SUMMER OF LOVE SIGN-UPS...1 additional lot now open!!!!

This message was edited 9 times. Last update was at 07/27/09 11:39 PM

It's that time again,
For those who have been around The Sims for awhile, you may be familiar with a concept called a "street challenge." Traditionally, a street challenge has been a way for a group of builders to come together and house an entire street's worth of families.

But Build-n-Share is doing it a little differently. Because of the great number of talented builders we have brought together in our first weeks, we present you with a NEIGHBORHOOD project. That's right...we want to build a neighborhood. In one week!

You probably think we're nuts, but just a few weeks ago, we built the entire town of Gnomelandia. http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/46054.page

Here's how it works: If each builder signs up for one lot below, at the end of the week, we will have approximately all of the lots completed for our new Summer of Love town.

Tonight, I will ask you to sign up for the lot type you are most interested in. Now, there can't be any repeats, so please review the posts before yours to make sure your lot is not taken. I will do my best to keep the sign-up list up-to-date. Taken lots will say TAKEN right in front of them with the assigned builder's name.

To sign up, please put the lot number and description you are claiming. The numbers correspond to a map created by Builders' Boulevard member Nevar530. His map is just below. Lizajbee1 has carefully gone through and provided the correct address to each lot as it corresponds to the map. There are a few small problems we are aware of, and you will see notes below to clarify any confusion caused by this. The addresses below will let you know exactly where you are building for this week's challenge. It is important to use the assigned lot so that all lots fit appropriately in the new 'hood. Please let us know if you have any trouble finding your assigned lot.

Once you sign up, please also feel free to join the "Summer of Love" team by sporting one of our groovy pic siggys, created by talented Builders' Boulevard member MamaGoth. The pic siggy options and instructions for use are further down on this page.

You can find the details on this week's specifics on the stickied Build-n-Share thread. Just click the following link to go straight there:

Like to build? Excited to be part of a team? Want to join nearly 120 other builders in a like-minded community? Join us at Builders' Boulevard, a Yahoo! group dedicated to building. You'll find polls, a way to showcase your great builds (after joining us in a few challenges), and lost of tips and tricks for building. You can find our group here: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/buildersboulevard/

And if you like the idea of building a neighborhood, you can get in on the ground level of our first major project, a Monet/Gardners' Paradise 'hood imagined by creative Builders' Boulevard Vampgirl32. We are now in the planning stages, and would love your input. This project will be created solely by the members of Builders' Boulevard, so we hope you'll consider joining us at http://www.buildersboulevard.com

The following is a list of lots for the new town. Please make sure your lot is available before you sign up. Those lots that have been claimed before my last update will say "TAKEN BY" next to them. Please read the posts before yours to make sure they have not been claimed since my last update.

Please remember that all lots should be built with a 1960s flair!

An additional important note:
Nearly every residential lot is to be made for a specific family. You will find the families with their link in the next post below. Please include that family in your upload (with credit to the family's creator in your lot description). As you build, please keep the family in-mind. You need to have the number of rooms, etc. that will clearly accommodate the family inside. Additionally, try to honor their traits as well. Finally, in your Summer of Love upload, please mention that it is a Summer of Love home in the description, to make searching a little easier for those interested.

Finally:
The lots that say "UNAVAILABLE" are listed as such because the family has not yet been completed. You may build this lot, but you will have to move in the family at a later time before you upload. If the family does not get created in-time, you will be responsible for creating this family. Please keep this in mind should you choose one of these families.

I would love to do the number 30 house for Twiggy, please?

May I please have #24--the duplex for Harper Lee and Truman Capote

Option One:

Option Two:

To get these on your profile, go to "my preferences" at the top of the page. In your siggy box, type http://i29.tinypic.com/2d1wajp.jpg for the blue one. Type http://i28.tinypic.com/2krcp5.jpg for the pink one. You will have to indicate that these are images. To do this, type ["img"] before the address, and type ["/img"] after the address. Take out all the quotes. I added them so you can read it here.

Hope to see many of you sporting the new look soon!

On my way, Icraw. Thanks again for TONS of help!!!

Got it, Ruthless. So glad you're able to join us afterall!

Quick question as I would love to give this a try.

When do you need this by?
I have chosen a family (and a backup just in case) .. I would like to try and do #80 3 Sun Song "Rainbow Family" *pray for me

*

I'm a little unclear on what the community gardens are.. are the gardens for the community to enjoy? or a garden for the community to pick fresh veggies and such from?

So, food or flora?

LOL..me too. My guests I thought were coming had to postpone due to work stuff, so I have a whole week free that I thought was going ot be crazy busy. Hooray!

The lots are due next Wednesday morning by 7 eastern time.

I will sign you up. Let me know if that doesn't work, and I will take you off the list. But things go fast around here!

Addict

Mumsy,
I was thinking vegetable garden. We could do one of each, if you'd prefer the other. Just let me know and I'll adapt the listing.

Ruthless,
Hooray! Company is always tiring, and now you have extra time to prepare and spend with us!
