    We are just under 6 hours away 2 the end of challenge 2!
    I have completed by scoring and await judges @issabella and guest judge @arefa to sumbit their scores over the weekend.

    A Thought while judging: Pictures and the actual download can be very different. That is why we strictly judge only from a downloaded perspective. WELL DONE 2 all the entries, I was blown away by every single one. <3

    I will hopefully have the "entries" video up later tonight so you guys can view these amazing submissions in one format :)

    Challenge 3 is screaming to be let loose and will make its appearance soon lol :p .

    I thought you were judging pics too because this was like a house selling comp. I pulled one of my horses out of the barn for a photo op. ;) Just like I put Hank next to his truck. Gotta sell the house! But yeah...three pics can't nearly show you the place! That's why I like photo gallery's for me as a spectator. :D

    Thanks for all the work, and for the judges. Also, imho, I don't especially want to have categories of "experienced" or "inexperienced." I hope that by playing in the contests and learning from the entries I will become a much better designer, and that depends on getting great competition ideas and good judging. I personally am much more interested in having the judges spend time designing contests and discussing individual entries than watching a potentially lengthy discussion of how to distinguish "experienced" versus "beginner" designers.

    @pammiechick The total score is out of 100, The pictures are most definitely part of the judging and counts for 20 points (advertising) The balance of the 80 points are made up from the downloaded build. Your Arabian stallion has been noticed as well as farmer Hank :)<3

    Great minds think alike @Zita1966z, I have just removed it and the floor is yours for the 3rd challenge. We are all looking forward to our new adventure. <3:)
    I just want to say thanks to all who participated in our 2nd Challenge, the farms are all amazing. I definitely have my work cut out for me tomorrow :)

    @professorlilith Thank you so much for your view on this issue <3

    As you all know from challenge 1 it was decided to have only one judge's view on a reno after it has closed(By also renovating the same build). @WrathofCath who was our guest judge in challenge 1 , was the judge to share her view on that weeks challenge. This week it was my turn to give my view on @issabella14 's shell. So here we go and I hope you like it. The budget was a killer and I had to rely on a lot of debug items.lol <3

    Lol! Okay...I wasn't worried, just hoping I wasn't breaking a rule of some sort that I didn't understand! ;)

    Poncherella Farm is very nice! @Zita1966z :) The patterning and the red and white colour scheme of the exterior looks very nice! The pond area in the front of the build looks very nice! It looks very nice how you have placed the plants around the edges of the pond, and the rocks and plants in the middle of the pond looks very nice! Sims will enjoy fishing there! The roosters are a nice farm touch in the build. It looks very nice how you have placed the circular items on each side of the front gate! They look great! The enlarged truck looks great in the build! It looks very nice how you have done the fencing in the areas of the build! Very nice harvestable garden area. It looks great how you have placed the gardening boxes there. Sims will enjoy growing and harvesting plants in the gardening boxes. The fruit crates are a nice touch there. Very nice roof covered outdoors cooking and dining area! Sims will enjoy cooking meals on the BBQ and sitting at the dining table, enjoying dining in the outdoors air. The fruit bowl, sauces, condiments bottles and utensils are nice kitchen touches on the counters and dining table there.
    The home is very nice :)

    @issabella14 Can we change color or style of spandrels, columns, and railings? Also, I noticed there is a set of doors on the back left side of the house that has no stairs. Would it be okay to add some? Would it be okay to replace a window that takes up three spaces with a window that takes up one space to fill the same three spaces?

    hmmmm that whole back structure on the shell is inaccessible, no stairs from the 1st or 2nd floor and the only way to put any in, would be to put them on the 2nd floor porch.
