BRAVE NEW WORLD - CLOSED

As you know, The Sims 3 series is finally starting to get really interesting. We have such wonderful things to look forward to such as University, Island Paradise and the future stuff. I can't wait. 8)

I am most excited for University because that was one of my favorites in TS2. I have truly missed the in between time for teens and YAs. You may recall in TS2 the slim pickings among rentals. The houses were either too small or strangely shaped. I always remodeled the houses to fit my sims.

Our sweet little simmies are about to walk right into A BRAVE NEW WORLD. When they do, they will need appropriate housing. I like houses that can fit 1 to 4 sims. I usually have my sims meet their prospective mates while in Uni. I move them in together and skill both. Since my simmies are poor, they really need ways to earn money, for example, painting, gardening, etc.

In addition to moving away from home, our little simmies will start interacting and identifying with a vastly diverse group of people. There will be jocks, nerds, goths, rockers, occult types, nomads (gypsies/carnies), fairies, aliens, islanders and the average Joe. They will all need housing that fits their personalities.

Well, enough of the reasoning behind this contest. Here's what you want to know:

"Pick a group and a lot size.
The lot size determines your budget
The lot needs to reflect the group you chose
For each group there is a winner
You can turn in 1 lot per group"

quoted because my friend Anettesb summarized this.


darules.jpg

1. ABOSLUTELY NO THIRD-PARTY CC!!!!

2. Store content is fine. I own the store so go crazy.

3. I own all EPs/SPs. However, I will own University the day it comes out.

4. You may enter as many times as you wish but can only place once in each category.

5. The house must reflect the group chosen.

6. There are 6 lot selections. The price next to it reflects total cost, including
the lot. The final cost of each house should be at or under the maximum cost.

10x10 = 20,000
10x15 = 25,000
20x20 = 30,000
20x25 = 35,000
30x20 = 40,000
30x30 = 45,000

7. All building cheats are allowed.

8. BuyDeBug is allowed.

9. This does not have to be a new build BUT cannot be the same as entered in any
previous contest. It must be remodeled.

10. You must choose a social group for whom to build and follow their theme.
Remember, they are still University students. The themes listed below are only
suggestions. The groups are as follows:

(a) jocks - sporty
(b) nerds - techie, gamers, usually neat
(c) goths - dark, moody
(d) rockers - punkish, musical, junky
(e) occult types - depends on your occult
(f) nomads (gypsies/carnies)- carnivale feeling, circusy
(g) fairies - garden, light, airy
(h) aliens - out of this world
(i) islanders - they can't have a beach house but inside can look like one
(j) the average Joe - anything goes
(k) hippies - again, anything goes
(l) Fusion - a mix of any of the above.

11. Name your lot before you upload to the exchange

12. Be sure your lot is totally flat, as it will be used in more than one world.

13. Each house must have at least one bedroom, bathroom, study/den, kitchen/dining area and living room.

14. Pictures - max 6 - front, back, inside. More than 6, link to slideshow/album.

15. CAP patterns are fine. Please upload the link to the pattern and give credit to the creator.

16. HAVE A BLAST!! :thumbup:


ENTRY FORM:

1. Your Name
2. Lot Name
3. Lot Size/Price
4. What group type?
5. Description
6. Link

    I really hope your computer behaves. I love your builds. You have no idea how many of them are in my game from judging other building contests. :mrgreen: I'd be very interested in seeing what you come up with.

    See Rule #4. You can enter as many as you wish but can only place once in each category, meaning social group -- not each lot size.

    Anette, these particular groups can fall under any category. The "Average Joe" could be politically motivated. The "Nomads" could be artsy.

    Most people are like onions and have lots of layers. For instance, you know personally, I'm a total diva. I need beautiful, expensive shoes and I love clothes. My hair has to be just so.... In other words, to someone who doesn't know me, I would appear to be conceited and stuck up. Those who know me know that I love to travel, can and will hold a conversation with anyone, read voraciously and am a total nerd and gamer geek, complete with red eyeglasses. :D

    So, you see, these other qualities could very well fit any category.

    Whew!!!! That was a lot of answering. Now, all I need to do is check on my other contest, start my Secret Admirer gift, make gifts for the Gifting Angel, run to the store and purchase Diesel so I can gift the winner of another contest the code.

    I see Nesa...

    I know we got layers....

    I still don't get the dividing way...

    so say if this is right... please

    people pick a groupe and a lot size.

    the lot size determens their budget
    the group what the lot needs to represent AND for each groupe there is a winner
    you can turn in 1 lot pr. group... and in theroy they could all be bassed around the same shell.... (imagening that it is campus house remodeled by the groups)

    did I get that right?

    Anette, you are correct, except, it does not have to be a Uni house. It can be any house updated for a uni student. I'm updating the first page with this info. Thank sweet friend.
