Hey everyone!
I’m currently bored of the lots in my town & am going to completely sweep it all & fill it with newness!! It got me thinking, “hey, why not make this fun & have a competition?!!”
There are 2 categories to this competition, the residential lot & the community lot. Each part has its own prizes & you can enter either or both. It is possible for one person to win both. If you’re interested in taking part just read the posts below & use the entry form underneath. Please use multiple forms for multiple entries. Closing date has been extended to 17th May 2pm GMT & winners will be announced later that day.
I am happy for you to design with whatever sort of theme you like HOWEVER I will be completely honest & tell you that I do not like drab/Victorian/gothic looking houses. I’m not saying it has to be majorly colourful or that grey & black shouldn’t be used, just that houses should be welcoming & not remind you of a dungeon.
If you would like to build a residential lot you can choose from the following:
a) starter home
b) family house
c) lap of luxury
d) farmhouse
e) apartment
f) bachelor/bachelorette pad
g) the occults lair
h) If you would like to make another please either send me an email or comment on the forum for approval
You can choose either of these lot sizes but please make sure that they work with the lot you are building. For example no starter homes on lot sizes bigger than 30 x 30.
10 x 10
20 x 20
25 x 25
30 x 30
40x40
60 x 60
64 x 64
Community Lot
I am after a few different types of community lots:
a) bustling shopping district (with supermarket, spa, bookstore etc all on one lot) – must be at least 40 x 40 sized
b) community garden
c) fire station
d) consignment store/elixir consignment store
e) community pool
f) gym
g) cemetery
h) park
i) coffee shop
j) salon
k) junkyard
l) bar
m) club
n) arcade
o) bowling alley
p) wedding lot
q) horse ranch
These can be on any lot sizes you like.

Floor plan (room placement / building layout)
Exterior (landscaping)
Décor (the use of buy objects inside & outside, colour schemes including walls & carpets)
Overall look (how everything comes together)
Compliance (have you stuck to the rules?)
Each category will have a 1st place, 2nd place and honourable mention with the same prizes.
1st place – full studio recs & 1000 simpoints (or if in another country 1000sp worth of items on wishlist)
2nd place – ½ studio recs & 500sp worth of wishlist items
Honourable mention – studio rec on competition entry & 100sp worth of wishlist items
I've decided that if this competition gets enough attention & all the lots on my list get built & entered then there will be a bonus prize. The winner of the bonus prize will be completely picked at random just to show that I appreciate everyones hard work even if you don't place
Is there a specific world you plan to tear down so I can build to that theme?
I haven't decided yet but I'm going to incorporate bits from different worlds so pick whatever theme you like.
Now open!! I'm excited to see if this gets any interest. I'm open to ideas as well with things such as the deadline which may seem a little soon. Judges are needed too but will not be able to enter.
I would be happy to make an elixir consignment store for you, Im guessing you live in the us right. Which town are you scrapping just so I can stick to a world theme?

Awesome, I'll add you to the entrants list in a bit. I'm in the UK
I haven't decided which world to go for yet but either way I'm going to interpret different parts of each world in to it anyway so choose whichever theme you like best.
@lilgalcherelle Yes way I don't bump into people often but it seems the Brits are builders 8) I have name's for the two lots now Elixir Store : Hubble , Bubble , Boil and Trubble Potion Store Gym : Explosions Muscle Toning Gym And Beauty Spa
Is there a specific town that you plan to tear down? Then I could build to match that town's style. Also can I suggest a new type of house: After-starter. It's that type that is affordable for sims that want something more than a starter home but can't have the amazing stuff yet
Also, can we submit something that's in our studio already? If so - I'll pick out one thing and build more. If not - feel free to have a browse through my studio if there's a shortage of houses
nerdy - I haven't decided which world yet but I'm definitely going to incorporate lots of different themes in different parts of the world so pick whichever you want. Unfortunately it cannot be something that has already been built as I don't think that's really fair on other entrants but I'll definitely have a look through your studio.
aricarai - I must admit, I'd love to live in the states & holiday in the US quite often, must be nice experiencing living in both. I hope you get time to enter! & np!

@JABWARRIOR1 - No way! I rarely bump into anyone on the forums from the UK! Looking forward to your entry/entries.
JABWARRIOR1 - Really like those names. Creative.
nerdy3000 - Sounds like you're going to be busy! Looking forward to seeing your entries, keep me updated with how you're getting on.
twiddle3 - I was hoping someone would build a large park. I'm hopeless at them. Like really pathetic.
I hope you will like it I am going to take a few pictures then I will upload it!
Oh yay, I didn't expect anything completed so soon. I'll have a look as soon as you post. I'm sure I'll love it! *squeals with delight*
I'm definitely bookmarking this - not sure if I'll have time, but if I do I'll most likely do a residential lot!
Thanks for hosting, m'dear!
