After partying a little to much last night for my mums 70th birthday I am now settled in for a day of judging though I am thinking it will take more than a day with all these amazing entries.
I have a hot chocolate and snuggled up under a blanket (its about 4 degrees atm I think) on top of my bed with my laptop ready to get my judging on... Im excited to get a closer look at these amazing houses
@chips46 I didnt get mine finished either hehe im super slow building but love the house design Ive done and of course Ive gone with modern style. Will post it up when I get it done
Happy birthday to your mom (mum --- I'm so used to saying mom) @cbear ! I'm glad you had a fun time celebrating her 7Oth birthday ! It will be great to see the results of this challenge ! You sound comfy with your hot chocolate and blanket! I forgot that it's winter for you guys ! We just had a heatwave in the Eastern US (30C/90F degrees for 3 days)!

Happy 70th birthday to your Mum! @Cbear13
I hope that the judging of the entries goes well. I hope that you can keep warm and the temperature rises very soon!
Happy Birthday wishes to your mum @Cbear13 glad you had a great night celebrating your mum 7Oth birthday enjoy your hot chocolate while judging sounds like fun how long does each entry take to do there's so many to check out , 4 degrees thats very cold up in brissie our temperature only gets low as 11 which not that cold just comfortable with one blanket and a few fur balls snugged in with me in my bed they keep you warm as well and can't wait to see your house when you get it done
@coolsim9999999 sometimes I use mom or mum to me it sounds the same heatwave I know what that feels like I hope you get some relief soon take care.
@chips46 is was a fantastic night thanks, yeah we can get below 0 at times at night the frost in the mornings are shocking haha but the days arent to bad for the start of winter. Its sunny at the moment and suppose to get to 15 today.
The judging is all different depending on the challenge, the houses are quite large in this one so going through every room looking for errors can be time consuming. The feedback and critique can take a while to write aswell but we work really well together the judges I mean confirming errors and with our notes to make it a lot easier.
Sometimes we get a bit carried away when judging and well end up playing with the builds to much haha instead of judging (cant help it you guys do such an amazing job building them).
Ive judged 3 so far so 14 to go haha about to start my 4th.
I doubt I will get results up today as will have to write up the feedback and also the sim challenge judging but should be up in the next few days, I have the whole day pretty much free today so will see how I go and I think lisa might have a few more to judge yet to though shes ahead of me in her judging so far hehe
Thank you @rosemow for the birthday wishes and the house is nice and toasty now since we installed a new wood fire heater a few weeks ago, just had to get it going this morning haha
@coolsim9999999 thank you and I think I cope with the cold better than the heat as I find its easier to get warm than it is to cool down in summer. We seem to go from one extreme to the other down here our summers can be super hot and our winters very cold
@Cbear13 --- I don't like extreme heat, either. I'd rather have cool weather. Our winters are pretty cold, but some parts of the US have even more snow with colder temperatures than we.
@flowerofavalon87 sorry hun I only just saw your question on your entry form now, had a hectic week organising my mums birthday party. Yes unfortunately being out of the budget range does make the entry not eligible
That's ok @Cbear13 there's more to life than sims (crazy, I know!) glad the night went well and you had fun Oh well, guess it's an unofficial entry then. It was still fun to make and I do feel like I'm learning more and slowly getting better at building from entering these challenges. But I'll have to watch the budget more closely next time! Can't wait to see your house
Yes @chips46 I can't believe how many entries there were for the house part of this challenge! 17! that's amazing! I don't envy the task of judging them!
Wow that's cold @Cbear13! Are you SA by any chance? I've notice they get such extreme temps there, like you said, freezing in winter and sweltering in summer. I'm in WA and we've had such a mild winter so far, and hardly any rain (which I badly want so I can stay inside and sim! ), it was 19 today which isn't that cold... I can't wait for winter to properly start here!
I live in Vic we havent had a ton of rain yet but have some. Victoria is known to have 4 seasons in one day so you always have to prepare for anything here lol
It's been cold here in the ACT. Our heaters went on after ANZAC Day (it's a known rule here that heaters don't go on until then). We went to the snow yesterday and it was a balmy 4 degrees celsius!
@Cbear13@popettypop2012@flowerofavalon87 - That's so crazy to think that it gets so cold in Australia. I'm in NYC and it's Spring weather here. I really like The Sims Forum, we're from all over the world with at least one thing in common...We Love playing the Sims
The high temperature here was 89 degrees Farenheit yesterday. I had the fans on most of the day and night. It almost NEVER goes below the the high 70s here during the day. Of course we have the whole Pacific Ocean around us to keep our temperatures moderate. (I live in Hawaii).
Am I the only one having trouble with this community garden?... Having a BRAIN FART
Hello @CaramelLibra29
I am sorry that you are having problems getting ideas for the build Try googling community garden allotments and see if that may help. Try thinking of the garden patches and how they would fit in the overall lot. Perhaps start by designing the clubhouse first.
I hope that you will soon get some ideas

Me too, @CaramelLibra29! Haven't got the foggiest on what style or feel the community garden should have.
