@aricarai So, the judging ended like, over a week ago. Got any good stories yet? Houses bursting into flames? Sims dying tragically in freak horseshoe court accidents? Zombie apocalypses?

You are too funny @creativemetaphor !! I bet there may have been some horseshoe incidents, since a lot of us used the horseshoe court, haha!

Haha! Nothing to report as of yet, but I'll get back to it at the weekend and hopefully finish up then
@Odonata68 - I'm having trouble installing your Sim in my game. I looked up what the problem might be and I think it's because you used special characters in your title (apostrophe, comma). I'm going to try and turn it into a package file and see what happens, but do you think you could reupload with a different name? Thanks m'dear!
@aricarai Absolutely! I'm sorry you're having an issue with him, I had problems uploading him too. I'll work on that today.
Quick question, should I remove him from My Studio before I try to re-upload him?

Only if you want to - I would recommend it since I'm assuming the reason was for the special characters so I'm probably not the only one who couldn't download it.
@aricarai Ok, will do. The only reason for the long title (I didn't realize not to use special characters) was that he wouldn't upload with just his name only.
Oooh wee ya'll! The building portion of this contest was FIERCE! I fill up Hidden Springs and had all the entered Sims moved from cabin to cabin! And nope, @creativemetaphor, no mishaps, everything was ship-shape
I just want to say THANK YOU so much for everyone's patience with me during this contest! I hope ya'll had fun because I had so much fun taking a look at everyone's entries!
I shall stop rambling now! So I have announced the winners of the build portion of the contest (find them HERE). I'm waiting for the reupload of @Odonata68's Sim entry (take your time m'dear) and then once I have a chance to get him in game, I'll shall score and post those results, too!
Winners, please let me know what you would like and as always, prizes can be shared!
Ooh, congrats to the winners!! @aricarai well the launcher is not letting me log in. The launcher has the "website cannot display the page" warning, so I don't know if the site is down or what.

Take your time m'dear! Try clearing your browsing history in Internet Explorer - that usually fixes things @Odonata68
@aricarai
Ok, that took some fiddling with but my sim finally uploaded! The launcher was acting up. Anyway here is his new link: Kristopher Echols and I updated my entry form, too.
Woohoo, congrats to all the winners! It must have been hard to judge as there were so many great and unique cabins! Thanks for having this contest Arica, I had fun.
Congratulations to the winners and their awesome cabins!! .... can't wait to find out which sim will stand on the winner's podium ... and thank you again @aricarai for giving us the opportunity to take part in such a fun contest x
Oh my goodness, Thank you so much @aricarai! Congrats to all the winners, I'm really not sure how you judged all those beautiful houses sweetie! They were all so amazing! Many Thanks again!
Oh, thank you so much. Congrats @soocoolsim and @BreeMiles ! This contest was a lot of fun, and I know a lot of work for you, @aricarai. Thanks so much for hosting. I sure don't envy you the job of judging - I loved every last cabin! Looking forward to seeing the sim winners.
Wow this is such an honour since there were so many wonderful entries. Thanks very much @aricarai for generously hosting this contest. Congrats to the other winners and thanks everyone for your kind comments above.
Since I already "own the store", I will like to share my prize with the other build entrants who didn't place and currently have wishlists:
FYI: When I wrote the little background on the Sim - these are the traits that I had in mind and I tried best to portray those in the hints:
- Bookworm
- Family-Oriented
- Eco-Friendly
- Loner/Shy
- Loves the Outdoors
- Natural Cook
- Slob
Congratulations to EVERYONE! You all definitely made it super hard for me and I really hope that you enjoyed it!
Oh my goodness @aricarai Thank you so much! So many amazing entries, I have no idea how I squeaked out ahead but thank you! This was such a fun challenge!

Edit: Here's where I found the info!
Edit again: I've tried to turn it into a package file and it's not come out in a .sim file - so if you could reupload for me, that would be fab!
Quick question, should I remove him from My Studio before I try to re-upload him?
Only if you want to - I would recommend it since I'm assuming the reason was for the special characters so I'm probably not the only one who couldn't download it.
