io9 – Win The Sims 3 and $250 dollars in a Sims Sci-Fi Contest

I know you’re just getting the game (others may be waiting a few days) but there is still time for the following contest – it ends June 9th.  io9 is holding a sci-fi Sims contest.  They want you to use The Sims 3 and put your characters in a sci-fi setting.  The winner with the best design will be awarded with The Sims 3 (why?) as well as $250 dollars to spend in an online store of your choice (this is worth it).

Here are the rules:

1. Create a scifi scenario in The Sims, and take screengrabs (no more than 8) or movies (no more than 2) from it to show us your scene or story.
2. Include a written description explaining the story and how you made it happen.
3. Submit your screengrabs and description to scifisimscontest@io9.com by midnight PST on June 9.
