GIFT OF CREATION GAME UPDATE!!

February 2019: Howdy, this is Jude. I am currently running the Game while ZeeGee pursues other interests. I had a lot of fun participating as a builder and after the game died off in 2018 I really hoped to see it come back. So I am here to try and make that happen.

As of February 5, 2019, we are up and running! Please read below to see how this works, whether it is to request something you want or to find out how to enter. Then, jump to the most recent posts and join in on the fun. If you have any questions at any point, please do not hesitate to post them publicly, but you can always reach out to me @Jude525.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Once upon a time there was a wonderful thread that helped simmers 'pay it forward' or 'pay it back' to those who owned the store and gifted store items or helped the simmer in any way with owning the store. The creator of that game, Mya (NagyGina), has been missing for quite some time so the thread can't be updated, and it eventually fell into forum Neverland.

Mya's original thread:

Gift of Creation Game

This is a simplified version of Mya's original game!

There are two ways to participate:
1. Post your creation wish list by copy/pasting the form and filling it out. You can wish for lots, worlds, patterns, sims, anything that can be
created with Sims 3! You can wish for as many creations as you want! Just please number them.

2. Look through the posted wish lists and see if there is anything you would like to create. "Wishlists here" If you see something you would like to try, you can post that you're working on it and post 'in progress' pictures, or you can just post a link and 5 pictures when you're done. If you have more than 5 pictures please put them in a spoiler or post a link to the rest.

Anyone who creates an item from a wishlist and posts the entry here will be entered into a monthly drawing and there will be store prizes at the end of each month! Creations will not be judged. This is a random drawing.

*SPONSORS APPRECIATED*

I also play from disc on Win 10. So far the Selector has been working. I had one little glitch where I reset to the packs I've been playing with and it claimed to have replaced items. So I closed without saving and double checked which packs were selected within the Selector. It appeared that I had the correct packs selected, so I just "Saved" the selection again, closed it and ran the game the way I normally do from the TS3.exe file rather than the launcher and I was back in business. I had clicked the large icon at the bottom of the selector to start the launcher the previous time. As I said, I never use the launcher anymore, so it may have been a factor.

Also, I just checked and it does say on the mod page that it supports Movie Stuff and ITF. I am currently running Movie Stuff, but don't have ITF installed yet. **Edited for possible forum policy breach**

Hello! I don't know where to post this. I hope you won't mind the off-topic.
Namely, I got a sudden interest lately in building, more specifically building for contests and other Simmers. I am aware that I belong to Talentless Theater in Midnight Hollow though. :lol: Still, these kinds of things have been very compelling to me for past few months. How can I become the part of it? I would love, for example, to try to build something for @charlotteprice
Or am I just overly ambitious? :lol:

@ninaumi Hi, nice to see you here! You're not off topic at all. All you have to do is look at charlotteprice's wishlist on the previous page of this thread and build something that meets her requirements. She actually left it pretty wide open. Once you are done with your build, just post here using the entry form with pictures and a link to the build. You are then entered into the contest for the month that you post!

@ninaumi That's so cute! Love all the colors. You're entered into the August drawing!

Number of item on the entry form is if the simmer's creation wishlist has more than one request. Since Charlotte only had one, it wasn't applicable. :smiley:

I had planned to work today, but I suppose that is not happening since it is now 4:30 and I usually start at about 2:30. (I drive for Uber. I'll just work tomorrow.) Instead I am reinstalling the missing EPs so that I have a full installation available for builds. Into the Future is running now, and then I will be done.

I haven't really built anything in months, so I'm hoping to be inspired.

EDIT: I just realized, couldn't drive at this point anyway. I've spent too much time on the computer and literally wouldn't be able to see well enough to drive today. My eyes are too fatigued. Woot! I have an excuse.

Aww, I love this house! Yes, I wanted to keep the price under 40K and I know its hard to do, but I usually motherlode one time when they move in so I can get them a car and take classes and I absolutely have to give my sims the multi tab, I can't do without that, LOL.

You did a great job and I am going to DL it now <3 Thank you so much and I am glad you are in the drawing for August!

ETA: Just DL'd it and loved your title "Paying it back" <3 <3

I so appreciate all the houses from Maya's thread and the one's Romaji and ZG built for me. These are the best gifts for me, I just love my Sims <3

just to be sure i understand correctly, am i correct in assuming that everything listed on the wishlists is a preference, rather than a requirement?

(i'd love to try building something to repay the awesome folks who have gifted me pretty things; i have all eps, but i don't own any stuff packs, so just wanted to make sure that won't be an issue.)

also that candy stash looks delicious!

@lauravonawesome Nice to see you hear! You have to follow the general requirements (example: no CC unless wishlist poster says it's ok). You also have to follow the requirements the wishlist creator has posted. If you have any questions about something then feel free to ask me or the wishlist person to clarify. If you want to, you can post WIP pics to see if you're on the right track with what the creator wants. Mya's thread was a LOT more detailed and I may have left something out trying to simplify so feel free to ask questions! I'll add your question to the FAQ tonight when I get home. :smiley:
