I'm working on my Stadium and I'm not sure how the sims with play with this. They can't really watch/play a game. They can eat, shop and such, but is that what is considered playable?
Hello @kimartist
Playable means that there are no gameplay issues with the lot, such as sims being unable to go from one place to another or if they can't access/use items that they normally should be able to.
Thank you so much @rosemow, sorry for all the questions... just a newbie being stupid. I'm so glad for the help. This stadium build is a challenge, but so much fun. Just wanted to be doing it right before I got too far.
Thanks for the room challenge info....guess I'll try that one next month. I'm so glad I found these challenges. My house is probably not...I keep putting off the cleaning LOL

You don't need to be sorry for asking questions! @kimartist It is good to ask questions when queries or issues arise.
I willl look forward to seeing your stadium build!
Oh I cant wait to see stadiums I love this challenge
@PersRealmsShadow no judging so no big deal if its missing goals Im sure it can still look like a stadium without them.
@WiggleyTuff it can be any type of sports stadium you can think off and knowing all you guys we are going to see some great creativity with ideas
@kimartist as rosemow said we consider playability as being able to use all objects and that placement of them being to close to others or sticking in others doesnt prevent them from being playable.
If you mean in terms of much for the sims to do on the lot if its just an open blank field like a football field then correct there is not much sims can do on it but you can make other activities around the lot to make it usable by sims
Congrats on the Maxis favs @masajo and @Ainsleyf! Well deserved!
@kimartist I think playable just means sims will be able to use the lot in some way that its not just for looks? Maybe @Cbear13 should clear this up? lol and yes the Quality Control Comps are this just for fun monthly one a smaller two weekly build and a 2 weekly room one. You can also enter them unofficially if you don't want your builds/room to be judged and you just want to join in!
And, thank you @rosemow for helping and for your kind comment about my idea for the stadium
I think imma go for a simple build(imagine that lol, the world is going under) and skip the apartment complex so i purely focus on the stadium. Anyways its time for me to head to bed, i see you guys tomorrow or later this week(:
@Cbear13 and @rosemow thank you. You guys are all so nice and helping me understand all these fun things. I just started playing this in January and this just adds even more fun to the game. I'll definitely investigate the other challenges.
Thank you @coolsim9999999 and @kimartist and @lisa17ann and @rosemow for your condolences..LOL Here's where I left off, so I'll probably finish eventually...just put too much time into it already to just abandon the project:
And thank you all and @lsnishi and @masajo for the congrats and congrats back atcha @masajo..nice!!
All the big houses are so COOL! Absolutely beautiful stuff! @Rivendellstar - I am in love with your guard houses! SO cool and @lisa17ann, being in England, I guess you have a true inside scoop on royal owned giant duckies?? So adorable! I love England. I want to try to get over in the Spring. An old friend from CT is now the landlady of a pub in Essex. What better incentive to go over for a visit??
@Ainsleyf, your build looks absolutely beautiful. Please don't abandon, please finish so we can see the whole creative endeavor. The exterior design is so intriguing I just want to browse around :)
@Ainsleyf --- I really like your estate for your royal couple ! It's really great, and so is the garden ! It will be great to see the finished product when you're done !
Your build is looking so very nice! @Ainsleyf Very nice exterior design of the building! The roofing and balconies look very great! The flowers , plants, cherry blossom tree and water fountains look very pretty! Very nice pool patio outdoors sitting nook for sims to enjoy sitting at the table , enjoying the pretty floral setting!
I hope that you will enjoy fininshing the build in the future
@Ainsleyf your build looks stunning and I want to live in it in real life! the landscaping looks so beautiful as well like a English country cottage garden! I sure hope you finish it! As it would be a shame not to share it with the community! And, you are so right if I had a £ (pound) lol for every time I seen a giant rubber ducky at a castle, manor house, or country estate well I'd have the same amount of £'s I have now lol I just kept thinking of those crazy pool floats of giant swans and flamingos etc and it was the best I could do. Thank you for your kind comments on my build/ducky It is very pretty out in the country side here. I love old buildings and we have so many here in Liverpool as well. It is beautiful here in the spring daffodils and blue bells are blooming every where and any where. Bring rain gear though as there is no guarantee even in the summer you'll get good weather. And, it creates a packing challenge for sure. We are taking a long weekend road trip to Scotland and its summer and it could be hot and humid one min and pouring rain and cold the next I have no idea what to pack haha! I think in general Scotland is always colder and rainy compared to most parts of England and Wales. I hope you get to go and have a fab time!
Thank you for the congrats @rosemow i dont think I've ever gotten a maxis fav for sims before
Congratulations on Oasis Paraise getting a maxis fav @lisalittlesimmer well deserved!
CONGRATS @lisa17ann and @lisalittlesimmer!!! Yay! - @lisa17ann - I've been to England many times; dated a guy in Yorkshire (Seriously long distance relation ship) for years and I lived in Ireland for a year. Love it over there and I don't mind the rain. Have a wonderful weekend in Scotland! I've only been once years ago for Hogmanay but it was awesome and I'm dying to get back but it's so expensive! (although that might have been because it was New Year's week in Edinburg and Roslyn) And Thanks everyone for the kind words!!!!

Also QC competitions have 3 parts:
QC Create A Room (2 weekly room challenges)
Quality Control Contest (2 weekly build challenges)
and this one
The difference with the other 2 is that they are judged, scored and winners chosen. This challenge use to be judged but we recently changed it to just a fun challenge
