Subject: Assignment 5: "Back In The Day" April 13th 2011, 10:14 am
First topic message reminder :
~*BACK IN THE DAY*~
You've all kept at the competition and you've made it to assignment 5, congratulations everyone!
This week we want all of you to go back, way back, back into time. However, the time machine is broken and only allows you to go back to 3 eras! It is up to you which era you choose, but here is some info to help you decide:
The 20's: Often referred to as the "Roaring Twenties" or the "Jazz Age". It was an era of great economic uproar and revolution. Countries formerly under monarchies were becoming independent republics. The TV was invented, as was the rocket, and silent films were giving way for sound films. F. Scott Fitzgerald published "The Great Gatsby" and Winnie The Pooh entered the scene.
To give you guys some more ideas on fashion, check out this link: 1920's in Fashion
The 50s: This era was dominated by clashes between communism and capitalism. The Korean War took place in this era, as did the space race. NASA was organised, polio vaccine was created and Crick and Watson discovered the spiral structure of DNA. Most famously, this was the era of Elvis Prestley, Marilyn Monroe, and the beginnings of Rock 'n' Roll.
For some ideas on 50's fashion: 1950's in Fashion The 60's: The 1960s refers to an era more often called The Sixties, denoting the complex of inter-related cultural and political trends across the globe. It was remembered for it's wars, conflicts, coups, nuclear threats, independence, political events (Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have A Dream" speech, Che Guevara's campaign for a worldwide revolution), assassinations (The Assassination of JFK and Martin Luther King Jr.), natural disasters (Great Chilean Earthquake, recorded at 9.5 on the ricter scale) and the moon landing (one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind). It was the time of the African American Civil Rights Movement, the rise of feminism and the anti-war movement. Let's not forget Bob Dylan, The Beatles and The Beach Boys.
For a look into 60's fashion and style (it was not just Hippies back then), check out this link: 1960's in Fashion
Now that you have chosen your era, read carefully:
- You will be required to create not only a new female sim, but a COMPLETE sim. This means you will need to style your sim in every outfit: Everyday, Formal, Sleep, Athletic and Swimwear. This needs to be historically correct, which means you will need to search the WWW for CC that matches and fits your chosen era. REMEMBER: Just cause something doesn't "look" like it belongs in a certain era, does NOT mean you CANNOT use patterns to MAKE it so. - Keep an eye on features, make up and overall appearances of women in these eras. Look at bodyshapes, did women appear physically different in these eras? Keep this in mind when making your sim. - When you have finished your sim, you will need to submit the following: - A CAS shot - A Head shot (In game or CAS) - 5 IN GAME shots of each outfit. - 2 IN GAME action shots. You may use extras and backdrops to portray your era. PLEASE keep the focus on your sim, do not let your sim fade into the background. - You may present your images in a collage format, but you will need to make it large enough for us to see properly, or add links in to full size images underneath your collage. - Remember no naughty Photoshopping/GIMP'ing or editing. Everything must be in game.
To provide you guys with some ideas/inspiration, Evie, Eva and myself have all provided you guys with some examples for each era:
Also, we hate to tell you but...ELIMINATIONS BEGIN THIS ROUND!
Due to the immensity of this challenge, you have until Sunday, April 24th @ 2355 hrs PST time (here) to submit your entry!
Remember if you encounter any problems with submitting on time, please do not hesistate to contact either myself or Eva, in this thread or via PM. We will respond ASAP.
If you have any questions regarding this weeks challenge, please post them in this thread and we will answer ASAP.
Post your submissions in this same thread please!
Good luck everyone and may the force be with you!

Wow, JK, that was great!!
But you used the hair I wanted to use, GRRR! Haha, I'm just jealous of how amazing your pics are- mine won't be anywhere near as great
I might just use the hair anyway, haha... (it's the short one you used in swimwear, sleepwear, and athletic, by the way)
You should still use it! It wasn't my main hair :D

Okay, here's my entry! I'm sorry I'm coming in so close to the deadline
I'm not super satisfied with these pictures so I'm really really glad the elimination isn't this time!
Meet Louise Wallace!
Louise's family members frequently comment that her mouth never seems to shut- she's happiest when talking and interacting with others.
Louise rises very reluctantly in the morning. In fact, the unlucky person sent to wake her in the morning nearly always gets an earful!
Sleepwear:
Once Louise is dressed, she begins to get excited about the day ahead of her. Louise takes long walks through the park every morning, enjoying all the amazing views. It's hard to pull her away from the flowers!
Everyday:
Louise can't help but take a turn on the swings once in a while. Her family members tease her and say she's still a child at heart. Louise is the first to acknowledge that they're right.
Some days, Louise's parents insist that Louise get out and exercise. Louise always pitches a fit. She fails at any sport that involves hand and leg coordination. In her eagerness to catch and/or hit a ball, she usually trips on herself. Louise is a very fast runner though.
Athletic wear:
When her family goes to the pool, Louise often decides to take a nap on the most comfortable poolside recliner. After Louise got sun-burnt one too many times, her mother insisted that she wear a hat. The hat always falls to the side, however, and Louise ends up with a half sun-burnt face.
Swimwear:
On weekends, Louise parties long into the night. She loves to wear colorful, elaborate dresses and simply have a good time.
Formalwear:
Sometimes, Louise likes to kiss a thoroughly unacceptable guy- it would be wasteful not to enjoy her youth, after all!
From morning to night, Louise is a true 20's girl. No matter how her day goes, she's always having fun and reminding everyone around her that life should be a celebration.
