Thanks! I never knew you were a big fan of my toddler poses, so now I know you'll love the picture I'm planning to upload, (if gdayars says I can still upload)

TS 2 - Summer Entry:
"Baby" Liza playing with mom, aunt and cousins who don't appear as the focus is centered on the toddler herself.

I intended to redo this Summer picture for more than a week, but the one I did the most got the lowest scores so I decided lo let it be the way it is.
It was indeed the "strech skeleton" cheat on the Spring picture which was with value 1.3 much too big for a 3 year old.

Using poses is something I'm not so fine with but I found out how to get better pictures out of this game, so when I would post previous shots it's a huge difference! Next is to find out how to include the more beautiful shots in the game!

So thank you very much for the oppurtunity to learn more about this!

Game: The Sims 3
Season: Summer



In this picture, two toddlers are jumping into the pool, their mother is also jumping in too, but she's out of the shot (but you can see her splash she made in the corner), their dad is watching them and their sister is sitting by the side of the pool holding the littlest member of the family.

(Sorry for the bad lighting btw)

I think your Spring picture was very cute
(but perhaps a little too heavy on Stretchskeleton - personally I try to avoid using it, but if I have to then 0.8 and 1.2 is usually the furthest I'll go with any of the ages, since anything larger or smaller looks stretched or squashed. I sometimes tend to pose the sim just before using the cheat, and not hit unpause after, because that can avoid some issues with limbs looking weird).

@TheSweetToddler Lovely! I like the way the kids are jumping in with scared delight!

@attuned That's a little kiddo who has eaten sand! Or got sand in the eyes! Reminds me of my daughter who hated getting her feet sandy, and how we had to carry her all the way to the water and wash off her feet. Geez. I had totally forgotten about that until your picture! .D

@hannahsim201999 You forgot to say what game -TS2. Also fierce toddler! I am like okay kid, not going near your sandcastle.

@TheSweetToddler it is fine the only thing not posting for the others means, is that you can't win the overall one

Sorry I didn't get on last night you guys, but my family's crisis situation with one of the members peaked again. I was not having a fun evening :/ Dad gum contest curse anyway! by the time I got home last night I was so exhausted and emotionally drained I couldn't even bear the idea of doing much. I did check in on a couple things but wasn't up to posting. It never seems to fail, you get involved in a contest, and stuff happens!

Real life can't be put on hold! I send you my best, hope the crisis you're dealing with finds a good solution one of these days.

Any updates on the judging?

I am finally back for now. I had to go off site largely last few days due to the family crisis that is ongoing. (it is a suicide watch thing ) so I am going to do as much as I can tonight, as today has been relatively peaceful. I am so sorry guys but I never dreamed when I started the contest that all of this was going to erupt. (and no I wasn't going in staff chat either, so trust me when I say things are serious when I go away that long.) I will update after I get it all together.


Editing to add, I have added all the links, and that the sheets have all been sent off to the judges I don't know if I remembered to post it here, but I did add it to the board last time, that Simmer22 won the Spring Round, so she got the king icon

Congratulations btw!

The pictures all look adorable. I am sorry to say we seem to be missing a few people this round. Round is officially closed Summer winner and overall winner will be announced when the scores are in.

/offers hugs if wanted

Thank you Kestin

Double posting to say, most of the judge's scores are in. I am hoping to have them up by my evening

Things seem to be quietening down on the personal front yay!

Editing to add, I am substituting for one of the judges, as they aren't able to this time.

Triple Post! but here are the scores





























The SUMMER WINNER IS FREYA

Congratulations everyone!

Well done, everyone! :D

Thank you to the judges - and well done, everyone!

(Comment about the bottle - it's actually inspired by a real-life picture, which had another umbrella instead of a straw - and quite frankly I have no idea how it would work in practice, but I thought it was so funny and cute I just had to make one )

Congratulations, that bottle was the star. :D

Thanks gdayars and judges.

Thanks for hosting gdayars!
Thanks to all the judges!

Congrats and thanks to my fellow contestants for the oodles of adorableness!

Do we all get the contest participant achievement now? :o Great work everybody! And thanks to the host and judges for all your efforting for us

Unfortunately there is not a general contest participation sticker (that I am aware of) there are however ones for judging and hosting if you decide to do that.

I will be leaving this up for a few days but after that it will be closed and locked
