Welcome to my latest contest! This contest is a two-part contest. You will need to
create a sim, and
redesign an existing home in Sunset Valley for them (interior only). No building skills required, except for some interior wallls! To be eligible for entry, you must complete both parts.
Both parts can use items from all EPS and SPs, as well as store content and Dr Pepper content.
No CC except for Patterns, which have been made in CAP and you must provide links for them.
PosePlayer and the usual in game cheats are allowed.
You can enter more than once.
Part 1
Create a Sim (Young Adult) based on one of the following elements:
Earth
Air
Water
Fire
Light
Dark
No CC except for Patterns, which have been made in CAP and you must provide links for them.
Minimum of two images, maximum of four, one of which must be a headshot. Further images can be linked to via a slideshow if necessary. More points will be available if at least one of the shots is taken in game (this should be easy enough - see part 2!). Images should not be manipulated with image editing software (no "PhotoShopped" backgrounds, for instance).
Entries must include a description of your Sim, explaining how you think they fit the element you have chosen. Be creative here - there will be points!
You must upload the Sim to the exchange (or mediafire) for Custard checking.
Part 2
Create a new game in Sunset Valley.
From the menu, go into edit town
Flava-ful at 43 Water Lily Lane. No other lot will be accepted for this contest. From the options given when you select the house, evict the residents.
Ignoring the outside of the house (not relevant for this contest), remodel this house for your created sim.
You cannot add a floor or a basement - you have only the one floor to work with.
You must have a kitchen, bathroom and bedroom, as a bare minimum requirement.
You can move all internal walls, delete all furniture, replace all floor and wall coverings and replace all windows and all doors to fit your style.
Again, no CC except for Patterns, which have been made in CAP and you must provide links for them.
Bear in mind that no marks will be available for landscaping or movement of objects outside the house. This competition focuses on interior design, so that this contest is accessible to the non builders out there. However feel free to tidy up the aesthetics if it makes you feel better, especially if you want to keep the lot in your studio!
Take photos to showcase your remodel. Minimum of 4 images, Maximum of 8. Further images can be linked to via a slideshow if necessary. More points will be available if your lot images include your sim! Images should not be manipulated with image editing software (no text on images - it should be obvious with such a small house where the bathroom, kitchen is, etc!).
You must upload the remodel at least for the duration of the contest and judging. Entries will lose points if they cannot be confirmed to be CC free with Custard.
Note: If needed I do have a gutted out copy of the house, which I could upload for you to place on any 20 x 30 lot in any town. However, I presumed it would be less hassle for people to go into their own games and edit the lot themselves. Hence me choosing a lot from the base game town. But if you do need the house for any reason, then I can upload it to the exchange. It must then be placed on a 20 x 30 lot.

CC Found
I've run the completed entries through Custard and quite a bit o CC has slipped through. Please check the list below to see if you're on it, and resubmit accordingly.
EARTH:
Vanacakes - hair, eyeliner, object (SinkPedestalProvence_batch16 - I'm presuming this is a "variant" of the store product with a similar name)
DARK - shogunfish - CC eyeshadow found
Please refine your entries and resubmit. I strongly recommend that you download Custard yourselves if you can and check entries before they are submitted for contests. Custard is free and helps you spot things that are so easily overlooked when you have a lot of CC in your game. It's incredibly simple to use and <a href="http://sims3.crinrict.com/en/category/tutorial/tutorial-tools/custard">Crinrict has some great tutorials</a> to help you.
****************************
Tip: (thanks Puddinroy for raising this))
To get pictures of your sim in your lot, you will have to save them to your game as a household, then move them into the empty lot, using the edit town feature. If you need further help with this, please ask.
Kayla_Elaine has kindly offered her services as a judge. Thanks very much hun! We would love another judge to join us!
SmashBridges20 has also kindly offered her services as a judge - and will be sponsoring this contest with 1000 sim points!! Thank you so much!!

Before I announce the winners I have to say this was the hardest contest I've judged so far. There were so many original ideas, and the scoring for some entries was incredibly close. Everyone did a great job in this contest and you should all be proud of yourselves!
Many thanks to Kayla_Elaine and SmashBridges20 for being my co-judges. And thanks also to Smash for sponsoring this contest too!

Congrats to all the winners!! Please reply to this thread (it'll get lost on mypage), stating what prizes you would like!
Thank you everyone for participating and making this such a fun contest!
I don't see why not. Would you be uploading the entries on her behalf, or does she have an account here?
I would be uploading the entries on her behalf
Hi BRO!!
Yes you do need to complete both parts - BUT, you don't need to build. The house exists in Sunset Valley - you just need to gut it out, clear away their bad taste and add your own. I don't want people building - this is contest is aimed at those who either don't want to build or aren't quite ready to take the plunge into a full blown building contest (not that builders are excluded - the more the merrier - they just will be decorating, not building!!). I know you can do that, it's just like dressing a Sim, except it's the house!
Cool!
:shock: :shock: Oh gosh, I need to get glasses. I missed that part. LOL. So there is a 99% chance that I will be handing in an entry. I love these themed contests, its so fun to see what people come up with. Is there a limit on how many people can do an element?
Count me in. I'll do a sim and redecorate a shack
No limits set at the moment. It's a free for all!!
YAY!
Hi MissElpheba! In the first post-will you tell how to evict them and get your sim in the house. Thank you
***hugs Smash until she pops!***
Thanks hun!!! I shall re-jig the prizes in a sec.
Sorry hun - I had assumed that people knew those steps - bad assumption on my part, I guess. Will amend now.
