Hi everyone!
I've been away from the forums for a while (since the forums got moved to the new site), but I have a couple duplicate serial codes for items I already own and figured, what better way to make my return than with a giveaway?

Entering is easy. I want to hear about your favorite sims creations of all time. Whether it is a favorite sim, pet, build, story or even a video or some other creation, as long as it was made with the Sims--any of them, 1-4--it counts! I would prefer to see your own creations and hear where your inspiration came from, but if you have a particularly treasured creation of someone else's that is your favorite, that's okay, too, just include a little bit about why it is so special to you. Please include a few pictures and/or links, whatever is appropriate for your creation of choice.

Prizes
1 - Lucky Simoleon Casino code
1 - Hidden Springs code
1 - 500sp in store items

There will be a separate drawing for each prize (and possibly more sp prizes if the ads treat me well). Each entry will put your name on the list for one of the possible prizes. Everyone can enter for each prize once, but can only win one prize. For fun entries are welcome as well! :) Entries will be accepted until noon EST on Saturday, March 21. Drawings will be made using random.org shortly after that time. My preferred method for delivering the code prizes is by gifting a small store item (30sp or less) and including the code in the message with the gift, so I ask that you include a preferred item and link to your wishlist as part of your entry. If you own the store, or at least all the less than 30sp items, we'll figure something else out.

Entry Form
Username:
Wishlist:
Prize Section (Casino, HS or SP):
Store Item (less than 30sp):
Creation:
Inspiration/Why it's your favorite:

I think that's everything and I hope it all makes sense! I'm looking forward seeing your entries and hope you have a fun day!

Edit: Because it is coming up a lot...
Nominations:
Nominations are welcome for the simpoint prize pool. You can also enter for the other two prizes, which are codes which can redeemed for their respective content, and if you win them, you can then give them to whomever you would like. :)

    Example Entry

    Weird, even though I'm not a new member, it won't let me edit pictures into this post. So, don't think this means you can't post pictures direction into the entry, because that is fine, it just isn't allowing me to.

    Inspiration/Why it's your favorite: I made this for a vacation home contest. My inspiration picture showed little more than a wall and walkway on the edge of a pond with trees, so the floor plan is all of my own imagining. It was my first serious attempt at doing any landscaping beyond a few bushes and trees and I'm really proud of how it came out. I think it's my favorite because I wish I could live there more than any other home I've built, although I guess it wouldn't be very practical during winter. :)

    hello! I was wondering if I am allowed to join even though I already have Hidden springs?
  • Options
    KaytayRoallKaytayRoall Posts: 923 Member
    Yes! You are completely welcome to enter for either of the other prizes. You can also enter to win Hidden Springs if you have someone you would like to give the code to if you win it, I don't insist on you using it for yourself. I forgot to mention that in the original post. Thanks for stopping by and for your question! :) I hope you choose to enter and have fun simming!

    I would like to enter. I would like to enter myself for the sp and Hidden Springs. I know some one who would like Hidden Springs. I will do the proper entery forum either later today or some time next week. Thank you for doing this contest.

    Thank you for the contest!!
    I'd like to enter myself for all the prizes (I already own HS but I would like to gift it to a dear friend :smiley: ) :smiley:
    My favourite creation is the Sim Sephira Sweetheart (http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8589146)
    In love her because she's more or less my simself (a little bit prettier than me and has wonderful blue eyes that I don't have ;)). Her dream is to become a firefighter (this is not my dream) but I chose this profession for her because I like the idea of helping people.

    @VioletHorse - Thank you for your interest! I look forward to seeing your entries. :)

    @shaliny1997 - Sephira is a beautiful sim! I especially like her formal outfit. It's a lovely take on a dress that can be hard to use well. The firefighter career path sounds like a lot of fun to play as well as being satisfying. I'm not sure why I haven't tried it before... I hope you have a lot of fun playing with Sephira and thank you for your entry. :) There was supposed to be an entry form, but I see now my first post got cut short. Sorry about that, I don't know how it happened. I'll go remedy that now. If you have time to fill it out once I have it posted, I'd appreciate it.

    That contest sounds interesting. I've got one question: can our favourite Sim be an animal?

    Wow... Never thought I'd have to deal with being "approved", since I was already a member, but okaaaay.

    Entry Form Take Two:

    Prize Section : SP
    Store Item (less than 30sp)
    Creation: You can find my sims story, pictures, and download link right here.
    Inspiration/Why it's your favorite: I only have a few favorite sims (also in the link), but this one is a little different because he happened by total accident. I wasn't happy with the other sim I was trying to make and, as a fun thing to do, I just started messing around with the sliders and came up with Byron Grotesque. It was really fun.

    I also like this sim because he reminds me of Mojo Jojo from the PowerPuff Girls. :D Oh, childhood memories. <3

    Hi @KaytayRoall, good idea for a contest. I love hearing about the creations and inspirations of others!
    Most people have great stories and lovely pics.
    I'm very new with creating my own ideas and unique sims and stories, so it's not spectacular.
    But I hope you like it. ^^

    Inspiration/Why it's your favorite: I love gardening sims, it so romantic and idealistic to me. I wanted a green garden little paradise for my sims. So I built this garden for them, including a special made gardening area. It's small, but it's ok for them, they don't have very much money, so there is not that much room for a garden. I admit it maybe doesn't look that special at first glance, but I'm very happy with the light, positive, natural appearance of the complete view.

    Inspiration/Why it's your favorite: Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a little obsessive with all things Alice in Wonderland. Last June, I hosted my very first competition for Alice madness returns (Avatar) and in preparation for the comp, I spend days in cas working on the Cheshire. I think this creation as so many memories for me as I met some amazing friends in that comp. Fun fact: This is the only creation that as not been uploaded to the exchange but is probably my most greatest creation.

    Creation: Sweet Rose Tea Shop
    Inspiration/Why it's your favorite: I made this tea shop for Rosemow and it is my favorite because it reminds me of her. :) It is filled with flowers that represent her sweetness and fresh tea that represents her warmth and kindness.

    Inside, it has a dining and tea room, cushioned window seat, and lounge with fireplace. A canning station for sweet scones/jam is in the kitchen, along with a baking oven for sweets. Sims can grab a cup of coffee at the coffee station if they tire of tea. A teapot shaped swimming pool with "steaming" spout is in the lounge.

    It is landscaped with lots of rose bushes, hydrangeas and other lovely flowers to surround Rose with some of the sweetness she brings us. It is also surrounded by a stream stocked with fish and a drawbridge. The rose-covered awning is attached to a swing for Sims to enjoy a little fun outside. The front porch has a tea pot for warming up on a cool day, and a little white bench beneath the shade for relaxing on a warm day.

    Hi everyone! Sorry I've been quiet the last couple days, they have been very busy for me, but I'm excited to see more entries and I'll do my best to answer questions and respond before I fall asleep at my keyboard.

    @60smusicluvr - Byron Grotesque is a very unique and awesome sim! I love the history you've written for him as well. Being creative is all about delving into the unknown and taking things a step further--or pushing a slider just a little farther. He is a very happy accident and I was impressed by the other sims in your thread as well. Thank you for sharing! :)

    @izaap - What a lovely, homey little garden! I play gardening sims a lot and always enjoy building gardens. The faire folk fences are a great choice and your attention to detail with the terrain paints, putting a little stepping stone path winding through it, is wonderful. :) Thank you for entering and I hope you have fun continuing to create with the sims.

    @Shannen - Your Cheshire cat with its mix of skeletal and natural markings is very cool! And that is wonderful that you have so many happy memories tied in to this creation. Do I remember you having that as your avatar at one point? As for nominations, I'm willing to accept them for the simpoint prize. You can also enter for the other prizes and if you win them, you can do whatever you want with them--including gifting them to someone else, because they are just codes to redeem for the product. I hope that answers your question. If you let me know which prizes you want to be entered for, I would be happy to add you to the list. If not, thank you for taking the time to make a for fun entry! :)

    @brandi22 - I have had some experience myself with rosemow's kindness and it is so sweet you made a build for her! And it suits her so well, too! The time and care you've put into it is clear and I wish I had her eye for detail to tell you all the amazing points about this cozy teahouse creation. Unfortunately I don't, so I'll just have to settle for saying the teapot pool is very creative and the landscaping is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing! :)

    @KaytayRoall I believe when I first spoke to you in the welcome thread, I had Cheshire as my avatar. I love how he turned out..rather proud of him. :) So you have a brilliant memory :) I have edited my original post to add my nomination...since the sp would be greatly appreciated. :) Thankyou again for allowing a nomination and being so generous with this thread. :)<3

    Inspiration/Why it's your favorite: I had been trying to get out of the typical sims and when I came across this skin I just knew I would use it. she is a very interesting teen she is very into her garden and prefers to eat what she grows, she has a hard time at school as she is so different then most of the kids in Midnight Hollow, yes I have her in midnight hollow, thought that having such a bright and cheery outdoorsy sim living there would be fun and it is. Her dress texture is actually a texture for grass and she has a flower tattooed on her forearm. her necklace was specifically chosen and the colors are the colors of berries. she is one of my favorites I have made besides my me sim (avatar) and Aerith my Lunar lakes sim. I love to make new sims and hope to one day do a whole town with all my sims living in it as npcs with skills and traits kept from previous games

    @sunsetsorbet - Thank you for the nice comment on my tea shop. It was very fun to build. :) Your Style Warehouse is so cute and fashionable, and perfectly built! How did you get the mannequins? Are they available in buy mode?
