    Could it be the pattern I used?

    I'll check it myself soon. But I don't have cc in game. I only have patterns from the exchange made from CAP tool.

    gr1zzly: I noticed there are two items in the score plan that are quite similar to me, namelly playability and floor plan/routing but there is no item for the exterior. My suggestion would be to replace floor plan/routing with exterior if this is OK for You.

    I agree with you Agnezewars, the exterior look of the castle has to be a major feature of the upload. What do you think Gr1zzly?

    Pallypoo, when you checked the file in custard, did you redownload from the exchange? Ive heard that files can get attached on upload, so if you are just checking your in game file you may not pick up the issue. I would suggest you download the file to a folder on your desktop then check that in custard.

    Gr1zz, I'm going to agree with the other judges on the duplicate category issue and go with exterior.

    I downloaded the file as you said, saving it to desktop, and it showed up the same as what you showed in the picture.

    I am pretty sure that file is the pattern I used. I uninstalled the pattern, Then removed the file and then reinstalled the pattern and the file showed up again.

    I also downloaded a dress recolored with a CAP pattern and it showed up the same way, as the pattern being a corrupt file.

    I am assuming I am the only one that used CAP patterns?

    Which one do we go for, 1 has 5 points one has 10. I would suggest exterior is 1-5 points (replaces playability) and playability/routing is 1-10 (replaces routing)

    Edit, I managed to get it finally! Checked in custard and it is the same file that showing as a corrupt package in custard, but as CAP its just the .png that's corrupt, so it looks ok. Sorry about the mishap, that's the issue with using CAP I guess, but yours has checked out now.

    That makes me feel better. I was starting to feel like I was going to have to go throw up. I think I am going to go set on the sofa for a bit and watch TV.

    Thank you for the heads up on mypage. I'll add a description to my entry and make sure the entry form is up to date as well. I hadn't realized change had been made. I'm out at the moment and posting from my phone, but it will be done before the contest closes.
    Thanks again!

    Hopefully I'm not too late, had trouble uploading it and timezones confuse me :wink:

    My first castle... I never realised how much effort went in to them. Recs to everyone on here, your castles are amazing!

    Entry form:
    User name: MiszMayhem
    Name of lot: Belegost Stronghold
    Town where lot is built: Monte Vista
    Lot size: 64x64
    Link to lot: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=7379852
    Pics:
    screenshot_original.jpg
    screenshot_original.jpg
    screenshot_original.jpg

    screenshot_original.jpg

    All pics were taking during the test play, so most feature sims...

    After losing their castle in the realm of Dragon Valley to a fierce battle, the Belegost people were driven to a distant shore, forced to establish a keep and gather their forces. Hoping to one day win back their castle and return to their former glory. Hints to their heritage remain, the few dragon scales they have left are lingering reminders to their beloved land and pasts long gone. Belegost stronghold has stable and kennel facilities, and can be completely self sufficient, with a chicken coop, beehive and vegetable garden. The 2 royal bedrooms are upstairs, with sleeping facilities for the barracks downstairs. No amenities are provided for the townsfolk, as they would usually reside outside of the castle wall.

    I've updated my entry post to include a description of the castle. Amazing to realize how long it's been since this contest was announced! Thank you so much for hosting such a great contest! I really enjoyed creating my submission.

    Hi Miszmayhem, your file has not passed custard, it shows these 3 corrupt .package files. I checked back to the CAP links and it is not those files

    Can one of the other judges have a look in custard at this file as well please, just to confirm what I have found. Thanks

    Your castle is great @ MiszMayhem :) Great background details to the castle. The exterior of the castle suits Monte Vista world. It looks good the way you have done the throne room, with the raised platform which the throne is on, the pillars either side, and the red carpet in the front of it. A great entry!

    Really? I suppose I'll have to download custard and have a look. I have no idea why...

    I've never downloaded CC aside from CAP.

    Any recommendations on what to do about it?

    most of those are png files -picture files so are not a problem. You will always get them like that if you download to the desktop and not the launcer. I will download the file and look at it properly to see what the other files are

    check_zpsd98a9a5b.png

    As you can see they are patterns - not cc the image files dissapear because it has been downlaods striaght into the launcher nt to desktop.

    Also looking at the way your custard is displaying the lot I thinbk you ahve an old version of it - the latest version is the one with the numbers you see in my screenshot v1.1.4110
