I'll throw this out there, since it's been three days with no entries...

I would love to enter, but I mainly play and build in Sims 2. I have lots that I could enter on that side of the game, but I don't have anything for Sims 3. Perhaps if you expanded the contest to include both games, you could get some entries. I'm not seeing anything in the contest itself at the moment that would exclude TS2 players.

ETA: I see the part about building to the Sims' traits. I still don't see a reason why TS2 couldn't participate, knowing the traits to keep in mind.

Checking IN

Alright i'll do that

Sorry, apparently I'm a keener.

When you say "designed yourself", are you meaning floor plan and all?

Yes floor plan and all with a picture of a room inside the house

I would love to enter this competition but I am on holiday from 30 June to 14 July, without access to my computer. Is it worth me submitting an application entry? I am a sims 2 builder.

Thanks

Unfortunately it is a Sims 3 only competition. May I be a judge? I don't need to have TS3 installed to judge for TS3

Actually, it is both. Lovelydia as graciously accepted that both games can be used to enter. The rules are set in such a way that neither game should have advantage over the other. Even with the traits system, you're not actually putting a sim in the house, you will just need to be mindful of whether they are athletic, love the outdoors, etc, etc and imagination goes a long way in creation.

So, both The Sims 2 and The Sim 3 players, come on down!!!

Hmmm...give me a day to think about it!!

The application itself is very chalenging

Could I please be a judge, I've sent you a message

I would like to join! I love building and decorating and this would be a great way to strengthen my skills!

I'll probably enter but how do u post pictures on a quick reply? thx!

Don't "quick reply" but "go advanced". There you need to copy paste the link that a picture hosting website has given you.

I'd love to enter because I love designing/decorating all types homes and friendly competition is a great way to improve and push myself to do better!

Why I would like to enter:

I can build, no problem. I have extensive knowledge of all the tools, how to exploit them, how they work, and more. However, by the time I finish on the house itself, I leave it to sit idle for months at a time because I -hate- furnishing with a passion. Hopefully a little bit of competition can change that!



(That's really about as far as i get before giving up :P)

I'm sorry if this question is silly, I reread a few times to make sure but I couldn't tell. When you mean CC's are aloud do you mean only use your own CC's or are using other CC's from this site okay. And if they are aloud from other people on the site do we have to point out what and who's stuff was used?

Edit: Sorry Realized I had another question after I posted, Anyway would we use the world editor or the main game for this?

@ Auradria, Using other people's custom content is allowed. I think you might have to point out whose stuff was used if the creator wants that. They usually say whether you can use it as you wish or if they want credit.

Why I want to enter:
I am up for a chalenge and I would like to improve my building and designing skills

Let me know if you are still looking for judges...

If the judges positions are still open,I would love to be one.

Below is a example of one of the houses I made...

I want to join because I love designing and making houses and I'd like to do it for a purpose and not just for fun for once
