Let's Build It Chat

[Heather]

Definitely have a round planned & scheduled for this October.

[mojot89]

Oh good! I've been on the lookout!

[Heather]

A new round is up! Please note that I am returning to public entries for the next few rounds, so post your entries straight to the thread rather than submitting them to me.

[Heather]

Just a little update: The winner's choice medal for Round 31 has been awarded (Congratulations, Mpart!), and I'm going to put the next round up on the 1st of December.

I have a question.

Let say for this round I build a garden, is it okay to have your sims in the pics enjoying said garden or do you just want shots of the romantic garden?

[Heather]

Preferably just pictures of the build itself, so we can get the best view of everything without sims being distracting or obstructing parts of it.

[jcampbell]

Okay, sounds good. Thanks Heather

[Ani-Mei]

My bonus night shot had my sim in it though...but it's a high angle and far away so you won't really see her unless you're looking.

I don't often play Let's Build It, because frankly, I usually forget, and secondly, I'm not that good at building, let alone decorating, and I have no CC, at the moment, anyway.

But, this one just CRIES out for Gage to put together something. GageNation needs a dating hotspot, after all, and it's his week, again! Yay! Great timing.

I'm not gonna disqualify anyone for sneaking a sim in, I just think this competition works best if having the focus be on the build itself rather than staging a scene (if that makes sense?).

[Ani-Mei]

Well it was just a bonus shot, the other four were of the build itself though. She just chose that spot to go read her book for work, she gets a Beautiful Vista moodlet from sitting out there so she must love it.

[Heather]

I'm thinking after this maybe we should have a round where the goal is to actually stage a scene with some sims. Thoughts, guys?

[DSLady]

I'd love that! I'm not so great at building, but I love doing scenes with Sims - like in the screenshot events and sort of with BNTM!

[Ani-Mei]

I THINK I have some good Sims 3 pose boxes for that. But what would it be? Sims having a St. Patrick's Day party? Easter (is Easter in March or April this year?)

[MichelleCYoung]

How about a parade? Get it? March?

[jcampbell]

Staging a scene would be cool. I had an idea of a scene for a romantic garden and that's why I asked. I didn't want to take the time to do it and it not count, lol.

I still plan to build one though

[Jesslb429]

We've done them before, so I'd be super interested in a round like that! My first ever round of Let's Build It was one of those!

Maybe something spring like or something like the great thaw? Realistically I know spring isn't really a thing til like midmarch at earliest(at least here), but it might be cathartic to show our Sims shedding their coats and enjoying sun! I love winter but it does take a toll.

Just a thought.

[MichelleCYoung]

Are we going to be able to vote on round 32?

[Ani-Mei]

@Michelle:

Heather's been busy but I can set it up for her.

[Heather]

Thanks Ani-Mei! Won't go into detail here, but flu and vision problems got the best of me for a bit.

Would you guys like to have a vote for what the next round should be?
