CAS Contests 2013: 05 - Resort Wear Collection

The Situation:
Thanks to the creative Simmers in this forum, the survivors from Gilligan's Island have finally been brought safely home to Island Paradise.  And after all those decades on an isolated lonely island, what's first on the agenda?  A shopping trip, of course!  New clothes!

Your Task:
What will the castaways - and other shoppers looking for a resort wardrobe - find in the exclusive clothing shops of Island Paradise?  Sims are flocking to the new resort town, eager to take part in all it has to offer.  Your task is to design the perfect resort wear collection, using only items available in Stuff Packs and Expansion Packs - no Store items or Custom Content.  Your collection may include up to six outfits suitable for resort wear.  Will your collection focus on a particular age group?  Will you focus on swimwear, formal attire or some other category or will you include garments of different types?  Will your collection be geared toward men, women, or both?  You are the designer.  The creative decisions are yours.  You may use any suitable-aged Sims to model your collection.  What matters in this contest is the clothing collection, not the models.  Of course, presentation is important.  You will want to find the right name for your collection and to show the garments as attractively as possible.

Screenshot Notes for this Contest:  The usual limit of 10 screenshots in your entry thread applies.  You may choose to use fewer screenshots if you wish.  Because the focus is on the clothes and not the Sim in this contest, you don't need to worry about having the usual close-up views.  You can take your screenshots in whatever way best shows off the clothing.  It's your choice whether to take the pictures in CAS or in a naturalistic setting.  Keep in mind that the screenshots should not include CC or store content other than registration rewards or other free items.

Also, remember you can post only one screenshot in this thread.  I know one screenshot probably will not show your whole collection.  That's ok.  Think of this thread as the cover of your catalogue - you can't show everything, so you will need to decide which screenshot best represents your collection.

How to Upload your Outfits:  People can choose to upload each outfit individually (6 or more links, depending on whether you have full outfits or separate tops and bottoms).  OR, you can choose one of the Sims from a brand-new Sunset Valley game, put the clothes on that Sim (without making over the Sim), and upload the Sim (one link, or possibly a couple of links).  The idea would be that the SV Sim is your "sales representative" who will deliver the clothes.  If your collection cannot all fit on one Sim (eg, you have Male and Female clothes, or you have 6 of one type of garment), you can use more than one SV Sim.  The reason for an un-made over SV Sim is that they are Sims we all have, and this contest is about the clothes, not the Sims.  The "sales representative" does not have to be the Sim/s used in the screenshots (those are your models).  You can show the clothes on any model/s you want.  Just say at the bottom of your entry "Our sales representative Emma Hatch (or whoever) will bring the clothes to your house."

Please note there have been a couple of additions to the contest information/rules above. The information on screenshots and uploading outfits was added in response to messages from ladybug53 - many thanks for the feedback, ladybug!  I hope this new information will make it easier to upload your collection.  As always, if there are any questions, feel free to contact me.

No, you absolutely don't have to have IP or any other expansion pack to take part in this contest.  Base game is all you need.

Ok, then i will participate. And why the contest rules link you have given is not working. Whenever i enter, it says the topic is broken or like that.

[ladybug53]

This is what she/he was referring to . It looks like the link is not working.

The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you.

Edit : this is the message I got when I clicked on it too .

[Schipperke]

Sorry about the problem with the link.  It should work now.  Thanks for letting me know about it.

Paradise Goth Resort Wear

Is your teen-aged daughter threatening to boycott the family vacation because she "won't be caught dead in pastel?" Has your husband declared that no daughter of his will "parade around on the beach in a black bikini?" Do you feel that maybe you should have arranged to go to Antarctica?

Here at Paradise Goth, we believe that black can be both fashionably and comfortably cool. Our lightweight, breathable fabric is coated with an environmentally-friendly substance that blocks UV rays making black as perfect a choice for summer as any other color.



Our model and sales representative, Lisa Bunch, will be happy to bring the collection to your home. You can view the entire collection here.

Please re-read the rules at the top of this thread.  You are not allowed to upload your Simself in this contest.  Only Sims from a brand-new Sunset Valley game can be uploaded.  This contest is about the clothes, not the Sims.  I am removing the link from your contest thread because it contains your Simself.  If you want to use your Simself in the pictures as a model, that's ok, but you cannot upload that Sim into this contest.  You will have to either put the clothes on a SV Sim and upload that one, or you can upload each garment separately.  If you aren't sure how to do this, send me a PM with your questions.
