Here is a link to download Dante Morningstar: [ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KThBfHZHF8TzyVUgg7QBmZWp97PcMhiw/view?usp=sharing ]
(I have included the tray files and the mods/cc used. Extract the file. Put the files not listed in the Mods folder in Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Tray folder. You can rename the Mods folder in the .rar to something like Dante Morningstar and drop it in Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods folder. Or you can move over the files however you like. If you love collecting custom content, there might be duplicates in there. Add the Mods/cc from the extracted folder however you like. The features, game mods and hair folders will get your Dante Morningstar to look how he is supposed to look. The clothing you can add or remove at your own discretion.)
Edit: Wings not included. If you want the wings, let me know!
@Karababy52 - If you could add the above to the first post listing all the Challenge stories and Challenge Sims downloads. Please add what's in the parenthesis as well.
I will not be adding him to my website/blog at this time. He is specifically for those reading this thread and/or taking part in this Challenge.
For anyone who wants Flora, @Ellupelluellu mentioned that it was difficult to download all her CC from the way I had it uploaded before, so I put into a zipfile which is on my first post now. Linking it right here too. If you don't want Flora's CC, there's a version of her on the gallery that's completely CC free. There is also a CC version on the gallery as well, my name there is permanentrose537.
Looks perfect!

January 3 - Week 1 - Tuesday - I Want Candy
The day was overcast, and sometime during the night, it had also rained. There was a big puddle on his lot, and since Elfie needed some fun, well, what better way to have fun than to play in the mud. Oh yeah!
That was certainly lots of fun, but now Elfie had to get washed up and ready for school. So, he headed to the Hazakura Lounge to use the facilities. Yesterday, one of the students at high school told him about a place called the Sutefani Onsen Bathhouse, in the Yukimatsu neighborhood, which had showers. Elfie loved showers, and especially loved to sing in the shower, and thought he would head to the Onsen after Drama Club.
As he left for school, it had started to rain and he waved to the mail carrier as he ran off. The school day was long, and Elfie decided to invite a classmate over after school. Her name was Gemma Charm, and...oh gosh, when she arrived, Elfie promptly collapsed on the ground in front of her. Gemma didn't think anything of it and figured that Elfie was just taking a power nap. Yep, that was it.
When Elfie woke up, he chatted with Gemma a bit and found out that she loved to laugh and play jokes. Elfie immediately liked her and felt there was something "magical" about her. They took a photo together, and Elfie was so thrilled that Gemma was now his first teen friend.
A bunch of his other classmates visited (Kiyoshi Ito, Kaori Nishidake and Kevin Puri-an exchange student), and suggested they do their homework together. Elfie thought that was a great idea, and they went over to his favorite bench, and oh gee...not again. I guess that the homework was rather boring. And...oh gosh...he never made it to Drama Club. Oops!
But the good news is that Kaori Nishidake asked him to prom, which, as she explained to Elfie, was a big dance. Oh yeah! He was in!
Elfie really needed some rest, but that project that he got at school yesterday, still hadn't been done. So, he attempted to work on it and rounded up some passer-by to help him. Gemma also stayed and helped with the project, too.
Well, I am not sure how much work Elfie actually did on the project, but it somehow got finished. Probably by all his helpers...because...you guessed it...Elfie had another power nap.
And it must have been all the loud clapping that woke Elfie up. He thanked everyone and decided to head to the Sutefani Onsen Bathhouse to take a shower, use the facilities and maybe find a more comfortable place to sleep.
Elfie rode the shuttle to the mountain, and as he walked up a short pathway to the Onsen, he...um...well...he didn't quite make it.
Don't you eat that yellow snow, Elfie!
Elfie's needs were really in the red. He entered the Onsen, took a shower, then headed to the restroom and used the facilities. After eating a piece of fruitcake, he felt a bit better. But he was still tired. Things were certainly different here in the Simworld, and maybe Elfie was tired because he wasn't eating properly. That was it! Elfie's diet was lacking. He had to get back to the Elf Diet and eat from the "four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns and syrup." Elfie knew that if he did that, he would feel so much better.
Elfie found a couch near a fireplace and it looked so inviting. He sat down and thought about the appraiser who had told him that he might have a buyer for some of his celebrity autographs and would call him tomorrow. That would be good because then maybe Elfie could find a nice little rental cottage that had a comfortable bed to sleep in.
As he sat there, he listened to the strains of some Japanese music floating through the air. It sounded so relaxing that he laid down and fell asleep. Sweet dreams, Elfie.

Notes:
Gemma Charm is a Maxis pre-made sim who lives in Glimmerbrook. She is a goofball and an art lover. She is also a Spellcaster, so no wonder Elfie thought she was "magical".
"the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns and syrup" is a quote from the movie, Elf, 2003.
"I Want Candy" is a song title by the group, Strangeloves, 1965. The song title refers to a girl named Candy.
Elfie was in such bad shape today and kept collapsing and falling asleep. Naps on the bench are just not working for him. And then he peed himself walking towards the Onsen. He was just so tired, so, not a very productive day for Elfie at all.

(100 Bae Challenge)
https://legacysims.net/?page_id=10908
Age: 16
Season: Fall
Dante’s father and mother drops him off at the Lux Nightclub. The penthouse is located above the club. Lucifer figured Dante could figure out how to live if he was given a place to stay when needed and clothes in a closet. But Dante would need to learn to obtain simoleons on his own and to build skills to live a life of how he wanted.
His parents mention they will be watching him from afar, but will not interfere with his life choices and allow him to experience and create a life path of his own. They were willing to visit him anytime he wishes. All he would have to do is call for them.

Notes
Living off the land wasn't so bad either. There was something innate in her that remembered all the basics to fishing and gardening, and she wondered if they had been skills she had in whatever past life she'd forgotten.
There were other things she needed more practice with.
Still, she managed.
Her memories still evaded her, and she found that she was especially curious about the scar on her cheek.
It was getting exhausting sleeping on park benches though, so she decided to take Kiyoshi up on his offer to stay at his place.
Oh no...
OH NO.
Well, let's leave the Ito family some space to grieve. There's plenty here to keep Flora busy.

Also, it looks like there's something in the water in Windenburg
I turned off neighborhood stories and have my MCCC settings set to not generate random pregnancies, so I honestly don't know where all these pregnancies are coming from. I did have NS on briefly when getting this save ready before realizing it, so I guess there's a chance I'm still discovering pregnancies from that brief mishap. Surprises are fun sometimes though, so I'll looking forward to seeing the Fyres and Bjergsen babies haha.

@LegacySims2017 - Jan 3
The best way I found to make simoleons in Copperdale is through Trendi. It is ridiculously easy, once you start getting popular to sell an outfit for $1 million simoleons or more. I played a short challenge called the Educated Teen Run-away Challenge and made a lot of simoleons that way. There are also a lot of youtube videos about Trendi and how to get the outfit to a higher hype level. I did a Tips for Trendi if you want to have a look at it.

Rest of my comments coming later
I'll definitely see how it goes with autonomy, but I might need to turn it off to get her to soak in the hot springs. I'm really having trouble with that no matter how hard I try...And yeah, Jenny definitely got squished A LOT, so hopefully I've learned a thing or two since then. Practical Magic is definitely very useful in the long run.
@Ellupelluellu
Babs is working hard with sorting her own dinners, it seems!
@SoulGal7
Poor Elfie, he's really having a rough time! Luckily he's found a friend or two, and seems to be picking himself up a bit. But still, it's a rough life for a young elf. Sleeping on benches and sofas is sometimes the norm for this challenge, but it does get better!
@LegacySims2017
It's a gamble with those machines, but it can really pay off! I'll post my day 3 soon - I think it was around then that it really paid off, but I might be misremembering. Dante's doing well, and I hope he starts building up his wealth in no time!
Daughters of Hesperia
OH NO! Poor Mr Ito, what a horrible accident! Flora seems to be doing well despite the death, and I love that she's got a little garden set up! I hope things keep going well, and I'm glad to see Amelia make a cameo!

Dear Diary,
People are pretty kind here. I’m meeting my neighbours, and they’re all pretty chill people. School today wasn’t bad either, though we have to finish this giant project and I’m not really too keen on finding the time between everything else I have to do. Dad said that Nanny Nia was always good at gardening, but the weather here is so cold even though it’s spring already. I’m spending as much time at the local lounge as I can, because it’s nice and warm.
This might be harder than I thought, but I’m not giving up. Whitmores don’t back down! Plus, there’s a little place nearby that’s abandoned, and I asked around. It doesn’t look like anyone owns it.
As usual, we started off the day by tempting Jenny's Curse again. I know, I know...but the machines can really pay out sometimes! Besides, this time, they actually did, as I believe this was the day I got a golden Medieval Grim, judging by the upgrades I made later. So...all's well that ends well?
After that, it was time for some early morning homework. Sorry, Amelia, but we have to keep those grades up for when you inevitably need to take a day off school for your poor needs!
As for those upgrades I mentioned, we now have a toilet AND a shower. Can you believe it? I'm extremely happy, though it's not exactly luxurious. Amelia's been working hard, nearly getting squashed and all, and it's absolutely paid off!
And now, time for bed. I think she was exhausted from school, and I can't blame her given how early she was up to get those funds. Sorry, Amelia!
So, yes, we have a sort of functioning house now! I'm pretty proud of it, despite it being a square with not much to it. It'll get better over time, trust me! See you tomorrow!
