As you know, The Sims 3 series is finally starting to get really interesting. We have such wonderful things to look forward to such as University, Island Paradise and the future stuff. I can't wait. 8)
I am most excited for University because that was one of my favorites in TS2. I have truly missed the in between time for teens and YAs. You may recall in TS2 the slim pickings among rentals. The houses were either too small or strangely shaped. I always remodeled the houses to fit my sims.
Our sweet little simmies are about to walk right into A BRAVE NEW WORLD. When they do, they will need appropriate housing. I like houses that can fit 1 to 4 sims. I usually have my sims meet their prospective mates while in Uni. I move them in together and skill both. Since my simmies are poor, they really need ways to earn money, for example, painting, gardening, etc.
In addition to moving away from home, our little simmies will start interacting and identifying with a vastly diverse group of people. There will be jocks, nerds, goths, rockers, occult types, nomads (gypsies/carnies), fairies, aliens, islanders and the average Joe. They will all need housing that fits their personalities.
Well, enough of the reasoning behind this contest. Here's what you want to know:
"Pick a group and a lot size.
The lot size determines your budget
The lot needs to reflect the group you chose
For each group there is a winner
You can turn in 1 lot per group"
quoted because my friend Anettesb summarized this.
1. ABOSLUTELY NO THIRD-PARTY CC!!!!
2. Store content is fine. I own the store so go crazy.
3. I own all EPs/SPs. However, I will own University the day it comes out.
4. You may enter as many times as you wish but can only place once in each category.
5. The house must reflect the group chosen.
6. There are 6 lot selections. The price next to it reflects total cost, including
the lot. The final cost of each house should be at or under the maximum cost.
10x10 = 20,000
10x15 = 25,000
20x20 = 30,000
20x25 = 35,000
30x20 = 40,000
30x30 = 45,000
7. All building cheats are allowed.
8. BuyDeBug is allowed.
9. This does not have to be a new build BUT cannot be the same as entered in any
previous contest. It must be remodeled.
10. You must choose a social group for whom to build and follow their theme.
Remember, they are still University students. The themes listed below are only
suggestions. The groups are as follows:
(a) jocks - sporty
(b) nerds - techie, gamers, usually neat
(c) goths - dark, moody
(d) rockers - punkish, musical, junky
(e) occult types - depends on your occult
(f) nomads (gypsies/carnies)- carnivale feeling, circusy
(g) fairies - garden, light, airy
(h) aliens - out of this world
(i) islanders - they can't have a beach house but inside can look like one
(j) the average Joe - anything goes
(k) hippies - again, anything goes
(l) Fusion - a mix of any of the above.
11. Name your lot before you upload to the exchange
12. Be sure your lot is totally flat, as it will be used in more than one world.
13. Each house must have at least one bedroom, bathroom, study/den, kitchen/dining area and living room.
14. Pictures - max 6 - front, back, inside. More than 6, link to slideshow/album.
15. CAP patterns are fine. Please upload the link to the pattern and give credit to the creator.
16. HAVE A BLAST!! :thumbup:

thanks for telling me about this contest, I would love to enter
Due to rl I will not be able to enter a build before March, though. So don´t think I have fallen off the face of the earth just because you don´t read me until then
Thanks for hosting!
Bookmarking!
You? Entering another building competition, who would have guessed it! :twisted:
Hehe, couldn't resist.
I must admit this caught my eye too... maybe I might enter, let's see what I can come up with in my week off soon.
though there is some groups I feel is left out!
the artistic group (both painters/sculptures and drama/teater)
and the ambitius political... but maybe they belong in one of you preset groups?
Seriously, I want to help you judge.
Store Install
Unlocked Stencils
random legacy
i'm sure your a great judged...You will know what to look after
Whatever you choose, hun. I'll be grateful.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. I just looked at the title and realized I requested Judges and sponsors. I only meant to ask for judges.
No problem, hun. I didn't like the way the contest went down. I'm glad you decided to join this one, though.
Thank you for joining and allowing me to advertise on your thread. I must go bump it for you. I hope I'm not stepping on your toes. If so, I'll change the contest.
That shouldn't be a problem since you can use a previous build. I'll add you to the list and hope your computer problems get better. Thanks for joining.
I really hope your computer behaves. I love your builds. You have no idea how many of them are in my game from judging other building contests. I'd be very interested in seeing what you come up with.
See Rule #4. You can enter as many as you wish but can only place once in each category, meaning social group -- not each lot size.
Glad to have you.
Sure thing. Welcome aboard.
ARICAAAAAAAA!!!! How are you, sweetie. I see you're leaving your own mark around the forum. I have got to remember to raid your studio for sims.
I'd love to have you. You have almost 2 months. 8)
I love lurkers.
:-)
POTTER!!!!! Welcome. I'd love to see what you come up with too.
Anette, these particular groups can fall under any category. The "Average Joe" could be politically motivated. The "Nomads" could be artsy.
Most people are like onions and have lots of layers. For instance, you know personally, I'm a total diva. I need beautiful, expensive shoes and I love clothes. My hair has to be just so.... In other words, to someone who doesn't know me, I would appear to be conceited and stuck up. Those who know me know that I love to travel, can and will hold a conversation with anyone, read voraciously and am a total nerd and gamer geek, complete with red eyeglasses.
So, you see, these other qualities could very well fit any category.
You're totally locked in now! :twisted: Seriously, I'm glad to have you. It's not so bad. If you need help, you can always e-mail me.
Whew!!!! That was a lot of answering. Now, all I need to do is check on my other contest, start my Secret Admirer gift, make gifts for the Gifting Angel, run to the store and purchase Diesel so I can gift the winner of another contest the code.
Sheesh!! I'm tired already.
I know we got layers....
I still don't get the dividing way...
so say if this is right... please
people pick a groupe and a lot size.
the lot size determens their budget
the group what the lot needs to represent AND for each groupe there is a winner
you can turn in 1 lot pr. group... and in theroy they could all be bassed around the same shell.... (imagening that it is campus house remodeled by the groups)
did I get that right?

Pictures of my sims will be on my page
Anette, you are correct, except, it does not have to be a Uni house. It can be any house updated for a uni student. I'm updating the first page with this info. Thank sweet friend.
