As we get nearer and nearer to the height of Winter (or Summer, for all us Southern-Hemisphere-ers), we're often presented with new, or improved, goods. That promotion at work, a new year at school. A few of the staff want to give something back to the forum. :)
We're proud to bring you... this.

A note from the people involved; you may be able to figure out what we're talking about. If you do, please be courteous and don't tell anyone! Keep it top-hush-button-lip!
-
Now you have me VERY intrigued! I love a good 'puzzle'! Whatever it is... THANK YOU! ;D ;D
-
Oh, the suspense!
Can't wait to find out what "This" is. :D
-
I hope you keep returning to this topic. I'm sure you'll enjoy it when it happens - and trying to solve the puzzle we've worked so hard to create. :)
-
It's bookmarked.
Will you be rationing out clues? I keep clicking on the image, hoping it will grow larger so I can get a better lookie, lol.
-
There will be more clues. A few have been dropped already, but nothing major. We'll declassify some of that image, and perhaps it'll be enough for you to construct something out of it?
As for rationing them out... maybe not so much rationing as throwing a bucket of them around and around.
-
O_o intriguing! Can't wait to find out what's in store!

No idea what's going on. I had to work for a short while today, but looking at the picture on the larger, better business monitor isn't helping at all.
-
I wish I didn't know so I could try and see if I can get anything from this puzzle, but unfortunately I can't un-know what i know! I can say that I think this is something people will be really happy about!
Yes I always have to stop by threads like this and brag that I know :P
-
I have no idea what's going on in your picture. Looking forward to finding out!
-
Let me guess it is an online version of I'm a celebrity, get me out of here!
Only you have captured Sim Gurus and will only let them out once they develop new features for the sims franchise.
No? That's a shame, it was promising to be more entertaining than that show returning to Australian tv. lol
-
A few more days?
Another clue?
Let's see what this pic
Does for you.

Hmmmm....I remain clueless despite your clue. :'(

When the picture eventually becomes clear, I probably still won't know what's going on.
-
Agreed lol

I see traffic cones. Does it have something to do with construction?
-
I love a puzzle too! I do see a few images. Am I allowed to say what they are? Don't want to be a spoiler.
-
@Indira yeah I saw the cones too, and what looks almost like a pier...
Edited to add: although they look more like police cones than traffic ones? But that could just be the South African ones lol

So no huge, gaping hole in the ground? *rubs eyes

Please, if you have an inkling at precisely what the news is, keep button-lip. :) Feel free to guess but nobody is going to confirm or deny guesses until the 1st.

Wait? Did you say huge, gaping hole in the ground?!? I KNOW! Carl's forum is going to have a South African themed month and the first week is dedicated to the town of Kimberley! *google Kimberley mining great hole and see what I mean lol*
Edit: saving time Big Hole Mine (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Hole)

@Seabody
The first post made mention of February 1, 2016, so I somehow fixated on the idea that the mystery would be unveiled today.
*Holding breath....
-
:D I actually guessed right. Lol. I wasn't expecting it.

@Indira Are you teasing me!? lol (kidding)
-
@oshizu I kid you not. ;D There's a new thread on the forum.
-
Yep, the news is here. The Building Contests are back. (http://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/forum/index.php/board,100.0.html) @Twinmum @Dellena and I are the Contest Team. I'll unlock is thread to facilitate a little bit of discussion, but it will be relocked at some point.
-
Thank you all three of you for not restricting the building challenges to Sims 4.
-
So how did the picture/clue fit in to it all? *confused*
I'm not really a builder so I probably won't enter, but, it will be really awesim to see what others come up with!

@Magpie2012
The original picture has had layers and layers of different translucent images on top of it. I supposed it was to be unveiled a bit at a time to build up the hype for the new/renewed Building Challenges.
Happy, happy. ;D I think I'll join the building challenges. I tried the dynasty ones, but I lose patience while staying so poor all the time, just failed. Lol. I'm hoping for better luck with this one instead and finish it.
-
@Indira now you see, I'm curious to know what the original image was lol I think I'll need to PM someone and see if I can find out :-D

Hi @Magpie2012 , I believe the original image is the one at the top of the Building Contest #1 - Simple Starter thread.
-
Yep, that's the original image. I went crazy with the effects to disguise it.
-
Lol cool. I just adore the creativity on this forum! Our fearless leaders, mods and members are just so... Awesim!

Na,na,na,na,na,na! I guessed right!! Hee, hee, hee. If you looked closely you could see all kinds of build type things so it really was obvious despite Seabody's good attempt at concealing it. I think the only reason I saw it is because I have such lousy vision everything is a blur and so I could see beyond the disguises.
