I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date! Well, I guess I'm not technically late although I did hope to get the Simsney news to you yesterday. Today is at least better than tomorrow and any later would surely fill us up with sorrow π I'm clearly delirious with exhaustion lol ... but still having fun and I'm happy to announce that the challenging job of judging your creative entries is done π
πππ Congratulations Queen of Grilled Cheese by @amp107 for winning The Sims 4 Expansion or Game Pack of your choice! πππ
The next 4 entries who placed in the top 5 are The Last HighTopp by @xamira99 , Aldina and the Magic Lamp by @ZebSims , Princess Aurida by @CatharinaSophia and Simsney's "Scarlet Hat" by @NeoFelis22 π Huge congratulations to you too! πππ I can't remember who needs to finish their stuff pack collection so look for a DM from me soon π
I have some awesome news from one of the winners of our Sixteenth Weekend challenge. A big shout out to @karisenchi for paying her win forward to @LaTalpaVolante π All the friendly, supportive generosity like this which I see shared between everyone here week after week keeps me inspired to challenge your creativity and shower you with gifts as often as I can π
Tomorrow I'll share your new challenge directions which were inspired by our fab forum family member @FrankieDanySIMS π Thanks for partnering up with me on this one and for being an honorary judge for it too!
Stay safe, have fun and happy creating always!
Congratulations to all the winners! Each entry was amazing!
Big Congrats to the Big Winners!!! This one must have been difficult to judge! SO Many wonderful entries!!! Such amazing talent and some major creative entries!!
Aww, you guys are the best! Thank you for sharing celebratory cheers to our latest winning crew π I just might have to bring this Simsney theme back someday since it was such a hit. Plus, I was working so much I didn't get a chance to create and play! I'll fix that this weekend though with our new challenge theme ...
Rockabilly style is a wild clash of two. At first they donβt seem like they should fit together but the rock of the 50βs proved to us they do! Iβm talking about βrockβ and βhillbillyβ twisted into the coolest looks that had us hooked, then and still now. It lives on with each decade inspiring each generation to try on this brand of fun. This style has roots in country swing music, rhythm & blues and certainly rock & roll. Elvis with his rebellious pelvis will always be the reigning rockabilly king, but for me, a movie and itβs star made this style iconic ~ Rebel Without a Cause & James Dean ~ Yep, go ahead, feel free to swoon and scream lol π
Your challenge, in addition to creating this iconic style on each of your sims, is to craft a story thatβs as rebellious as this hip, cool cat style. Feel free to be inspired by a movie, a song, an image or an attitude then write up a story that puts us in the rockabilly mood. You could include rebellious drama, teen angst or even a βgreasersβ vs. βsocialsβ conflict (from The Outsiders movie). These are only suggestions though and now @FrankiedanySIMS and I encourage you to set your sims loose and shout πΆ "c'mon baby, I'm all shook up!" πΆ
Please include the hashtag #GLovelysQCC when you share your entry to the gallery. If you have room in your description feel free to also tag #Rockabilly.
END DATE ~ Friday 9/4 12:00 PM MST however it's very helpful to share your creations early so I can have some awesomely created households to nominate Yes, I'm still hoping that the gallery will resume selecting and showcasing Maxis faves π
Rules:
Your description should include words, thoughts, dialog, song lyrics, rockabilly talk (yes, it's actually a thing lol) or anything that relates to rebelliousness or rock & roll cool.
You may have 1 to 8 sims in your household and pets are welcome.
Remember to go for the "WOW" factor in look, fashion & overall rockabilly creativity!
Style all outfits to reflect your sims rockabilly personality.
NoCC and no defaults (defaults replace the original Maxis skin/eyes but are not officially tagged as CC).
Only Maxis poses.
Re-uploaded entries, in other words entries copied from other simmers creations, will be disqualified.

Sounds like fun .. Putting my thinking cap on now!
Bio: Ol' Billy Boogie and Suzie Woogie are a Rockabilly couple who rocked a little too hard one night and woke up in a whole different era. Why does nobody have style and why's the music so bad?!
Thanks so much for your super sweet words about me @FrankieDanySIMS π Your rockabilly theme totally inspired my writing and I'm happy to see @xamira99@illusie@amp107@lisabee2 willingness to jump and jive into this iconic 50's style & vibe. I hope you find your homework for this challenge fun @xamira99
I'm quite positive inspiration will strike for all of you as it did already for @divanthesimmer ! The dichotomy of your black & white vs. color images is wonderfully effective here. Awesome idea with that and the concept of time travel always fascinates me. Looks like your rockabilly's got dropped into an 80's rave lol π Love them! Thanks for your creative entry Divan π
Hi rockers ... this is my entry for the challenge !!!
As @GLovely1 said in her post we shared our ideas for this challenge so my rockabilly REBEL household won't be in the competition for the sweet gift that Lisa is going to reward the winners... π₯°
I'm a huge Elvis and 50ies (but also 40ies / 60ies) fan and I'm looking forward to see your creations and your stories (the rebel drama suggested by Lisa surely will bring out the fun!!! )
Thanks again to Lisa for this team challenge and for making me a honour judgeβ€οΈπ
My rocker household entry: Rockabilly ALIEN Rocker / RockaBILLY rocker DOG (stand alone adult) ... available also as PUPPY
The super short story is shown under the 3rd and 4th picture (and it's the same on both)...
The name Alvise is the italian one for ELVIS π₯° and Alfacentauri comes from a constellation: a group of stars (that recently have been discovered to be in the number of three...) so it looked fine for an alien and for his 2 dogs ... that are in total of 3 π

Thank you, Lisa! I had a lot of fun with them!
BTW, a little tip for everyone: If you have Bowling Night, it's a great pack for this challenge's theme!
fiuuuuuu at last I managed to insert my rockers... The site was tricky and the page hopped out.... so I had to repeat the writing / links ... WOW @divanthesimmer you're the fastest challenger ever ... and with very cool pics in B&W and dancing pub in vintage style π

Challenge: 18 - Rockabilly Entry: Jana Cross Story:
Famed lead singer of Jana and the Kittycats, Jana feels most at home when on the stage surrounded by fans. Jana is her name and rockabilly is her game.
Jana and the Kittycats have entered the Battle of the Bands against their rivals, Julie and Puppydogs, an up-and-coming rockabilly band threatening to take Jana's title and with it her raison d'etre.
Will she persevere or has her winning streak finally come to an end. Only the fans will be able to decide. Images:
Now I see how much you love this rockabilly theme with your wonderfully creative and cool simmies @FrankieDanySIMS π Thanks again for sharing this great theme & your fun lovin' sims creations with us!
I love all of your fashions @icanhassims .. I even used that same formal dress and color for my simmie I just shared to announce this challenge in the gallery π Great minds think alike I loved the fun conflict band battle between Jana and the kittycats and Julie and the puppydogs lol so cute!
I'm looking forward to seeing your entries @MeowchaFrappe and @LSB12L π Have fun creating!
