Summer Sims - CAS Contest (CLOSED!)

SkymystSkymyst Posts: 3,888 Member
Summer Sims


In honor of all things Summer I wanted to do a CAS contest where your job is to Create a Sim and show them off doing some type of Summer activity. Get creative with hot and sassy summer outfits and take a few pictures of them doing something fun you might do in the summer time.

Have fun with this maybe your Sim will have a summer romance or a pool party, the choose is up to you.


Rules/Guidelines


1. Please use an entry form (for easy access to Sims details such as whether they are entered as a custom content Sim or not).

Entry Form

Sims Name:
Link To Download:
Custom Content or Non-Custom Content:
Story/Bio/Background:

2. There needs to be at least 3 screenshots of your Sim (A headshot of your Sims, a body shot (both of these can be done in CAS if you wish) and one doing some type of activity or action in game)

3. Please post some type of bio, background or story with your Sim. It may be as short or as long as you would like it but please post something.

3. All expansions/Stuff packs/T-Mobile Items/Store and Dr. Pepper Items are allowed in non-custom content entries.

4. A link to download your Sim is required. I prefer it to be off the exchange but if you need to put it somewhere else that is ok.

5. New Sims please, you may enter a Sim you have already created as long as it has not been used in any other contest.

6. An entry will not be accept unless it has an entry form, a link to download, the required screenshots and some type of info on them (bio/background/story ect)

7. Please allow me 72 hours for judging but I will try to get it done quicker.

8. Enter as many times as you would like, but each Simmer can only win once. I will take your highest scoring Sim for placement in winning.



Judging Criteria


Point Scale 0 -10 - Appearance (This will include the Sims overall look as well as how well it fits the summer theme)

Points Scale 0 -10 - Screenshots (3 are Required but more are always Desired)

Point Scale 0 - 10 - Story/Bio/Background/Info on the Sims (I like to get a feel for your creation anyone can make a Sim in CAS but to really bring it to life on the computer you need to give it some type of background or story. I am not picky on how you go about doing this but please do it).

Point Scale - 0 - 5 - Bonus Points (Blow me away with your creativity and earn bonus points for something I didn't even think about).


Prizes

1st Place - 200 Points To Spend In Gifts
2nd Place - 100 Points To Spend In Gifts

    Winner Announcements

    First of all I would like to thank everyone who entered my contest! I am glad I was finally able to pull off a successful one. Everyone did an amazing job and I learned that running contest is a lot more work than it looks like. I wish I could gift everyone who entered but I just don’t have that many points left, so instead I want to say something lame but true! “You are all winners and amazingly talented Sim makers”. With that being said let us get on to the winners.

    All of the winners can spend the points on whatever gifts they would like weather from their wishlist, or someone else’s. All that I ask you give me step-by-step instructions so I don’t mess up (meaning post wishlist, and what item you want for either yourself of the person/people you wish to be gifted in your place).


    Custom Content Winners


    1st Place – 200 Points – Zewliemouse_90’s Alice Coleman – Your story and screenshots were amazing, not only was Alice a very cute Sim she made for a very interest summer story. Great job! (GIFTED)

    2nd Place – 100 Points – Sarah3120’s Joy Summer – Great idea using the globe to make her own summer, in a place that is always cold. I loved the creative here! (GIFTED)

    3rd Place – 50 Points – JolienSim’s Kathy Van Looy – Jolien was beautifully done, she really stood out in appearance and the screenshots were nicely done. (GIFTED)


    Custom Content Winners


    1st Place – 200 Points – R_Ravenclaw’s Crispin Reilly – Screenshots were amazing and the bio was a nice read, I laughed at the end with his sunburn! Very nicely done. (GIFTED)

    2nd Place – 100 Points – Kib685’s Penny Lancomb – I love the fact that she was a child enjoying her summer vacation. The screenshot were nice and Penny was cute. Great job! (GIFTED)

    3rd Place – 50 Points – EmmyBird’s Angie LeVaughn – Angie was very well done and I loved that she was trying hard not to think of boys this summer – even if she did a lot of looking from “afar”. Great entry! (GIFTED - 4th Place M2E)




    Winner please let me know what you would like for your prizes and thanks again to everyone for helping me do a successful contest!

    So, my graphics suck, but this the best I can get 'em. Also, I know it's a distant one, but there is a body shot. Let me know if you need a different one.

    This was fun! :mrgreen: Although, I maybe went a little overboard with the pics. :oops:


    Sims Name: Crispin Reilly
    Link To Download: Link
    Custom Content or Non-Custom Content: No CC
    Story/Bio/Background: Crispin Reilly is one of the hottest-rising names in athletics; he’s the newest rookie on the Llamas, and he’s already gained plenty of attention. On this beautiful Saturday morning, he decided to head down to the park, where he was met by a fan.

    screenshot_original.jpg
    Boy: ‘Scuse me, sir.
    Crispin: Yes?
    Boy: You’re not Crispin Reilly of the Llamas, are you?

    screenshot_original.jpg
    Crispin: Uh, yeah, actually…
    Boy: OMG!!! Can I have your autograph?! My friends are gonna be so jealous!!!

    screenshot_original.jpg
    Charmed by the boy’s enthusiasm, Crispin offered the boy a game of catch, to which he readily agreed. Crispin was surprised by how well the boy threw.

    screenshot_original.jpg
    Crispin: Keep this up, kid, and you’ll be on the Llamas in no time!
    Boy: Really?! Wow…That’d be so cool!!!

    Crispin signed the ball when they were done, and posed for a photo, then decided to head over to the pool.

    screenshot_original.jpg
    He took a dip in the pool, obviously, but for the most part, he just enjoyed the view.

    screenshot_original.jpg
    Apparently, he found something he liked… 8)

    screenshot_original.jpg
    Unfortunately, all this time out in the sun wasn’t good for fair-skinned Crispin.

    (Looks like somebody forgot to put on sun-block!) :mrgreen:

    Close- up:

    screenshot_original.jpg

    Bio:
    Zachary Armstrong was born in Twinbrook, he was the All-american athlete, tall, tan and handsome. A month before he moved to Sunset Valley to begin college, his girlfriend, Ellie, broke-up with him. He came to Sunset Valley ready to attack, the ladies that is. He had shared a kiss with his new girlfriend Meghan on a balcony at a friends' pool party.

    screenshot_original.jpg

    screenshot_original.jpg

    Afterwards, he took a couple of his lady friends that he met to the park to roast marshmallows. It reminded Zach of the traditional fall camping trips he took with his friends back home in Twinbrook. He then looked of into the distance and saw the Sunset Coast Ranges, which are the mountains that surround Sunset Valley. He then decided that next weekend, he would start the tradition up again, with his new friends

    That is my assignment!!!

    I hope you loved it, you didnt say anything about gender specification, so i hope this is okay!!!!!


    I LOVE YOU ALL!

    This is a common question and one I not that good at answering so I did a serch on the forums and found a few threads that hopefully can help you.

    http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/241723.page#3048635

    http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/37813.page#293178

    @ jorygomes - You are right I did not say a gender, because it can be any gender of any age. As long as they are enjoying summer!

    To everyone else, amazing entries so far. I am thrilled people like this contest. I need to run to the store but I will be back in a few hours to add everyone's entries.

    Quote :To the OP......If you are talking about screenshots from your game, you
    don't need an account with anyone! Just do this:

    First upload the picture to your studio. Then go to your studio and under
    the "media" tab, find the pic you want to post. Click on it to open the
    larger version of it. Then right click the pic, select "properties" and
    copy the link. Paste the link in your post between the "img" tags and resize
    using "width=640". It will look like this (minus the *'s in the img tags):

    [*img]http://llnw.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/4
    53/536/004/00/screenshot_original.jpg "width=640"[*/img]

    I am not so good at this,but it is this metode I use,exept for that "width=640",that I have not tryed yet..hm..I just left click on pic,then rightclick,copy and paste inn.and img before and after.Like it say over here.
