@Charity As I seem to have won two months, would it be possible to substitute mine for some of the other entries (which I feel were very good indeed). I was lucky enough to be in contest calendars many years ago, so I have already had the privilege. I entered this year to show support for the contest, but never dreamed my pictures would make it! It is extremely likely that many of the voters clicked on my images to win as they were worried I'd send Sim Sample round to crash their parties if they didn't (plus, they are all my chums! ).

So maybe people could click agree or disagree on this post- I think we should have the second place picture for July, Herrbrecht, and the second place picture for November, Pebblerocker (who had slightly more votes than DinaMarBoob's excellent image).

I would feel much better about things if these pics were included, so would like to capitulate my entries to them. They are fabulous!

The other pix are fabulous - but so is the July sparklers one! Maybe keep that one, and do the next up for November? Which would be Pebblerocker's freezing dude with a kite - also a fab entry!
I really like that "Sparkler" picture, it's such a cool shot!

Supporting that kite pic by @Pebblerocker as well. That one to me is not only pretty, but very much Sims

Congratulations, all!

I don't think that's fair. People voted for the pictures they wanted to see win and now we're going to change the pictures to ones that didn't get as many votes (but only one of them)? You can't pick and choose which pictures you think are best after other ones were voted for.

Ah, yes I understand where you're coming from @Charity.

I don't want to be unfair!

One thing I've noticed while checking out the in game calendars is that the seasonal calendar has more days than the 12 month one.

I could use some of the second place pictures for that, presuming noone minds that they weren't winners. At the moment, the 2019 calendar just reuses pictures.

is it the 5 per season calendar type?
Uh oh! My social bar is low - that's why I posted today.

Thank you to everyone who voted for and liked my picture, I appreciate the compliments! I wouldn't want to take away a spot from a legitimate winner, but I'm happy to have my picture used in an extra calendar.

Congrats to everyone who entered and all the lovely pics

Yes. I'd have to double check that I have the right number of pictures.

As soon as I get an answer on the tie for October I can start working on the calendars.

Well, the mods seem to be on vacation and I can't do the calendars until I get a tiebreaker for the two October pictures.

And for October we have a tie! 9 votes each for Comfy - TS2 and aisquared - TS3.

Any suggestions?

Give them both a winner's sticker? Or could we perhaps ask @Lyralei , as the official Moderator for both The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 forums, to decide between them?

It's not the winners' stickers; it's that I can't put both pictures in the calendar for October.

Please could a member of staff resolve a tiebreaker?

If you really want my opinion, I think my favourite is Comfy's spooky picture!

Me too, I would vote for Comfy's entry. (Very hard choice though since I love the lovely teddy bears as well!)

My vote is for Comfys picture too!

Okay, thanks to the mods! Even if HL votes it won't change the outcome, so congratulations, Comfy! You are our October winner!

I'm away on holiday this week, but next week I should be able to finish the calendars and hopefully get them uploaded!
