So I seem to have gotten sick, and I haven't managed to finish the round 3 entry, and likely won't before deadline since it's less than an hour from now and I don't feel up to furnishing and CASTing yet =/ I'll probably keep trying to do lots for practice but I imagine I am no longer much of a real contestant.

Don't worry, according to the countdown, still 22 hours to go. Unless I'm wrong and, well, in that case I'm screwed too^^.

Looking forward to see your upload

15 hours to go, folks! I look forward to having the last few entries waiting for me when I get home from work tonight!

I got back ahead of schedule, thanks to the camping trip getting rained out. Family decided that 24 hours of solid raid was more than enough and we packed up two days early. xD And that means my Round 3 entry is actually done on time! Huzzah! So, to cut to the chase, here it is:

A decently-sized family home, this house contains three and a half bathrooms and two bedrooms. It has a small covered patio in the back that houses an outdoor eating area. It also has a large living and dining area. The house is decorated in a rustic fashion, to better bring out the style of an older family home.

Note that the basement was PURPOSELY left unfinished. =p Most family homes, at least where I live, have majorly under-construction basements. And as for my CC...

Living Room

As usual, struggling with the deadline and even if I don't consider it done, I need to post it. I'd need 48h a day^^.

So the story here is that I got excited with seasons, and thought how cool would be a log cabin, with the snow and everything. Changed it a bit, to make it a bit more comfy and more like a resort. Winter is coming and I'll be ready

Round 3
 

The DeForest family absolutely refused to stop leaving their laundry all over the place for the longest time. Despite their efforts for thwart me I finally got some nice pictures of my round 3 lot, with only 8 hours to spare. Anyway, I decided to make a large family home. I wanted it to be the sort of place that would be nice to grow up in. It has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a finished basement, laundry room, work out room, and carport.

Marsoot Tree creche
 

This is a rare invitation into the Marsoot Tree Creche.



The marooned aliens aren't often invited in to the Lunar Lakes creches because the small chits have to take care not to receive too much sun until they drink deeply enough of the juice of the mother tree. Their faint blue skins must deepen to darkest blue before they can experience the broad daylight for any length of time.



The Marsoot Tree Creche is typical of a lunar lakes home. The creche level is below the main ground level so the chits can't wander too far off, being unable to climb. The primary level is the artist level, with sitting areas and food prep. Immature chits are allowed here once they learn to climb. The upper canopy is the adult level and the roof is the experimental learning station. Chits may only access the roof level once they become teenagers.

Enjoy your rare look into a Lunar Lakes creche.

Round 3: Enchanted Elegance
 

Looks like I'd misread the counter and had time after all. Yay! This entry sadly is a bit rushed as is the post, since about to fall asleep again.


A 2 Bedroom, 2.5 Bathroom home built in Avalon, it is enchanting and elegant.

Where are we going with this? I see no announcement of round either being closed, or extended.

Also, can we have the round 4 foundation soon?

^ It closed while I was asleep! Cool your jets ;D

Round 3 Over! Next foundation will be up within 24 hours!
(Extensions still in effect for those who asked!)

Announcement For Foundation #4

Alright, I want to clarify a few things about this foundation (considering this is the last round unless there is demand for a fifth and final round.) So, what I want you to do is look at the lot in game, get a feel for it, then come back, open the spoiler box, and prepare yourself mentally.

Ohgod. Why must you make me go look up tutorials? D=D=D= I'm going to be spending all week on this, and I have a huge party to get ready for. >< Oh well. Sims before boyfriend's little sister. xD This should be fun, at least. And it's definitely been a great learning experience! =D I'm kinda hoping there's a fifth round, though. I have a question, though. Would altering the shape of that cfe'd area count as 'foundation editing'? Since it's a pretty wonky shape, and I was hoping I could make it into something more... normal. xD

If you need to use the foundation tool to change it, you are breaking a rule. If you have to use the wall or fence tool to change it, you are fine, if that is what you are getting at

Excellent! =D I'm making it smaller so it's a kinda oval-ish shape. xD

I personally demand a fifth and final round.

All this time I've been thinking.. 'Ok, they throw this CFE all over the place. What the heck does that mean?!?"

The lightbulb finally went off a second or so ago.. Duh! ConstrainFloorElevation false!" Piece of Cake!

I'd love a fifth round if everybody else is up for it.

I kind of hate CFE, but I've been getting better at it.

If there was to be a fifth round, I wouldn't be able to take part as I'm going away from 26th Aug - 8th Sep and won't have any access to the game.
Good timing for the end of this round, actually. I thought it might be cutting it close, but the round will end 12 hours after I leave, so I should be right. xD

This round sounds both scary and exciting. Can't wait to see what everyone can come up with!

I vote for a 5th round. : ) Just to tie us over until Supernatural comes out (That week is going to be the toughest week of my life).

So, I understand about the foundation tool, but am curious to know if we can use the whole or partial wood flooring area for our split level or do we have to stick to the angled shape that comes with the original foundation challenge #4?

*even though I am not "officially" a contestant, I would enjoy a 5th round, if you are up to it!

Awesome job with Round 3, everybody!

Round 4 looks like a ̶s̶t̶i̶n̶k̶e̶r̶ fun challenge!
Good luck all! I'm anxious to see what you build!

I'm not quite sure I fully understand what you're asking?

You can delete the floor tiles (as well as the walls), it's not altering the foundation
