Q and A:
Q-It can be any architectural style?
A-Yep...it can be anything you can do! If your dream home was sleeping in a garden and no walls or roof that is fine too...your dream 100% but the entire lot will be looked at so if your dream home is an apartment or loft make sure its in your dream building with your dream surroundings on that lot.
Q-I REALLY want to do an edited title image. If I put at the corner: ""EDITED. PLEASE DO NOT JUDGE FROM THIS PICTURE."" Is that OK??
A-Hmm, if you really want the title image to be edited I can accept that but please mark it as you stated above and keep in mind that it and what it shows will not be used in your scoring which means you might want to use a different picture to show that area again.
Q-How can I show the pictures?
A-Any way that works for you. If you want to upload to a site like photobucket that is great or you can make a story on this site. Just make sure you link to your photos if you are not posting them in your entry.
Q-Can shells be used and it still be a new build?
A-As long as it is a new shell and you do all the landscaping and decorating it can be allowed. If you are using a shell created by someone else please let them know you are using it for this contest and please give them credit for their work.
Q-Can you team up with some one?
A-Yeah sure just make sure to put both your names on the entry form. If you both have the same dream home I wont stop you from working together.
Q-What is not 3rd party CC?
A-Store stuff, Patterns, recolors, Dr. Pepper items, T-Moible, and All EPs/SP are okay. Anything not listed above is 3rd party CC. You are free to use any 3rd party CC you want and it will not take points away. However, if you are able to build your home with out 3rd party CC you will get 2 extra points added to your score.
Q-Can I include sims in the pictures?
A-Sure, a dream house doesnt need to be empty! But keep in mind that you are judged on the house not the sims in it so please do not focus your images on the Sim. But feel free to use a sim to highlight your home. Also if you choose to upload your lot you are more then welcome to include the Sims with that home and thanks for sharing your dream with the community.

Congrats winners! Please let me know how you would your prize "money" used.
I think I can safely say for both Bandcampsquirrel and myself that this was a very hard contest to judge and you all did a wonderful job! Thank you so much for being a part of this contest and turning in sure wonderful work!
And thank you Bandcampsquirrel for helping me judge!
I wanted to make sure people had alot of time for it, I know building can take people awhile (it takes me forever!) and I want people to be able to really do what they want, not what they had time for.
Yep...it can be anything you can do! If your dream home was sleeping in a garden and no walls or roof that is fine too...your dream 100% but the entire lot will be looked at so if your dream home is an apartment or loft make sure its in your dream building with your dream surroundings on that lot.
I have 1 special idea.... but that would require me to build using the apartment thing from LN in a special way...is that ok?
Yep thats fine, hope you are able to enter. I will put your name down for now
ok
but
please don't put my name down.... that just stress me.... :?
Secondly... can we use Store Content? I'm guessing we can since we don't need to put up a download link... but just confirming?
Last of all... I REALLY want to do an edited title image. If I put at the corner: ""EDITED. PLEASE DO NOT JUDGE FROM THIS PICTURE."" Is that OK??
Thanks so much for such an amazing contest!
EDIT: Oops... forgot. Please may I enter?!
Bookmarked.
I must enter now since the deadline is my birthday ^______________^ Sign me up doll!!
hun we can't see the pictures in your studio, unless you create a story with them ^________^
When you do that is just takes me to your studio and I see your creations. The pictures you upload to your studio are private and can't be accessed by link. You have to make a story with them or use the links from the pictures to put on another site. I suggest photobucket. It's free, easy to you and doesn't take much time.
Not sure what you are asking hun. But if you go to create a story on the site you'll be able to put your pictures in a story here.
