Here's a link to part 2:
http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/354648.page
Grigori Caravaggio has big dreams of being Sunset Valley's hottest architect.
But Sunset Valley mayor Joe Bunker is not amused.
The new Caravaggio Gym is only two weeks away from opening, and it still doesn't even have one exercise machine (and homeless guitar players have apparently started to move in).
Grigori doesn't have the heart to tell Joe the truth: his interior designer has mysteriously disappeared.
But he assures Joe that he's an artist.
Walking through the huge facility alone, it's obvious he needs help.
The sun is setting on his career. He needs a new designer, and fast!
Part 2 Begins March 19th!Welcome builders! I'm excited to be presenting my first Interior Design Challenge! The Contest is now closed....
And the winner is....
luckyheather!
I chose this entry as the winner because it had a definite style to it, and was very consistently beautiful throughout. The patterns were well-chosen and tastefully used, and offered just enough variations. The colours really helped to enhance the space and make it seem big and bright. Nice work luckyheather! Your prizes will be sent soon.
Some of my other favourite entries:
marcel21 - It was easy to see a huge amount of work went into this entry. Lots of great details, and some of my favourite colours used throughout.
chuvadeprata - A great entry that had just the right amount of consistency, yet variation. The rooms offered tremendous detail and also felt very cozy and "lived-in."
Wolf10kFire - Great colour and pattern choices made this entry feel cozy, comfortable and warm.
I probably could have chosen any one of these as the winner, but in the end I could only choose one... and it was very hard to decide!
Thank you to everyone who entered! You've all helped to make this challenge a great success.
Please stay tuned to this thread for details of the next challenge! It will be starting on March 19th and running until April 2nd.

Your goal: decorate and furnish this house with as much creativity, innovation and good taste as you can muster.
The house may look ordinary on the outside, but this challenge is just a warm-up. If this challenge is a success, future challenges will be more difficult, and the stakes will be higher!
The rules:
- You are
not allowed to
move, delete, or add any walls, doors, windows, railings, stairs, fencing, fireplaces, or arches. You may add columns.
- You ARE allowed to use Create-A-Style on
any part of the house.
- You may change the landscaping and the exterior of the house if desired, but it has no real effect on the judging.
- You may use the "moveobjects on" cheat. No other cheats are allowed.
- You may use any EP, SP, Store Content or CC you desire. Extreme use of CC may count against you, however, so stick to the "official" content as much as possible.*
- Your house should contain everything Sims would need to actually live in it (e.g. bathroom fixtures, fridge and bed(s)).
- You may use items your Sims have collected/painted/etc (e.g. paintings, sculptures, gems).
- Deadline is March 14, 2011.*"Extreme use" means, anything that would be totally impossible if you used official content.The prizes:
Prizes will be based on the number of entries, as follows:
Less than 5 entries: no prizes
5 or more entries: 1 item on your wish list up to a maximum value of 100 SimPoints.
10 or more entries: 2 items on your wish list up to a maximum value of 100 SimPoints EACH.
15 or more entries: 3 items on your wish list, up to a maximum value of 100 SimPoints EACH.
To be considered an entrant, you must submit at least one photo.
More entries = better prizes! So tell your friends and get them to enter too!
How to enter:
Post a message to this thread declaring your intent to enter. Then download the house from my studio and get busy! When you're happy with the results, upload the photos to this thread. You may post as many photos as you like. Judging is based strictly on the photos, so you do not need to upload your creation...but you do need to take good photos!
Judging:
The only judge will be me. My decision is final. Judging will take place on March 15, 2011, at 10 PM (central time).
Good luck!
Comments
(BTW, is there a certain style you want everything to be... like, I know it's not a modern home, but can you make it modern? :-) )
You can make it any style you want. Of course, if everything works well together and has an overall theme, that will probably count in your favour.

Yes, it's using base game only. I wanted to make sure as many people could enter as possible.
"We've been attributing the state of The Sims 4 to greed but I think it's time to give sheer incompetence another look."

I see I made one mistake already: one of the rooms has no doors! :oops:
If you have the house already, please add an arch as shown in this photo:
If you didn't download it yet, the house in my studio has been updated.

You are allowed to use Create A Style anywhere; so that means you could change the colour/pattern/etc of the siding, but you cannot change it to a different type.
"We've been attributing the state of The Sims 4 to greed but I think it's time to give sheer incompetence another look."
-Honeywell
Yes, exactly. It was intended to be somewhat challenging. I tried to make rooms that had possibilities, but no obvious purpose.
I hope you do enter; I've seen some of your work and it's very good.
And if this challenge goes well, I already have plans for the next one! And it's going to be a lot different...
"We've been attributing the state of The Sims 4 to greed but I think it's time to give sheer incompetence another look."
-Honeywell
Also are we allowed to move/delete windows? You specified abotu doors/arches etc but not windows
"Extreme use of CC" means, things that would be totally impossible to do if you used official content. So, custom patterns ARE allowed.
Sorry, I forgot to mention windows! You are NOT allowed to move/delete windows. I will update the first post.
"We've been attributing the state of The Sims 4 to greed but I think it's time to give sheer incompetence another look."
-Honeywell
You could add columns, but not any of the other features.
I will update the rules again. Pardon the oversights, this is my first attempt at running a contest.
"We've been attributing the state of The Sims 4 to greed but I think it's time to give sheer incompetence another look."
-Honeywell
You can change the interior walls and floors to whatever you want.
Can't wait to see some photos!

EDIT: Oh, haha, I just found the judging date
The only cheat you can use is moveobjects.
I'll update the rules on the first page.
"We've been attributing the state of The Sims 4 to greed but I think it's time to give sheer incompetence another look."
-Honeywell
So I changed the prize structure to reflect that. The winner will get either one, two or three Store items, depending on the number of entries.
