"Now Do It Yourself"

Yeah damn straight, do it your damn selves! Razz

Joking, of course we will give you guidance and perhaps some rules too.

Before we continue, welcome to the SEMI-FINALE (I added the E for some glamour Razz

)!!! We are so proud of our little simming munchkins!!! So this means that this week we will be deciding on our final three! The big finale is going to be a lot of fun, perhaps twice as much fun, so let this little piece of info give you guys that drive you will need to give us some great entries and ensure your place in the finale.

Moving on to this weeks challenge. Our focus is DIY, but not the kind of home renovating, cupboard building DIY. We're gonna give you guys 5 outfits we want you to use and the rest is up to you. Almost complete creative freedom this week.

So what do we want you guys to use this week? Well, well, well, have a look 'ere 'eh:

The outfits are shown from Everyday to Swimwear.

Here are the guidelines for this week:

- You may use whichever hair, skin, accessories, shoes etc you wish.
- What your sim does in the action shots is up to you, be as creative as you wish.
- Remember you have total freedom this week with your sim's presence and personality.
- Remember you're standard submission requirements:
One CAS shot
One Head Shot
5 Action Shots (each depicting one of the outfits)
One EXTRA shot if you wish, just to show us your simmeh's personality. (Not a requirement. If you choose to submit an extra shot or not, you will not be marked higher or lower)

You have until Friday, 3rd of June at 23.55 hours (11.55pm) PST time (here) to submit your entry!!

Remember, if you encounter any problems with submitting on time, then please contact Eva or myself via PM or in this thread. You guys know we're flexible Smile

Wow. I love it! Smile

Our computer's going to be gone on the 30th, though... If I do make it to the semi-finals, I may not be able to submit. But I'm not dropping now. Smile

EDIT: I sent you guys a PM.

Subject: Re: Assignment 8: "Now Do It Yourself!!" May 24th 2011, 3:53 am

Jaddie, I've responded to you.

Glad you like this week's challenge. It was Miss Eva's idea Big smile

Subject: Re: Assignment 8: "Now Do It Yourself!!" May 24th 2011, 4:34 am

Lovelies,

We're going to review this week's theme. We will hopefully have a new idea up tonight for you all.

Sorry about this guys!

Huh? So should we do this assignment or not? confused

Subject: Re: Assignment 8: "Now Do It Yourself!!" May 24th 2011, 6:08 am

Not at the moment. There have been some problems. We will review and give a new submission date. We might go with just items from The Store, of your own choice, instead of what we have chosen.

Sorry Caradella.

Phew, I'm kinda worried there.. The store items didn't work for me! When I put it into my game, my game NEVER loads... Sad032

Member Posts : 95 Thanks : 11 Join date : 2011-02-19

Miss L, maybe Base Game items, then? That would be fair to all the contestants, and keep with the theme.

Subject: Re: Assignment 8: "Now Do It Yourself!!" May 24th 2011, 9:56 am

Jaddie can you let me know if the item I gifted, worked for you in your game ??
If so, I'll be sending a PM to all you guys.
If it doesn't work, we need to adjust this assignment.

OK guys, the work around is working, so check your "PM" and send me your response as soon as possible and I'll arrange the clothes will be "delivered" to you !!

If this doesn't take too long the deadline will remain the same.

Edit: don't use the clothes send to you before, as they may cause conflicts.

Molly Caliente has it all; the looks, the charm, and the body. However, she's got no brains, and is too lazy to work and earn money. She lived a carefree life, until she realized that her bills are piling up bigger and BIGGER, and that she MUST pay her bills or her belongings will be repossessed. But how can a dumb, lazy girl like Molly get a job, and earn money? Suddenly, a great idea came to her..

Molly’s plan is to marry a mega-rich bachelor, and coincidentally, she met one while hanging out at a bar. Wilbert Goth, the bachelor, was foolishly charmed by Molly, and not long after their first encounter, Molly became Mrs.Goth.

After becoming the wife of a rich billionaire, Molly no longer live in hardship.. She had servants to tend to her every need, and a great sum of money to spend. For a moment, everything seemed perfect, until Wilbert caught Molly cheating with their personal chef. Wilbert was devastated, and filed divorce papers. Molly was horrified; she didn’t want to live poorly again. She needs to handle this problem, fast.

Soon after she was caught, Molly kind of..sabotaged the television. Wilbert, not knowing Molly’s schemes, came to fix it, and died from electrocution. With Wilbert out of the way, Molly will inherit all of his belongings and fame.

Michelle Green

Okay sooo I actually took some inspiration from the whole "Do it yourself" theme, and decided that Michelle is going to be a crafty, sweet and smart DIY kinda girl.

It's been honor to compete with you guys and have the two best hosts, Eva and Miss L. Smile

Hey guys! I'm here, and working on the assignment, though there is no way it's going to be as amazing as both of yours. Seriously, I am soooo blown away by your entries, they show the time and dedication you put into this Smile

I'm so sorry to see Jaddie go! But good luck moving Smile

Member Posts : 105 Thanks : 15 Join date : 2011-02-10

Yay Jojo is back! I'm kinda worried you're dropping out as you made a no-show these past few days.. So glad you're back!! hiho

Oh, and Eva or Miss L, with Jaddie being no longer in the competition:'( , will there be any elimination?

Subject: Re: Assignment 8: "Now Do It Yourself!!" June 2nd 2011, 12:53 pm

Good question Caradella; since Jaddie isn't in the competition because she's moving and we planned three contestants to go to the finale, there will be no eliminations this round ! Big smile
