward
S - back
A - Left
D - Right
E - Tilts up
Q - tilts down
Shift plus A - Rolls to the left
Shift plus D - Rolls to the right
Z- zoom in
X - Zoom out
Shift and S - reset
1. If there is a drop or no show there will not be an elimination.
2. I understand that there are some times when you can't continue for one reason or another, but I think it's EXTREMELY rude to just not show up. I know I can't enforce this, but please if you have decided not to continue, please let us know!
3. Please ask for extensions if needed. They will will be granted if a reasonable request.
4. Changes to models: This is something I'm extremely lenient with. I mainly want them recognizable as the same person. Sometimes your game gets borked, etc and you need to make a new model and that's fine.... or sometimes you decide to uninstall a skin and need to change their skin.. that's also fine. Just try to keep their facial features the same so we can recognize them. You can change hair color (that's kind of a common thing in goth/punk anyway) and style of course. If you have any questions about it just ask
5. Same sex couples are allowed.
6. Editing is allowed, but just realize that editing may help OR hurt you. Just depends on how it looks.
7. Because my job has a random unpredictable schedule, due dates will probably be a little over a week. This doesn't mean I want to wait forever for people to turn in their assignments though.
None for the moment

I was worried about the lighting xD I'm horrible with nighttime shots
Got a pretty Good Idea!

Thanks
Was such a basic idea, I'm glad it turned out the way I wanted it to in the short amount of time I had to do it.
Scores will be in tonight from me, have generations to install, dogs to walk, plants to water, a movie to watch and Japanese food to eat first lol

Zach and Ramona have always wanted to have a big family. With it already started they didn't see any reason to slow down. So they adopted little Sage from Japan and Jacobi from south Africa. While in the process of adopting them they weren't as "careful" as they should have been and are expecting again. Bed time is sure hectic but story time is always a must.
Will have scores in today, we got home late last night.
Good news though I did managed to install Generations without problems, though I haven't played yet to check.

Comments: Fantastic posing, I love how Tristan really does look like he’s really annoyed with the fact they are lost. It’s great how you use the same colors through your pictures in this comp, the same purple and turquoise tones as we see in Tristan and Elizabeth it has a very unique effect. The editing as always is perfect, I love the headlights beam. The story and idea wasn’t overly creative, getting lost or breaking down I would think would be a pretty common theme for a road trip and its many events, so I was hoping for something a bit more outside the box.

Comments: I love this picture. The whole idea of Ramona going into labour in the middle of their trip is fantastic, something really dramatic! I love Bridgeport at night backgrounds, when used well, like you did, they just have an amazing amount of detail. I like the poses a lot, though I don’t really understand why they are both randomly looking in an odd direction. I would think given the circumstances, Zach should be looking at Ramona, and for effect Ramona should be looking at the camera. Hard to organize but would have hit that perfect score from me if you could have accomplished it.

Comments: A very dramatic story! The posing is great, especially Cato’s, it really is perfect for someone who is breaking down after accidently hitting someone. The blood editing is getting a little better, the stuff on their victims clothing is very well done...you should invest in some CC blood stains for the ground maybe though, since the edited in blood on the ground looks very much like its hovering in mid air. The ground was a bit puzzling too, look a bit too much like carpet for me, there’s some nice dark road like textures in terrain paints under misc I believe that work well for alleyway/road shoots.

Comments: Yay for ghosts! I love the idea of stopping by all the random roadside attractions, things you never plan into your trip but sometimes can never resist checking out. Adore the set and the posing. I think the whole shot would have been perfect if you cropped it more, eliminating all that empty space to the right. It’s not actually really empty, the grass has a nice texture to it, but compared to the density of the rest of the image it stands out quite a bit.

Comments: The lighting is really well done, for a night time shot we can still see all the necessary details. The editing of the mud on the jeep is very well done too. The positioning of everything is great, the car in between them, but the set felt like it needed to look more off road. The grass is rather nicely trimmed for somewhere in the middle of the forest, and it would have been great to see some more variation in the ground textures, some dirt, rocks, other shrubs and such. I like Cato’s pose, the sheepish animation is great....Helvetica’s doesn’t have that same impact. The caption you had mentioned fury, but all I see is mildly annoyed, I think an animation from the ‘’argue with sim’’ interactions would have been better.

Comments: Great to see everyone taking advantage of all the new animations and interactions that came with generations, in game posing just has that little bit of extra emotion in it sometimes. Really like the angle of the shot, the set and the clutter items. All in all it really needed some light. Some spotlights directed on Alexander and Constance, and maybe even a hidden light set to dim either next to or above the car, just to illuminate everything and bring out the details that get lost in the darkness.

I peered down at the bear in my hand, my old bear. I...I wasn't ready to give it to a new owner. But Tristan, Tristan was. This is what he wanted, but I...I don't know.
The bed creaked and I knew Tristan had realised I was awake, he shifted his weight and sat up.
"You OK?" He was genuinely concerned.
"I'm...i'm" I wanted to swallow but my mouth was too dry. "I'm fine."
"Really, you've been like this for days."
It was true, I had known for three days and 5 hours now. I didn't know what to do. I just sat there with the bear resting in between my knees.
Tristan continued to talk at me but I couldn't hear it, all I could hear was my heartbeat. My shared heartbeat.
I'm leaving for London in a few hours so I won't be able to check in till the 22nd, hopes thats ok ^_^

Alexander and Constance didn't plan to have kids until a few years. So it was a huge shock to them when Constance found out she was pregnant.
But it wasn't a bad thing, in fact they were both was over joyed. Constance's few friends decided to throw her a baby shower. It was a small group of people, but it was perfect to both Alexander and Constance.
There was a huge pile of toys for the soon to be newborn! It was confirmed the baby was a girl, so they started spoiling her with cute clothes, dolls, and other toys.
OMG Im in it XD
And you are! XD
