Ok! It's time to lotto again! The winner will get some surprise gifts off of his/her wishlist, that I will pick. Something around 200 simpoints, more or less depending on what I find on your wishlist. No proxy gifting, you can only enter for yourself. To enter this weeks lotto please use the picture below for inspiration to recolor an outfit or object and take a single in game screenshot to post here.
The inspiration photo comes from a magazine I got this month. I've seen this retroish style poping up here and there. They called it color blocking in the magazine; I call it checkerboard; but whatever floats your boat right? Just let me see you rocking this style in game.
No exchage upload is required, just a screenshot of something recolored in a checkerboard print.
Here is an example screenshot. Please keep your max width at under 600.
Lotto will close for entries around midnight Thursday. so you've got about a day and a half to enter.
Hello, Everyone! Hope your day is going well. I'm still trying to get my toddler to take a nap. Think I might go out and buy a copy of the Hobbit and watch it tonight. I've got one entry for the lotto so far.
Also do we have to upload it?/once the lotto is over can we delete it out of our studio?
If you're asking about the lotto, any outfit, or object is fine. No upload is required, just a screenshot of something recolored in a checkerboard print.
The simsigual dress is very well done for the game limitations. I like it!
You did misunderstand what I wanted, a little bit, but I'm fine with your effort. I did say inspired by so that's kind of open to interpretation anyway. It's a cute gingham dress, anyway.
I just got back from the store, don't even have my stuff put away yet, but wanted to check in. :XD: It's been one of those days... My little guy wouldn't eat at at lunch or supper now he wants to devour everything in site.
Werepoet, I love your fairy's dress. That jumper is really cute on her.
Loppie your entry is really good, too -- but that first dress you did that didn't meet the criteria is amazing. You really nailed your inspirational picture!!

Good Morning; just trying to give everybody a chance to see that the lotto is open by sending this back to the first page. Is this one of the weeks new store content comes out?
Good morning, BV, and thanks for the inspiration. I don't use the checked pattern very often, but I rather like how this came out. I'll probably upload it in a bit and include it in my showcase. Thanks for hosting!

That yellow is really close to the color I painted the walls in my house. Checkerboard looks quite well on that dress.
When I read wedding set, I was like :? Meh, we have a wedding set already... but then I saw the pic and the part of me that runs wild waving her money at EA reared her ugly head. :roll: I just hope it's not another venue...
I'd like to enter.
I've been lurking in this thread for awhile.
Hopefully, this bathing suit has enough of the trend.
My sim just aged up to a young adult, but of course my game had to crash during her makeover.
I can't spend more than a couple of minutes in CAS without it crashing ever since seasons.
I was working on an everyday outfit for her using your trend, but I didn't save it in time.
@Blysscia Thanks for joining us. I assume since you shared two dresses with links you wanted a showcase and added you to the directory. I think after looking at your recolors everyone is in the mood for nice spring colors.
@LilyParker You haven't set up a showcase yet have you? I'm going to feel stupid if I missed it. :XD: Everybody looked at me like I was nuts when I picked yellow paint, but most of them had to admit it looks bright and cheery in here now.
:!: This will be my last check in; when I come back the lotto will close. Thanks!
The way you have done the bathing suit looks good @ Blysscia I like how you used the pattern for the top of the clothes and then it contrasts with the rest of the outfit. I am sorry about your game crashes!

Nope, I haven't set up a showcase yet. :oops: You didn't miss it. I'm just being indecisive. Perhaps tomorrow will be the day I finally follow through.

Hi -- thanks for the info on changing picture size. I think it worked, yay!
Here is one of my sims wearing a dress in a checkerboard pattern with a matching hat. Hope this is what you were after. Thanks!

Thank you, rosemow. I'm glad we had both the small and large checkerboard patterns. I liked combining the two.
