Default Build That House! Cycle 2 [Finished]
Welcome to Build that House Cycle 2, the design and building contest that tests your skills as a Sims House builder!
If you missed the first cycle, heres what the deal is: Build that House is a building contest with a twist… you must build from a set of real floor plans that I will provide you with. As the rounds progress, the plans will become more intricate (I will try to keep them within the boundaries of sims building and there will be a bit of leeway given.) Are you up for the challenge?


Rules

1 - Just one entry per person, please.
2 – Though this probably won’t be a very newbie friendly contest anyone may enter, whether you have been here 3 hours or 3 years.
3 - You are -required- to use the floorplan provided. It is the point of the contest, and if you don't, you will be immeadiately disqualified.
4 - There is no budget, go crazy.
5 - All forum rules apply. Always.
6 - If you have some sort of issue please pm me
7 - Be polite and nice to people, please. If you don't, I shall kick you out [to put it bluntly].
8 - No asking "Where'd you get that?!" See rule 5.
9 - Don’t clutter up the thread with chatter, please.
10 – Have Fun!

Rounds

Application Round (Round One): March 20-27
Round Two: March 29-April 4
Round Three: April 6-11
Round Four: April 13-19

There will be NO extensions... I've done these in the past and they do not work so please please please don't ask.

Besides just building the house from the floor plans, you will also be required to decorate the outside (landscaping, pools, decks etc) and to provide plumbing and appliances for the inside (basically the things that you would find in a new house).

Application Round

Here is your floor plan and a picture of the house. The pictures that I am looking for are: one aerial of each floor (this house only has one floor so only one this round), a picture of the front of the house and TWO (yes TWO) free shots.




Looking forward to you joining!

Hey, great contest =) I have a question: Is it required to make the outside look like the picture as well? I'm thinking of the landscaping?
#5 Old 22nd Mar 2008 at 4:14 AM

Edit: Opps you just posted it. App will be in tomorrow if game works.

Lol worst weekend ever for a contest to start. Since theres no judging for the app round, the app round is through till the first day of round one so whenever you can get it in is great!

Sawcarn: Landscape how you want, it doesn't have to look how they landscaped it, just the house has to look like it

can you add effects to the pictures (eg. boarders, lighting) ?
#9 Old 24th Mar 2008 at 12:30 AM
I think thats okay Infectious. I was in the last season(I think, plus Im gonna enter this one) and I always sharpened and added borders to my pics. Maybe like an obvious lens flare would be too much.

Borders and sharpening are ok, I would prefer overphotoshopping to be left out, things like making a sun or stuff like that... And preferably no text in the pictures :D

Its ok if you've already done it, since this round isn't judged (you'll get comments but no scores) but for future rounds :D

I'm guessing we can use CC or do we have to use what's ingame? I've never tried a contest before and thought I'd try this one and wanted to be sure.

I hope we get some judges. Sorry for the crappy quality, I didnt realise I hadn't adjusted the settings since installing freetime until it was too late. It'll be much better next time!

I went for a very rustic mexican feel for the design of the house and stuck really closely to the floor plans though I underestimated the lot size-I needed a little more space. Overall I think it turned out really well.
