    Aerlinniel -- I have your household listed on the entry page :)...and my computer is in the shop now, lol. Your Tam Lin characters are great!

    MolliesDollies -- I love, love, love your Emerald City and the characters from the Wizard of Oz (even cute little Toto)...everything looks great!

    Peachy -- I love what you have for the 7th Door. It's a fairy tale I'm not familiar with, so I'm excited to learn more about it. Sorry about your photobucket woes!

    warlockfemale -- I hope you get a chance to enter! With a 1,000 page book, I hope you find a couple of ideas! :wink:

    Kkarichan -- Thank you for your second entry! It's absolutely stunning. It reminds me of the Grove Park Inn In Asheville, NC. Really quite beautiful :)

    Thanks idontrcall for your lovely comments I wanted it to be a build that would be remembered it just sucks the game crashed before I got to save but tonight I plan to remake it using the photos for reference this time im going to save the game before I decorate the inside I just get so wrapped into my builds I forget to save sometimes. I have never heard of grove park inn nor have I seen it so its funny my castle looks like it.

    Very nicely and beautifully presented Fairytale story of Seventh Door! Peachy1102 :) It is great! Very nicely setting up of the different coloured rooms! Very nice photos and accompanying story in words! The pictures are very expressive and tell the story well. Each of the sims are very nice. Your portrayal of the Fairytale in simform using sims and the items that we have in our sims games is done so well! Very nice telling of the Fairytale story! :)

    Your Sleeping Beauty sims are very nice Kkarichan :) Very nice shades of colours that you have used for their clothing. Nice types of outfits that they are wearing and it looks nice how you have recoloured them. Grace's wings look pretty. The skintone and the colour of Malificent's clothes looks great and suits the character.
    They are great sims :)

    Soria Moria Castle is a Norwegian Fairy Tale about a humble hero, Halvor, and his quest to fight the evil trolls in order to free a Princess and her two sisters. Halvor is aided in his quest by a magic ring that allows him to wish himself anywhere he wishes to be, and a pair of magic shoes that takes 20 miles a step. Once he is victorious in his battle against the trolls, Halvor may choose one of the Princesses as his bride. After he loses possession of the magic ring, he must somehow find his way back to Soria Moria Castle and the reunited Princesses.

    The video had been presented so very well JEREMYSIMS01 ! :) I enjoyed watching it! You have told the Fairytale so very beautifully and nicely! It looks great how you have written the words on scrolls and in old fashioned font lettering !Very nicely done scenes of the story! It looks very nice how you have the prince riding on his horse towards the castle. The scenic backgrounds of Hidden Springs suits the story so well ! It looks great how you have done the scene where he fights the trolls. The purple and pink colour effects adds great atmosphere, and it looks great how you used the pit monster there! The troll type of rocks look great. The electricity sparks look great! It looks great how you have uses teleporting to make the sims disappear into thin air, and then also to suddenly appear. It was great how at the feast you had the jester jumping through the flames of the wheel. The glowing effect coming from the magic shoes looked great! The elderly witch woman that you created to help him find the castle and that he exchanged his horse for the shoes for is nice. It looks great how at the end of the video you presented the cast of sims and listed their traits , all written on scrolls. Very nice music to accompany the video which suits the video very much. Very nice scene in front of the wishing well where he presents the princess with the flowers and they are happy. It looks great how you have created the spinning wheel in the beginning section of the video, in keeping with the part of the Fairytale where there is the spinning wheel. It looks great how you have set up the scene where you have the prince about to drink from the nearby magic flask , and have swords nearby to attack the trolls with. It looks great how you have done the scenes where the prince is talking to the sims. The sims themselves are very nice! Very nice clothes that they are wearing. The colours that you have used for them look nice. It looks great that you have included gnomes as part of the cast ! Very nice design of the castle! The exterior of the castle looks so very nice and grand ! Great roofing! It looks great how you have done the windows ! Great outdoors areas! The landscaping looks very nice. Very grand furnishing of the interior of the castle! The patterns and colours that you have used for the interior walls look very nice! The dining room area looks great. Very nice type of dining table and seats you have used that suit well a castle . It looks great how you have placed the seats along the sides of the long table, so that many sims can sit and eat together at the same time. The knights at either end look great. There are so many great details through the build outdoors and inside!
    Very nice presented Fairytale, both in the video telling of the story, as well as in the castle build and the sims :)

    JEREMYSIMS01 - I am watching the You Tube video you made now, and Wow!! What a fantastic job! I wanted to pop in and say I'll be getting your entry listed after I finish the video but I didn't want to forget to ask ... how did you get the rubber duckies to float in the fountain?

    Do they always do that? (3:06 your video) OMG -- I need to know how to do that, lol!!!


    Thank you so much for your great entry!


    :D

    Thanks, Idontrcall. The rubber duckies do float in the fountain all the time. I placed a Fog Emitter in the fountain and used a code that was used in the Pets EP for one of the water obstacles. The code should be entered as ep5waterobstacleducky. If you place the Fog Emitter directly on the ground, the ducks are set too low in the water. I built a platform, set the Fog Emitter on top, and then deleted the platform. With the extra height, the ducks appear closer to the water surface and bob up and down.

    Hi everyone! Here I am again as it's time for some WOWs :wink:

    The contest is so inspiring and the entries are great :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Rec'd them all of course :wink:

    Mstybl95, I wanted to rec your Rumpelstiltskin family and lot, but got "Dude, where's my car?" :( That's a nuisance as I really like your creation :thumbup:

    HadesDragoness, your Fairy Tale The Old Witch reminds me on a Russian fairy tale Geese-Swans. Geese-Swans - yes, THAT were those birds called - kidnapped a toddler for Baba Yaga - a Russian witch - who was going to eat him. But his sister managed to save him. and the Apple Tree, the Oven and the Milky River helped them :D

    Great entries so far! :thumbup:

    I just saw that leep's Peter Pan got featured on the German Sims 3 Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/dieSims/photos/a.120460748582.103498.81030138582/10152021676163583/?type=1&theater
    Congratulations, Leep!

    Peachy, oh, I love this ballet! And your Odette is so gentle! I also love the Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky - I can do anything for the music, even sink in a river like a rat :mrgreen: I've been keen on Hoffman's tales, too. One of my favourite composers is Edvard Grieg as well. his Peer Gynt is awesome! Sorry, I'm too talkative :oops:

    ACarron, the castle is fantastic! It looks as if it were really built of ice :thumbup:

    There are several sites, including SimsVIP, that have listings of all the codes. The problem is that there are literally hundreds of them, and some either don't show up at all with the fog emitter, or are too fast or small to have a visual impact. SimEve1 has a series of videos on her YouTube channel that show the effects of various codes. Unfortunately, she stopped doing them with the later EPs because of the time involved. If I see a code that sounds interesting, I sometimes just try it out to see what I get.

    @Idontrcall - I hope you are able to find some good uses for the code! :P
