Campus Constructors
Campus ConstructorsI have enjoyed participating as a contestant and judge so much that I thought I would try hosting a contest. So here goes...
Qualifications to Host:
I have been a contestant in Jones’ Pleasantview, Veronaville, and Build a Business, and a contestant and judge in Loaf's It Takes a Village
Concept:
To build a university campus, from the dorm to the library. For some rounds you will be given the outside walls, others just the empty lot. You will need to choose what subjects your university specialises in for example Arts, Science or Sport and build your campus to reflect the specialism. There will be six rounds. University is required for this contest.
Requirements:
Game:
The University EP is required.
Simmers
Simmers with any skill level are more than welcome to come and join in the fun. Although some experience of building, decorating and taking good quality screenshots would be an advantage.
Judges
I would like two judges please (I will be the third) and one emergency judge. Please post an image of a building that you have built and decorated yourself in this thread. Judges will be expected to have their round scores in within a week of the round closing.
Judge 1 | Judge 2 | Judge 3 | Emergency Judge |
---|---|---|---|
Catherine TCJD | Joandsarah77 | Karen Lorraine | Klaartje68 |
Rules:
- This contest is for TS2 only.
- No eliminations.
- CC will be allowed in some rounds as per round instructions.
- In the no CC rounds CC floors and walls are allowed.
- You may add interior walls only to shells unless otherwise stated in the round instructions.
- The only defaults allowed are roofs, and floor and wall edgers in both CC and no CC rounds
- All images must meet MTS Screenshot guidelines.
- All but the first image must be placed under [ SPOILER ] tags. You are allowed a maximum of 10 images per round, to include a front image and floor plan of each floor.
- Each round will last for two weeks.
- And finally, have fun!
Helpful image taking information
Screenshot basics
Timeline
The application round, is also round 1 and will be scored. It will last for two weeks. There will be 6 rounds total, each lasting two weeks.
Round 06 closes on Saturday 19 April 12mn, GMT

- 5 Point bonus if you can add in the ‘random secret item’ that will be revealed after the close of each round (awarded once).

I know what I will be doing tonight Karen, before I make my final decision, I have one question. If I decided to apply for emergency judge, would I still be allowed to be a contestant? (And then of course drop out when judging is needed.)

I'm only mobile, net wise, for today, but really wanna start this. What size is the lot, and how far away from the side does the right side start. Is it ok if I just recreate this one? Doesn't really look like anything tricky to recreate.

Can I be a judge?
Since this is a university and this is the only university building I have ever done, here is my Cubic Metre Dorm
I'm not building right now-I tend to go through patches, but at the same time I don't want to miss out on a contest with you guys.

A couple of questions...
1. Could I just play along for fun, without being judged or having deadlines? We're in the busiest part of the year at work, and I don't want to feel pressured with my relaxing fun in the evenings.
2. To clarify, what do you mean by "what subjects your university specializes in"? Do you mean general flavor, like "this is a party school," "this is an Ivy League," or "this is a community college"? Or do you mean hard-core focus like "this is MIT" or "this is the Academie des Beaux-Arte"?

Omg! This is so interesting and I think I am going to try to enter in this contest. I have just one question, are we supposed to pick one unit of study? Or like multiple? Or like one to match each building we make?
