Congrats on winning the advanced level @Laebeth great ensuite room and Congrats on placing @luckyheather and great ensuite room as well Thank you @Cbear13 for the feedback there are so many great ensuite rooms from everyone this challenge
I just got around to looking at all the Smurf rooms last night. They were all so cute! It's funny because you have an image in your own mind how you think each Smurf's apartment would look, and then you look at other people's designs and they're nothing like you would have done. They are all so different and creative and I got a lot of good, new ideas from each and every one.
Same goes for the bathroom ensuite challenges. So many great ideas that I hope no one will be offended if I borrow in the future. Your shoe closet blew my mind, @Laebeth ! I would never have thought to do something like that and I hope you won't be angry if I use it some day.
Anyway, congrats to the winners, @shakerella, @leashahampton and @Laebeth ! But I have to say, I thought they were all fantastic. I'm glad I'm not a judge, LOL.
@withlovejulien Coming from you that is a huge compliment, thank you so much!
@Liz_GoBucks You are most welcome to steal any ideas you see in anything I build! I think I speak for pretty much everyone too when I say that. That's why we share right? To learn from each other I have learned tons from watching this thread, and I shamelessly steal ideas all the time Thank you very much for that wonderful comment, I am glad you liked the room!
Firstly Congrats to the Winners @shakerella@leashahampton@StangMix2@Laebeth and all the runners up.
Thank you @Cbear13 for my 2nd place in the Advanced level I am so pleased and thanks very much to everyone for the Congrats
Now to catch up with the 'Smurfy' apartments : ) @coolsim9999999 Papa Smurf is enjoying his new city apartment with items to remind him of back home in the village, plus new things they dont have like a big television and modern radio. I bet he is dancing to pop music when no one is watching @Liz_GoBucks your Chefs apartment has a fun back story about grilled cheese and more! I bet chef loves that cool kitchen he has with great wall covering and plenty of spices and oils to use. Great seeing him making new friends and enjoying their company at the dinner table with a roaring fire and wall television. @withlovejulien your apartment for Brainy Smurf has a lovely display of bookcases around the fireplace for him to store all his books. There are so many things for him to enjoy and learn from including instruments and how to relax using Yoga.He is going to love his big bed and his talking toilet with displays
You know, I still have a T-shirt I wear to this day, bought on a trip to NY about a decade ago, with brainy smurf and a heart with the text: "I love nerds". haha
I really wanted to do this challenge, and I would have probably picked brainy, but I doubt I have time I have too much I want to do, and too little time sadly I am having a great time not only watching the apartments coming in, but all the creative smurf sims too! I'll be aiming for the next challenge instead, that and working on my gazebo. lol.
@luckyheather Thank you very much Can't remember if I said so, but big congrats on placing! It just shows what we already know; you are a force to be reckoned with! Eeeek!
'Laebeth I wish I had that T-shirt as I love the Smurfs now after watching 3 Movies and Gargamels Cat Azrael has me and my hubby in stitches and he doesn't laugh a lot
I hope you do something for Brainy sometime he is so cool and cute I have got so addicted to them I have made some more sim smurfs and Gargamels castle cant wait to be able to make his cat as well.
Thanks for the congrats and that huge compliment I grinned and giggled Lol and still am when I see the Eeeeek! Its funny I think others are much better than me even though I have been building and playing since Sims 1 and I would be lost without these games as health prevents me doing much. Thanks again for making my day
Congrats to you @Laebeth!! So well deserved it was an awesome design!!
And thank you @Cbear13 for the critique, I could have sworn I bulldozed and replaced the room to check for things disappearing, but I must have missed the shoe rack, also, I'll be more careful with my hashtags and placement in future!
@Cbear13 in the challenge description you said to use the shell with the lowest wall height, but the apartment uses the medium wall height. Am I just confused or is the description wrong?
That would explain why the windows disappeared when @okester placed the shell

Chosen Smurf: Smurfette
Notes about entry: I wanted to show off Smurfette's love of flowers and her impeccable style. This challenge was incredibly out of my comfort zone; generally I don't use many bright colors so I tried to use them well. I hope you enjoy it.
Images:
The furnishing of Smurf’s Sanctuary looks very nice! @Paigeotto Very nice blue colour scheme of the room! The flowers in the nook area with the mirror look so pretty! The paintings are a nice touch on the wall, and the confetti wall print adds a special look to to the area! Smurfette will like checking her appearance in the mirror. The fashion model wall picture there is a great touch, It looks great the way that the patterned wall divider separates off the area. Very nice sofa seat sitting area in the living room. She will enjoy relaxing there watching tv or reading a book. The bunny is cute on the book shelf! The plants and the floral prints add a very nice look to the room areas and suit Smurfette well! She will like sitting at the desk table using the computer. The blue and white floor rug looks great in the room! Very nice dressing nook! The patterned closet, and the clothes and shoes racks will be liked by the fashion conscious Smurfettte! Very nice design of the kitchen and dining area. The colours and type of dining table and chairs used look very nice. The lattice flowers on the cabinets look very pretty!
It is a very nice floral, plants and fashion themed apartment for Smurfette
So technically @lisalittlesimmer that would be critiqued because the cabinet is sticking into the column, but here is where our judging gets tough on us because I can see your using the columns as decoration and also to cover joins in different wall coverings so it may look a little weird leaving one off there.
Also with the kitchen design you cant move the counters/cabinets over to the left so that its not touching but you could hold down the ALT button and see if you can move them all forward but I doubt that would work with cabinets attached to the walls.
For me on the safe side I would leave the column off there.
Or if you really want it there for the decoration to match you can take the risk and put a note on your entry form about it saying your aware of it and that it looks unfinished or strange to remove the column and that there is no way to move the cabinets away from it. Then its left in our hands to decide whether to critique it. How I do that is I fiddle with it to see if there was a better solution to prevent it including if the room looks fine without that column there.
So techincally its a placement error but sometimes they cant be helped like curtains sticking into walls when placed near corners its a bit of a game flaw
oh god i got another one why do I make it so hard for myself .D I love the column design though i don't want to remove them @Cbear13 (sorry for the spam here oops)
Yeah another tough one I tend to try not be overly picky with columns if its a free standing item sticking into one I would definitely critique it but with built in items I am a bit more lenient.
Again just make notes of them on your entry form chances are we wouldn't critique them unless we could see a way of easily avoiding it
@Cbear13 ok thanks, I guess I should just do it and learn it that way @leashahampton yeah that's what's so frustrating for me.. I wish we could do that
@lisalittlesimmer well you can in some sense it the column used looks cleanly stuck into something like its been cut and built in you put a note on your entry form that its on purpose that way but we need the notes so we know what your intention is otherwise we think you just put the column there and didnt realise it was sticking into something.
Blue Culpepper is a very nice apartment for Hefty Smurf! @lisalittlesimmer The blue and grey colour scheme of the room looks very nice. Very nice furnishing of the room areas. It is great that there is a nook area for him to enjoy using the weights machine to keep fit. The sports equipment on the floor there and the sports poster suits Hefty well! The type of floor mat uses goes well with the wall texture.,Very nice design of the kitchen! The blue kitchen cabinets look great on the brick wall texture and the wall utensils, spiceset , cookie jar , wall knives, and hanging pans are nice kitchen touches. The cookbooks and plants look great on the island table. The patterned floor adds a nice look to the area. Very nice open plan living and dining area. The tv nook looks great how it has been created! The brown cabinets look nice placed either sides of the tv , and shelves with the plants, books, candle and sports team picture look very nice! He will enjoy sitting resting on the sofa watching tv or have fun playing console games. The vase of flowers looks very pretty in the room area. He will enjoy crafting items on the woodwork table. The white and blue wall and floor tiling, and the circles floor prints look great in the bathroom. Very nice master bedroom! The trees prints are nice touches on the walls. The gnome is cute there! The basket ball is a great sports touch. The shoes rack and toiletries are nice home touches.
Hefty will enjoy living there!
@Paigeotto your Smurfs Sanctuary is very pretty for Smurfette with lots of lovely flowery things for her to make her feel at home in the city : ) Love the flowers on the wall and flowing plants over the kitchen wall units : ) just lovely. @lisalittlesimmer I think you did incredibly well for knowing little about the Smurfs as Hefty is into lifting weights! so perfect for him and I think the blue shades are too as he is such a guy : ) you even added some trees into the bedroom, great as they all love nature. I think it should be a normal entry its a lovely apartment : )
