    @Pope John Peeps II: Yeah, I had to read that particular interchange a few times just to make sense of who was saying what. Those descriptions need to be spaced down so the speaker is written with their own actions, or it just gets confusing.

    @kagekiri: "No thanks to you." She stood up and started brushing herself off. He stood up and scowled at her.

    Ah, so you finally figured out all the many, many holes in your initial description then?

    @Charax: I didn't figure them out. Commenters pointed them out to me. For which I am profoundly grateful. Hopefully now I can give you some money. Or at least, one of you.

    Be more specific, please. How do we go about doing this? Are we allowed to use user-created content and skins? 'Cause, damn, I have a hilarious storyline going with Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp. PLEASE BE MORE SPECIFIC!

    Yes- could you please explain specifically what is allowed in creating/altering these images/videos?

    ie: Photoshop, 3d apps, 3rd party Sims mods, audio, etc...

    P.S. thanks!

    @John Hazard: Please try to stick with things you can actually do in the game. 3rd party mods are OK as long as they work in an actual game.

    Finally, a good tag banner for one of these themed weeks. The Killer Robots Week banner looked like something my teenage cousin with Photoshop cooked up in ComTech class (although Gizmodo's Machines Behaving Deadly banner was sublime)...

    I don't really understand this contest. Can I use modded Sims 2 content that I've downloaded from other creators? If so, do I need to credit those creators? Or is it more about creating an intriguing storyline and getting your Sims to do things that fit in the storyline?

    I think they mean using the Sims 1 and 2, for the contest. Prize is #3.

    Wait a moment...


    The contest requires you use a copy of The Sims to enter... and the prize is a copy of The Sims?

    @Dunny0: Yeah my thoughts exactly. Can I, like, enter with stick figure drawings? Or perhaps screengrabs from Sim City 2000? I think I remember the cheat code to make aliens invade...
