hey, I'm super sorry I haven't got that app up yet! Later on tonight, if I'm able to start up my sims game, and if my internet doesn't spontaneously stop working, then I hope to have my pics and writing all finished and posting... ..IF not, then probably tomorrow ..

Ok Thank's for showing an interest Clw8 :DHere is what I have decided to do: As the Original Application deadline was Monday, and I think it is near enough impossible to get 10 contestants before then, I will be accepting applications all through Round One. This means that the new Application deadline is Sunday 7th June - Where both Applications and Round 1's need to be submitted. (I will update the main post now) Round one details will still be posted on Monday 1st as planned. I will try and make it so round 1 is not too time constraining, so that people have a chance to hopefully get both app and Round 1 done by the 7th. I really hope this gives people a chance to Join, and I really look forwards to seeing any entries that may appear :D Thanks guys Simsimsims |

I'm a MTS contest virgin, lets see if we can change that. eh. This one has absolutely no custom content. 100% pure EA and there was no fiddling with the boolprops or such nonsense so you can be sure it's 100% playable. 2 bed, 1.5 bath, entry hall, grand hall, kitchen/dining room, living room, sun room, balcony and deck, reading nook, pool, trellis portico. Floors are tile with lots of ethnic rugs strewn about, white stucco on the outside, light terra cotta stucco on the inside. Lots of primary colors, red chaise lounges, blue kitchen stuff, green living room furniture. Upstairs is more muted with purple bedding and distressed green dressers. Overview Shot  Front Shot  Back/Entrance   Night Lights  Can't wait to work on the next one! |

Hey! I was wondering is it possible to add more than just 3 extra shots? Because I can't decide between a few of them

Here it is! Woohoo! A beautiful spanish retreat nestled in a thick forest of palm trees. One bedroom with a balcony overlooking the pool and a large ensuite bathroom upstairs, and the main room (which consists of an entry space, kitchen and dining room), a small toilet with a shower and a pretty two-floor sitting room downstairs. An enclosed porch with terracotta archways and wooden blinds is perfect for sunny days. To the right of the house is a small vegetable patch. I have chosen bright colours for accessories such as blankets, paintings and cushions, with clay sculptures, abit of cast-iron, and rugged wooden furniture for a worn in, comfortable feel which is still stylish. Moroccan and Mexican-inspired objects have been thrown in as well. There are plenty of plants in and out of the house which I feel adds a natural touch. Though there is ALOT of CC and it all looks abit crowded, but I moved in a sim and tested it out and yep, it's actually completely playable (so far!) Hope you guys like it.

I have a question regarding judging (I'm sure I'll understand if I read it 3 or 4 more times) do we judge the apps and the round one entries at the same time?? |

Teardrops Your home is simply stunning! I totally love all the plants you have used, it seems so cosy. Thanks again for Joining Quote:
Yes please Lewjen, I'm sure I confused you all with that message last night Basically App's and round one will both end next sunday (7th) and If you could Judge both at the same time and send both sets of scores to me after the deadline on that day, that would be great - That is of course providing we get 10 Apps before then I will send you and the other Judges a PM a week today For everyone: I will be posting Round one tommorow (Monday) and that will remain open till sunday 7th as well unless some people need an extension which I would try to allow. In the mean time, I hope some more people will become inspired to post an app :p | |

clw8 - application
#42

my application -spanish style- Well, I decided to take a standard US home, and put a spanish type twist on it, kinda. Sort of like a makeover if you will. To give this house more of a spanish appearence, I used golden colored stucco, orangey tiled roof, a flat, see-thru front awning which has mulitiple arches, I bricked a majority of the front, and used bright, cheerful colors thru-out.  Of course, I guess that it still looks more Americanized than Spanish, but . . . I suppose it's the thought, right This home has two bedrooms, four bathrooms, livingroom, formal dining room, kitchen, one car garage, and a fenced in patio / pool area. Not to mention the appealing landscaped yard, which has a short decor border fence around the perimeter, and plenty of yard space to play (swing already up).  I really like the pool / patio area and the swing area. The space is quite appealing, and the privacy is a thumbs up in my book!  The livingroom continues the theme of the entire house, and incorporates the same colors you'll find through out: yellows, greens, and tans. This is a shot of the study area of the room.  Don't get too dressed up for this formal dining room! Though it is formal, it is still just as laid back as the rest of the home. With pops of color here and there, eating a meal in this room will surely bring your mood up!  Well, I hope that you liked my sorta more american home. I try - I try clw8 |

Wow Clw8, it certainly was worth waiting for. Thanks for entering I think the plates on the wall are a perfect touch, and I so want to be in that pool right now. That makes 4 applications now, only 6 to go

Thanks.... I hope that now since school is like over, (well officially wednesday, but i"m finished going for the year, lol), That I'll have time to better research the styles you choose for the rounds....I think with more time and effort, I could've done better. But, this whole previous week has been stressful, (for lots of ppl apparently), so that would possibly influence my entry Can't wait till the First Round starts.Oh, and the person who posted before me: teardrops, WOW is all I can say about your home. I wish I had all your CC and your skills in decor and landscaping! Everyone has done good so far, and I hope that you get your 6 remaining contestants simsimsims. It seems that with the switch of sites, the contest area has fallen into the darkened corner. I think that if we were still over at s2c, that you'd have oodles of contestants already. |

I agree with that statement completely. I think a lot of the people who were very active on the community have gone elsewhere since this merge thing went down because normally the contests would be filling up. Doesnt give me much hope for the 2nd Cycle of Architect Community! Come on people and join!

Round 1 sounds great! My daggon' printer ran outa ink, so I had to just write all the info above... lol. I always like to have a hard copy lying in front of me. Anywho, I'm off to download chinese things, b/c I really want to excell in this round. Oh, and is it ok to make collages, so that we can fit more than one room/feature in each picture?

sorry you had to write it all out clw8, I prefer having hard copies of Round Info's too when I enter contests, since I dont like playing in window mode.Collages are fine I think they are a perfect way of getting lots of features across effectively.If anyone is reading this, and would like to enter the contest please click here for the Application round Info.
