That's so funny @RivendellStar because Cbear and I were saying this challenge was made for you! I'm sure if you find time to enter it will be stunning! My hubby brought our laptop with us on vacation and I've started a Camelot build but I feel like it could take a year and I'm a quick builder lol
Thanks @lisa17ann Yeah, this build is going to be massive and take forever lol. I just keep thinking of more things I want to add. I look forward to seeing your spin on Camelot Hope you have a great vacation!
just wanted to take a second to recognize those who perform the judging on these challenges. Just want to say thanks and how impressed I am at the level of detail you guys are using as judging factors. your feedback is making me slow down and look closer at my work and I think that is good for me. I have to say I'm somewhat embarrassed at the number of errors I made in Hugs and Kisses. But in hindsight I did move through it kind of quickly. I scrapped five other amusement parks before finding my inspiration so I think once it hit me I was working quite fast to get it down before it left my head. My error is, that in my excitement, I upload my entry right away when I think I need to take a couple days to look it over. I don't like doing that....it's boring....I also don't like play testing...it's boring to me also. When it comes to Sims I am a true builder/designer....I have little connection with the Sims themselves. I'm probably in the 1% of players who are completely unaffected by the lack of toddlers. When I was a kid I would spend an entire day building a house for my Barbies and stage scenes but then never play with the dolls themselves. Kynna weird. Also, I have cataracts that are progressing and the doctors won't operate until they are more advanced. Thanks! So I need to think about that also and check more carefully. Anywho, thank you again to @Cbear13 and the judges!
Thank you @Archer_Girl, I wouldn't be embarrassed at all your park was amazing and the errors were quite small. It is very rare to find larger builds with no errors at all. I have to agree with you about the sim testing even though I do it so much with judging which I don't mind because its other peoples creations and I love playing them but when it comes to my own I find it quite boring.
Im also one that isn't bothered by the no toddlers though I do play the sims as well as build, lol that gave me a giggle about your barbie's.
Sorry to hear about the cataracts, my dad had them. He wore those super thick glasses his whole life so when he got them he was going completely blind but after they did the laser surgery he didn't even need his glasses anymore which was amazing for him since he couldn't see without them his whole life. Im surprised they wont operate yet and I hope they do before they get to bad for you.
@Cbear13 I was just thinking that it is going to take the judges a month to go through all of the castle builds lol. Great minds think alike Hopefully it won't take that long. Thanks to all the judges for all of the time and effort you put into these challenges!!!

I just noticed that i didnt take not even one picture with all roofs showing, that's really embarassing ahah gonna make another serious photo as soon as i can!
Camelot looks so very,very great! @kerplukee The exterior design of the castle and layout of the build looks so very great! The towers and roofing look so very nice! The castle fencing walls around the edges of the lot look great! The type of and placement of the windows in the build look very nice. The open gate entrance looks very nice! The Knights look great there. Very nice design of the throne room! The red carpet pathway to the throne and the blsck and white floor pattening looks very great! The interior wall texture gives a great medieval castle feel to the build. The throne are is very nice! The red curtain looks very nice draped on the wall, and the candles and knights look great placed either sides of the throne! The Knights are standing guard ! Very nice dining room! The long dining table looks so very great! The type of dining chairs used suits well the castle theme. Sims will enjoy eating meals together there at the table. The fireplace will keep the sims warm whilst dining. The candles, portait, birds and dog sculpture add great looks to the room.
The castle looks very nice!
@kerplukee love your castle and great throne lol I love the sim sitting on it. You are more than welcome to enter intermediate if your more comfortable with that to start, as its for those new to the competition and especially if you are new to building large. The judges will always evaluate it while judging also to see what level we think it should be.
@cbear13 I'm thinking of creating King Arthur for this monthly challenge. Does he have to wear old style clothes and look like a knight in shining armour (which I couldn't really find) or can he look like a modern, suave, King Arthur?
@cbear13 Sorry to ask you again, but if I'm attempting to build a castle for this challenge, am I allowed to include TV and computers even though it's supposed to be Medieval?
Good question
I wouldnt go overboard with electronics though Im fine with you putting them in for sim activites
one of the requirements is "Castle set in medieval times" so you dont want to make it look to modern

Good luck to you all!
