Hi everyone
I just fixed up the end times for the current challenge as I noticed they were wrong with the changes in day lights savings. Please check the new times for your time zones so that you get your entries in before it ends
@Cbear13 I have a question about the challenge, I know it say that everything must be playable by the sim, but you also say that we may not lose too much points if it is not usable for artistic reason. I'm trying to make a throne room, who also a sort of treasure room. So does making a pile of gold bars stuck again each other, count as not usable for artistic reason? Like in the picture below.(the gold bar are behind the chairs) Currently their are not view able by sim.
So I was wondering if it ok or it better I change idea.By the way I hope you get better soon:)

The Midas Touch looks very golden royal! @Ainsleigh Very nice golden furnishing and layout of the room! The floor patterning looks so very nice and very effective ! The golden and black wall patterning looks elegant. Very nice throne area! The candles are nice touches either sides of the throne and the golden cat is a great touch at the foot of the throne. The black curtains look very nice placed on the golden wall. Very nice golden sofas sitting area for the King to enjoy resting there, reading a book, eating a golden fruit from the fruit bowl and drinking tea from the golden teaset. He will enjoy playing the organ in his room. The curtained corner nook with the statue of his daughter looks great! The gold bullions are a great touch on the side wall table. He will enjoy eating and drinking food and drinks from the buffet table, fountain and globe bar. The floor rugs add a nice look to the room, and the type of curtains used look very nice. The bonsai plants are nice touches either sides of the entrance, and the curtains look nice over the door.
The Royal golden furnishing of the room looks very nice!
@LadyAlexiel its not a black and white line when it comes to judging but to try help you understand how I judge I dont really consider items that are just viewable by sims as a usable object as all they can do is look at it.
I am happy for some viewable items to not be accessible it when they are items that have other functions then I critique.
For example mirrors, while I dont mind if some are not accessible as long as at least 1 mirror in the room can be used. Other items I have seen people place in spots for decoration that I critique because they lose their function are things like stereos, I like to see them usable with all their functions.
When combining objects to create something new I encourage this and if its a usable item that is no longer usable I suggest try combine them as cleanly as possible and adding a note about it with your entry form so I know your intention.
The gold bars aren't really a usable object only a viewable one so I am fine with how you have used them. I suggest try stack them together cleanly so they dont look to be unrealistically sticking into eachother
I have a question. I checked to see if things were sticking through the ceiling by pushing the page up button, so that I could see the roof of the room for Janice, and I didn't see anything sticking through it.
Instead, would using the overhead bird's eye view room tool in build mode me to discover if that is occurring --- or is there a better way that you use and could recommend to me so that I can check for that type of thing better in future challenges?
@coolsim9999999 in sim play mode you can zoom into a room and angle your camera up to see the ceiling appear, I use the sim 3 camera controls Im not sure if it works the same for the sims 4 camera controls
Here is some pics of what I see when checking items sticking into ceiling from your room
First two you can see the ceiling and if you move your camera around you can see ceiling appear and disappear
last pic shows the wreaths sticking into ceiling
Thank you very much for your help and help with screenshots @Cbear13 ! I will try using the TS3 camera, as well as you other tips !
I just tried to use the TS3 camera ! However, I just found the rotate buttons, to the left of the TS4 camera, so, I'll try that.
Here's the screenshot I took of the wreaths --- I must be using the controls wrong because the wreaths don't stick though the ceiling. What might I be doing wrong with the TS3 camera? TS3 camera tips needed please .
And here's the TS3 camera with the top-down view, and I still can't tell that the wreaths are sticking though the ceiling...
After that, I even tried to put the walls half up and half down to see if I could figure out how to make the ceiling appear and disappear.
I'm really confused. I hope I can understand how to check to see if stuff is ever sticking through the ceiling...
@coolsim9999999 - you need a sim on the lot and then hit the tab key and get underneath to look up. That's really the only way to see if things are sticking in the ceiling. The walls are actually a little taller than the room is. It's confusing and I don't always remember to do it, but it's really the only way I have found to be sure.
@coolsim9999999 as I said in the previous post you need to test it in play mode and then angle the camera to look up at the ceiling so the ceiling appears
You are in build mode and your angling the camera down so you cant see the ceiling
@Cbear13@Ainsleyf@rosemow@chips46(and anyone else who can help) --- How do you tilt the screen to look up? I know in TS3, there was a tilt button, but I can't any button like that in TS4. Also, in play mode, how do you move around to see the ceiling of the room and angle the camera/tilt the camera up to see the ceiling? @Cbear13 --- I didn't realize you said to use play mode...oops !
@coolsim9999999 Im pretty sure with the ts3 camera I just hold down the left mouse button and drag the mouse downwards I will check later when Im in game
