    Hi everyone!!

    I have a question. Do I make the lot too? It is obligatory?

    Kisses-Besitos

    I don't think you have to do the Carnival too but I'll have to check with mrlabean to give you the final answer :-)

    No it is optional to do both.

    I have to run it through CUSTARD yet to check for CC I have not gotten a chance to get on my computer yet. Don't worry. If I find anything I will give you time to fix it even if its past the due date. But I will try to get on today to do that.

    6 more hours. If there is not anyone else working on an entry I might close early. I'll be back a little later to check in.

    I might be working on a park! Can't enter a family in that short amount of time unless I can use past sims though. xD

    Okay I'll close it in the morning then. No need to rush. I just didn't know if there was anyone else even close to entering. No need to rush too much. If you start a family and are close to finishing just let me know and I'll work with you. I just want to get the judging done over the weekend.

    Oh yay! I was just about to start on the park. Chose a lot and everything. Didn't want to rush it and make mistakes. xD Thank you!

    I might or might not start on a family. I don't really feel like doing 4 people from scratch, as it's very time consuming. xD So instead I'll just focus on the lot! You only have 2 lot entries, and then 3 families, so I'll make it even!

    I have been working on this build so long I am kinda sad I am done with it. I really had fun building a festival lot and putting all the fun activities into it. I am jealous of how creative everyone else is, they make is look so easy!! Great work you all!!

    On a personal note, I am so glad spring is finally here I love warmer weather! I really feel for those that are in the colder climates, I don't know how you do it. We had really strong storms roll through as most of the U.S. did yesterday and my thoughts and prayers to all of who were affect by the weather hope everyone stayed safe! I fear we have more of that to come.

    Four Willows Park is a great place for sims to enjoy visiting redkitty42 :) There are lots of fun activities for sims to enjoy doing, seeing and eating ! Great designing of the different areas of it! The layout of the four areas of the looks great! Child sims will have fun playing on the playground equipment and in the sand pit. . The alternating bees and rocket spring riders look great. Nice pool and pond area, It looks great how you have done the bridge over the top of it. Sims will enjoy fishing and swimming there. A family of sims will like cooking up a meal on the grill and eating it together in the outdoors air..It looks great how you have done the paving of the pathways from one area of the festival grounds to another. Great games area for sims to enjoy playing table tennis , golf, horseshoes , basketball or throw water balls It is great that you have chess tables for sims to have fun building up their logic skill out in the sunshine playing chess.It looks great how you have placed the arrow signs either sides of the entrances to the various areas of the lot, and have arches for sims to go under to enter the areas,The way you have placed the flowers through the build on either sides of the entrances to the four areas looks very nice. The balloons through the lot add a great fun atmosphere to the park. Great Spring dance area. Sims will enjoy dancing on the dance floor whilst other sims sit at the picnic tables watching them whilst eating snacks from the food stands. Sims will have fun competing in the seasonal eating competitions ! The water fountain feature in the middle of the park looks very nice how you have done it! Sims will like taking photos of their time at your park, as nice memories of spending time at the festivals there. Great indoor arcade games area. All through the build the sims in your pictures look like they are having lots of fun doing the various activities! The blue shade of colour you have used for the furnishings through the build looks nice and Spring themed. Sims will enjoy looking for Easter eggs through the park. The daffodils through the park look pretty and Spring themed.
    It is a great park to visit for Spring! :)

    Thank you rosemow for your nice words. Yes I really liked playing with the lot in my game. The family I made was able to go and not worry about their toddler (Jordan), he had lots to do as well as their young little girl (Juliet). I wanted to enter them as well but ran short on time. In fact they almost spent every day there and still did not get all of the activities in. Juliet was really good a the wack a gnome.

    Just stopping by and letting you know that I started it but wasn't able to work on it fully tonight!

    If this doesn't close first thing in the morning before I wake up, I'll be wedging it in!
    I'm actually quite excited to see how it turns out! O_O

    That's a really cute park, redkitty! I love the way you used the school colors, especially on the tiles around the fountain, I think that's really innovative :D


    Good luck, Mizore! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

    Bob and I had a thought about the Spring Fling King/Queen. With only 3 entries and all being females, Bob has agreed to increase the prize to 100sp and instead of judging make it a lotto.

    Those of you who entered please state your thoughts. :)

    Ugh. I'm sorry to say but I have to withdraw my attempt at an entry! I keep changing it, and I don't want to keep people waiting. My mind won't decide on one thing, and there's too many ideas floating around for me to test them and get them to work.

    I'm sorry I wasted your time. :(

    Good luck to everyone!
