I'm away from home (and thus my simming computer) atm and I'm not entirely sure when I will be back, so I would be fine with an extension too. But I should be home before deadline and in a pinch, I think my laptop has the basegame... but just saying, I wouldn't complain about more time

Out of curiousity, can body sliders be changed? Actors gaining or losing weight or working out for a role?

Personally, I am fine with the time we have now. The 2 day extension we already received was perfect for me.

For me it was enough too. I'm very curious about the final scores, but I guess I won't mind longer waiting.

You should to use makeup and other CC for deformations instead. In real life people use the masks and other makeup to get this, so I strongly advice you to stick with them for your Sims. The rules state that facial sliders can't be changed, so I'm afraid this is no exception.

And yes, the round is extended til the 18th. The message about the extension was posted right before the scores for Round 2 arrived.

Yes, body sliders can be changed. You can see a lot of actors in real life losing/gaining weight for the role.

About another extension

Please note that the extension can be provided only in the case of extreme necessity. This means if you could make your entry until 18th but just want more time for other reasons - don't ask for an extension! This round is set to last for 12 days already, which is more than enough to make your entry (note that typically rounds last only about a week). Everyone wants to get free time before the Christmas, so please consider the fact that judging period is already very close to the holidays. If I extend the round once more, we may get the scores in the next year.
There are 30 people participating in this contest, so I will need at least 5 asks for another extension with a reasonable explanation why would you need more time (this can be PM'ed to me personally).

Brooke, having been raised by a single mother, has seen the pain caused by playboys like Mario Ferarri, and she won't stand idly by. Together with the three jilted ex-girlfriends, they hatch a plan to get rid of Mario. They even consider the possiblility of murder. Things rarely go as planned, especially when Brooke starts to think that she might be falling for Mario herself.

Genre: Rom-com
Starring: Zara Ellington, Max Lima, Cindy Jones, Missy Coleman and Laura Wilde.



NB: I know you mentioned about my lack of CC in prev round but, my laptop went into full shut down on 14th Dec.. Soo... all of my games and files were wiped... That means that there isn't as much CC in this round apart from clothing and make up. Also, I added CC due to whether or not I thought it was needed, it doesn't state in the rules that we need it... just that it's allowed.. Thanks for the comments though, I've tried especially hard under my circumstances to take your comments and to work on my entry

It's still 1 day and 9 hours. The timer on the main page counts the time until December 18 at 11:59:59 PM GMT (London time), so the countdown will show the same time left no matter in which time zone you are.

Default Crazy Summer Nights
Penelope Hoover, age seventeen, is a young actress ending her teen movie career. For the past four years, she's been stuck in the same teen romance movies. Penelope started out as a small child actress, doing commercials and bit roles on television series. She made her breakthrough in the hit movie "Saturdays with Marisol", a slight fantasy-romance movie with her playing the main role. Penelope has aged with her movies, while being energetic and loud as a child/pre-teen, she had grown into a mature outlet, more quiet and reserved. Now, she's going out of the teen genre and into the young adult movie world, starting with the comedic-drama romance, "Crazy Summer Nights", playing Elizabeth Ledell.

Crazy Summer Nights

"Crazy Summer Nights" follows teenager Elizabeth Ledell through her junior year of high school. She forms a long-standing crush on senior Levi Monroe, who plans to join the army after school. Afraid she might not get her chance after he graduates, best friends Emily and Carl devise a plan of their own to pull Elizabeth and Levi together. Unfortunately, their plan fails as the end of the year rolls around and Levi graduates, leaving Elizabeth in a rut, being stuck as his best friend. When the unexpected news that Levi is not going to join the army, but stay in the area and take a year off, Elizabeth becomes overjoyed, and she goes with her own plan this time around. One of the events in the small town they live in, is called "Showcase Saturday", a weekly dance contest held at the high school's gymnasium. Determined to dance with Levi, Elizabeth and Levi hang out during the summer, having fun times with each other and occasionally going on friendly dates, where they are asked numerous times if they are dating. The most famous scene in this movie is the "Learning to Dance" scene, where Levi is home alone one night when Elizabeth is over, and she begins to teach him to dance. Things get a little heated, but they don't mind.

No stranger to the world of fame and glamor, Malone McCarthy, age 31, shines with charisma and oozes sensuality. Son of director Liam McCarthy and supermodel Alessandra Silves, Malone has been in the public's eye since he was a small toddler. With a gift for music, Malone began performing in musical theater as a teen. Shortly after graduating high school, he formed a band with close friends and classmates and has enjoyed moderate success on the indie rock scene. Now he seeks to branch out his talents and will be starring in his first ever motion picture, romantic comedy Avenue of Broken Hearts, where he can put his musical talents to good use.


Casey Cassidy, local rocker and heartbreaker extraordinaire, is famous for his sensual voice that brings the bar to their feet and infamous for his one night stands. Women flock to the bar, eager to see him, desperate to brush against his hand and, should he invite them back to his apartment, they willingly follow, never making it to dawn before he escorts them to a cab and sends them on their way. His "love em' and leave em'" motto has worked well for him thus far and he has no intentions of abandoning it for any woman. All Casey is focused on is that million simolean contract that will set him up for life until local bartender, Eve, refuses to give him the time of day, spurning and rejecting his advances. Shocked that anyone could refuse him, Casey engages in a game of seduction that takes him out of his Casanova comfort zone and into the unfamiliar territory of L-O-V-E.

Nina Ha

Name: Nina Ha (Ha Thi Mai Nhung)
Age: 23
Bio: Nina, born of Vietnamese parents, raised in Australia and living in London (Nina is her English name, Mai Nhung her Vietnamese), is already making a name for herself in light hearted romance films. She was a little hesitant to audition for Love and Berries, not wanting to get typecast so early in her career, but the fun script and hunky co-star won her over.

Nina's acting is currently putting her through university, where she studies ecological sciences, and she is still open to whichever direction life takes her.

Jessica

Jessica's mother always said the way to a man's heart was through his stomach. Jessica's sure she'll meet Mr Right one day, but in the meantime she'll run her dessert catering and hostess business and make sure she's in the best position to catch him when he appears.

When Neil Anderson rocks up unexpected to his sister's party, Jessica is on the spot. Melanie Anderson is her oldest client, and her erstwhile brother is gorgeous, successful, laidback... everything a girl could want.

But the first thing Jessica does is half kill him.

When Mr Right has a nut allergy, doesn't like cakes or slices and thinks Jessica's an idiot, Jessica is just about ready to give true love the finger. On top of that Melanie isn't exactly happy her brother ended up in hospital, and Jessica's business is suddenly on shaky legs.

Jessica only has one option: catch the man and placate Melanie with a perfect summer berry parfait.

(Note: I took the movie title and ran with it! Also, there's no photoshopping, but some creative use of tipsy OMSPs.)

Xia Tsai
Age:
32 years old

Xia was born into a Chinese household to an American mother and a Chinese father. She never dreamt of the lifestyle of the rich and famous. Instead she dreamt of travelling the world to help animals in need, hoping that one day she would become a qualified vet. When she was 14 years old, her parents got divorced and her father went back to China. She then spent most of her summers spending time in China with her father and his family. One summer when she was 17, a talent agent noticed Xia in a restaurant and asked her to be the face for a well-known cosmetic brand.
Soon after, she was flooded with offers to be the face of many beauty products, commercials and even films! Since then she has become a well-known celebrity in China and has been in many dramas and films. But her biggest break came when she was offered the role in her first American movie, ‘Avenue of Broken Hearts’ where she plays the main character. After the success of the movie she was offered the main role in ‘CSI: Sunset Valley’ as Detective Eva Tan.


Faye Chung

Faye Chung has lost her job, her husband, her hopes and her dreams all in one day. Her husband left her for a younger woman after nearly eight years of marriage, her company went bankrupt and everything she ever dreamed of quickly fell from her grasp. With her life in a complete ruin, she has no choice rather than to relocate to Sunset Avenue, in hopes to start anew.
Her hopes are once again crushed when she finds out that her husband and his mistress are living together in the huge mansion at the end of the street. She then overhears some gossip, about her husband’s mistress and her estranged husband, James Reinhardt, a drop dead gorgeous and mysterious man - who’s now living in the run down bungalow right across the road from her! Lonely, she acquaints herself with him hoping to be a shoulder to cry on. But it seems all he wants is revenge on the man who stole his wife.
Together they concoct a plan to steal their partners back. Every chance they get, they put their schemes in to action, in hopes that they can drive their partners apart and back in to their arms. Although James is very hesitant and reluctant to reveal his feelings to Faye, he always comforts her when she gets emotional about her husband leaving her.
Over time it seems that Faye had underestimated her feelings for her husband and now finds herself hopelessly falling head over heels for James. But will James feel the same? Or will he continue to pursue his estranged wife?

Default Love and Berries

Isabel Montero

Age: 19

Isabel Montero immigrated to the United States from Mexico with her parents when she was just two years old. With a naturally bubbly personality and charismatic demeanor, she was drawn to the stage from a very early age and has always loved the spotlight. Her supportive parents tried to cultivate their daughter’s talents by signing her up for singing and acting classes, and at one of her recitals she was discovered by a talent scout. She moved to Hollywood at the age of eighteen, and after some small bit parts in a few television shows, Isabel finally got her big break, playing the part of Aurelia Morales in the romantic comedy Love and Berries.


Aurelia Morales

Aurelia Morales dreams of attending a small liberal arts college a few hours away, but as the only child of a single, working mother she knows she will have to win a scholarship in order to afford the pricey private school. As the main component of the application, the scholarship committee requires her to write a five-page essay “describing a significant risk you have taken and evaluating its impact on your life”, but Aurelia, an A+ student and self-proclaimed perfectionist, struggles to think of a suitable topic. Determined to win the prestigious award, the class valedictorian comes up with a daring scheme- Fake a pregnancy and use the experience to assess the social stigmas attached to unwed teenage mothers.

With only her immediate family knowing the true situation, Aurelia starts the first day of her senior year at a new school, Berry Lane Academy, but little does she realize just how different life as a “berry” will be. With no friends and no reputation, she struggles to fit in with the other kids in her class, and it isn’t long before she’s labeled as untouchable by the “popular” crowd. Nevertheless, one boy at her school, Lucas Albright, takes an immediate liking to the blunt and outspoken Aurelia, and soon their close friendship blossoms into young love. However, as the weeks pass by and Luc begins asking more and more questions about her pregnancy, Aurelia’s lies quickly accumulate, and she frequently finds herself tangled up in messy, but often hilarious situations. And when Luc’s one-time best friend, the ever popular Matthew Ridgeway, becomes jealous of their relationship and decides to win Aurelia for himself, her secret becomes even more difficult to hide. Will she be able to keep her charade going and win the scholarship, or will the other “berries” at her school discover the truth?

(admitted rush job, hopefully I'm on time... only got back home a few hours ago)

(And yes, those are neutral expressions... I didn't realize they would look quite so expressive outside of CAS)




Khatijah Saab is not a household name yet, but very soon she may be! Khatijah is a girl from a tiny city on the edge of the Simhara. Clever, resourceful and ambitious, she got her start in the film industry as the backer of her friends' film, The Way To The West, draining about 1.7% of her trust-fund for the artistic endeavor, securing herself a spot as the star of their newest film, Crazy Summer Nights, a retelling of the story of 1001 Nights.



But don't think Khatijah only used her connections, birthright and money to get a role undeserved! Perhaps shockingly, the film and actress both met with extreme acclaim from critics when screened this weekend, and Khatijah was praised for her role as Scheherazade, a woman married to a King jaded by the unfaithfulness of a woman, who marries a virgin each night and has her executed each morning, until he weds the last woman left. Through her tales she tells him, Scheherazade keeps herself alive for one more night until the king can hear the ending to each story, until by the end of the summer, the king has fallen in love.

Khatijah and her co-star, Farid Amjad also play between them nearly every major character in Scheherazade's tales.
