    @lilypadmeulin
    Aww, dang! Bummer she kept sneaking pieces of it. Maybe should've just thrown it away? I commend you for giving Amelia full autonomy, I could never do that when playing only one Sim. I tried it with Cale at first, but drove me nuts how he kept trying to cancel my commands and run off to Troll Teh Forums. 🙄 Good luck keeping Amelia from Jenny's fate, I hope it works out better for her. I always have my Spellcaster Sims learn Practical Magic first, it's my favorite of the magic abilities. Ah, okay sounds good, can't wait to read them. :)

    By popular demand...well, by request from two others. :joy:

    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. :smile:


    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.

    @LegacySims2017 Thanks, added him to my game!

    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.

    @SoulGal7 -
    Less/lighter makeup (especially around the eyes). Also, for the hairstyle, if you have Get Together, this one is close to the cc version.

    January 3 - Week 1 - Tuesday - I Want Candy

    2023-DIDNT-MAKE-IT-AND-PEED-SELF.png
    The next morning before school, Elfie took out the parsley and chrysanthemum from his backpack. He thought he might plant them, but knew nothing about gardening. He remembered watching the forest elves working in the greenhouse at the North Pole, and they basically just stuck some seeds in the earth, watered them and the seeds grew into plants. Well, there was more to it than that, because he had heard they also talked to the plants, but, he decided to give it a try and planted them. It was the start of a garden, and Elfie seemed to enjoy gardening, too.

    STARTING-THE-GARDEN-2023.png

    2023-GREENEST-OF-THUMBS-ELFIE-DAY-1.png

    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!

    WEDS-PLAYING-IN-MUD-2023.png

    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.

    MON-WK-1-A-WET-MORNING-ELFIE-2023.png

    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.

    2023-INVITES-A-FRIEND-AND-FALLS-ASLEEP.png

    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.

    2023-ELFIES-FIRST-TEEN-FRIEND.png

    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!

    SCHOOKL-IS-SO-BORING.png

    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!

    prom-as-friends-with-kaori.png

    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.

    2023-WORKING-ON-A-SCHOOL-PROJECT-ON-HIS-LOT-DAY-2.png

    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.

    2023-ELFIE-WORKS-ON-A-SCHOOL-PROJECT-ASLEEP-DAY-2.png

    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.

    2023-great-project-i-guess.png

    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.

    ELFIE-DONT-YOU-EAT-THAT-YELLOW-SNOW.png

    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.

    applying-acne-med.png

    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.

    elfie-at-onsen-seleping.png

    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.

    @SoulGal7
    Maybe the celebrities were secretly there to meet Elfie. :blush: I was hoping you had the High School Years pack and we'd see Elfie go to school. That was neat that Yamachan gave Elfie a Father Winter Simmie. I hope he kept it and didn't sell that one.


    @lilypadmeulin
    Amelia needs to work those muscles. :lol: She's playing russian roulette now with those Simmie machines.


    @permanentrose
    Look at that fish Flora caught! I bet she even impressed herself there. I think Kiyoshi already has a crush on her. Hopefully she'll put her trust in him and he won't try to take advantage of her. Especially if she decides to tell him of her amnesia.


    @Carebear92
    Dang. Riley is living it tough right now. Poor guy isn't getting much sleep I bet. He's got hopes and dreams. That's what is keeping him going.

    Dante Morningstar
    Age: 16
    Season: Fall
    no-skills.jpg?resize=1024%2C601&ssl=1
    January 3: No Simoleons and No Skills

    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
    1. Dante will have collections of all the things he finds that can be displayed. If he receives duplicates of an item he has already collected, he will sell them for simoleons.

    Mt. Komorebi was filled with gorgeous scenery and rich culture and tradition. Even if Flora couldn't recall who she was, she was making new, beautiful memories and gaining life experience that would shape who'd she become.
    dfsuT4s.png

    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.
    Mex8tFQ.png

    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.

    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.

    Babs is determined to catch some fish. I think we all need to take lessons from Flora! lol

    @LegacySims2017 - Jan 3
    It's nice that Dante is starting in Copperdale and he is going through high school like regular teens. lol Of course, he does have that gorgeous nightclub to fall back on, which I see he is using to get some piano skills up. Great idea.

    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.

    @permanentrose - Jan 3
    Love the Daily Photo of the hip bump of Flora with Yamachan. It looks like Flora is doing so well fishing and collecting. And look at her mushroom row on her lot. And I guess she had enough to purchase a firepit, and nearly set herself on fire! Egads! Good idea to visit the Itos to get some better rest, but oh no...Naoki...oh gee. Let's hope that this isn't going to be a trend for Flora if she stays with any other families for an overnighter! lol Well, at least she met Grim...so far the first challenge sim to do so! lol I know what you mean about the neighborhood stories. I had played a week ahead and then realized I hadn't put Iggy Pancakes in the game. I went to do so and Eliza was gone and Bob had this sad moodlet about death. So, I did a little cheat, and re-loaded another Eliza from the gallery, made her the surviving Bob's spouse and moved Iggy in. Everyone is happy now...well, maybe not Bob. I still have neighborhood stories turned on, but I should probably go in-game and turn it off as well. Oh, challenge sim spottings! Woot! Hi Amelia and Elfie! The sim with the pink hair looks familiar. Since I had played ahead, challenge sims won't be spotted for awhile, but I moved them all into the same house in Mt. Komorebi.

    Haha yeah, I guess it is kind of cool she was the first sim to meet the Reaper. She did introduce herself before he left. The fire pit is actually on the park lot by her house, I added a few convenient items to community lots. When I first had neighborhood stories on, I had a few unexpected deaths that I rectified as well haha. The sim with pink hair is my edit of Dela Ostrow, one of the sims featured on the basegame pack cover :)

    Rest of my comments coming later :)

    @Karababy52

    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!
  • lilypadmeulinlilypadmeulin Posts: 1,625 Member
    @permanentrose

    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!

    January 3rd - Amelia Whitmore

    12-08-22_11-32-44_AM.png?width=730&height=584

    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?

    12-08-22_11-35-16_AM.png?width=730&height=584

    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!

    12-08-22_11-38-04_AM.png?width=730&height=584

    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!

    12-08-22_11-40-39_AM.png?width=730&height=584

    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!

    12-08-22_11-42-14_AM.png?width=730&height=584

    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!
  • permanentrosepermanentrose Posts: 3,523 Member
    @lilypadmeulin
    Whoops, I misread that Amelia was Jenny's great-granddaughter, sorry, but still very cool to have a meaningful sim be her predecessor. Amelia's diary entry's add a nice touch to your posts! Her house is coming along quite nicely, I've played like 10 days out now and Flora's house is still the most pathetic thing haha.

    @Ellupelluellu
    Flora has been having some days that are really just fishing too, I keep combining more than one day of play together haha. Looking forward to seeing more of Bab's achievements

    @SoulGal7
    Elfie started out so strong with that garden and having a splash in the mud but the poor guy's day quickly went downhill. Always fun to see how you incorporate the premades into your gameplay. Will Elfie be pursuing any romances this year? Perhaps magical Gemma will be a contender. So nice that all those adults finished Elfie's project for him while he got some sleep haha.

    @LegacySims2017
    Nice start with Dante, I love that he'll be keeping one of every item he collects, very neat idea. Looking forward to seeing your screenshots of Copperdale too, as I don't own that pack as of yet

    I usually get an hour lunch break and it turned out to be a nice time to catch up on comments today, perhaps I can make a habit out of this :)

    Hi, I've been playing Sims for years but have never participated in the forums before. I saw this challenge and made an account just to see if I could join, even though it's a little late. Never done anything like this before, but I love this idea!
    Just in case no one has told you today, you are loved. <3
