I am excited about this contest as I enjoy creating colorful/unique elders to add to my game.https://i.postimg.cc/52rJ6wKF/Elders-Sparkd.pngBut, I really wish that EA would put a flag in the Spark'd gallery that automatically removes households from the challenge if there is not an elder in the household. Sims are spamming these challenges with their created sims that don't fit the challenge and it makes it difficult to impossible to weed through these entries that don't meet the contest guidelines to vote for entries you like.Please consider making a change to the Gallery to auto flag these uploads. Also, please add a selection to the flag report that allows people to flag content that doesn't meet the contest guidelines.https://i.postimg.cc/YqcmmWVZ/Spark-Flag.png

Yes I so agree there should be a flag like this in the game. As soon as I upload something it's buried by custom posed young adult sims. There's even a panda on there!!! They wouldn't have to remove the upload from the main gallery just removed the hashtags for the challenge and then they wouldn't appear in the contest.

I can't believe that a new challenge just started without the problems with the first one being addressed! It'll be the same mess. How's this going to be a fair competition? Does anyone at ea/maxis cares? Are the winners already chosen before the contest? Why else would ea/maxis not care to solve the problems before starting a new challenge?

Oh good, I was worried they fixed the voting and removed the entries that don't belong. I was much relieved to log in and see my favourite zoo animals at the top for entries on a challenge focused around seniors. :/ Unless you have a social media to promote your creations and a following large enough to vote you out of the mess, your creation will just be lost in a sea of items that will end up disqualified but make it impossible for you to get a fair vote for others to actually see your work. We really need a way to report these people or someone moderating it. People having their items removed as warning and if it continues, ban them from uploading for 24 hrs. 48 hrs. 72 hrs. They will learn eventually.

I was actually excited about this one. The couple in my current avi I've been playing for two months as of today, September 7, 2020. Sadly Ryan, the hubby, has passed away. But that happened after I submitted them to the challenge.

Hey,

I'm really sorry that you had these experiences, it must have been very discouraging for you. :(

@ElizabethMc I reached out to the Spark'd team. Unfortunately, there is no way to submit creations after the closing. Apologies for that. And even though this doesn't help right now, I sent this on as feedback.

@DarkBrew I understand that this is very frustrating and this feedback has also been sent to the team.
And as mentioned before, the indication on the website was misleading so I definitely see where you're coming from. The submission window closed at about 10AM PT as far as I know.

While you are at it can you give them some feedback about the state of the challenge gallery? It's very demoralising that so few entries have anything to do with the contest and if you leave a comment you get harassed.

I was checking a little while ago and couldn't even find either of my entries on there and I followed the rules. I won't bother to enter again.

Sul sul Simmer!

It's official now, the Top Spark'd Creators have been announced!

Congrats to everyone who's creations are featured - well done and well deserved! :smiley: ?
If you want to check out the great creations, head over here!

And for everyone who wasn't selected from this challenge, I know it might be disappointing but don't let that get you down. You have created amazing Sims, builds, and stories and you can be very proud of yourself! :heart: I'm sure there will be another opportunity in the future where you can present your creations - and don't forget that the community always appreciates your creativity! :)

Let's celebrate the incredible talent that this community has to offer! :relaxed:

No offense to the creator, but I can't believe that Pole-Dancer Grandma is one of the winners.
