If there's anything I can do to help, Heather, I'm more than happy to! I know these challenges can be a little daunting to keep up with but it's a huge reason I love this forum so much! It feels so alive and we can have great fun with it!

This is going to sound a little ditsy, but we can use binned homes that came with the game, right? I'm agonizing over my entry and I was wondering if that was something we could do.

Yay! I finally shut my brain up enough to submit an entry! I only had to makeover that particular lot three times!

My understanding for the roof is the only modification allowed is the color/pattern, correct?

Oh, I figured since no one said anything about julie's roof change, it wasn't a big deal. I guess I thought pattern meant style. -shrug- I can always catch the next one if i'm disqualified

Sorry if I wasn't clear on the roof thing - the intent was to change only the colour (which falls under "roof patterns" in TS3, but come to think of it maybe that works differently in other games?). However I don't think the structural changes in either Mauricette's or Julie's entries were drastic enough to warrant disqualification, so unless anyone is seriously opposed, I'm willing to let it slide for this round.

Also a reminder that today is the deadline! If anyone needs more time, feel free to request it. :)

To me it looked like Mauricette did drastically alter the external appearance of the house, i.e. changed its footprint. I have seen that house before and it does look pretty bad and cramped. I just tear the whole thing down and rebuild the whole thing. It looked like she added external walls and changed the foundation shape. When I looked at it my first impression was that she changed the whole shape of the house and not just gave it a face lift, it's dramatic plastic surgery.

Okay, so since there are more structural changes than just the roof as Ani-Mei pointed out, I don't think it would ultimately be fair to pit it against the other entries. So Mauricette, you can still claim your TGBO points for participating, your entry just won't be included in the voting this time. Sorry about that - I will try to make the limitations more straightforward next time!

My roof I didnt actually change
when i clicked on the roof to change the colour
the porch thing vanished - so the roof is how i found it just without that triangle porch thing
i would have started over but i spend hours building the pond and bridge - so i wasnt going to start over just because a bit of the roof vanished when i changed the roof tile colour

I didn't add any walls, Ani-Mei. But I did change the foundation in the back. I decreased it. and removed one of the steps to allow for a more streamlined look. It's too bad you just rip it down, it's a unique lot. It has a lot of potential. I just tried to bring that out.

I'll read the rules more carefully next time ^ ^
