Re: BNTM Season 12 - Q&A
So...I have a question before I work on my sign-up. So I'm working on our slower family computer. If I have to start a round or two on it, my personal computer SHOULD be at least ready for round 1 but you never know, would it be okay to switch halfway through. The reason I ask is A) the image quality is a bit better because my computer is a lot "beefier" and B) I have a few default replacements on it that I don't want to push this computer into running. It already isn't happy with my skin defaults. They're mostly little like eyes, but I want to make sure I wouldn't be cheating by switching over to the better computer and replacements halfway through. Depending on the answer I may have some serious thinking to do and I'm not usually comfortable waiting til the last minute to make a decision.
Thanks for your time.

It's absolutely fine to swap computers halfway through! The only thing that has to stay constant is the model you use and the sims version (TS2/3/4 etc).

Oh thank you, Thai!!!
I wanted to put a character I created for a project on display a little before starting said project. And now I'll be able to without worry! Thank you again

Re: BNTM Season 12 - Q&A
I think I asked this question last year, but can we use heirs/spares from legacies?!

Re: BNTM Season 12 - Q&A
2 questions - can they be from a story?
and what, exactly, does this mean: "If you'd like to sign up for this season of BNTM, you just have to include the following in a post below, to the theme of If I Wrote An Autobiography...!"?
The theme, that is.
I'd love to participate but I'm stumped on what this theme means...?

I don't think that'd be a problem. Thai, said that legacy spares and heirs are fine, so I think having a sim from a story would be fineLivvielove wrote:2 questions - can they be from a story?

I took that to mean that the pictures are taken in a place that has special meaning or is a big part of your model's life.

They can be from a story, yes! You don't need to make a special model for the competition, if someone wanted they could make Sandy Bruty a modelLivvielove wrote:2 questions - can they be from a story?

Just after the name I describe the theme as "Use these photos to give us glimpses into your model's backstory - how were they bought up? Where? Tell us everything!", but basically it's a roundabout way of saying 'give us a short bio about your model and capture the bio in the shots'. Sorry for the confusion, the next rounds have much clearer themes.

I am thinking about joining in on this but I have one question first.
Do you have to use the same model for every round?

Okay, thank you Ani-Mei for answering
This will help me narrow down which sim I want to use.

Re: BNTM Season 12 - Q&A
Do we have a word limit? I'm doing up my entry soon, but currently it feels a little like a short essay XD I'm gonna trim it down, but I want to know how much is too much?

@DSLady:
There is no limit on the amount of words you want to use to describe how your model deals with the round's theme. If it's for an intro round though you might want to limit the wording. After all it's just an intro round and if you really want to talk about her/him then you can spread the story out over the rounds, sort of like an ongoing story.

Re: BNTM Season 12 - Q&A
So, quick question. I got an idea for one of the pictures in my entry. Would it be okay if, for just that one image, for my model to be in a different occult state? I'm more talking about ghost than anything. Especially since my model will also be technically in the image in her actual state, but the focus will be on ghost Posey, Is this okay?
This would only be once and it would not be permanent. Just a one time thing.

I don't see an issue with the change for one photo, it could be interesting to see. I want to know how or why she got into that state for the one photo though too.

Re: BNTM Season 12 - Q&A
You can do literally anything you want with your models, dw. If you wanna turn your model into a mermaid part-way through the competition, it'll be fine. We're judging on each entry, there's no overarching rules on what you can or can't do, as long as it's within the bounds of good taste i.e. don't have your model suddenly become a racist or something.

Re: BNTM Season 12 - Q&A
*dig toe in dirt* Thanks. I just get really nervous about things like that. But I finally nailed down my third image with an idea and that brings the whole entry together. I didn't want to do anything wrong so I though to ask first.

Re: BNTM Season 12 - Q&A
"Be creative with our broad themes" - how creative is too creative to the point of getting off theme? I know that's a very broad question, but as if to make up for the absolute nothing I received for last round, my brain is teeming over with ideas and I'd like to know how far becomes too far away from the theme, before I stress myself stupid over it
Does that make any sense at all?? :S
