You must read the Rules and Instructions Thread first, if you haven't already.

Building Contest 2012: 18 - Fairy Forest

Your Task:
Fairies are magical creatures, they have links to nature and it's magic. Some of the Fairies have decided they want to get back closer to their natural roots, although having had a taste of all the modern technologies they don't quite want to leave it all behind. So they would like a community area for all the Fairies to come together to remind themselves of their true nature. A forested area would be perfect, with a magical fairy touch of course!

Specifications:

• Lot Type: Community
• Number of Bed Spaces: N/A
• Budget: $50,000
• Lot Size: Any.
• Other Specifications:
  • Trees, Flowers and Shrubs
  • Fun Activities

Additional Information:
If you do not own The Sims 3 Supernatural you may still enter, you won't be able to have actual Fairies but can make a Park that is a suitable theme.

This lot is fun for fairies of all ages!  Whether it's a couple, a teen, a single fairie, or even a child or toddler they'll have fun with this!  Fairy houses are placesd throughout the lot for when your fairy is hungry or tired, and even a private lovers hill for couples, with a fairy house nearby when the "other" nature calls.
Lets take a look!







I can't do it from top view because the trees and flowers will look bad.  The tree's will look like a two year old drew them and the flowers won't show up.  I think it has something to do with my graphics settings.

P.s yes, I know, the most detail is probably in the bathroom.

Description:

If you see a fairy ring
In a field of grass,
Very lightly step around,
Tiptoe as you pass;

Last night fairies frolicked there,
And they're sleeping somewhere near.

If you see a tiny fay
Lying fast asleep,
Shut your eyes and run away,
Do not stay or peep;

And be sure you never tell,
Or you'll break a fairy spell.

--William Shakespeare

A place to lose yourself chasing butterflies & bees.

Neashaleigh's Comment:

"Thanks to all who voted for my creation, and congratulations on the other winners. It was great to see so many people entering and it was tough to choose 3 of my favourites. I really enjoyed making this build. It was a lot of fun. I've always loved gardens and parks and feel very inspired to create those types of builds. Thanks to all!"

Gogowars329's Comment:

"I'd first like to thank everyone who voted for me and to samoht and Lilygirl for putting time into creating these great contests. I love entering in them whenever I have some time. I'd also like to congratulate everyone who entered and to Chuckles, Neasaleigh and Decima for winning.

When I saw the contest I immediately knew I had to enter. Fairies (oddly enough) were pretty much the only Supernatural I had been playing at the time. When I was building, I just went with whatever I thought of but now that I look back, I probably should've added a butterfly spawner. "

Decima's Comment:

"Everyone's was so good I'm not surprised there was a tie! Thank you everyone who took part and everyone who voted. Decima"

Chuckles_82's Comment:

"Thankyou to everyone who voted for me, and congratulations to the other winners as well. When I posted my fairy forest I was confident that I had a winner, but then other entries flooded in that were just as good, so a four-way tie was very fitting! As a child I read many, many fairy stories, so when I saw the contest pop up, ideas flooded into my head, and I simply had to participate, even though I haven't entered the building contest all year. I think I'd have to say thankyou to Enid Blyton for all the wonderful imagery, and for giving me such a beautiful fairy world as a child. The main thing I was happy with was that I have really improved my landscaping - especially the terrain painting."

This Thread is now open for comments! I want to say a big thank you to everyone who took part, it was so great to see so many people taking part and I hope you all take part again in future contests! I hope everyone enjoyed this contest! 

[ladybug53]

Congratulations Gogowars, Chuckles_82, Decima and Neashaleigh !  I'm really not surprised at all that we had a tie like this. I had the hardest time voting for only three. Everyone's entry was just amazing. This was a fun contest, I really enjoyed doing it. I really don't know what I would do with my free time without this contest. They are always challenging and so much fun.  Looking forward to the next one.

I'm always open for comments. This helps me improve on my weak points.
