Fairy Tale Inspiration: The Princess and the Frog, Disney Version

Synopsis: The young girl Tiana and her friend, Charlotte La Bouff, are told the story of the Frog Prince by Tiana's mother while she makes a dress for Charlotte. Later that night at home, Tiana and her father make gumbo while he tells her how good food brings people together and about his dream of owning his own restaurant. Some years later after her father dies, Tiana is a young waitress living in 1921 New Orleans, Louisiana with a passion for the culinary arts. Tiana works at two different diners in order to raise money to buy an old sugar mill, which she plans to turn into the restaurant her father dreamed about. When Eli "Big Daddy" La Bouff, who is Charlotte's father and the mayor of the town, invites Prince Naveen to his masquerade ball Charlotte hires Tiana for catering services. Eli seeks to welcome the recently arrived Prince Naveen of Maldonia as an eligible suitor to his daughter. Tiana is thrilled to finally have enough to purchase and renovate the old sugar mill into her restaurant.
The disinherited Prince Naveen, penniless and unskilled, is intent on marrying a wealthy woman rather than learning a trade. He and his valet Lawrence encounter Dr. Facilier, a witch doctor who convinces the pair that he can improve both their lives. Instead, Facilier transforms Naveen into a frog and gives Lawrence a voodoo charm that transforms his appearance to that of Naveen's when worn. Facilier intends for Lawrence, under the guise of Naveen, to marry Charlotte in order to gain access to her father’s fortune; Lawrence will get 40% of it as payment for his help.
At the ball, Tiana discovers she may lose the mill to a higher bidder. Tiana then meets Naveen, who, believing her to be a princess because of her costume, asks her to kiss him and break Facilier's curse. Tiana reluctantly agrees, in exchange for the money needed to outbid the other buyer. However, instead of Naveen turning back into a human, Tiana is turned into a frog herself. A chase ensues, and Naveen and Tiana escape to the bayou.
Lawrence later proposes to Charlotte, who agrees, but the magic in Facilier's charm wears off and Lawrence reverts to his original form. Another sample of the prince's blood is needed in order to prolong the spell, but Facilier finds that Lawrence foolishly released him. Facilier turns to the voodoo spirits for help, with the promise that once Lawrence marries Charlotte, he will have total control over New Orleans and will be able to offer the citizens' souls as payment. The voodoo spirits provide shadow demons, who are dispatched to locate Naveen.
At the bayou, Tiana and Naveen meet Louis, a trumpet-playing alligator, who offers to lead them to Mama Odie, an ancient and good-hearted voodoo priestess who they believe can undo the curse. Later, they meet Ray, a Cajun firefly, who joins them on their journey. Ray is in love with the Evening Star, who he calls Evangeline, believing it to be a distant firefly.
When the four find Mama Odie, she tells the frogs that Naveen must kiss a true princess for them to become human, and that since Eli La Bouff is King of Mardi Gras, Charlotte is a princess, but only until the stroke of midnight, when Mardi Gras is over. Naveen soon realizes that he loves Tiana, but before he can admit his feelings, he is captured by the shadow demons and brought to Facilier.
Before Lawrence and Charlotte can marry, Ray helps Naveen escape and steals the charm. Ray gives the charm to Tiana to hold back Facilier's minions, but Facilier kills him. Facilier then confronts Tiana and transforms her back to her human form. He then offers to make her restaurant dream come true in exchange for the charm, but Tiana refuses and attempts to destroy the talisman, realizing that even if she does not have what she wants, she still has what she needs. Facilier manages to catch it before it breaks and turns her into a frog again, unwittingly giving her the opportunity to grab the talisman with her tongue and destroy it. The angered voodoo spirits appear and, using Facilier himself as payment for his debts, drag him to the voodoo version of Hell.
While Lawrence is arrested, Tiana and Naveen reveal their love to each other. Charlotte, after listening to their explanation of the situation, agrees to kiss Naveen so he and Tiana can be together. The clock strikes midnight before she can kiss him, but the two decide they are content to live together as frogs. Ray is mourned by the other swamp creatures, but his soul becomes a star shining next to "Evangeline".
Later, Tiana and Naveen are married by Mama Odie; because Tiana has married a prince, she has become a princess, and their kiss breaks the spell. They share a kiss again. After a second wedding at St. Louis Cathedral, the couple return to New Orleans. Months later, Tiana and Naveen have transformed the sugar mill into the long awaited restaurant, called Tiana's Palace, after winning the bid with the help of Louis. Tiana and Naveen celebrate their opening with their family and friends while she sings "Down in New Orleans".

Idontrcall, I just wanted to let you know that my computer got delivered - but it got to my father not me. I'm crossing my fingers that it works and everything is fine. So, assuming it works, I should have it up and running by Monday which means that with the seven day extension I should be able to get my lot finished and it! Thank you for the extension! I'm looking forward to getting to finish my lot. (And I wanted to let you know I hadn't forgotten this).

Are we allowed to use Poseplayer?
Aerlinniel, I saw in another thread that your computer had arrived (at your dad's). That's great news! Hopefully you can get it into your hands soon. Remember, as long as you have the entry form filled out we will allow a grace period of up to 7 days to post the actual links.
We have a lot of fantastic entries, and we want to make sure we have enough time with each entry to play with them so we can fairly judge. So the judging period will be at least a week, probably a little more.
MizoreYukii, pose player is allowed for your picture story-telling purposes. It will not have an effect on judging so it is OK.
Yes, they are!!!
Can we do ghost story's? O_O Just in case I find one that sounds possible and is appropriate. xD
My boyfriend and I are trying to decide on which fairytale we are going to do, but I'm thinking of doing Santa Claus/St. Nick.
Ghost stories would work. I remember lots of ghost stories from my youth. And Santa Claus/St. Nick would be appropriate, too, I think!
I've been distracted but am finishing up my entry. It's taking longer than I thought to make 14 sims and try to give them their own look and personality while sticking with the medieval theme. I've had to get creative, mix periods, and reuse certain outfits for all of them. Hopefully you won't hate that too badly.
So anyway, I'm almost done! And this shouldn't be on page 3 anyway
I'm glad you are still working on it, and I understand the distraction part completely!
Can't wait to see it, Meg
You have 2 days left to submit your entries!!
All official entries need to be in by the 11:59 (GMT) 28/04/2014
then you will have a week to update/edit your entries!
Edit: If you have any issues about the time limit, please contact me or lala
There was a contestant who was having computer issues and we have allowed her to fill out the entry form but provide the link to her uploaded entry within a certain time frame. If she can upload and link it for us by then, her entry will be accepted.
This applies to everyone who is having problems. Just let Aitkens and me know ahead of time and we can make arrangements.
I am sure we will not have all the entries judged within 7 days, so we are allowing a small grace period for those who have had computer or launcher problems. But their intention to enter must be presented before the deadline in a couple of days.
I'm still unsure of what I want to do, as I can't figure out how to do a sleigh, but at this rate I don't think I can make it. I have a few other contests to work on and I have judging to do as well. :XD:
I'm kind of working on a little something for this, and I kind of started a little late, almost finished though! A few more tests...
But uhm, I hadn't been peeking thru the thread honestly.. I am just doing it for fun really.. Were we supposed to tell what tale we wanted to do? I was just looking thru the first few posts, and I noticed I may have picked the same tale as someone else without realizing it until now. :oops: Is that ok? (Theirs is amazingly better imo anyhow :shock: )

Yeah, we would like a brief synopsis telling us about your tale.
and it's totally fine if you and another contestant has the same fairytale
And you don't have to pre-tell your tale, just write a brief synopsis of the story as part of your entry just in case someone isn't familiar with it.
I hope your playtesting goes well, too! I am excited to see it
Quick question: Is it okay if I don't furnished the tiny mushroom houses on the lot? The are mostly for look, seeing as I'm not really adding townfolk to populated the city. It has been an immense project building an entire city on one lot! But if you would like me to do the mushroom house interiors, I will try my best, otherwise I'm just going to add 'hidden' markers to them to keep people out. Here is my Emerald City all lit up for night:
The mushroom houses I was talking about are the smaller ones on the right hand side.

Fairy Tale Inspiration: THE FROG PRINCESS aka TSAREVNA FROG - a Russian folktale
Lot Name/Link: WILD WOOD (the lot for THE PRINCESS FROG fairytale)
Edited http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8185941
Household Name/Link: THE FROG PRINCESS (household)
http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8183879
Just in case - Lot+Household: PRINCESS FROG
Edited http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8185943
Synopsis:
The tsar (king) sets his three sons to marry, and tests their chosen brides. The king tells them to shoot arrows and find their brides where the arrows land, and the youngest prince's arrow is picked up by a frog. The king assigns his three prospective daughters-in-law various tasks, such as spinning cloth and baking bread. In every task, the frog far outdoes the lazy brides-to-be of the older brothers. Still, the young prince is ashamed of his froggy bride, until she is magically transformed into a princess. She was obligated to spend 3 years in a frog's skin for disobeying Tsar Koschei The Immortable. Her final test may be to dance at the king's banquet. The Frog Princess having shed her skin, the prince then burns it, to her dismay. If he had waited, she would have been free, but he has lost her. He then sets out to find her again and meets up with Baba Yaga, who told him that Koschei has his bride captive, and how to find the magic needle without which Koschei would be helpless. And so he killed Koschei and rescues his bride.
Pictures:
My story is the very beginning of this fairytale, without happy ending yet.
Once upon a time there lived tsarevna Vasilisa - 'tsarevna' is Russian for 'princess' - called Vasilisa The Wise as she was as clever as beautiful.
Evil Tsar Koschei The Immortable fell in love with her.
But she hated him and rebelled against him.
Koschei got furious
turned Vasilisa into a frog
and put her into his dungeon where she's awaiting for Ivan Tsarevitch - Ivan The Prince - to save her.
Koschei's castle
The third member of this household is Baba Yaga Bony Leg, who is hoped to help Ivan with some advice on how to kill Koschei
Baba Yaga's Hut on Chicken Legs
And this dress is prepared for future marriage
Sorry for so many pictures :oops: But I've made about 600 screenshots and it was so hard to decide which of them NOT to use :x
I hope it's OK if I share more pictures on my thread later and then put a link here - I'm afraid, I won't be able to do this in time :?
I wasn't allowed to send Vasilisa as a frog/toad So she had to be cured and sent to Exchange as a human. But Koschei has enough power to turn her into a toad again
Edited I had to edit the lot as it turned out that in the previous version you couldn't get into 'the iron chest' where Koschei's death is, as the ladder was too close to the wall. I fixed it and now Koschei The Immortable can be killed. I also added some fog to the enchanted forest ;-)
Stupid me! I thought I checked everything, but I forgot the most important thing :x
I hope it's not too late :oops:
Updated: Welcome to my thread everyone to see many more pictures

Updated on May, 4: I've made a video on my fairy tale:

You all would make me happy by watching the video and leaving your comments :oops:
This is my last editing (I hope ) I did everything I was going to. Thanks for extra time!
