Hello @HEW310 Welcome to the thread! You can still do the challenge if you don't have the toddlers stuff pack. I will look forward to seeing your Park!
The Newberry family are very nice! The twins are so cute! It is a very special photo of them talking together Elizabeth looks great in her clown outfits, and Bradley dressing as a space cowboy is fun for the kids to see!
@Laebeth we keep track of the judging pretty well I have spreadsheet for scoring and we keep each challenge in its own group mail with judges for notes and feedback. So far havent lost track of any lol *touches wood*
@lisalittlesimmer things can be a little exaggerated for the challenges especially for the sims challenge with hairstyles and makeup I mainly want to see at least 3 different changes through the outfits per sim. Its all about seeing effort put into the creations and it doesn't have to be bright and in your face colors with the makeup. Its actually pretty tough to judge the sims thats why I add so much criteria on how I judge them because if I didnt I could never decide on a winner lol
Thank you @Pebblycat and @Cbear13 for the feedback and the unusual letter house challenge which was fun and enjoyable to build and can I use @popettypop2012 famous words those pesky plants again dont know how that one got missed I always been careful how I place plants
I see we digging up the graveyard of our past builds I dont know about that one to show some of my builds here some I see are still very good but mine are really bad to show I'm not going there but if you want to have a look there still in the gallery when I first started to build just warning you they are bad if you want to see them
Goodness! Thank you to everyone for the encouragement. I've been sticking with the toddler park build and I'm glad I have! I just need to put in the "clutter", fix A LOT of QC problems, and play test it. I hope it follows all the rules (I have a lot of objects touching/overlapping, but it was intentional, so I hope it doesn't look all shimmery and is playable when I play test it). After doing house builds for a while, this will be my first park and I'm pretty excited to be finally finishing one
Thank you to the judges for all the feedback on the letter challenge. The way you write the feedback from the Sim's point-of-view cracks me up!
Also, congrats to @emere and @leashahampton on winning, to all the judge's award winners, and to @popettypop2012 and @Ainsleyf on your wins and maxis faves!!
I think the idea to do a Sims Lit Page is awesome, @CaramelLibra29 . I've seen them before, but I didn't know that's what they was called. I've know I've enjoyed reading them. They are so entertaining-- Sims do the funniest things sometimes
A BIG Congrats to ALL of the winners of the QC 51 Challenge!!! Your builds are so beautiful...like art. @popettypop2012 -Congrats on your Maxis Fave
@Ainsleyf - Congrats on the sims win and Maxis Fave, your version of Abigail looks super realistic and I love her Formal and Party outfits
@Cbear13 and @Pebblycat - I'm soo glad you liked Abigail Skywalker. I knew I was taking a risk with those pigtails but I just loved them on her Thank you for the critiques, I really enjoy making sims for your challenges.
Finally I was able to play the toddler stuff, I was not sure about the huge playset but it is fun and that fence is soooo nice:
I'm working in my challenge WIP but now I'm playing more so I will not be building too much. I want to be ready for pets Meanwhile I'm having a great time:
Grimmy at the Karaoke
My main and really evil vampire meeting a new fairy
And poor Vlad forgetting the sunblock (now I'm playing him as a ghost, he is really spooky)
It is great that you are enjoying playing the game @emere The pictures that you have posted are very nice! The make believe action on the jungle gym is fun! It looks like the grim reaper is enjoy karaokeing in your game! The evil vampire and the pretty fairy look and sound like they are opposites! Happy simming!
@Cbear13 I know you told me to enter experienced level now, but I really really don't feel comfortable doing it this level. Is that a problem?
And I'm really looking forward to the critique and tips for this challenge, because I'm really bad at parks, they always feel so random and messy.. I need some practice
@lisalittlesimmer you can enter inter but if we feel its an experienced level entry we will bump it up a level so that its fair on the other inter entries
@Cbear13 hello! I noticed my name wasn't added to the entries list for sims for the current quality control contest. I just wanted to make sure I was entered- thank you!
Hi @HEW310 I update when I get some spare time which isnt much lately lol so the entries banners arent always up to date. I do make sure they are fully up to day at the end of the challenge so if you ever see an entry missing at end of challenge then Ive missed it somehow I think that's only happened once in all this time of doing the comps haha
@sierrablue333 welcome to the qc comps sorry for the delayed welcome hectic weekend, fantastic first entry. How long have you been playing the game as I saw you comment it was new? I remember when the original sims came out and I started playing I was soooo obsessed with it lol...... not that much has changed since then lol Im still obsessed
Thanks for the quick response cbear, I'm pretty sure there will be no need to put me in experienced for this one
I used the wrong hashtag, 53 instead of 52, I hope that's not a big problem, I don't want to upload it again (they should let us change the description.. ) Thanks again @chips46 for telling me!
Toddlers and Animals is a very fun and enjoyable park for sims families to visit! @lisalittlesimmer The design and layout of it looks great! The animal themed furnishing of the Park looks very nice! The enlarged animal stumps on the roofing looks great! Very nice outdoors dining area! It is good that the BBQ is fenced off for safety reasons. Sims will enjoy cooking meals on the BBQ and eating the food in the sunshine at the pretty floral patterned umbrella covered tables. It is great that there is a sand pit in the build. The spinning flower is a colourful touch on the corner of it. Kids will have fun playing on the spaceship. The big teddy and bunny look cute nearby watching on! The toddlers will have fun playing make believe on the jungle gym, and playing in the tunnels, balls pit and sliding down the slide! Kids will have fun playing with the toys from the patterned toy chests, playing with the new dollhouse under the shade of the tree and enjoying being on the monkey bars . Very nice indoors party area! The patterned picnic tables there look very colourfully nice! It is great that BBQ there to cook food for the party. The balloons look celebratory! Kids will enjoy playing the llama tabletop game. The giraffe and deer are cute there! The confetti print is a nice touch on the walls.
It is a great Toddlers park !

@lisalittlesimmer I know what you mean entering experienced level and not feeling comfortable it happen to me as well but look at it in another way dont see its a challenge but challenge yourself you have the freedom of experimenting with creativity growing taking risks, making mistakes, breaking rules, If you have to I know I have but have fun with it I'm not a strong builder thats why I dont enter as much only simple challenges that I feel comfortable with and being in the advanced level it gave me the freedom and not holding back like I use to but I'm glad I got put in the advanced level even though I'm still weak in some areas that I still need to work on and enjoy it have fun thats whats its all about sorry I talk too much I dont know when to stop
Hi @Cbear13. I just got the game. I've played other games (mostly real-time strategy games, but that was a long time ago). I only have the Christmas Pack right now. Just getting started with the game so hopefully I can build some more interesting stuff. Thanks for the warm welcome! Glad to see there's such a great community for this game.
Hello @chips46 You don't talk too much at all! It is always very nice reading what you post. You are always very kind, helpful and supportive in what you post to other simmers. It is also nice reading about how you approach building and your thoughts about building and the challenges
