Yay! Cat's entry is in. I agree, base game, that would kill me! Love how it goes out over the water Cat and your lay out.

Nice entry @CatherineTCJD too.

Yes, it's been slow on this last leg of the competition. I hope that the the next 24 hours will be a surprise with multiple posts to come. I've already released the judging form for the directors on this last round to get a head start on what to look for. This time, I hope we'll finish mid-April.

Thanks again Jo, Justpetro and Goldenbtrfly for testing my apartment building in AL. I'll get a proper look at it when I've got my entry for this round in.

I've finished my hotel and taken 10 pictures so far. Now I just have to take the rest of the pictures and write up the schedule. I hope I can get that finished in time. Mine too is a base game one, but it's nothing like Cat's. It's a city centre luxury hotel and of course it's in the Jones & Moltke style, with a very traditional "Veronavillesque" façade. It's dearer than I would have liked, and I know my MD (Andrew) won't be pleased about that, but he did want a luxury hotel, suitable for Mayfair, and he didn't want a botched job. So I do hope I haven't botched it, and it makes a reasonable return for him and Julian. (Whatever my final balance [after judging] is, I'll divide it between my two directors, Andrew and Julian. Unless I do something really awful in this final round, it should make them into two of the richest Sims in my game! )

I trust it's still 16 images plus the small one for the price.

I've updated my entry. I can get the images to show under the spoiler tags but not in the attachment area for some reason!

Want a specific style of house or community building? Why not take a look at my profile and see what I build and then come ask me to make it!

Winters Building Group
Winters Building Group Presents The Winters Inn.
When Henry Winters presented us with his design ideas when he got the Hotel contract, he wanted to build something elegant and comfortable ("the complete opposite of a certain infamous campsite"). The style he ultimately decided upon was colonial. Each room accommodates at least two people, has a mini-fridge, microwave, coffee pot, and TV. For safety and convenience, each room has a smoke alarm and telephone. Mr. Winters also wanted to make sure guests who stayed would have some entertainment so added a pool, put together a billiard room, and added a little cinema, as well as a dining room with a juice bar. And if guests wish just to sit around we have our lounge in the lobby and there is outdoor seating in the garden to enjoy the sunshine. There are public restrooms on the ground floor, and public phone in the hallway behind the lobby. On the gallery above the lobby there is a piano should any guest desire music, and a chessboard.

Great looking hotel, @Lehcar99. Love colonial buildings.

In about 2 hours, the contract will close. You may continue to submit an entry for up to 5 more days, but they will be considered late entries, if ever.

I've finished my lot, was about halfway done with pics then realized I'd forgotten smoke detectors, so will have to retake most of my pics...am very tired and have a headache. This exam is very stressful. But I'll try my darnedest to get the pics done and posted in time.

Let me welcome you all to the Black Diamond!



Lillian: "For our inspiration on this contract, we thought back to our honeymoon in Miami. There are lots of art deco buildings in Miami. Ours is something we are calling 'mod deco'; it has elements of both art deco and modern design."











Ok. I think I have everything. There is a smoke detector in every guest room (on the wall above the closet shelf), as well as the restaurant kitchen. And the two lamp posts. All of which should be visible in at least one pic.

And I made it in time! Just barely

Default Monopoly Game Town Contract: Mayfair Park Hotel (Price §289,274)

Jones & Moltke Construction Ltd.
Veronaville

To Mr V. Briggs,
Director of Urban Development,
Monopoly Game Town

Sir,

I attach hereunder plans and photographs of our submission for Contract 4.

The building is constructed of basic materials [Base Game] using the specified wall motifs. Our design is for a small but luxury hotel suitable for a principle street in the moist expensive part of town. We feel confident that the high class clientele which this hotel will attract will cause no upset at all t the distinguished residents of this part of town.

This contract was a new venture for our company, specialising as we do in affordable quality housing, but it has been an interesting and exciting one. We trust you will be happy with the solidity of our design and the usual quality finish you expect from our artisan craftsmen.

We would normally include a lift (elevator) in a hotel of this standard, but have been unable to obtain one with the basic resources available at this time. We have, however included an empty lift shaft at the centre of the stair well, which should make the retro-fitting of a lift a simple as possible.

I am yours faithfully,
Andrew Jones,
Managing Director

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mayfair Park Hotel

The hotel by night

The Mayfair Park Hotel aims to provide the highest standards of comfort and luxury. All rooms and suites have full en suite facilities provided in two bathrooms(!) All rooms have hot drink making facilities and flat screen televisions. Our suites have state-of-the-art Soma "Wall-Eye" Large Screen Flat-Panel televisions. Flowers in rooms are changed daily. All main beds have bedside telephones allowing our patrons to call room service. Safety is not neglected: all bedrooms, suite living rooms, and main public rooms have smoke alarms, and the room telephones can of course also be used to contact the emergency services.

Good job and good luck to you all in this contest! I've been watching the contest from the sidelines since your entry round and hiding in shame in the corner of my room in awe of these builds! I hope they're available for download, because even the shabbiest of the lots made me jealous!

And good luck to the jusges too. Your contestants didn't make it easy on you. :P

Jones *drool* please upload, it's beautiful! I love how you did the front and the colours.

Andrew, good going with base game items! I'm sure I would not know what to do with so few items!

Good luck judges. We did not make it easy on them at all!

Not surprised you like it, Cat. It's very Floridian, it's inspired by the Breakwater in Miami Thank you every one for the compliments. I'm quite happy with it, especially since it's not like anything I ever build.

Beautiful entries everyone!


Unluckily life has been a bit too hectic and I was unable to build anything for this contract, which leaves me out of the competition.
But I'm glad to see everyone else came which such wonderful ideas!
