Ha! Almost. 10:40am here, to be exact. I'm just finishing up the final photos. Stay tuned!
I am in EST zone and knew it was not Noon yet but still checked the time when I read this.
Looks like I have plenty of time to make coffee and play Sims.
Phew! That took me waaaay too long to layout, but, well, it's finally done and, it appears, peeps are already creating up a storm!
Obviously, Challenge Number 1 is now Closed and Challenge Number 2 has Begun! Congrats to everyone who entered 1 and good luck to those taking on this new bit of madness in 2.
I should have medals and banners posted up in the next few hours, followed by constructive critiques over the course of the next few days. I want to do each entry justice, so there shall be no rushy-rushing. We'll have none of that around here! Nonna says so!
Anywho.
If you have any questions, concerns or comments, you know where to find me.
Happy Creating!

PS: For those of you pondering the Go for the Gold! build challenge, I will be posting up a recap of each family units wants and needs, so keep an eye out for that, too.
Each of the parts of the new challenge sounds great! I will look forward to seeing the entries! You are so very creative in how you write the details of the challenge! I enjoyed reading what you wrote
So cool! Looking good there Tony (heh heh heh) Going to be hard to decide what to do here. Hmmmmm (think think think)
For this challenge, the Basic Bronze is all about Tony's Nonna!
Simply put, we would like you to create the crazy, curse-loving matriarch in all her ghoulish glory.
Any particular traits or can we choose? I have a couple in mind.

The choice is totally up to you! Just remember, don't anger the old lady. You wouldn't like her when she's angry.
PS: I've updated the Devilish Details. You now have the option to bulldoze the entire build and start fresh, if that's something you would like to do. I'm still trying to work out if having a shell is a good thing or not. Perhaps the next challenge won't have one, just to mix things up a little.

Your challenges are awesome, personally I like to build from fresh so one with no shell would be wonderful

Hello @EuphorialQueen
I will look forward to seeing your simversion of Tony's Nonna if you decide to create her!
For obvious reasons, Anthony feels that his gaggle of geeks is loooong overdue for a makeover. It is up to you to transform Andrew, Arnaldo, and Alex from geek to chic. Change up their hair, their bodies, their clothes, and even their traits - pretty much everything is up for grabs! - although, be sure to leave some bits and pieces behind, such as their facial features, so that he can still recognize them. Oh, and, Anthony is feeling a tad bit charitable as of late, so feel free to invite yet another geek of your making and give them a makeover, too!
For this part of the challenge, we would really like to see the complete transformation of each of these Sims. In Create-A-Sim, use the genetic tool and make an identical twin of Andrew, Arnaldo, and Alex
Instead of an identical twin I suggest using the random option for everything except the face Creating twins in CAS does not always create an identical twin. Tweaking certain things like body shape then would result in a transformation and preserve their facial identity.

Hmm. I wasn't aware that there was an issue. I tested it earlier and it seemed to work just fine for me; however, many thanks for sharing your solution!
Banners have been added with links on the first page - in no particular order - and medals have been delivered to your profile pages! Look for your constructive critiques over the course of the next few days.
So cool! Thanks!
I totally appreciate how you did the banners for the people who won
medals for the Sims challenge!! How you have your sim hugging the sims!
So cute!!
It's sort of like being on Oprah. "You get a medal! And you get a medal! Everyone gets a medal! Medals for everyboooooody!"
Anywho.
In all seriousness, yes, this is a series of challenges, but, no, it's not a competition. You will basically get rewarded for entering and sometimes, just sometimes, you'll be awarded a Maxis Recommendation; however, in the end, it's all about celebrating our community of creators! That's why there are no levels or categories. Everyone is on an even playing field and everyone gets something for participating. There are plenty of awesome competitions out there. I just wanted to do something a little bit different.
@Rostri-Jodu Competitions have their place but I *much* prefer a good challenge. Challenges provide inspiration and keep the game more interesting. Thank you for creating these challenges.

Creation Nation Challenge Number: Two
Bronze, Silver or Gold Level: Basic Bronze
Creation Name in The Gallery: Nonna DiNapoli

Additional Notes: Angelina grew up in the Olde Country of Monte Vista the daughter of Nicoletta Lombardi. Her mother had an affair with local entrepreneur (thief) Giacomo Modena. Mr Modena mysteriously disappeared after some ... unfortunate dealings with the Costa family leaving Nicoletta to raise her baby girl on her own. The widow Silvia Monty took them in and upon her passing Nicoletta and Angelina inherited the home where Angelina grew up and met the DiNapoli family.
Anthony DiNapoli has great respect for his Nonna. Her given name is Angelina but she is rarely 'Angelic'. Best bet is to stay on her good side or better just stay far far away.

Your simversion of Nonna looks very great! @EuphorialQueen The traits and aspiration suit her very well! Her hairstyle and the grey colour of the hair looks very nice. She doesn't look very happy in the spoiler!
@Rostri-Jodu,
Sorry for asking but just to make sure:
Could I give the whole duplex a make-over? So new wallpaint and windows etc?
Yep! Feel free to restyle all surfaces, lights, windows, railings, and doors, inside and out. Also, if you are going for the Gold, you may move interior walls and exterior fences to make rooms and yards bigger.
