I was, like, planning to enter this totally tubular challenge, but I've been having this, like, grody to the max, burning pain in my wrist running into my hand. It was, like, nerve pain on top of the, like, the tendon pain I've been, like, having. I stayed off the computer, and, like, it got a bit better, so, like, a week ago, I, like, finished putting, like, a few clothes on a sim that was, like, almost done, and, like, uploaded her to see if this pain was really gone. Not even! So I don't know if I'll be able to enter this time because of, like, needing more rest for my, like, wrist to get rid of that, like, pain. Gag me with a spoon! There's still like, a week, so I hope I, like, will be better and can enter before, like, time's up, you know? π
Oh, and, like, all the entries on the forum are, like, so good! Totally radical! π π
Edited to, like, fix a word.
Second edit to add a forgotten emoji. Totally!
Hey Peapod! You can upload your screenshot to imgur (one of the image hosting websites) where you can create a link to your photo & use it to post it over here (look for BBCode).
Hello! Here is my entry for this week's challenge.
First of all, I'm not really familiar with the theme, but as suggested by Lisa, there's a few others area that I could explore too. So, I go with the one that I'm familiar with & try to add the 80s slangs as much as I can to fit the narrative.
Young & rebellious which is what most teen are experiencing at some point in their life. She always feels that the whole world is against her, especially her parents. Sometimes, she feels like she wants to move to a different city & start living by herself, or perhaps moving closer to her grandmother, who she knows that will understand her better than her parents.
She loves & enjoys skateboarding, but often, she feels like a poser. Perhaps, due to her insecurity or maybe the discouragement that she received from her parents, day & night. Her parents often tell her to stop skateboarding, but focus more on her studies. Yes, she knows that she isn't doing well, but she knows what she likes & dislikes more than her parents.
One day, as she chilling around at the local skate park near her hood, she saw someone who did a perfect ollie, just in front of her. She caught a glimpse of the skater. Their eyes met for a brief. Who could that be?
Hey Peapod! You can upload your screenshot to imgur (one of the image hosting websites) where you can create a link to your photo & use it to post it over here (look for BBCode).
Oh wow! That actually sounds so easy! Thank you so much for your help and I'll try it for next time.

Hello to all my totally awesome fellow simmer dudes and dudettes!

For some of us, like me, our summer time fun is almost done. Due to this and of course the upcoming Cottage Living EP, @nightlioness and I are cohosting a sizzling hot, summer fun Sulani beach party and giveaway! β β±
Your Challenge:
First and foremost, please keep in mind these two EP's: Island Living and Cottage Living (to be released on the 22nd). Now, Let's heat things up in CAS this week! We are calling all "eye candy" hotties to Sulani for a getaway before moving to Henford on Bagley to begin their new cottage living farming lives. Eye candy is anything that you would personally define as cute, beautiful, hot, sexy, good looking, etc. so we're looking for any sim(s) who fit those categories.
Create 1-4 Sim(s) wearing summer beach wear for beach party vacation. All ages and pets are okay as long as you can connect them all to your sim story in some way. Write a story about what your sim(s) are going to do on their Sulani vacation before they move to their new charming cottage farming lives. In your gallery description, also include what you are most looking forward to getting your sims to do when they move to Henford on Bagley. Feel free to hype up this new EP along with your Sulani party vacation ideas!
Please include the hashtag #GLovelysQCC when you share your entry to the gallery. If you have room in your description, feel free to use the #EyeCandy and #CottageLiving tags on your entry too.
ENDS ~ FRIDAY 7/30/21 ~ However, it's very helpful to share your creations early so we can have some households full of aweSIM creativity to nominate for a Maxis Fav!
Rules:
Create 1-4 sims for your Sulani summer vacation.
In your description, write a story on how they'll spend their vacation time on the island before moving to Henford on Bagley. Also, tell us what you're most excited to see and do after your sims move to this new Cottage Living EP.
Style ALL of your sims fashions in summery beach styles. Consider having your sims looks/fashions connect to your sim story in some way.
Make sure your sims 1st outfits, which show in the gallery photo, are totally hooked up with sizzling hot summer styles.

After their parents' untimely passing, oldest siblings Jolly Rancher, Almond Joy, and Reese are left to take care of their youngest sibling Air Head. They decide to go to Sulani to celebrate their parents' lives and partake in everything Sulani has to offer.
While in Sulani, the three oldest - perhaps a bit too Kava'd up in the beautiful Sulani evening - decide to leave their lives behind to follow their parents' dreams. Mom and Dad always wanted to move away from the bustling, grimy city to raise their kids in the quiet countryside. Though their parents were never able to achieve their dreams, the Candee siblings are determined to.
Jolly Rancher - the friendly animal lover - wants to take care of every animal he can. Goofy Almond Joy wants to grow all the vegetables she can - and plans to take a sample coconut from Sulani to start her new farm. Hot-headed but creative Reese wants to learn some new dishes, preferably with the fresh fruits and veggies his sister grows. Ditzy-but-sweet Airhead is happy just to meet some new locals - she's even determined that she can make Agnes herself smile! Will Henford-On-Bagley have everything the Candee's are after?
I ended up making this household for fun when their storyline got bigger than the gallery box could handle haha!
This is the Ponce family! Rowan and Dakota Ponce are close as can be, which is hard to believe considering these twins have taken two different directions in life.Rowan has just graduated from his 4-year program at Brichester with a distinguished degree in Language and Literature. He wants nothing more than to be a fantasy novelist. He doesn't even need to be a successful one, he'd be happy just to publish a book. Dakota never finished college. She made the hard decision to put school on hold to raise her daughter, Tatum. Her first love had been programming, commands in Python made more sense to her than boys or babies. But, over time she got the swing of it. Being a mother was something she came to love just as much. To celebrate their own walks of life, the twins piled together the money they needed to spend some time on the beaches of Sulani. To get away from it all and enjoy life a little bit.
What started as mornings combing the beaches for seashells and afternoons building and destroying sand castles until Tatum could find her water wings, their arrival back home was looming over the twins' heads.
The truth was neither of them was exactly mommy's favorite anymore. And going home meant going back to a life where Rowan wasn't accepted for who he was, and Dakota was shamed for being a mother without a degree or husband. They didn't even live with their mother anymore, she would just turn up to their homes and berate their lives right there in their own living rooms. San Myshuno wasn't home to either of them anymore. So, Rowan proposed they pay a visit to someone who had been there for them even after their mother wasn't.
Marcus Rizzo Traits: Green Friend, Materialistic, Snob
Aspiration: Friend of the World Download
Marcus is a politician who was once very idealistic but became materialistic. His wakeup call was when someone tried to bribe him and he felt tempted to accept it. His job is stressful so he thinks the countryside will be the perfect place to start a new life. He first treats himself with a vacation in Sulani where he can relax and mentally prepare for the move to a luxury farm in Henford-on-Bagley.
I think he is cute, which is why I chose him for the eye candy theme
Bio: After the passing of Ma Bagley, siblings Rhoda and Sherman decided to retire from their careers and return to their roots in the quiet town of Henford-on-Bagley.
After Rhoda's final heist, the pair decided to go on a quick summer vacation to the beautiful island of Sulani before the big move.
But can Rhoda really leave her kleptomaniac ways behind and do the Bagleys have what it takes to be successful farmers?
Great entries on the forum thus far! ππ I now pronounce you all awesim! π
(It sure looks like having Island Living would be helpful for screenshots! I'll have to think of a way around that since I don't have it. π)
@NeoFelis22, maybe Del Sol Valley or the island in windenburgmakes a good background for the vacation? There are probably other places that will work as well

@Glovely1 , if I create additional outfits in any categories, do they also have to be summery beach styles? And what about the cold weather clothing category?

Edit: Reading the Challenge description again, maybe the answer to my other question (additional outfits) is answered there too?
Haley and Strawberry never intended to go to Sulani. Haley is just a horrible witch. Teleportation magic is hard, okay?!
Awesome sims and pet! I love the background story.I hope that next time she will end up where she really wants to go lol
btw the link isn't working for me
Channing dropped out of college to party. His mom had enough and staged an intervention. She bought him a farm in Henford-on-Bagley where he will be far away from temptation. He reluctantly agrees, but before the move he gets one week of vacation in Sulani. Let's party!β
He looks a bit bored by the party. I wonder how he will do in Henford-on-Bagley...!
He is showing off with the fire dance, for which he doesn't have the skill
