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:
- 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.
- Include a written description explaining the story and how you made it happen.
- Submit your screengrabs and description to scifisimscontest@io9.com by midnight PST on June 9.
