Contest progress update.

A few weeks ago, I told you of a contest/challenge I was thinking of doing. I'm actually trying to fine-tune this contest, and I would like some ideas on what to name this. Leave suggestions in the comments, and I will put up a poll when I get enough. I also need a few people to help me with judging and possibly rewards.

Did I tell you what the contest is? No? *For shame!*

There are two shows on HGTV called House Hunters and Property Virgins. (There's actually two kinds of House Hunters: USA and International.) With both of these shows, they take a person or family and help them find a home by showing them different ones. Well, I was inspired by this and decided I wanted to start a contest. There will be two parts to this contest.

1. Building a house. You will be provided with a Sim/family and given three basic needs for a home. Your job will be to build a home for this Sim/family. While there is no need to decorate, you may decorate very minimally, almost like the home were up for show. Judging will be based on how well you fit the needs of the client. (I am debating whether or not to put a budget for the home itself.)

2. Decorating the house for after the move-in. Yes, there will be a decorating part to this. After the winning house is selected, it will be up for download here at this blog. This part is the challenge part; there will be no winner selected here.

There are a few conditions that must be met in order to participate:

• This is a Sims 3 contest/challenge. I am willing to have someone host a Sims 2 version, if desired.
• MUST be willing to upload house.
• Keep CC to a minimum, and keep the home to as close to base-game as possible. We don't want a home come challenge time that people can't decorate. If there is CC, make sure you tell us exactly what it is and where it can be downloaded. Keep it free as well, people. :)
• If you don't/can't participate in the contest, you are still welcome to participate in the challenge.
• Promote, promote, promote! I (or someone else) will make a small banner for forum sigs when I get the name finalized.
• You don't need a blogger account to participate; if you have a house you want to submit, feel free to e-mail me. I will put that out when it comes time.

Whoooo. That was quite the long-winded post! All right peeps, I'm way excited for this. I have a few names myself, but I have no idea what to call it... I'm kinda useless when it comes to naming things. *Sadface.*
