I tried to make it as vague as possible... but you guys will never figure out that I want to build modern homes!

...Still too difficult?  ::)

I think I've guessed now. ;)

Good to hear.  ;D

Oh yeah, Chuckles, the island is great! I loved the pun at the beginning. -chuckles- (Hah, did you get my joke?  :o)

Hey guys I'm taking an extended hiatus... again. I'm out of ideas to build houses and I don't have as much fun designing homes like I used to; it feels more like a chore. So that's where I'll be, I will probably be back sometime. :P

I wouldn't put myself in the same category as the super talented builders that have been sharing their work in this thread, but time and inspiration are what have been holding me back from entering many of the building competitions.

I can't do much about the time issue, since family and work come first.  The tougher issue for me is that I rarely am creative enough to build something without the benefit of a houseplan for inspiration (I'm better at editing than at creating, and even that process is painfully slow for me since I am so particular about the details.)  I just yesterday found one that gave me what I think is a good idea for the current competition.

One thing that I would like to put out there for consideration is whether it would be possible extend the build window from 2 weeks to 3-4 weeks.  It has been a godsend, for me at least, that the current competition was extended.  Hopefully an extra week or two will encourage slow builders to participate without causing quicker builders to lose interest.  Just a thought.  :)

How much of a pain would it be to run more than one contest at a time?  Probably way too much work but I was thinking more people might enter if there were overlapping ones.  Like, Metro usually has two things running, one really tough long contest and one easier shorter contest.  I usually can chime in one or the other of them, sometimes both.

For me it depends on the theme as well as whether or not I'm involved in something else, like Metro's challenges for instance.  I've been planning on trying a new dynasty or legacy, or even a deca-dynasty, (although that one is really hard for me to understand), and if I'm involved in one of his harder challenges I probably would be less likely to do a building contest.  Theme also matters to me.  I'm hopeless when it comes to modern, although I really appreciate and love modern builds, but I'd probably give it a shot.  I'd like to do a fantasy house although I think Agneza would have that competition locked up!  She's terrific.  I also like larger builds with unlimited funds and contrariwise, tiny builds on very small lots, (10x10).
What?  Grannies can't play games?
I speak perfect Nooblik, (and some Simlish)!

I am actually working on my Santa house lol, but I am just delaying and delaying it for some reason. I built the outside but cannot bring myself to finish the furnishing hah. I think some themes might be limited though, like what Joria mentioned about fantasy houses. With no store content for instance, it would be difficult to create that fantasy look. I understand of course this is for fairness, I myself do not buy store content so I like the rule lol. But I can imagine it makes it difficult for some to achieve the theme they want and thus they do not enter.

Kiko - you are so talented, like many on this forum. It's so nice to see how every day you ALL are better and better.  I'm not so good, I learn every day from all of you - thanks for this. ;D

I'm not so good

I respectfully disagree - you are quite a phenomenal builder Agneza!  Your fantasy houses in particular are gems and I love the modern house you just shared.  I can't wait to see interior - I'm sure it is going to be another work of art!

chuckles 82-  The island is great!  :) May I ask for a link...

Agneza, the link to my building thread is already there, and the link to the sims 3 exchange is right below the title. Here it is again though :) I have included more info in my building thread, so that is why I linked it there first.

Chuckles - thanks a lot! It's so nice of you  :D
Katluvr - thanks for compliments, I appreciate it, especially when it comes from someone that is such a talented builder. I'm trying to improve my skill and I'm still learning every day. I'm glad You like my modern house. I want to try every style because You all inspire me  :D

That is definitely one of the pluses of beig part of such a great community: The inspiration! I know at some point I really want to build a fantasy style house, though I don't think I could improve on what you've already done, and I don't know if I've got the creativity to come up with something new. Modern is my niche. And small. I can't do massive big houses - which is why I haven't participated in the last couple of building challenges.

Yes they really should have smaller buildings in the building contest - it's more challenging for starters.
