Right, sorry this is a bit lacking in fanfare but it just got too late. So no John this week. Maybe I'll add him back later if anybody cares it's not as though my storytelling is being assessed for the contest!

Destination: Hedgehog Wood Park (Holiday park, somewhere in the woods in England)
Venue: "Owl's Hoot Clubhouse". This is sort of a hybrid but I'm going to go with cafe/restaurant. I wanted to do theatre, but I'm not sure my set up counts as being three chairs in a row, and I didn't want to change it because rows aren't natural for this kind of venue. In any case, this is a venue where sims might conceivably go expressly for a meal or a drink as opposed to just going to be entertained, so I think it fits the cafe/bar requirements enough.
CC: I did use CC this time.
Lot: I hope I did it right. I chose the lot size listed as "4x3" rather than "3x4" on the lot choose screen. The front edge of the lot is uppermost in the top-down photos.


Through the sunburst doors we go...

I've been out for the evening and have returned to find some lovely entries, thank you

There are still two entries missing though, but there are 35 mins to deadline!

Want a specific style of house or community building? Why not take a look at my profile and see what I build and then come ask me to make it!

simsfreq, I really like how you did the bar counter in your lot! At first I'd just glanced past it, but then I realized that there weren't any walls involved! Very clever use of overlapping things... I may have to steal that sometime in the future!

@CatherineTCJD I don't recognise the wall coverings in the foyer of the toilet area as game content.

24:08 Round 1 is over!

Any entries now will incur a .5 penalty.

Great entries everyone!

Next round will be up tomorrow.

Thank you all

As it is my birthday I am off out for the day so I will not be posting the next round until later today and it may not even be until tomorrow evening as it depends what time I get back. You will still get two weeks to complete the round.

Wow, amazing lots! I especially love ankoyume's very creative underwater campground (I wish I could go camping in a forest of giant algae, stone pines seem boring in comparison ^^) and celebkiriedhel's market, so colorful and detailed, it's gorgeous =D

RE: wallpaper in restroom foyer:
Dagnabbit! I found it. Apparently, it's from Lifestyles: wall-papereyestripesleft and wall-papereyestripesright
I took my 'hiders' out - and now I have lots of "new" (EA) wallpapers that I'd forgotten about. I thought these were part of those - and came with UNI's college-psychedelic-hideous papers.
Pooh. No bonus then for me. *sigh*

I just realized I am confused about something for round 1. In the first post it is said that

Quote:
You may add interior walls only to shells unless otherwise stated in the round instructions.


but in the round 1 post Karen stated

Quote:
You may add to the structure given


I took that to mean it that I could add outer walls' but then I noticed half of the entires kept the structures the same shape as the initial shell. So was Round 1 a shell where we were supposed to not add outer walls or one that we could and not incur a score penalty?

Uh oh! My social bar is low - that's why I posted today.

You're fine Charmful, there's no penalty for adding to the structure's exterior because she stated that you may add to the structure.

This is a case of "otherwise stated" being in force. There would not have been a need to mention "you can add to the structure" if she didn't imply that you can add to the exterior of it.

I mean that's what I originally figured but second-guessed it after looking through all the entries and saw many did keep the shell's original structure so maybe thought I didn't read it correctly. Thanks for clarification!
