    *Chucks desk out of window*

    I moved my Jasper into a lot so I could put down her favorites in here (forgot to do so before closing her out in CAS) and proceeded to work on remodeling the house for her, worked on it for about an hour and saved and then worked on it for hours without saving and have run into a problem I've never seen before... my game won't switch over to live mode... the button lights up but it won't really switch and so I can't save :( I went to sleep at almost 4am hoping it would be back to normal now that I'm awake but the it's still messed up. *sniffle*
    So yeah, I feel your pain

    simfeetunder: I'm so sorry. I have had that happen before. Sometimes you just gotta start over. Which really sucks.

    In other news, Joelle Tigreyse has been updated.

    MissElphelba, I am wondering if, instead of linking to the download page on the exchange if you can link to the entry on the thread instead so we can read the stories and see the pictures there. :)

    Oooh, thanks for the suggestion - I've only just worked out how to do that! I will update to show the thread entry, (as well as the download link), sometime in the next couple of hours. :D

    Sim Name: Harry Hematite
    Description: Harry Hematite has always wanted to learn art. Every attempt he tried always turned gray. It made him sad to see people say it looks dull or that it needs work. Until one day, he found a camera and took a picture of a bush. It didn't turn gray! Did Harry find his new life goal or will it be another disaster?
    Traits: Perfectionist,Workaholic,Photographer's Eye,Genius,and Handy
    I chose Perfectionist because even the dullest people want to be perfect. My Sim wants to work(Workaholic) on finding his life goal a lot. Photographer's eye for a new ART that he is going to find out! Even the most dullest person can be the smartest. He is smart enough to figure out he sucks at painting! Handy because every one has some skill they can fix. Handy doesn't necessary mean that you are bad or good.

    Any Info: Well, I want to join your contest with the gem Hematite. I know Hematite is used for art. Photography is sort of a type of art. Also, I know Hematite can be reddish brown. I wanted to stick with the dullness of the stone then make it look like I was trying to do ruby or any other gem.

    "they must be in CAS studio or in game - no manipulation of images please."

    Does this mean no white rooms and pose players?

    or

    No cropping and college of pics?

    also

    May we add to the story and pics if we come up with more?

    I don't know about the pose player but isn't a white room in game? Quite easy to get with just white walls. Don't see how that would be considered not in-game. I took that to mean no pose-player, no photoshop, no collages, etc.

    I didn't mean white room literally, I mean like some of them have the white background and have just like the cutout of the sim pasted on it in different places.

    ^^This. I don't use pose player and a lot of other players don't, so it's fairer to have it as CAS or in game pics. I don't mind if people crop their CAS pics onto one image, but no fancy backgrounds that aren't from the game (a white room in the game is fine). Adding pics and extra story up until the deadline is fine. Just add them to your existing entry. :D

    Thread updated with new reservations and new entries. If I've missed anyone let me know, sometimes on these threads it's easy to overlook someone.

    I love all the creations so far. I'm looking forward to having them all in my new town very much. I think after Christmas I might have to think about a contest for some nice houses for these sims!
