First Challenge: "Show Us How Proud You Are"

"Show Us How Proud You Are"

Yes, we have finally made it to our first challenge and we want YOU to show us how proud you are!

This challenge is going to involve creating/or using your submitted sim to represent your country of birth or where you currently reside. Up to you. You can choose to use colours to present this, specialised custom content or even activities/actions that are specific to your country. You may even use a combination of all of these. Be creative. :D Just to clarify again, you don't need to use your country's flag colours if you don't wish to. For example: if you come from Canada, you can create a sim whose a hockey player. :D

You CAN create an interesting background for your entry, especially if this is going to help with your portrayal. THIS NEEDS TO ALL BE DONE IN GAME. No editing and no photoshopping.

This challenge will also require 3 photos to be submitted:

- A CAS Shot
- In Game Head Shot
- In Game Body Shot

Make sure you let us know what country your sim is representing!

To give you guys some ideas, Eva has created a simmeh representing Australia:

I don't have anything in my game that is fit in my country. I don't even have any dress relating to my country. Can I please choose any country or do I HAVE to choose the country I was born in? Sad...

you can choose any sleepingkitty

what bout a state in usa? no no huh? lol

Like I said Alexa, you don't have to use clothes from your country, colors from your country or flag will do. Like being a fan / supporter for your country :D And it can be a country you live in, or used to live in (don't forget to name the country though ;))

You don't need a dress or any CC that necessarily represents your country, as Eva already mentioned, you can use colours and patterns and apply these to base game clothes.

You do however need to represent a country you have lived in, are living in, or were born in. :D It can be any part of your culture, as well if need be.

I hope this helps.

Ninja - since you are from the USA and there are different cultures and such in different states, this is acceptable. Remember, its just something to represent your country and it can be anything. We don't expect a bunch of sims with the stars and stripes on them, it can be anything that is American.

Ooh, I'm excited for this! I want to get in game and work on it tonight, but I don't know if I'll have time. Boo course work!

I think I'm going to make an NY sim, since that's the state I live in. That should be fun!

PERFECT idea. :D

Thanks guys !! I think it's going great so far !! :D
Thanks for the positive responses and there are already a lot of entries !!

Thanks !! hiho

MissL and/or Miss Eva,

I was reading the rules for this contest and I realized that you are limiting the creations to a gender, FEMALE, in this case.

Actually I'm to blame cuz I'm lazy to read stuff and usually give away my signature before reading the small hidden conditions of the contracts. No, I never signed a marriage contract but my bank usually behaves like my wife wannabe.

My country has brilliant women, but they are annonymous to the world. I have my idea plotted to show a little bit of Portugal but I can't do it with a woman! I need a MALE sim!

What shall I do now? Is that rule a must be rule or is it something that can be changed for this particulary challenge one??

Thank you for your time.

Hi Sergio :D

The whole competition is about making female Sims, my dear !!
We've done this because, most simmers (in general) feel more comfortable making female Simmies, there's more, hmm... loads more of (custom) content available for female Simmies and if we would allow more than one gender, this would make comparison & judging real difficult or maybe unfair.
Miss L also mentioned this in the rules and guidelines for the competition.

This 1st assignment is about creating a (female) Sim, showing how proud you are about your country, like your countries colors, or something specific to your country (or State).
Just have a look at JK's pic here for example, showing of a female sim ('male' profession) in something specific to the state she originates from.

I'm sure you'll do fine, with a female Sim, Sergio !! Otherwise see it as an extra challenge, since you want to come 1st in the competition !! :D

OK ?? Sergio ?? :105:

Hmmm what if my MALE sims has gender conflicts?! He's a male outside with a inner female personality?! NOOOOOOOOOOOES!!! My project is ruined!!

I'm sorry to hear that Sergio Sad...

Maybe you can transform your project to a female Sim with a gender conflict ?? She's a female outside with an inner male personality, while still be Portuguese themed ??

I'll think you'll do fine Sergio !! I believe in your Sim making capabilities and there's still enough time, so no worries there !! Come on Sergio, you can do it !! hiho

;) :105:
