    Ok Q and A Time...

    Scorpio....

    This one was answered the FAQ section but no worries, I am always updating it so it can be easy to over-look.
    1. You state we may enter up to 4 times between the four different sections so does that mean we can only enter 1 fraternity brother, 1 sorority member, etc. or can we say enter three fraternity members and one fraternity house?

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Q: The number of entries you allow always changes, How many times can I enter this contest?

    A: Since this is a two part contest to keep things simple I am going to allow a total of 4 entries between both parts. The theory behind this is that you can enter 2 CAS and 2 Build entries however since I know not everyone can build or likes to create Sims you can mix and match your 4 entries however you wish. So feel free to enter 3 Sims, 1 build; 4 Sims; ect.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Q. Do you want the Sims uploaded from CAS or as a household?

    A: Which every way you prefer. If your Sim comes with Skills/items upload them as a household, if they are straight out of CAS feel free to upload them that way. This is going to depend greatly on how you wish to do your entry.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    ERJ...

    Q: Do you want a special lot size?

    A: Lot size is up to you. Remember it is a frat/Sorority House so you need at least a few different bedrooms and such, so take that in consideration but lot size is up to you!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Ok, I thought we needed some inspiration to help get those creative juices flowing!

    So here is the front entrance to a Sorority.

    Hiya Sky!

    Just a quick question: I know it states no CC, but if I use a skin that won't transfer with the download (only will show in pictures) - is that okay?

    Edit: Oops, sorry, never mind. Read the rules again and the answer is in there. :oops:

    Will it show in your pictures? If so then no, since it would impact the judging of your images.

    I actually have a question that is not in the rules this time (I double checked 8) )

    I'm assuming the major that we pick has to actually be one that can be picked in game, correct? Or can it be any? (Sorry if this is a really stupid question, I've been a space nut recently and kind of slow on the uptake :oops: )

    This is a really good question, and being that I love a good story. I am going to say you can pick anything you want. Make one up if you wish (but if you do - give some details about it. lol). However, try to remember that the school is "Fine Arts" so try to keep it in lin with something that might be seen at a Fine Arts school - so Law might not be something you might wish to apply for. While you are welcome to, if I were a guessing person.... I would think the people looking at the applications might look more at fine arts students over business majors. Just a hunch of course!

    Right, right, that would make sense. Thank you. :)

    I'm almost done with the sorority (just got the landscape left and will finish that up tomorrow.)

    Can we post the sororities/fraternities before we have the sims made or should we wait until we can post all of them?

    You can post before, I believe.

    All of your entries should be in a separate post.

    Hope that helps :mrgreen:

    Lopithecus,

    Aricarai would be right you can post your entries in whatever order you wish - just make sure each entry is in its own separate post to keep things nice and simple for me and the other judges.

    I can not wait to see what you come up with!

    Thanks, both of you.

    All I have to do now is take some pictures and upload. Will be doing that after my class in a few hours.

    I hope you like it. It was really fun to build (especially since I have no clue what goes into a sorority so it's all guess work. :mrgreen: )

    Edit: Okay, so I actually don't have time right now to post it but tomorrow, it will definitely be posted. I've already uploaded it but just don't have time to post images and fill out the form.

    Creator's Name/Users Name: Lopithecus

    Fraternity or Sorority: Sorority

    House Name: Ivy House

    Tell Us About House: This house can fit up to six girls. It includes kitchen, dining, lounge, TV area, painting/drawing section, desk with a computer, half bath, full bath upstairs (two stalls, two sinks, two showers), entertainment area upstairs, and three bedrooms (each with a bunkbed). Outside there is a hottub, fire pit, bonfire, soccer, golf, horseshow, and water slippy slide.

    What Are The Common House Interests? What Are Some of the Things In the House To Do? There is painting and drawing/graphing (since it is for a Fine Arts University), there's also some soccer, Frisbee, golf, horseshoe, water slippy slide, bonfire, firepit, hottub, pool, foosball, darts, and a few other things.

    What Does Your Your House Do In Their Free Time? They practice their skills in order to get to the top.

    Tell us about the house layout. There's a kitchen, dining room, lounge, TV section, art section, half bathroom downstairs. Upstairs, it's pretty open to the right (facing from the front), three bedrooms to the left (bunk beds in each), then a full bathroom upstairs (two stalls, two sinks, and two showers).

    Who or What Influenced When Creating This House? (This Can be Real Person/House/Sorority Ect. Or Made Up - After All This is The Sims!): Well, who influenced me was the great Fuzzini, my high school art teacher. (Note: That is made up :wink: )

    Tell Us Some Specs/Important Details about Your House? Our house is all about the art. There's paintings and photos all over the walls in order to give inspiration. The theme that is throughout the house is mostly nature in order to give everyone a calming sensation while practicing their art.

    What is your House Motto? Believe in yourself until you succeed and when you do, keep believing in yourself. There's nothing you can't do. :mrgreen:

    What does your House Stand For? Art isn't everything, but art is life. We stand for the appreciating of all the art around us that makes for a better and happier life.

    What is your House Against? Thinking that no one is good at art. Don't say you can't draw, because if you can make a stick figure and a box house, then you can draw. :mrgreen:

    Do You Have House Colors? What Are Your House Colors? Blue, Pink, White

    Lastly, tell us why your house should be picked over other Fraternities or Sororities? Our house should be picked because we pride ourselves over making the world a better place filled with art to inspire.
