Rules: 1) Required shots: Please provide one overhead shot showing the layout of your room and one shot of each wall. 2) You may sharpen your pictures slightly or add text but please don't over photoshop them. We want to see how it really looks in your game. 3) Please post the pictures of your room on this thread under a spoiler. 4) If your pictures are huge please make them a little smaller. If it goes off the page and needs a slider to see it all- it’s too large. 5) Make sure to state which category it falls under. TS3, TS2 with cc or TS2 cc free. *If the first room is cc free all the rooms of that house must be cc free. Please don't have some rooms with cc and others not. You are free to place the house a second time and do one house with cc and one house without. 6) If you are entering more than one category please make each one a separate post. 7) You may post up to 10 pictures per entry. We all love to see close ups of special areas. 8) You may keep your defaults in if you have them so long as everything isn't default. Just mention what it is and what it replaces. Addition: Just for interests sake, take an overhead to show where you placed your room. This can be posted at the end of your entry but doesn't count as part of the ten picture limit. This is more to do with my own curiosity then anything. Once all entries are in a poll will be made that can be voted on. The number of votes cast will be kept tally of. If you should not post a room for some reason you will simply score zero. If you have good reasons for being late please pm either amylu or myself and we will see about an extension.

Here's my Dining Room entry for Round 2! TS2 CC Free: ;D 1. An updated shot of the floorplan(even tho that itself hasn't changed) 2. And the also-asked-for Overhead shot of the NEW Dining Room! 3. Here it is as you come in the front door and turn right... 4. Now we'll scootch over so you can see over the sink and into the actual space. 5. Here's what you'd see looking through the windows of the back door.. 6. Hows about we come in, what do you say? 7. Now we're back outside, looking in the side window. With all of this peeping we're lucky not to get caught! 8. A tiny pixie perched on the wall phone in the corner to get this one... 9. If you were a kid hiding in the plant by the bathroom door (behind us) this is what you'd see.. another turn and you're back to the front door!

Guess what's the part I loved best about your dining room? (I have to warn you about how lame I can get, though) That turkey sitting on the table! haha! Okay, but yea, I do like that you matched all the wood colours and contrasted them with light walls.

Looking good. Love the turkey modelmgt, and I really like how you are following the blue through Amy. I should get my cc free shots up tomorrow.

That's lovely Jo, the curtains look gorgeous (are the single tile ones CC additions to the base game set or are they from an EP I don't have?) and the colours all go so well! Love the flowers. We used the same light, too. *high fives*

Thanks Amy We used the same area of the house too, except I made my dinning larger and you made your kitchen larger. Oops forgot to mention the curtains are defaults ( Most of my curtains are) I don't know if you use any defaults, but turning cc off doesn’t stop defaults showing)

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but the pictures I've taken of my CC-free dining room aren't saving and it's driving me crazy! This is like the third time, and I can't figure out what I'm doing differently from the kitchen. Same thing happened in my CC kitchen last time, I finally had to move in Julien Cooke so they would take. Does it matter whether I'm in Build- or Buy Mode when I take them? Any suggestions?

How odd. Are you using the C button or a screenshot program? I know I can't use the Print screen button that comes with my keyboard as it takes a picture of my desktop or web page rather than my game. I use Fraps for my game shots. You could try a different screenshot program if it's that. All my shots are taken in buy or build mode, I just click the design key to remove grid squares.

I usually just use the C button, but it's always been hit-and-miss for unoccupied lots, even going back to the boolprop contest, but they usually took the second time. I use Gadwin to show gameplay milestones, so I'll tweak the settings on that tonight and probably just go with that... the quality will be better anyway, right? In the meantime, I got my CC entry almost completed as well.

That's so lovely, Jo! I love the pictures, the flowers, the plates, the lamps, the view out the windows (I'd love them for sims and RL!!); really nice entry.
