I would assume the mirror doesn't count as it actually serves a purpose being able to use it to skill with and change a Sims' appearance. Not really a decorative item in that sense.

I would agree, just asking because it's in the deco sort in the catelog, though now I'm wondering if it counts towards the skill objects, lol

I didn't think, sorry. I should have said earlier.

ReyaD, could we please get some clarification as to whether or not the mirror counts as one of the skilling objects?

Of course, Menace. The mirror is NOT counted as a deco item, but thanks to the good points you guys all made, it WILL be counted as a skilling object. : )

Just as an update, one judge is having a busy week and doesn't have all the scores done yet. But they'll be in very soon and then I'll have the scores up. Sorry for the wait.

I originally had the same thing happening in my room as well. I always set my lights to flame, unless it really drastically changes the color scheme of the room.

There is a way around that, by the way, using some dim BuyDebug lights, but I don't like to do that, seems to defeat the purpose most of the time.

Eep. Thought I'd be done early for once, but just did a quick recount of my deco objects! Are rugs counted as one like curtains or are they individual? (I have11 deco if individual, 9 if not :S)

I would personally count rugs as one, just because it's kind of hard to distinguish between them unless you're really paying attention. Same reason I count curtains as only one.

I'm not sure if I'm going to make this round in time. I went to the computer repair store that has my laptop at the moment today and they still haven't found a replacement fan for it yet!
I really don't want to miss out, but if I do you at least know why now.

I usually color the lights to make it appear warmer. It colors the ceiling too without me having to actually color it. If I cast the cailing I always end up with white floating tiles I can't get rid of.

Making a new post for my entry again.

If you miss this round, Menace, don't worry about it. You're more than welcome to return for the final round if your computer is back and running by then.

Volvenom, I'll be adding your entry to the chart in a few minutes. Just finishing up the layout for the round 3 scores.

Yay, scores! Sorry for the delay everyone, it was my fault - I was the busy-with-life judge who didn't get them in quickly! Apologies for that, it shouldn't happen again! And kudos for Reya to getting them posted even though she is/was ill! :-D

Now I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's Round 4 entries.... :-) Reya, don't forget to add Amalgam81's Round 4 entry to the table in your original post :-)

I like my ancestors are fighters till death no matter what the odds are. That said I will be confident to continue to place based on my skill set. I am glad to see I am at least appealing to some. It means that I am not as bad I thought initially. Still, I am seeing that I can still improve my designing skills but such can only take time and experience and I am honestly confident that's not happening during this contest.

Anyway, here is my entry into Round Four. I am going with a light natural wood as a base with a little black, gold and white here and there. I suppose this is somewhat of a post modern look. This is probably the longest time I have ever spent on a study.



Usually this room receives minimal attention or even no attention at all. So I did the best I could do with this room. The diagonal touch was interesting to say the least but I think I managed to overcome that little obstacle. Trying to incorporate an accent wall while not choosing one that wouldn't be annoying was probably the hardest for me.

And finally I have incorporated at least 10 deco items:

2 Trees
1 Picture
1 Clock
1 Tissue Box
1 Yellow Flower in Vase (Reqd)
1 Stack of Magazines
1 Standing Mirror (Reqd)
1 Desktop Pen, Pad and Holder
1 Corkboard
1 World Globe (Reqd)

All other pre-set items are also still in the room though I did a lil cast work to help knock down the "ugliness factor" especially of the bookshelf. Its a tough sale with that one regardless. Anyway enjoy. I am certain their will be plenty others who will show their overwhelming superiority in upcoming submissions.

I love how you used an arch for the entry to this room! Nice thinking outside the box!

[QUOTE=sharill63]I love how you used an arch for the entry to this room! Nice thinking outside the box! [/QUOTE

Lasira: Why thank you very much! To be honest, the arch I selected by pure fancy. It wasn't till I get ready to take the picture did I realize how much I liked the initial idea. Still, I think my creativity shines brightest in my writing. My designing work has a little ways to go before I will be confident enough to shameless brag about it. So no worries with me getting the big head anytime soon.

Round 4 - The Study

Hopefully, this is an improvement and shows that I am taking the feedback seriously. Either way, I personally love how this room turned out!

One overhead shot with budget and five "in game" shots.

What? What entry by Amalgam? I already put that one in... >_> (Or at least I will in a few minutes)

To confirm, these are the other entries I'm posting to the chart as well: Sionelle, sharill and Laserai. Did I miss anyone?

Hehe. Nope, don't think so. And you spotted Sionelle's entry, which I'd missed :-D Apologies if I make no sense. It's 5:30am here, I should probably go to bed....

*Yawns vaguely*

Laserai: I think you did good there. It seems to me like your colors don't crash. Good work

I promise I didn't copy your arch idea Laserai. xD I didn't see yours was similar until just now.

Well anyways. Here's mine. :3
I did a kind of "beachy" type of theme.

Adding your entry to the chart, Stardust.

I have the next three days off (hopefully it stays like that) so I'll be working on my entry then. Haven't had time to even look at the room yet.

Here's my entry. At first I wasn't really feeling the Study theme, but I think I came up with something that'll impress the judges. It's a little more subdued and basic than my last few entries.
