    FireFly’s Birthday Park is a lovely park setting to celebrate a birthday! @icanhassims :) Very lovely orange and yellow colour scheme! The waterfall is very nice! Very nice canopy dining area for sims to enjoy eating an outdoors meal that has been cooked on the yellow bbq. The candles and flowers are pretty on the dining table. Very picnic table with flowers, candles, party supplies, and a birthday gift to be opened. The sculpture and large orange crystal look great! Very pretty flowers throughout the park areas! The balloons are a celebratory touch!
    It is a very special Birthday park! :)

    February Challenge Reviews and Feedback:

    The Jungle Taj @icanhassims
    Review:
    The outside and inside is incredible, @icanhassims :)! I love the landscaping, jungle setting and attention to detail, inside and outside!! Great little balconies, as well, and your use of color against mostly white neutrals is awesome :):)! Thank you for entering my challenge :)!
    Feedback:
    The outside of your beautiful fountain needs paint or stone, etc. to cover the outer wall of it, some areas, such as the gift shop check out desk need a little more decoration. The gift shop check out desk only has a frog on one side of it and no TP in the first floor bathrooms.

    *Sapphire Shores Resort* @luckyheather
    Review:
    I loved each of the little "huts" on this wonderful tropical property, luckyheather :)! The roofing, layout, design, landscaping and porches, as well as the deck and great hot tub are creative touches :)! The giftshop, outdoor activities and hotel rooms are wonderful :)! Thank you for entering my challenge :)!

    1001 Lovers @RavenSpit
    Review:
    Great exterior design, RavenSpit :)! I love that curtain, the roof is great, the symetrical pools with the hot tub in between looks great :)! The inside is very romantic and the red and white color scheme looks very pretty, as well as the landscaping and fencing :)! Thank you for entering my challenge :)!
    Feedback:
    The outside of your beautiful pool needs paint or stone, etc. to cover the outer wall of it, more outdoor lighting would make your builds show up better at night, and the archway next to the fancy grand piano on the first floor only has a painting on one side of it.

    Valentines Fun Fair @leashahampton
    Review:
    I loved all the awesome activities that you included in this build, LeashaLoves :)! Your creativity soared, especially when you created things out of other things to make something new :)! I loved every detail of this build and the colors are wonderful, as well as the lights that stage area and the rides are so great and this is very romantic, as well and the setting can't be beat :)! You thought of everything for a "fun fair!" Thank you for entering my challenge :)!
    Feedback:
    Awesome B)!

    Villa La Isla @Lehua
    Review:
    very creative and relaxing romantic tropical build @Lehua :)! I love the little separate buildings, as well as the deck, giftshop and landscaping Thank you for entering my challenge :)!
    Feedback:
    Part of the sand and water outside, and some of the inside and on the porch was bare, so more landscaping/activities or additional decorations outside or activities or additional decorations inside would fill up that part, (I know a 50X50 lot is pretty big) --- You had better clutter inside :)!

    Luv Shaq @Peacefulzone and @JettaTheDark
    Review:
    I loved every part of your build, that was a collab with JettatheDark :)! I espeically love the horse and buggy with those cute lights, the surfing gnome, the treehouse part, the basement gift shop with the fish looking in, the moat, landscaping, inside, attention to detail throughout, cute nooks, suite, lattice over one of the patios, and so much more :)! Thank you for entering my challenge, Peacefulzone :)!
    Feedback:
    Terrain paint under some plants (some had terrain paint), part of the grass, inside and on the porch was bare, so more landscaping/activities or additional decorations outside or activities or additional decorations inside would fill up that part, (I know a 64X64 lot is huge), and a little more practice with alt --- some counters and items were alted, but others were not. (see your feedback from last month on this thread about alt).

    Note: This was a collab --- I think you'll get a Maxis fave better if it's not a collab, just to let you know, and I'm not sure.
    However, if you decide to do another collab, please put the # sign in front of your gallery name to give credit both of you, as well as if you use anyone's artwork (I think you accredited artwork with a hashtag followed by the person's gallery ID.)

    I loved this, by the way B)<3!
    General Feedback Note:
    Earlier in this thread, I've explained to a few people how to use the Alt key to make things fit into builds better, decorating even more and painting all walls (including the outside of a basement.)

    P.S. I noticed that a few of you used real places/song titles, etc. in your builds for copyright reasons. They were beautiful, as all of your entries were, but that's one thing that Maxis doesn't fave, but you may keep them in the gallery because Maxis doesn't mind. However, I nominated everyone who entered for a Maxis fave --- and of course, I'll still tour every entry B)<3!

    It is a very beautiful island home! @KaeCee27 :) Very lovely exterior design, great roofing, nice calming blue and white colors and great tropical trees and flowers! The two flights of steps at entrance looks great! Very lovely layout and furnishing of the interior! The yellow, orange and blue colours are warm and lovely. Very nice floor rugs. The entry area with the colourful birthday gifts and balloons looks great! Very lovely living room! Sims will enjoy sitting relaxing on the sofa and armchairs chatting and listening to stereo music. The curtains and candles walls are pretty! Very beautiful lavender colour of the guest bedroom! The wall pattern is pretty! The candles and beauty items are lovely on the table, ready for Sims to use or to look at.Very nice deck areas! Sims will enjoy relaxing in the hot tub and have fun dancing to the Dj booth music on the glass tile floor.
    It is a very special tropical birthday home for the challenge! :)

    Party Boat is a lovely nightclub boat to celebrate @coolsim9999999’s birthday! :) Very nice exterior design and the interior layout and furnishings are lovely! Very nice pier areas! Sims will enjoy sitting on the stools having a drink from the bar. The string lights on the sides of the pier leading to the entrance area are pretty! Very nice glass tiles area for sims to have fun dancing to music. They will enjoy relaxing on the loungers in the front area of the ship in the sunlight. Very nice deck area where Sims can relax in the hot tub. Very nice design and furnishing of the area where the ship’s captain steers the ship. The ship’s wheel looks great there! The area with the birthday presents and colourfully birthday presents is lovely and celebratory!
    It is a very nice party boat build :)

    Creative notes about your build: There is living room and bedroom above Cafe and a kitchen across the way behind the Party room. It could be a bakery but would need a till, there is a cupcake machine if needed for cakes as well as kitchen stove. I also included a couple of fireworks.
    Back Story: As you like speaking French and travelling I used this as my theme and was inspired by the Sims 3 Holiday builds.
