    Thank you for the extra time! My computer's here and back up and running.

    I've been working on it today and hopefully I'll finish in the next day or two. It depends on when I get back from work.

    Rosemow, I really appreciate the time you take to leave feedback on almost every contest entry on the whole board! I really appreciate the time and effort you put into us :) Do you download and play with things, or do you just sim in the forums these days, if you don't mind my asking?

    I hardly ever play these days, just build. I am ready for a building break and am going to get back into game after I download a bunch of these fairytale creations and a bunch of the medieval contest entries. After problems with sticky CC in that contest, I switched to having a building only clean folder, and a gaming folder that I will download to. That's what set me back in both of these contests, rebuilding everything in a clean folder! And I had a computer melt down the week leading up to Easter, and had to redownload all my games, and all my store content. But thankful I could see it coming, and was able to copy my sims build folder to a thumb drive! (Somehow the downloads folder disappeared from that folder, though?! so thus the redownload of store content, and the folder with all the sims games was corrupted, forcing me to redownload them!)

    Anyway, tomorrow I plan on going back through all the entries to comment on them :) Thank you for your comments, too, LaLa and Meg! I love the gorgeous castle and characters you designed Meg! Beautiful as usual!

    I'm sorry, it's not there anymore. I downloaded a few lots on the exchange and noticed some messed up custom content in my game. In an effort to keep from infecting others games, I erred on the side of caution. I don't know if that lot was infected so I got rid of it. I also did a reinstall of my game so I completely lost the lot. Sorry...I forgot about the contest until today. I had fun building for it, though and thank you for hosting.

    I'll post here what I wrote on your thread Chelsea :) Your Fairytale story is great! :) It is great how you told the story though pictures in your first post about the tale. Then you brought it to life through representing it in sims games version form! I enjoyed very much looking at the pictures of the sims and the builds that your created to tell the story. The sims are great! Great creating of each of them! It is great how you have done the section of the story where you have the oak tree then the chest under the tree, then the bonsai snake, the hare bunny on the pedestal, the rubber ducky duck, the nice glass egg and then there is the needle. Great representation of the items in the tale using sims games items! It is great that you have created Koshei looking like a bone skeleton because of the meaning of his name. He looks great! As you said, he would be friends with Bonehilda! Great exterior of Baba Yaga's hut! It looks great how you have built it on legs. The spiderweb pattern that you have used for the interior walls and your placement of big spiders on the walls looks great! The princess is very pretty! She also looks great when she has been turned into a frog! It looks great how you have done Baba Yaga's face ! Great photo of him riding his broomstick. It looks nice how you have done the forest setting. The bridge looks nice. It is a nice photo that you posted of the princess sitting on the seat bench near the pond having a read of a book. It looks great how you have done Koschei's Castle! Great exterior of it! The texture you have used for the exterior looks great. The tree of despair looks stark and great! It looks great how you have used and placed the sculptures. Very nicely done furnishing of the interior of the castle ! The skull pattern that you have used looks great! It looks very threatening and not nice! It looks great how you have the eerie purple skies and black trees background setting backdrop on the wall behind Koschei's. bed. The yellow and black skull pattern you have used for his bed looks great! It looks great how you have furnished the treasure room with the treasure chests and the gems and other items on the shelves there. The gold you have used for the furnishings through his home looks great.
    The way you have told the story through the sims you have created, the buildings you have built, the forest setting, and the words and photos that you have posted looks great! :)

    Your Tam Lin household of sims and the build are great Aerlinniel :) Very nicely done telling of the tale through the setting up of the scenes for the pictures and then writing the accompanying story words to them! You have told the tale well! It looks very nice how you have done the outside patterns on the ground using the terrain paint ! It looks very nice how you have done the outdoors flowers and plants.It looks nice how you have done the glow around Tam Lin when he appeared after Janet picked a rose from the rose bush! . It looks very nice the types of clothing that that the sims are wearing, and the shades of colours that you have used look very nice! Very nice colours of the horses! It looks great how you have used the horses in the scenes of your story. It is great that you have used the dive well as the water that Janet through Tam Lin into. Very nice exterior of the house building! The texture that you have used for the exterior and the placement of the ivy greenery on it looks great and adds to the feel of the build. The tower looks great! It looks great that you used the circular staircase. Great type of and placement of the windows in the build. It looks great how you have set up the chapel wedding area of the building. Great type of and placement of the pews for the wedding guests to sit on as watch the wedding ceremony. The green tapestry on the wall suits well the build, Sims will enjoy listening to the grand piano and bass being played whilst getting married, and then have a drink at the bar afterwards and enjoy eating food from the buffet table. It looks great how you have used brown and green shades of colour through the interior. The way you have done the trees through the outdoors looks great!
    Very nice sims, great building and outdoors areas , and very nice telling of the tale through your pictures that you have set up as scenes and then written the story words to describe the tale. :)

    Aitkens may have got a little confused which led to "wording" this wrong.

    (Thats a good cover story, they'll belive that :lol: )

    :lol:

    By edit entries, I mean for the people who have had game or rl issues to get their entry finished

    Thank you for the lovely comments rosemow!

    Just a quick note to Lala and Aitkens, when I edited my post to include pictures and the lot link I seem to have broken the link to my entry from the first page. So, sorry about that! I just wanted to make sure you were aware of that...
