We would like to do challenges/contests in this forum (when we get enough regular members to do so); therefore, we want to know what type of contests you would be interested in. Take the poll. You can select as many options as you see fit. For description purposes: Create-A-Sim...is where you create a sim and enter it in the contest based on whatever theme is chosen. Decorate is a weekly challenge on decorating a single room based on a theme. Montly Challenges are, of course, monthly contests, decorating a house/restaurant/communitylot/apartment/etc. based on a chosen theme. The Photography challenge is actually something I had started at ValleySunSims, but never fully launched. In each level of the contest a theme will be given and you will take a picture either real life or Simish that supports the theme. Like a visual theme prompt. If there are any other contests that you would like to join, but have not been posted or mentioned, please comment below. Thank yous

I loved the writing prompts/challenges at VSS. Maybe prompts that can lead to short stories, like a one page post story with pictures? I'm tired so this probably is making 0 sense, just an idea.

I thought about a short story theme prompt myself...I give a first sentence or up to a paragraph and then you make the second paragraph or the rest of the short story.
Another Sim-related contest 13pumpkin and I found was the story build. For example, you have a new couple moving in, they need a 1 bedroom, 1 bath, livingroom/study, dining/kitchen, laundry room. You build that for the contest...then for its next challenge, Oops they had a baby...add another bedroom. Things will build like a family story.

I like the story build idea. There'd need to be considerations for those with or without the various EPs and SPs, of course (the laundry room thing brought that to mind). I think it would be nice as a challenge, actually. An ongoing thing where we could all share what we are doing with it…

There's a lot of decor laundry room stuff for both TS2 and TS3 (before Ambitions), but when the contests are made there will also be a WCIF area so if there are things that are needed for the entries then they can be found.

Ok...the poll is closed. It is obvious that everyone is looking forward to CAS and Photography challenges.
We will be launching the photography challenge shortly as it won't be a judging contest, but more like a theme prompt based with pictures.
Any ways...what are your thoughts about any of the upcoming contests?
