Spark'd Challenge: Destination Weddings!

I made my venue last night and while it was fun it is a bit disappointing to see everyone else spamming the contest with random entries that have nothing to do with the page.

I've checked the judging criteria. I don't feel that it's going to be fair to the smaller creators. Only those with a lot of likes by the community will later on be judged by the EA employees in the second round. Unless, all the creations are submitted under anonymous. I personally feel that, it will have a lot of issues later on.

I agree @xamira99 they might as well say this is a challenge for the game changers and the popular ones. I like the concept, but I won't waste my energy submitting. There is someone on this forum who purposely dislikes all of my videos, which makes me chuckle, but there are mean spirited folks out there.

stolen reuploads - teehee - simmers still think they "own" stuff.

Yeah, the concept is good, but the execution is okay, but seems like they need to have a few "rules" that will actually encourage everyone to create & possibility to have an equal chances to be recognised.

I've seen this even on the sparkD challenge section @troshalom. I wonder if the staffs are going to check only by the end of the current challenge or daily, because, if those creations that doesn't meet the criteria, stolen, etc. stays for 2 weeks, it will only make their "creations" skewed towards the most favourite and we might miss those who actually submitting the most creative & unique creations.

Uploaded my wedding venue yesterday and as a new builder already feel like it won't get any notice.

Gosh there is so many uploads that has nothing to do with the challenge in the Spark gallery. Why would people do that ? Makes no sense :/

I know the feels! What's your EA id? I'd love to take a look!

I thought about going for the stylist category, but got too busy. Maybe the next challenge. I went through and voted for a bunch of households and none of them were from the popular folks -- I just hit Newest and scrolled through looking for unique couples.

@ButteredToast The easiest way to solve this if you didn't use any CC on the family is to save them on the gallery, then go to the game setting, untick the box that says "Enable Custom Content and Mods" in the "Other" section. Then quit the game.
After doing this the next time you launch the game you will be CC free. Now you can go to CAS and place the family you already created and then save them again. This time when you save them they won't be labeled as "modded". Now you can post them normally.
If you want your CC back you can simply check the box you unchecked before and restart the game.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try that.

@mcrudd so true. I wish the simmers wouldn't spam it like that. I really would love to scroll through and see folks wedding related builds. So much is just not related.
