August Contest BETA - They Live Among Us

just_jasper — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 11:52:00 GMT

Hi there guys! You may have seen mention of contests coming soon, and here they are! This is for august, but I've started it early to give a bit of a heads up. There will be 2 running, as test contests really to gauge participation and logistics (whether there should be a pic limit, etc). It is open to TS2 and TS3. The themes, therefore, is pretty simple this time: aliens!

Contest One: Extra Terrestrial Census

Brief: create an alien sim.

Parameters: In this contest, your sim can be any age/gender. You may even, if you so wish it, make an alien pet!

Contest Two: Off-World Base

Brief: create a small residence for one or two aliens.

Parameters: In this contest, what we are interested in in your building talent. Therefore, the only furnishing that is permitted is kitchen/bath features, structural features - basically anything that wouldn't be removed if you stripped out the house of all décor. You can landscape outside, but again, no "decoration" - your entry should look like a home that is ready for aliens to move in and make it their own.

Entering:

1. Complete your entry.
2. Take pictures.
3. Post them in a new entry to the community, and tag them with 'contest: august 10' and your username ('poster: ____').
4. There will be a poll to decide winners at the end of the month.

CLOSING DATE: Monday 30th August

Rules:

1. One entry per contest, per person (for now).
2. Follow the simgenix rules regarding pictures, cuts and ratings.
3. Pictures for contests should not be overly edited (basically if you get into frankensim territory, you've gone too far).
4. Use as much or as little CC as you want.
5. You can enter with TS2 or TS3, but the one-entry rule stands.

Questions? Comments? Ask below :)

Monthly Challenge: July 2010

elecy — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 23:44:29 GMT

Tea Time - Create a photoshoot with tea as the focal point. It can be of the creation process, the drinking process, whatever you wish. It can be any genre, time period or world. Any version of Sims.

Rules and Whatnot
1. Challenge Dates: 1-30 July 2010.
2. Remember to include warnings. If you want to post something rated R, feel free to do so, but please f-lock the entry.
3. Please tag and entries with - challenge: June10 and your username tag (if you don’t have one, I will add one for you ASAP).
4. Teaser pics are fine as long as they are no wider than 450px.
5. Good luck and have fun!

Remember, there is always time to get in something for last month's challenge. Just tag accordingly, dears.

New Mod, Contests, What?

just_jasper — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 11:45:00 GMT

Hello everyone, new mod here!

I'm sure many of you who saw goodbye_sun's announcement, are thinking "contests? What now?" Don't panic! It's going to be fun!

How the contests are going to work:
- They will be one round.
- There will be no panel of judges or scores.
- Winners will be decided by anonymous polls, voted for by you!
- The brief will be set out, you'll post your entry here and/or to your own journal and link it in the contest thread, after X number of entries or X amount of time, the poll will be set up.
- There will be two (possibly 3) contests going at once, of different types (e.g. a decorating contest and a sim-makeover contest).
- You can enter all contests, one entry per contest.

They're intended to be fun and low-pressure. I will, soon, add some basic contest rules to the group, and get the first contest underway.

No other feature of Simgenix is affected by this - continue posting pictures etc!

I'm happy to answer any questions pertaining to contests, or suggestions for such. Also, if anyone has any objection to me participating also (I figured with community voting, it wouldn't be a problem) let me know. :)

Tachibana House

goodbye_sun — Thu, 20 May 2010 14:42:29 GMT

Tachibana House is a lone survivor in what began as a small fishing village and gradually became dense urban sprawl. Generations of owners stoically hung on to their home while the city grew and began to decay around them.

Unashamedly inspired by this image.

Mask Party Pt. 1: Revenge is Sweet. So Sweet.

Speechless by Lady Gaga

Hi2, it's been such a long time I didn't check this community.
I am doing some pix, and I think I will need some weapon, such knife, or something sharp
So I will be so glad if someone wants to share sites where I can find those items.
Anyone. Any help I will respect it so much. THX :)

Euphoria Court

elecy — Sun, 02 May 2010 19:57:11 GMT

new mod

goodbye_sun — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:31:48 GMT

*dusts off* I do really have to apologise to everyone here - its been far too long since I have managed to put in the effort that this community really deserves. I would really love to see simgenix flourish again, I really do miss all the beautiful pictures that everyone would share, so rather than letting this community die, I thought it best to find someone who could actually look after it much better than I have been able to. So it is with much pleasure I get to announce that simgenix has a new mod, the lovely elecy. I hope you will give her a very warm welcome, and I am very much looking forward to seeing all the great images you are all inspired to create!

Santa Baby

similise — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 18:46:53 GMT

Santa baby, just slip a sable under the tree, for me
Been an awful good girl

Think of all the fun I've missed,
Think of all the fellows that I haven't kissed

Next year I could be just as good
If you check off my Christmas list

Santa baby, I want a yacht and really that's not a lot
Been an angel all year

Santa honey, one little thing I really need, the deed
To a platinum mine

Santa cutie, and fill my stocking with a duplex and cheques,
Sign your x on the line

Come and trim my Christmas tree,
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's

Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring,
I don't mean on the phone

Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry, tonight.
