I'd love to join, but I don't have Bon Voyage, so for the first round could I make a pretend beach or something and it wouldn't effect my score? Thanks.

Of course. You wouldn't be docked any points for not having the beach from the expansion pack. As long as your scene looks like a beach, it's cool. .

If I may, monstersteph, there are a bunch of very nice beachy ground covers at both Mod and Parsimonious. They can help give the appeareance of a beach when there is none.

And, if you choose a lot that is on the edge of the water your shots can still look almost like a real beach, with a water to sky background even if you don't actually get to utilize the water's true edge.

Alright, thank you guys
I'll download those ground covers, thank you.

I'll post my app in a little bit.

Awesome applications so far! Deatherella, it'd be better to re-take the picture so the icon isn't in the corner of the screen.

Count me in if you don't bother spelling mistakes and a quite bad english...^^
I'm german but if you don't have a Problem with this i'll try my best! I promise.

Gee, I haven't been in a contest out here in SO long! And I know TRIriana you have been in a few of mine. I just uninstalled my sims 3 and reinstalled my sims 2. I wasn't too happy with sims 3. So I might join this one. I haven't shopped for much CC as yet, but going to try and do that tonight. Not sure the size of the pictures if I do join. Many things have changed out here. I'm feeling a bit lost When do apps close? And is there much story telling in the contest? Let me see what I can do.

Pai.kea you won't be judged on your grammar or spelling errors. I look forward to your appl!

Michele D, it'll be awesome to have you. :-D The applications don't close until the 4th of November, and storytelling isn't the main component in this one.

Awww so sweet TRIriana Not sure what the picture sizing is out here now. Some one please tell me? Ok, let me try and whip up a sim and grab some CC. I will do this after work or tomorrow. Great entries so far everyone

EDIT: Never mind, I found it.... 650x550

Oh, thanks! That sounds good to my ears, believe me... But... I have another stupid questions. It says "Simposing will not be allowed. 'Shopping poses is, as long as it uses only the game." in the Rules, but cause i'm not english, I don't understand if Poseboxes are aloud or not... Are they? *hopes*

i think so...
i'd love to be in this contest, but idk if i'll have enough time seeing as i'm already running my own...

I hope you get a chance to, Jewa. ^^.

Pai.kea, yes poseboxes are allowed. .

Oh, okay, cool...^^ Sorry for the stupid question, I just didn't knew what was ment with Simposing. You'll have my App in about one hour. I've already written the Text, so I just have to take the pictures then i'm finished...

I know you've heard many Biographies before mine, and I'm sure you're expecting the same from me – interesting Stories about the Places where I lived or about interesting Jobs or Relationships, but actually my life wasn't that special. I was born and raised on a Farm in Tennessee, together with two Sisters and three Brothers and I'm the oldest of them. I had to care for them and I never had much room for myself and my Dreams. From Time to Time I thought, that I might be invisible, because no one was interested in me. A Farmer's Life is hard and so was the Life of my Parents, they hadn't much Time for their Children. I was a shy and quiet Kid, maybe that was the reason for my invisibility. And because of that I had just one wish as a teen – I wished to be seen, I wished that People know my Face and that I'm no more invisible. That's why I'm here.

If you really think you have what it takes, then read on and take notes. This is where the work really begins, and the professionalism expected of you has to come into focus. You're going to be working with some of the best photographers and magazines in the business. Later on you might even even get the chance to work alongside a top film star... But that's far in the future.



South Simville has a little talked about beach, and this is where your very first shoot it going to take you. It doesn't sound glamourous, and so it's your job to make it look glamourous. Sea pollution once made this one of the least visited beaches on this side of the country, and in recent years hundreds of millions has been spent on making it fit for habitation again. In order to get people more interested in the grand reopening, photographs are going to be taken of the area. And this is where you come in.

Photographs

(a) One picture of your model relaxing back on the beautiful, clean beach as it is now.
(b) One picture of your model at the grand reopening on the beach. This should be an evening shot.



A new deal has been brokered with Rising Star and Rock! Magazine, and your model has been chosen as the cover for their next Christmas special edition. You're going to be dressed in some of the best clothes the industry can get their needy little hands on, to accurately portray a rock star. Your make-up will also have to be in the appropriate style.

Photographs

(a) One picture of your model, in the necessary get-up on the cover of the magazine. You'll need to have Rock! displated on the front, as well as Christmas Special Edition somewhere on the cover. Imagine what a magazine cover looks like, and go wild with creating your own!


Writing
A little piece on what your model though of both shoots: the lead-up, the aftermath, etc.

Michelle, I'm glad you joined because Noelle is just beautiful! I can't wait to see more of her.

Great start, Wgroome. ^^.
