*gasp!* Well, it looks like I won't be skimping out on my map this time! (And I might have just gone back and added an aerial view of the forest to my entry's spoilers because I feel like it, but shhh, don't tell anyone!)
Hilarious!!! I LUHV the map!! That looks so great!! Setting the bar high!!
After I looked at your build and was thinking that it would be cool to have a map to know where all the unique places were, I thought it would be a cool twist for this comp! Makes sense with our theme! You've inspired my new favorite part of the challenge!
Omiscan Ball Pits looks great! @fabtiffsim Very nice design and layout of the build! The Stonehenge around the middle area of the basketball court looks very great! It is very nice that there is an upper level spectator bar area, where sims can enjoy sitting at the table having a drink from the tiki bar whilst watching basketball being played. The other upper level spectator patio area with the log seats looks very nice also!
It is a very creative build!
My build is done, but I've been scouring the interwebs for CC for my sims. No leis, no grass skirts anywhere! I will use something else, then. I will save my islandy idea for when there is islandy stuff.
Is anyone else working on this? I kind of stole @fabtiffsim 's idea and ran with it, but I love soaking up ideas from everyone!
Prehistory Challenge #: Ancient Mayan Ball Pit
Origin ID: haids1987
Gallery Link (if applicable:) Here!
Skill level: Intermediate
Back story: Keeping one's body healthy has always been a priority in the ancient world, and this gymnasium ensures that for humans and animals alike! There is a weight training station, a boxing station, and a pool for ancient Sims to keep themselves in peak physical condition. Since working animals were crucial in the ancient days as well, the training station for them is almost as large. Let the games begin!

@fabtiffsim The map is in the imgur link to the pictures.
My fellow goddesses, I did NOT think I would enjoy this challenge, but dagnabbit, I had so much fun flexing my creative muscles here (pun intended, heheheh)! I was out of my comfort zone and I had a ball doing it! I'm a little frustrated because the gym equipment was supposed to be covered up by stacked rocks, but the game didn't save them, so it just looks like modern-day workout gear. Alas.
Landscaping has always been a challenge for me, so I took Tiff's advice from the my treehouse build and really tried to make it pretty this time around. Hopefully I didn't go overboard, but it's more greenery than I usually do!
EDIT: And before you tell me that there was no indoor plumbing in the ancient times, I have sources that prove there was!
The design and layout of the Gym looks very great! @Haids5987 The way you have designed the building structure and the texture of the walls suits the ancient theme well! The columns in the front entrance area look very effective! It is very nice that there are training station areas for both humans and animals. They look very nice placed either sides of the pool. Sims will enjoy using the treadmills. punching bags and weights machines to keep fit. The training course for the animsls looks great! Sims will enjoy swimming in the pool, and the greenery is a nice touch on the wall. The sculptures add a great look to the build! It is great that there is a bar nook in the build also. Sims will enjoy having a drink after doing training.
It is a very nice ancient times gym!
You are so very creative ! @phantasmkiss You have written the story so very well! You have brought into the story so many little and big things that our sims do! You have a great sense of humour! The rules are great! It is great that cow plants were a part of the story! Very nice design of the Ancient Ball Pit itself! The day of the dead banners are a nice touch on the walls.
The build and the story is so very creatively designed and written!
Thank you @rosemow ! My daughter didn't like the story as much because of how disjointed it is, but I decided to throw storytelling out the window for once and show the game. Insanity!
Edit: I finished my blog post for Challenge 12! My daughter should like that one more. The Elven Village is much more her thing.
HAHA I love this! Set the record straight!! Fabtiffsim doesn't know her history and here's proof! haha it's true I have no idea, but this means that we're welcome to use toilets now and I'm sure every builder in this comp thanks you
It's true, I have been too busy to get online for a little bit!! I'm not really "unwell" anymore, I'm just doing one of those insane allergy elimination diets and with that and work and normal adulting I've just been swamped and a little run down. But I'm here today and ready to look at all the builds!! I'm super excited!
So this round is officially closed and I'm starting my judging!
Hello @fabtiffsim I hope that you can work out what food is causing your allergies. I hope that you can get some rest soon, in the midst of the busyness of all that your life is holding. Sending a hug to you
Happy judging!
I want to comment on the comments for the last round!
@Haids5987
I love your building. The shape of the walls, the different patterns you used on them and on the ground. That's something I struggle with and redo about a hundred times. I did indeed steal my walls layout from the challenge example because my buildings want to look like boxes. I do a lot of pressing the save to gallery button to see what they look like and then changing half of them.
I used to make my daughter do my landscaping, but one time I went crazy and stacked stuff on top of itself, which you did with your rocks, and it sucks big time that the upload took some away! Not every build needs a ton of flowers or trees though, and your gym does well without them. Try playing with the ground paint just to get a feel for layering. I went flipping nuts with it, there is no bare ground in my build, but that may be a little overboard.
I'm totally going to steal the way you used foundations to make the pool on a rise and set up your statues. I have learned a new trick! Thank you, mwahaha.
@fabtiffsim
Your map assignment gave me a hard time! I had forgotten where I put everything and had to go back! I set the place up for parties, so there's one kitchen for caterers, one bar for bartenders, one musical instrument for musician, etc, and the levels are what level of the building they're on. Royalty is on level 4 of the building on the right.
I read the TSN in my banner as The Sims Network! Which is probably the channel that would play Sims Sports Entertainment...
I don't know why I'm so talkative, but if you read all that, have a cupcake!
@phantasmkiss this is fantastic news! I tweeted it, so maybe some simmers will take a sneak peak! That would be so fun!
Also I laughed about the Sims Network, which is something I would much rather spend my life watching than the actual stupid sports network haha my fella is a sports FANATIC and he ruins my life on a regular basis with his sport obsessions haha
Thank you so much for your commentary/critique on my lot, @fabtiffsim! You always give the best feedback and I so appreciate that! I also love your laid-back attitude and upbeat spin, even if it's constructive criticism; I feel like you and I should be sharing a bowl of the Devil's lettuce. And look at me, trolling all over the place regarding ancient plumbing--you're welcome, fellow builders!
@phantasmkiss Awww, thank you so much! To be honest I Googled the Coliseum and tried to duplicate that to some degree, but ended up going off in my own direction and it turned out nothing like the Coliseum! I LOVE YOUR BUILD! Your creative muscles are probably sore all the time; you exercise them so hard when building! Your cowplant in the middle of everything...oh boy...I was laughing out loud! Keep it coming, bb, I can't get enough!

Prehistory Challenge # 24 Ancient Mayan Ball Pit
Origin ID: PhantasmKiss
Gallery Link: Ancient Ball Pit
Skill level: Intermediate? Expert?
Back story: This is an ancient Mayan/Aztec-inspired stadium, complete with obstacle course, tons of seating, and snack bars. Oh, and did I mention hungry cowplants? Sims must battle for their lives (or play basketball) to see who reigns champion and who becomes plant food!
Story and playtest here. Crazy-plum rules here.
