@GLovely1 : Was there no winner in the Week 14 challenge? I figured that real life had intruded on that announcement or did I miss the announcement?

MeowchaFrappe

@GLovely1 Thank you so much! I have about a week left so I may or may not be able to submit this round. But I will defintely try.

GLovely1

@NeoFelis22 Real life did intrude more than I'd have liked during week 14 but also there are some weeks that are for the fun and focus of story CAS creating. Basically to stretch our skills and continue sharing our creativity in a challenging way. In those weeks I feel like we're all winners Official winners are only named during prize round weeks 💜

@MeowchaFrappe Keep enjoying your vacation and if the new Spark'd challenge theme inspires you, go for it!

SIXTEENTH WEEKEND CHALLENGE!
🎉🎇 PRIZE ROUND 🎇🎉

Creative Direction & Rules:

This week is all about the destination, however, our focus will also be about the ride our couple took to get there What that means is while you focus your entries on the best CAS styles for a themed destination wedding, also dream into being how your couple went from single to soul mates. As we know that description space barely gives us enough room to make our case but now I like to think that we've been training for this since the QCC kick-off week! Go on, I know you can squeeze in a brief get to know them story while also painting a picture of your sims dream wedding 💜 According to EA our sims need to represent a destination wedding in a given theme listed as: Beach, Rustic, Jungle, Spooky, Desert/Casino.

There are also criteria that EA will use to judge so if you want to win their Spark'd challenge I recommend you take a few minutes to read all the details in this link regarding the "Stylist" category.

Please include the hashtag #GLovelysQCC [b]AND[/b] one or both of these hashtags, #sparkddestination #SparkdChallenges in your description before you upload to the gallery 💜 Also, make sure you use the special tilted plumbob upload when you share to the gallery. Edit Once you click the new tilted plumbob to upload the game will automatically add the additional tags

Deadline ~ Saturday 8/1 12:00 PM MST however it's very helpful to share your creations early so I can have some awesomely created households to nominate

Rules:

1. Your description should include a get to know them bio along with details on your sim couple's theme wedding planning, actual happenings at the wedding, what the venue looks like, etc. I always say paint a picture with your words & you always succeed!
2. Remember to go for the "WOW" factor in look, fashion & overall imaginative creativity!
3. Style all outfits to reflect your sim(s) story/personality with the biggest focus on the first outfit. Theme matching wedding attire is a must in the first outfit!
4. NoCC and no defaults (defaults replace the original Maxis skin/eyes but are not officially tagged as CC).
5. Only Maxis poses.
6. Re-uploaded entries, in other words entries copied from other simmers creations, will be disqualified.
7. Have a blast creating for our gallery and forum friends!

Feel free to post pictures, screenshots (limit 4) here and the link to your creation in the gallery here too! Please tag #GLovelysQCC #sparkddestination #SparkdChallenges if you post on Twitter or Instagram!

🎉🎇 PRIZE ROUND 🎇🎉

Nifty Knitting will definitely be one of the top prizes this round and knowing me I'm sure there will be others Best of luck to you all and happy SPARK'D CAS creating Lovelies 💜

NeoFelis22

@GLovely1 , thank you for answering my question. I considered that as well after I posted, but decided it didn't matter if I added that possibility or not. 🙂

Love the new theme @GLovely1! I've submitted my Sims for SparkD challenge yesterday & have been using Casino as a theme, since they do have a few limited specific themes that we can choose for the current SparkD challenge.

Now, for your challenge, I do have a specific theme that I would like to do, which is not one of the SparkD challenge! Definitely will work on this even harder because Nifty Knitting is the stake!

MeowchaFrappe

@GLovely1 Oooh. This theme is defintely intriguing and something of interest. I totally plan on entering this round.

Romance is one of my favorite things ever. Even though I haven't met my soulmate yet, I'm n love with the idea of love.

GLovely1

Thanks for your energy around this one @MeowchaFrappe and @xamira99 .. I'm so excited to see how these Spark'd challenges will run and very happy to see some of you already submitting awesome entries 💜 For this week's QCC you can for fun create your new theme idea @xamira99 but to be included in the prize round all entries need to be connected to this new, intriguing Spark'd "stylist" themed challenge too 💜 I read EA's rules and you can make multiple entries but not re-share the same creation. I hope you have more energy to do another EA theme for this challenge too! 💜 Have a blast creating!

I hope you enjoyed your vacation @MeowchaFrappe & I totally agree with you about all these entries looking amazing! You all constantly push and challenge yourselves each week and it's a beautiful thing for me too see. I appreciate your thoughtfulness & effort! I'm so excited to see who wins the stuff packs 💜 The judging will begin shortly and typically takes the weekend to finalize winners. Look for that announcement soon!

I'll be posting the "official" Weekend 16 creative directions soon but if you all want to get a jump start I'm going to piggy back on the new Sims Spark'd challenge theme of course! I feel like it's a total must for us to support the energy around this new Sims adventure. Plus, I think you all can show off just how good CAS sims storytelling can be in the gallery. For more info and to get started now, check out this link SPARK'D We'll go with the "stylist" category. When you upload to the gallery, click on the new upload tool shown here [img][/img]
and also include one or both of these hashtags, #sparkddestination #SparkdChallenges along with our #GLovelysQCC 💜

I'm excited that you finally get to share images @blue_sky 💜 For some reason the imgur ones you posted aren't working. I'm wondering if you copied the image BBCode from imgur? Also, after you copy that code from imgur you'll need to click on the picture tool in this comment box here [img][/img] 💜

Thanks always for making this thread so lively & creative! More news coming soon

Hmm, I did that. Can you still not see them? 🤔 I can see them. Does anyone else can't see them?

pammiechick

I have a question...for the destination wedding, should the wedding outfits be in the formal area or the first outfit? Sorry if that's explained elsewhere!

GLovely1

No, I'm so sorry @blue_sky I still don't see your imgur images .. I'm not sure why they are broken for me. Can @flash5 @nightlioness or anyone else here check @blue_sky last post on this thread to see if her images show up for you guys? Thanks so much! 💜

Hiya @pammiechick Thanks for this question! I'm going to edit my post a bit now for clarification but you should please style your sims wedding attire in the first "everyday" outfit and then feel free to duplicate the same formal attire in the formal area. For the Spark'd challenge, EA wants to see the wedding clothes in the first outfit 💜

NeoFelis22

The images from @blue_sky were showing but aren't now. I know they were visible two days ago. I hope that helps in tracking down the problem.

Edited to add the last time that I'm certain that the pictures were showing.

nightlioness

@blue_sky It looks like the images may have broken. It states that they no longer exist.

@GLovely1 I jumped the gun and submitted my Spark'd entry before seeing the rules of the new QCC theme! Feel free to check them out here:

https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/DE536D59C87911EA8E761B3C63FBD266?category=all&searchtype=ea_origin_id&sortby=newest&time=all&searchquery=divanthesimmer&max=50&maxis=false

Bio: When Abigail met Richard, she thought she hit the jackpot: a wealthy, older gentleman looking for a young trophy wife. Soon they will tie the knot at their lavish casino wedding, but Abigail's getting cold feet. They say what happens in Starlight Boulevard stays in Starlight Boulevard, but will that be Richard waiting forever for his bride? 

GLovely1

I'll for sure check out that entry @divanthesimmer but go ahead and make another one please to include my tag too. It's necessary to keep them all under the GLovelysQCC tag too so the judges can find all the qualifying entries for the prize rounds 💜 I hope that's not too much trouble and I've checked EA's rules and you can enter more than once but not with the same creation. Go for it again please if you want to be included in the prize round judging 👍

Thanks so much for checking @blue_sky images for us @NeoFelis22 and @nightlioness ~ It's puzzling what could have happened there. Maybe try to edit your post and redo the image uploads @blue_sky please?

Thanks, @GLovely1! I will try to submit another one specifically for this challenge then!

pammiechick

Thanks for clarifying!!!

GLovely1

You're welcome to you both @pammiechick and @divanthesimmer I'm excited to see your entries this week and I of course extended the deadline this time in honor of this first inaugural Spark'd challenge too! Keep on theme creating on! 💜

My entry: The Siren's Song

Bio: Hamuera can't quite recall the day he met the love of his life, the beautiful, breathtaking Serena. He only remembers hearing a captivating song from far in the ocean, crashing his boat and waking up to Serena's face...

pammiechick

When I tried to upload it through the sparks challenges diamond, it said I couldn’t use the #sparkdChallenges hashtag. Why did you tell us to use it?

Oops! I see your edit now. Thx!

GLovely1

I didn't know for sure until my friend tried it out @pammiechick I didn't expect them to automatically add those hashtags to our creations when we used the official challenge upload. I did already strike that out of my original post when I found out. Sorry for the mis-information 💜

Bravo @divanthesimmer for captivating me in Serena's siren's song & these gorgeous island wedding screenshots! I'm happy to see them, thank you!

Challenge: 16
Entry: Zara and Maven
Story: Zara and Maven met at a classical music concert where they fell in love with the music... and each other. A few years later, they decide to return to the place where the concert took place (and where they shared their first kiss) in order to recreate their favorite photo. Little did Zara realize that Maven was actually planning to propose! Now, these two vampires are getting married in the spooky wedding of their dreams. Here's a link to the Gothic Church that hosted their first concert and where they will be holding their wedding (at night, of course).

You're welcome @divanthesimmer! 💜 I loved seeing them on twitter tonight too!

@icanhassims Thank you for entering! The level of thought and creativity you gave to this challenge and to even make a build made me go search for this gif!

Got it @GLovely1 ! I'll save the theme that I want for the next time. I'll change my theme for this week submission based on the current SparkD themes.
