Default UnOfficial [AC:CF] House of the Month

I guess I'll revive this topic again for the changing AC:CF crowd here at WiiUsers.

Basically, just send in five pictures of your house. Two of the basement, two of the ground floor and just the one for the top floor. Three judges (who can also apply here) will then judge each house using the mark scheme below and the winner will be able to proudly change their wallpaper to 'WU HOTM WINNER', although it won't put you in a great place for next month.

As I said, we have a specific Mark Scheme. HRA scores mean absolutely nothing here, so don't send in pictures of your house filled with Gracie's finest wares and every lucky item in the game and expect an easy ride, because, to put it bluntly, it's just not going to happen.

Mark Scheme (all categories out of 5)
Use of Space - how have you used the space available? This will be particularly tricky on the top floor. Have you crammed in too much furniture? Is it too sparse? Is it inconvenient to get around?

Co-ordination - Do the colours match or clash? Does the furniture match?

Creativity - Have you thought outside the box? Have you created your own theme? (Making your own wallpaper and carpet could help here, but only if it looks good.)

Judge's Five - Basically, each judge just gives their own mark out of 5 regarding whether they like or dislike the room. No reasons need to be given, but some opinions on how to improve wouldn't hurt.

Each room will be marked out of 20 as so, and after being judged by three judges, each house will get a mark out of 180, and then into a percentage for easy consumption. The judges may also give comments on how to improve the house and what doesn't work.

How to take pictures properly

How to do it properly:

Basement or Ground Floor

One at the bottom, one at the top. Easy peasy. Everything's in nicely, nothing is obscured too much, everybody's happy.

Top Floor

Just one photo needed here. Walk around until you get a spot that gets everything in.

What not to do.

Don't zoom in on your rare/expensive items. It obscures everything else, does nothing for your score, and makes you look like an arrogant dick.


Point your remote away from the screen so you don't get the pointer and the menus in the way. Also, move slightly before taking the picture to get the clock off the screen.

That's about it for now. Get decorating and good luck!
