Thank you @ciane and @mothersuperior2! I just whipped them together last night (and I'm sure folks will be able to tell in the build, it's very simple ), but I wanted something for this contest! And YAY!! @mothersuperior2, you made me remember that I did put a backup on my One Drive!!! Now I just have to figure out how to get rid of my bad games!
@gnlovew Wow! First entry already! Thank you for your entry, I'll get it posted on the front page as soon as I get caught up with the thread. I hope you're able to get your game sorted out! It's no fun when it gets messed up.
I am wiped out after having to uninstall and reinstall today. Luckily, I back everything up on an external hard drive so I didn't lose anything important. I had planned on doing this entry and the Sims Survivor entry but got the Survivor entry done and decided I have had enough of my computer today, lol! I will, however, begin working on this after I sleep for about a million hours Love your entry @gnlovew
Story: Rachel Melton recently moved back to her hometown after unfortunately losing her husband in the war. Rachel and Ron had known each other since they were in elementary school and had been best friends since day one. She was so proud of her husband when he decided to go into the military and never once did she worry about him. Then, the chaplain came knocking on her door and her world changed in an instant. While her teen son Ryan seems to be strong and holding things together, he misses his dad terribly but being an adventurous soul, he is eager to start a new life in the town his parents grew up in. He IS the man of the house now and is fiercely protective of his baby sister, Riley and his mother. Will this family be able to cope with their loss and put their pieces back together?

Well, thank you very much, you guys I was just saying in another thread that I've had some unexpected visitors drop in (which hubby is talking their ears off right now lol) so I have to play hostess for now but I will get that house and pics up either late tonight or at least by tomorrow night
@StephSteb, what a beautiful family and story! They're wonderful! Definitely adding to my game! (Sorry, too many exclamation points, it's been a weird day. )
Thank you @gnlovew I don't think I have ever left a premade house alone, lol. I always rebuild or move things around, add floors or basements. I have to force myself to stop. If only I had money cheats in real life *sigh*
That said, I have a confession. This is my first time running a contest that requires uploads and I'm quickly discovering that I still have things to learn. So please bear with me as I figure things out.
I realized today that I should probably scan entries as I receive them, rather than later when I go to judge them. So I scanned all of the entries uploaded so far, only to have custard show the same type of result on all of them and I don't know what it means.
Here is what the custard window looks like. All of the entries have varying numbers of those "Corrupt (Not a DBPF)" lines. Anyone know what it means?

Story: Meet Casandra and Hunter Butterfield and their children, Aurora and Declan. Casandra and Hunter were high school sweethearts who married straight out of high school. They had many happy years until they fell into a rough patch and Hunter had an affair with another woman in town. Despite their ups and downs, Casandra and Hunter still love each other and are working on their issues together. They have recently relocated to Appaloosa Plains to start fresh and continue raising their children.

I am almost positive there is no CC, but I didn't check it. If they turn out to have some then I can fix them up.
As of right now, the Butterfields are living in a premade home, but I am hoping to get a chance later this week to build them a house and enter the bonus challenge as well
I usually don't have a preference for my Sim children so I just pick a random one to be the heir, but I really love the way Aurora turned out and I can't wait for her to age up and continue the Butterfield legacy!
@KaytayRoall - in your example, it's a .png file that is corrupt. A .png file is just an image file. So, if someone used Zinda's Upload Image Changer program to put their own pictures on the upload; they had to change the screenshot pictures into .png files. CUSTARD is just telling you that the image file isn't standard to a normal EA upload. So, .png equals picture.
That said, I have a confession. This is my first time running a contest that requires uploads and I'm quickly discovering that I still have things to learn. So please bear with me as I figure things out.

A lot of times, the thumbnails (picture) will come up red in Custard but they are ok because they are just pictures. However, if it says corrupt, I would get rid of it. To do that, all you do is uncheck the box with the corrupt file and then click file, then save. The pics did come up red for me in custard but didn't say corrupt. That's so weird. If anything comes up corrupt for me, I always get rid of it. And yes, always, always scan. Sorry about that
Well now I feel doubly silly about this whole thing, because I know what a .png is and just panicked when I saw a message I didn't recognize. Thank you @ciane and @StephSteb both for helping explain this to me.
@blair2396 Thank you for your entry! I will get it posted to the front page momentarily.

As you can see, it's fairly sparse.
So, I added an upstairs which is where mom, Rachel's room is, a bathroom, and the nursery for baby, Riley.
And Ryan's room is downstairs, along with a bathroom, laundry area, living room, dining area, and kitchen.
And finally, the outside.
You can see a full album of pictures if you click right here.
