Maybe for one of the Contests we could be divided into teams of 2 or 3 and each person has a different role in the build. Say Builder 1 has to make the Shell, Builder 2 does the interior and Builder 3 completes the Landscaping and Exterior.
Of course there would be the problem of enough people entering or what EPs and SPs people have.
That is an interesting idea, Gogo. A team type of challenge could be a cool idea, although it may be similar to the
Let's Build a House.
How about extending the content to also include community lots (e.g. parks, dive bars etc) every once in a while?
You can count on it, it was on our
to-do-list.
Two suggestions.
Taking inspiration from another thread, a house with as few walls as possible. Maybe give a maximum number? The idea being that it's only us that like the beautiful abodes; the sims don't really notice if they have walls or not for most things.
Another contest I saw once involved the contest mod making a foundation. That was it. The contestants had to use that foundation and everything had to go on it, nothing off the foundation. Otherwise they could use their creativity.
Another two cool concepts. This could also be similar to a Refurbishment Contest, I've seen those where you can change everything but the exterior wall shape or something.
Maybe a tomb building contest?
And also I like te building contests to be smaller houses cause I won't even consider entering if its bigger cause I just don't have the time.
That would be a very complex contest, considering I don't know how to do all the links and triggery things to make Tombs, Lol.
Thanks for all of the other Contest Ideas. I'm keeping a list of them on my computer.
Fez, Those were how the last Contests were presented (I had to do a hand gesture then as if presenting something... I must be having a weird day...).
I also want to thank everyone for the interest in the Contests and I do hope you all take part in the Contests next year!
Also does anyone have any feedback on the length available for Contest building. I admit that 2 weeks is not very long, I've found that out lately. I'm not going to give a month for 1 contest though because that is excessive and will leave people waiting. I think it was Katluvr who mentioned about two contests at a Time? One harder that lasts longer and one that was easier but shorter? It might be a good solution to time lengths.
Another question, do you all think a week for voting is too long? I can see the results all the time and after the first few days the winner is ahead and the votes don't increase much. Would three days or something be enough for voting?
Eek, Long post, my apologies, just so much creative feedback and ideas here.
Thank you again!
