Hi lovelies! I'm back for another challenge! Meet Varden.
Varden just needed to use the loo, but when he stepped outside the surroundings had changed. Curious as he is, Varden started to explore. He lost count of the days heβd been spying on some werewolves, just like the young werewolf in the tree had lost count on the days he'd been spying on the beautiful spellcaster in the bush below him.
Still unsure of his feelings about the werewolves and unsure of how to deal with the situation, Varden suddenly felt a gust of wind and a hairy sensation near his leg. Startled, he looked aside, only to see a blond, gorgeous guy crouched next to him.
'Hi stranger, Derek is the name.', he said with a husky voice.
If you've been with me and these QCC's from the beginning, I'm sure you've got an inkling on what direction I'm taking us all. It's towards the new EP that's got many of us squealing . I always get hyped whenever there's something new coming from The Sims so of course High School Clubs is the focus of our whims this week!
Ahh the innocence of high school ~ So many of our "firsts" happened here and I hope you have many good memories of school which help to balance out the drama and awkwardness of it all too!
Creative Direction & Rules:
Your inspiration is both simple and complex. The halls of any high school and the people inhabiting them from approximately 8am to 4pm. If one were a fly on the wall of these halls, what would we see? Teens of all sizes, shapes, colors, styles and attitudes trying to make the grade in both school and life learning. Clubs are a great place for teens to hopefully find a sense of belonging.
Your Challenge:
Create a new high school type of club. For example, you could create the Champion Chess Club, the Drama Club, the Fleet Feet Running Club, the Passion for Fashion Club, etc. Or, set your imagination free & try creating a more unusual one that involves occults, games, specific Sims activities or items, etc. In your description, give your club an official name then write things like your club membership rules, dress code, types of activities members do, secret handshakes etc. Your household "club" can be up to 4 sims and can include teens through elders. Remember, there are all ages "working" in a high school so your club does not need to be an all teen group. The key is to focus on clubs that seem to fit into the high school world.
When finished, please upload your household to the gallery using the #QCC61 AND #GLovelysQCC hashtags.
Entries due by Friday 7/15/22 ~ 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 a household of up to 4 sims (teen - elder) that would fit into your made up high school club.

The Misfits - Welcome to The Misfits, a high school club where the only requirement is to be yourself. A club for those who always get picked last for the sports team, for those who feel unseen and misunderstood, for those who don't conform to society's rules and for those who don't fit in anywhere else. Who needs popularity when you have friends who will always accept and love you for who you are?
Knits Get Crazy Club
Need extra credit for that uni application? Always wanted to walk around in a badly made sweater you knitted yourself? This club is for you! You'll need to wear something knitted(even in summer) if you want to be in this club but you won't just learn how to knit. Miss Knitskabob will teach you how to cook, cross stitch, do laundry & other life skills a teen will need once they are off to uni. Cross your index fingers twice like little knitting needles to greet a fellow member.
Better Tomorrow Club
Mister Wurm knows a difficult teen is nothing but a misunderstood plant. Give the right amount of sunshine, water & love & watch them bloom. The Better Tomorrow Club is a garden & eco-living club that turns troubled teens around. Dress code: gloves, boots & apron with enough pockets for your tools. Teen will learn how to grow food, invent greener gadgets & save the world. Rub some dirt on your hand & slap your buddy on the back to show you are part of this club.

I love your concept and your sims! Reminds me of a club my artsy friends and I created in high school β₯
Yeh, it's yours truly with her snack-issues again. I'd love to introduce y'all to the Grilled Cheese Club (better known as Club Sandwich). Their full story can also be read on my Tumblr.
It's most likely the biggest yet most joked about club in the entire school: the Grilled Cheese Club. Most people refer to it as Club Sandwich, because any sandwich with cheese on it gets celebrated. The club doesn't have many rules, but the VIP members have to wear grilled cheese colored clothing every day. And if a member goes a day without eating a grilled cheese, they get sent to the principal for detention to write a paper about a cheese of their choice.
Arya Lovett was one of the first members of the club. She absolutely loves herself a proper grilled cheese - preferably with a sharp cheddar and dollop of hot sauce. If the bread has some proper grill marks, it absolutely makes her day. Oh - and the scars on her arm you ask? Yeah, apparently skin doesnβt get grill marks the same way bread does.
Sonia Naveen basically breathes cheese. She prefers to eat both bandel cheese and kalimpong cheese with every meal, but sheβs willing to compromise every now and then and opt for just one type of cheese per meal. No cheese isnβt up for discussion though.
Bryson Ritchie didnβt expect to be sucked into Club Sandwich. As an athlete he felt like he had to focus more on his food intake. He became a vegetarian, discovered the veggie-rich Indian cuisine... and kalari cheese. Kalari has become his nickname, as the cheese is very similar to his personality: crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. To prove his dedication to the club he recently got a tattoo on his arm, representing the most basic yet important shape for grilled cheeses.
The "Help Our WoodLands" Conservation Club, also known as Club H.O.W.L. is actually a secret support group for werewolf teens in human high school.
Nate is a popular, charismatic jock, and the de-facto Alpha, but is finding his patience (and popularity) tested by Kat.
Kat is an ecopunk band geek that seems to spend more time in detention that out of it... and apparently is his Fated Mate?! As far as he's concerned, the Moon got it all wrong, but it's proving more difficult to convince his wolf side of this.
Annie is an overachiever: Straight A Honour Student, Student Council President, and Head of the Debate Team, she is always flawless and in control. Or she was, until her werewolf bloodline got its claws into her. Now this monstrous heritage is threatening to destroy her perfectly ordered life. She's determined to apply her study skills to her condition until she can find a way to cure it.
Joey is geeky and unpopular. Often overlooked, he spent lunchtimes alone in the IT room coding. But now he's a werewolf and a member of H.O.W.L., he has a group of super cool friends! If only he could find a way to make them all get along with each other...
My club doesn't have an official uniform, because they are all part of different cliques, and they don't really want to draw attention to their membership in H.O.W.L.. The only thing they have in common with each other is that they are all of werewolf bloodlines, and have started coming in to their powers. H.O.W.L. acts as a support group to help them manage their Fury - after all, nobody wants the existence of werewolves revealed because extra homework caused someone to go on a Rampage...
π₯π¨ PRIZE ROUND - HIGH SCHOOL YEARS EXPANSION GIVEAWAY π¨π₯
I've had way too much fun seeing all of your creative high school clubs! So much so that I believe we need another round in the high school scene before we give this topic a reprieve π
Creative Direction & Rules:
Your inspiration this time is all about the prom! It's one of the biggest events at Copperdale high school so one hopes nothing will go wrong First things first ~ Dream a little, or a big dream of your sims prom scene! Don't forget to fully describe it from decorations to dress. You could even write about the music, food, drinks, etc. Speaking of, maybe you want someone spiking the punch? lol
Think about the sims you want to attend. Will you make the parent or teacher chaperones? What about the wallflowers? Maybe the star couple that all admire? Hey, you could even restyle your club sims from our last QCC to attend as a group! Let your imagination lead your creative direction to create your sims perfect prom connection!
There's also that fun new game feature, "promposals!" If you can find a way to work your sims promposal into your write up that would make my day!
Your Challenge:
Create your dream prom theme. Give it a name. Examples: Under the Sea, Among the Stars, Cloud Nine, Rock of Ages, Punk Perfection etc. Describe it too so we all can imagine going to this prom with you.
Create your prom sim attendees. Please limit your sims to 4 total, teens to elders. Explain their role at the prom from teen guest to elder chaperone. From prom king and queen to punch spiking prankester and anything in between. Will prom be a success or will your sims be the cause of some mischief and distress?

I'm so excited to see your Copperdale High prom themes you dream up for this round! Have FUN and happy creating always!
Mystery and masquerade is the theme of Copperdale Highβs senior prom. Itβs a chance for all the students to dress up in disguise and get to know their fellow classmates all over again. Everythingβs a mystery at the masquerade - each food a different flavor, each song a different genre, all of it meant to keep the students (and even the chaperones!) on their toes. The theme of the night? Expect the unexpected!
βI donβt think I recognize you, beautiful. Are you some kind of prom crasher?β
Emily blinked out of her reverie of watching the other masked dancers. That voice, it sounded so familiar. Could it be-?
βNo, Iβ¦ what makes you think Iβm beautiful? You canβt even see my face.β
βI can tell. Join me for a dance?β
She glanced at his over the top get up. βAre you trying to play the role of my knight in shining armor? Iβm not a damsel in distress.β
βLet me guess your type,β the masked stranger started, taking a seat beside Emily. βYouβre the nerdy bookworm who has never gotten anything below an A in her whole life. If you werenβt here right now youβd have your face buried in a book. Youβve got yourself a full ride to Britechester. Am I right?β
Emily felt her face burn, and she was glad he couldnβt see her.
βAnd youβre the jock everyone loves who expects everyone to fawn over you because you can throw a football.β
βAnd youβre wrong, by the way. Foxbury. To study robotics.β
He whistled. βImpressive. Was I right besides that?β
ββ¦maybe. Why donβt you go back to hanging around with the friends you came in with?β
He shrugged. βIβm enjoying talking to you. Why? Do you want me to go away?β
Yes. No. Emily wasnβt sure.
βCome on. One dance and Iβll leave you alone for the rest of the evening, if thatβs what you want.β He stood up again, holding his hand again to her.
Emily didnβt have the heart to turn him down. What she didnβt know was how much it would hurt to be close to him again.
Making a flash decision - something quite rare for Emily - she gave him her hand. Emily could almost see the big smile on his face as he pulled her up, leading them to the dance floor.
Emily couldnβt tell if it was her own heartbeat pounding in her ear or the music. Just focus on not stepping on his toes, she thought.
βYou know, itβs a lot easier if you breathe,β he said, squeezing Emilyβs hand gently.
βItβs hard to breathe when it feels like everyoneβs watching you. I guess youβre used to that, huh? Captain of the football team. Future prom king.β
βHmm,β he hummed. βHowβd you figure out who I was?β
βYou didnβt exactly make it hard on me.β
βI almost forgot. Foxbury brain.β
βIt doesnβt take a genius to recognize someoneβs voice.β
He paused the dancing for a moment to take a step back. Emily could almost feel his eyes through the mask.
βThatβs true. But that kinda defeats the whole masquerade thing, donβt you think?β
βWhat do you mean?β
βI mean the whole point of this was to make new friends out of people you thought you knew, right? Take a chance and talk to a stranger, you never know what kind of person they are.β
Emily didnβt know how to respond to that. She hadnβt given the theme that much thought, if she was being honest.
He began dancing again with her, and Emily found it was easy to slip back into a pattern with it. Like she had been doing it with him all night, not just for this once dance.
βIs that what youβre trying to do with me?β Emily asked. βMake a NEW friend?β
If he picked up on her emphasis, he didnβt draw attention to it. βYeah, I guess. Would that be so bad?β
βNot bad, just-β Emily realized the music had cut out, quite some time after everyone else stopped swaying. She removed her hand from his, taking a step back. Her head was getting kind of heavy, she felt like she needed a deep breath. βIβ¦ songβs over.β
βI know you only promised me one dance. But can I have one more?β
The music started up again. This time there was no hesitation, Emily started dancing with him again. Maybe her head being full wasnβt such a bad thing.
βYou know, if you know who I am,β he started, dipping her just slightly. If Emilyβs heart wasnβt racing before, it was now. ββ¦Itβs only fair you tell me who you are.β
βHereβs a new deal. If you figure it out, Iβll confirm it.β
βThatβs not fair. Thereβs a lot of students at Copperdale High. You canβt expect me to know all of them.β
βI donβt.β
βCan I at least have a hint?β
βWe were in two classes together.β
βUhβ¦β
βThe hint didnβt help at all, did it?β
βNot really. Why did we never talk?β
βWe did.β
This time he stopped the dancing. βIβm sorry. You must think Iβm some kind of llama hole.β
Emily shrugged. βNo, I donβt think that. I think weβre two very different people who never had a chance.β Her face burned as she realized she may have said too much. βI, nevermind, I-β
βWeβre not that different.β His voice was quiet this time, just barely audible over the pounding music. βWeβre both Copperdale students. Both seniors. Both about to embark on the next journey of our lives.β
βThatβs everyone in this room.β
βWe also both really really want to kiss the other person right now.β
She laughed, surprised. βDo we now?β
βYup. We do. Iβm sure of it.β
βWell, if thatβs the case-β She stood on her toes and planted a quick kiss on the grates of his knight mask, where she thought his lips would be. It was the closest they had been all evening. He stopped breathing, looking down at her.
What did I just do?! Emily stepped away from him, feeling like everyone in the school was watching them. Her breath was shaky. βIβm sorry, I-β
Not giving him the chance to respond she took off running, ignoring his cries to get her to stay. She needed to be far away from here, never to be seen by him again. Emily ripped off her mask, tired of feeling it on her face. Stupid mask. Stupid prom. Stupid Copperdale High. Stupid, stupid-.
βHey, wait up!β
βI donβt want to talk. Just leave me alone, Jordan. Youβre quite good at that.β
βIβm sorry.β
Emily paused, back still to him, out of breath. βYou donβt need to apologize. Itβs okay. You grew up. We both did. You became this jock, and I-β
βAm still the same Emily I was back in middle and elementary school.β
Emily froze, realizing he figured it out.
βThatβs what I like about you.β
βYeah, you liked it so much that you ditched me back in freshman year,β Emily said bitterly.
βHey, you ditched me, too!β
βWhat?β Emily spun around to look at him, prepared to give him a piece of her mind. It threw her off to be confronted with his face, and not the mask. Still, she gathered all the words sheβd been turning over in her head for four years. βIβm not the one who stopped replying to the text messages and phone calls, Jordan. Iβm not the one ignored you in the hallway.β
βOh yeah? Well. I-β Jordan fumbled with his words.
Emily sighed, suddenly angry no more. What was the point? What was done was done. βItβs okay. I get it. You got popular. Iβd just taint your presence with my βnerdinessβ.β
βIβm not just a jock, and youβre more than just a nerd, Emily. I know I havenβt made an effort to reach out and thatβs on me. But you and I were best friends when we were kids. I miss that. I miss you.β Jordan took a step closer to her. Emily wondered if he could hear her pounding heart.
βListen. If this is about guilt, or some kind of prank, or-β
βI-β
βHey, Jordan!β Said an unfamiliar voice. βCome on back inside. Theyβre crowning prom king and queen.β
βGo,β whispered Emily. βYour people await.β
βMy people are right here,β Jordan stated definitively.
Emily felt her ever-working mind short circuit. What? βItβs prom king. Itβs a once in a lifetime-β
βYou hate mixing mustard and ketchup. You hate dyeing your hair because it takes forever, but youβre still good at it. Your favorite color is blue - like the sky, not navy blue. Youβre a horrible singer-β
βHey!β
βAnd a wonderful piano player. You probably still have the blarffy from your grandma on your bed.β
Jordan took another step closer to her, Emily could almost feel his body heat coming off of him.
βYouβre also the perfect mix of brains and beauty. Looking in your eyes now, Iβ¦β Jordan shook his head. βIβm no poet. If I could go back in time and smack my freshman self for being such a llama hole to you, I would.β
βYou canβt.β
Jordan looked dejected, nodding.
βAll you can do is change how you are now.β
βIn that case-β
Jordan closed the distance, kissing Emily gently. Not for the first time that night, Emily felt her brain short circuit. Maybe it wasnβt such a bad thing.
βOkay, that was-β
Jordan gave her a cocky smile. βEverything you hoped for and more.β
βOh, shush,β Emily shoved him playfully. βShould we go back inside? Maybe you can still claim your crown.β
Jordan shrugged. βI think Iβm promβd out, you know?β
βI did enjoy the dancing, though,β Emily admitted.
βIn that case,β Jordan held out his hand. βWill you do me the honor of another dance out here under the moonlight?β
βI will.β
So the two spent the rest of the evening together, unsure of what the future would hold, but happy to have each other even if just for the night.
These to highschool sweethearts are ready for an endless night of fun at tonight's prom! π
Of course Angela had to say yes, when Asher asked her to go to prom with a musical promposal. The whole classroom was cheering when this secret dream of Angela finally came true. Fitting to the prom theme "Floral Fantasy", Angela and Asher have dressed up to the max in their floral attire. When they stepped into the auditorium they found themselves in a fairytale of bloom. Everything was decorated so beautifully and everything from the food to the drinks was flowery themed and the music was definitely like a fantasy. The two continued to dance the whole night away with their friends and snuck away from the after party to spend some time alone later that night. They might not win prom royalty but I think they've got prom jester in the bag, don't you think?
Finally! We have BODY HAIR so let's celebrate this in the gallery and make it a groovy awesome affair π

Let's make body hair become the π₯HOTTESTπ₯ thing in the gallery these next 2 weeks G Stream Team! Happy creating always!
As soon as Tyrees first body hair appeared, he knew he was too mature for high school. He cherished his soft fur and even researched how to best care for it. The principal already gave him several warnings for violating the dress code, as he continuously tried to show it off.
But the warnings didn't keep him from wanting more hair. Every strand would be loved equally, no matter where it'd grow: even lashes would be greatly appreciated.
"No I'm not a werewolf." Eye roll. Everybody asks him that now. Harry Harrison has always been on the rather hirsute side, but when this winsome wizard noticed his pate was balding just a bit, he began to panic. No need to bat an eyelash, after crafting a suspect potion to restore his hair, it backfired. Now he's hairier than ever before!! And it grows back so fast. Oh well.
Harry has life skills, knows a few spells, and works as a freelance programmer. He's clumsy, geeky, and cheerful.
Oh, and nobody ever said he had great taste in clothing (it does give him more personality
I'm late, I'm late .. for a very important Grim date Thank goodness you all know what to do after this past Saturday's stream and @nightlioness and my quick sim creation directions!

We'll laugh until our sims cry .. and ultimately die in this last sim standing stream event ~ Saturday 8/13/22 at 12:00 PM EST on my Twitch channel!
I'm so grateful to all of you who came to our last QCC stream! You constantly inspire me with your generosity, creativity and friendliness. We always have the best time! I also created the "How to make Maxis Fav Nominations" YouTube video that you encouraged me to do! I hope you like it!
Dad's are good at many things, from teaching us how to ride a bike to holding our hand&being a shoulder to cry on all with a special kind of humour know as dad jokes. It's that groan-worthy,pun-laden, can't-help-but-laugh jokes only dads can deliver. "I'm afraid for the calander. It's days are numbered." or "Where do fruits go on vaction? Pear-is." or "Dad, did you get a hair cut?No, I got them all cut." of "I don't trust trees. They are shady." You might die of embarrassment I'm afraid #QCC64
Okay, so I've never been called a comedy genius. Some people say I *ahem* take things a bit too literally. I left the joking to my partner in crime. Only problem is, she decided to ditch me at our biggest gig of the year! Now how am I supposed to steal all your goods and valuables hearts and laughs? Shiver me timbers, I better think fast, or I'm going to end up completely bootie-less! I'm definitely going to need some arr and arr after tonight...

Hey everybody! Boy was I late to the game! I love this challenge and had the perfect couple in mind, Stephen and Checo Picker. These 2 lovebirds have hosted the very popular show the Plumbob Pickers. Stephen and Checo decided to finally settle down in Oasis Springs and open their very own thrift furniture and antique stores, The Plumbob Pickers. Stephen and Checo have traveled the world handpicking items from sims grungy back sheds, garages, and attics. With Stephen's hand at repairing and renovating old pieces of furniture, and Checo's fun personality and colorful style, their new thrift store is sure to be a hit! Want to know more about their history, check out some of their favorite featured episodes from the Sims 4 pack, Movie Hangout. I loved reading the descriptions of the furniture from this pack so much, that I decided to recreate Stephen and Checo to add to my game. Enjoy! https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/C15F1D7A309511ED8BCE734E9303C2DB

Hang your snowflake paper chains and pre-heat the oven, it's time to join these friends in their celebration of Iced Spice Day! This local holiday tradition is held when the weather is just turning cold enough to gently snow at night, leaving a thin sheet of ice on the world. Sims gather with friends and drink hot drinks and bake pies during a time of year when coats are required in the morning and optional in the afternoon. Happy Iced Spice!
Juice keg? Check! Popcorn? Check!! Nachos? Check! Pizza with everything on it? Check!! Matching Flying Llama t-shirts....and face paint? Check!!
Its GAME DAY!! Besties and coworkers Lional Boyce and Shiloh Garner can't wait to watch the first game of the season. GO LLAMAS!!! RAHHHH!!
Shiloh is outgoing, creative, and a bro. She works as a writer. Lionel is cheerful, creative, and a bro. He's also a writer. Both of them like writing, dancing, and fitness. So it should not take long for them to level up to best friends! And better yet.. they are totally base game only! It has a few packs showing up, for whatever reason. But I have checked and double checked, they are base game only as far as personality, outfits, and traits go.
Enjoy!!!
As far as game day? Well, football season has started, and me and my coworkers are obsessed. Fantasy football leagues, conversations about team and player stats abound! Why not make it an official holiday?

Beware the Triangle of Terrors! Or, do you dare become part of one point of power to claim the ultimate right to all sim lands?!
Your Challenge:
It's time to choose. Choose wisely for you may lose your position of power then all close to you will be doomed! Werewolf, Vampire, Human .. or try your creative hand at one each of all three. If you do, please upload them separately. We speak of the convergence of The Triangle of Terrors! There are three points to a triangle, each equal to the other yet their point of power is unique. Will you be a member of the Elite Human Hunters? Do you prefer the sophistication of the Sanguine Society? Could a third point of power be calling to you, the Lunar Lycans?
Directions:
Create ONE human, vampire and/or werewolf candidate. Investigate the look, mannerisms, style, origin story of each leader. Do you feel a connection to one or all? Let that feeling be your guide in creating your human for the Elite Human Hunters, your werewolf for the Lunar Lycans and/or your vampire for the Sanguine Society. Write their origin story (how did your sim come to be) and plead their case to gain entrance to their power point of choice!
History of The Three:
Commander of the Elite Human Hunters
[img][/img]
Commander Alex Bannam, here. Humans, have you had Enough of being Mauled, Bitten and Fed Off Of? We're looking for a few good Humans and Human-Hybrids to Join Forces in the war against Vampires and Werewolves. So, come on you Mad Scientists, Space Rangers, Bounty Hunters and Had-Enough Human-Hybrid "Monsters". The Triangle of Terrors is Forming Ranks.
Centuries ago I had a family, like many of you, but it was torn from me, member by member. My Loved Ones, if they hadn't already become Food for the Beasts, became Mortal Enemies with Immortal Powers that I've had to Destroy in Self-Defense. I was gifted an Immortality Potion, to aid me in my quest against these Immortals. I've been turned and cured too many times to count. My benefactor and far too many others have paid with their lives. Enough I say!
I formed "The Human Hunters" to Stop the Insanity of Creatures like Randon Halos' Lunar Lycans and Belladonnas' Sanguine Society; Both of them, Human Hunting Factions that continue to mock my organization name, at their peril. The Hunters have become The Hunted Horrors Haunted by Humans. Ha Ha Ha. *mic drop.
Alpha of the Lunar Lycans
[img][/img]
Randon Halo was a late bloomer with his first transformation happening at the age of 25. He was shunned from the ancient Primordial Pelts wolf pack for being weak and unworthy to carry the Halo name. Randon growled to himself "I'll show them!" and made the tough decision to part ways to form a new pack, the Lunar Lycans. Randon is now one of the strongest alpha male werewolves alive today and acceptance to the Lunar Lycans is highly sought after. Due to their savage ways and pesky pranks, the vampires Sanguine Society absolutely despise the Lunar Lycans and would love to find a way to eliminate their existence, for good! So far, they have been unsuccessful and the pack continues to grow exponentially. Then there's Commander Bannam, the leader of The Human Hunters who may have something up his sleeve. At least for now, Randon doesn't seem too worried. And so the Triangle Of Terror begins!
Ventrue of the Sanguine Society
[img][/img]
Belladonna Bloodlust is a refined beauty which seeks only the most regal for all aspects of the Sanguine Society. She was born into the prestigious Bloodlust line eons ago and is absolutely obsessed with power. Being Ventrue is power ultimate! And, she has it! For you to even have a heartbeat of a chance to stand by her side, you must have powerfully strong nobility flowing through your veins. Or, used to at least. Honesty, letβs face it, youβd be two steps behind if she approves of you. Her palate of needs constantly desires posh elegance and she can smell an imposter a mile away! If you dare knock on the Sanguine Society's door for an audience with Belladonna, be warned, her cold heart hasnβt been open since Alex ... no scratch that! Speaking of scratching, those furbags led by Randon are scratching around again. Too bad neither of them have the ultimate power position on the Triangle of Terrors! That spot belongs to me, naturally muahaha!

Comments
Varden just needed to use the loo, but when he stepped outside the surroundings had changed. Curious as he is, Varden started to explore. He lost count of the days heβd been spying on some werewolves, just like the young werewolf in the tree had lost count on the days he'd been spying on the beautiful spellcaster in the bush below him.
Still unsure of his feelings about the werewolves and unsure of how to deal with the situation, Varden suddenly felt a gust of wind and a hairy sensation near his leg. Startled, he looked aside, only to see a blond, gorgeous guy crouched next to him.
'Hi stranger, Derek is the name.', he said with a husky voice.
If you've been with me and these QCC's from the beginning, I'm sure you've got an inkling on what direction I'm taking us all. It's towards the new EP that's got many of us squealing . I always get hyped whenever there's something new coming from The Sims so of course High School Clubs is the focus of our whims this week!
Ahh the innocence of high school ~ So many of our "firsts" happened here and I hope you have many good memories of school which help to balance out the drama and awkwardness of it all too!
Creative Direction & Rules:
Your inspiration is both simple and complex. The halls of any high school and the people inhabiting them from approximately 8am to 4pm. If one were a fly on the wall of these halls, what would we see? Teens of all sizes, shapes, colors, styles and attitudes trying to make the grade in both school and life learning. Clubs are a great place for teens to hopefully find a sense of belonging.
Your Challenge:
Create a new high school type of club. For example, you could create the Champion Chess Club, the Drama Club, the Fleet Feet Running Club, the Passion for Fashion Club, etc. Or, set your imagination free & try creating a more unusual one that involves occults, games, specific Sims activities or items, etc. In your description, give your club an official name then write things like your club membership rules, dress code, types of activities members do, secret handshakes etc. Your household "club" can be up to 4 sims and can include teens through elders. Remember, there are all ages "working" in a high school so your club does not need to be an all teen group. The key is to focus on clubs that seem to fit into the high school world.
When finished, please upload your household to the gallery using the #QCC61 AND #GLovelysQCC hashtags.

The Misfits - Welcome to The Misfits, a high school club where the only requirement is to be yourself. A club for those who always get picked last for the sports team, for those who feel unseen and misunderstood, for those who don't conform to society's rules and for those who don't fit in anywhere else. Who needs popularity when you have friends who will always accept and love you for who you are?

Knits Get Crazy Club
Need extra credit for that uni application? Always wanted to walk around in a badly made sweater you knitted yourself? This club is for you! You'll need to wear something knitted(even in summer) if you want to be in this club but you won't just learn how to knit. Miss Knitskabob will teach you how to cook, cross stitch, do laundry & other life skills a teen will need once they are off to uni. Cross your index fingers twice like little knitting needles to greet a fellow member.
Better Tomorrow Club
Mister Wurm knows a difficult teen is nothing but a misunderstood plant. Give the right amount of sunshine, water & love & watch them bloom. The Better Tomorrow Club is a garden & eco-living club that turns troubled teens around. Dress code: gloves, boots & apron with enough pockets for your tools. Teen will learn how to grow food, invent greener gadgets & save the world. Rub some dirt on your hand & slap your buddy on the back to show you are part of this club.
I love your concept and your sims! Reminds me of a club my artsy friends and I created in high school β₯
It's most likely the biggest yet most joked about club in the entire school: the Grilled Cheese Club. Most people refer to it as Club Sandwich, because any sandwich with cheese on it gets celebrated. The club doesn't have many rules, but the VIP members have to wear grilled cheese colored clothing every day. And if a member goes a day without eating a grilled cheese, they get sent to the principal for detention to write a paper about a cheese of their choice.
Arya Lovett was one of the first members of the club. She absolutely loves herself a proper grilled cheese - preferably with a sharp cheddar and dollop of hot sauce. If the bread has some proper grill marks, it absolutely makes her day. Oh - and the scars on her arm you ask? Yeah, apparently skin doesnβt get grill marks the same way bread does.
Sonia Naveen basically breathes cheese. She prefers to eat both bandel cheese and kalimpong cheese with every meal, but sheβs willing to compromise every now and then and opt for just one type of cheese per meal. No cheese isnβt up for discussion though.
Bryson Ritchie didnβt expect to be sucked into Club Sandwich. As an athlete he felt like he had to focus more on his food intake. He became a vegetarian, discovered the veggie-rich Indian cuisine... and kalari cheese. Kalari has become his nickname, as the cheese is very similar to his personality: crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. To prove his dedication to the club he recently got a tattoo on his arm, representing the most basic yet important shape for grilled cheeses.
The "Help Our WoodLands" Conservation Club, also known as Club H.O.W.L. is actually a secret support group for werewolf teens in human high school.
Nate is a popular, charismatic jock, and the de-facto Alpha, but is finding his patience (and popularity) tested by Kat.
Kat is an ecopunk band geek that seems to spend more time in detention that out of it... and apparently is his Fated Mate?! As far as he's concerned, the Moon got it all wrong, but it's proving more difficult to convince his wolf side of this.
Annie is an overachiever: Straight A Honour Student, Student Council President, and Head of the Debate Team, she is always flawless and in control. Or she was, until her werewolf bloodline got its claws into her. Now this monstrous heritage is threatening to destroy her perfectly ordered life. She's determined to apply her study skills to her condition until she can find a way to cure it.
Joey is geeky and unpopular. Often overlooked, he spent lunchtimes alone in the IT room coding. But now he's a werewolf and a member of H.O.W.L., he has a group of super cool friends! If only he could find a way to make them all get along with each other...
My club doesn't have an official uniform, because they are all part of different cliques, and they don't really want to draw attention to their membership in H.O.W.L.. The only thing they have in common with each other is that they are all of werewolf bloodlines, and have started coming in to their powers. H.O.W.L. acts as a support group to help them manage their Fury - after all, nobody wants the existence of werewolves revealed because extra homework caused someone to go on a Rampage...
π₯π¨ PRIZE ROUND - HIGH SCHOOL YEARS EXPANSION GIVEAWAY π¨π₯
I've had way too much fun seeing all of your creative high school clubs! So much so that I believe we need another round in the high school scene before we give this topic a reprieve π
Creative Direction & Rules:
Your inspiration this time is all about the prom! It's one of the biggest events at Copperdale high school so one hopes nothing will go wrong First things first ~ Dream a little, or a big dream of your sims prom scene! Don't forget to fully describe it from decorations to dress. You could even write about the music, food, drinks, etc. Speaking of, maybe you want someone spiking the punch? lol
Think about the sims you want to attend. Will you make the parent or teacher chaperones? What about the wallflowers? Maybe the star couple that all admire? Hey, you could even restyle your club sims from our last QCC to attend as a group! Let your imagination lead your creative direction to create your sims perfect prom connection!
There's also that fun new game feature, "promposals!" If you can find a way to work your sims promposal into your write up that would make my day!
Your Challenge:
Create your dream prom theme. Give it a name. Examples: Under the Sea, Among the Stars, Cloud Nine, Rock of Ages, Punk Perfection etc. Describe it too so we all can imagine going to this prom with you.
Create your prom sim attendees. Please limit your sims to 4 total, teens to elders. Explain their role at the prom from teen guest to elder chaperone. From prom king and queen to punch spiking prankester and anything in between. Will prom be a success or will your sims be the cause of some mischief and distress?

Mystery and masquerade is the theme of Copperdale Highβs senior prom. Itβs a chance for all the students to dress up in disguise and get to know their fellow classmates all over again. Everythingβs a mystery at the masquerade - each food a different flavor, each song a different genre, all of it meant to keep the students (and even the chaperones!) on their toes. The theme of the night? Expect the unexpected!
________________________________________________________________
(Extended story below, itβs a long post )
βI donβt think I recognize you, beautiful. Are you some kind of prom crasher?β
Emily blinked out of her reverie of watching the other masked dancers. That voice, it sounded so familiar. Could it be-?
βNo, Iβ¦ what makes you think Iβm beautiful? You canβt even see my face.β
βI can tell. Join me for a dance?β
She glanced at his over the top get up. βAre you trying to play the role of my knight in shining armor? Iβm not a damsel in distress.β
βLet me guess your type,β the masked stranger started, taking a seat beside Emily. βYouβre the nerdy bookworm who has never gotten anything below an A in her whole life. If you werenβt here right now youβd have your face buried in a book. Youβve got yourself a full ride to Britechester. Am I right?β
Emily felt her face burn, and she was glad he couldnβt see her.
βAnd youβre the jock everyone loves who expects everyone to fawn over you because you can throw a football.β
He laughed, a big, confident sound that filled the room. βTouchΓ©.β
βAnd youβre wrong, by the way. Foxbury. To study robotics.β
He whistled. βImpressive. Was I right besides that?β
ββ¦maybe. Why donβt you go back to hanging around with the friends you came in with?β
He shrugged. βIβm enjoying talking to you. Why? Do you want me to go away?β
Yes. No. Emily wasnβt sure.
βCome on. One dance and Iβll leave you alone for the rest of the evening, if thatβs what you want.β He stood up again, holding his hand again to her.
Emily didnβt have the heart to turn him down. What she didnβt know was how much it would hurt to be close to him again.
Making a flash decision - something quite rare for Emily - she gave him her hand. Emily could almost see the big smile on his face as he pulled her up, leading them to the dance floor.
Emily couldnβt tell if it was her own heartbeat pounding in her ear or the music. Just focus on not stepping on his toes, she thought.
βYou know, itβs a lot easier if you breathe,β he said, squeezing Emilyβs hand gently.
βItβs hard to breathe when it feels like everyoneβs watching you. I guess youβre used to that, huh? Captain of the football team. Future prom king.β
βHmm,β he hummed. βHowβd you figure out who I was?β
βYou didnβt exactly make it hard on me.β
βI almost forgot. Foxbury brain.β
βIt doesnβt take a genius to recognize someoneβs voice.β
He paused the dancing for a moment to take a step back. Emily could almost feel his eyes through the mask.
βThatβs true. But that kinda defeats the whole masquerade thing, donβt you think?β
βWhat do you mean?β
βI mean the whole point of this was to make new friends out of people you thought you knew, right? Take a chance and talk to a stranger, you never know what kind of person they are.β
Emily didnβt know how to respond to that. She hadnβt given the theme that much thought, if she was being honest.
He began dancing again with her, and Emily found it was easy to slip back into a pattern with it. Like she had been doing it with him all night, not just for this once dance.
βIs that what youβre trying to do with me?β Emily asked. βMake a NEW friend?β
If he picked up on her emphasis, he didnβt draw attention to it. βYeah, I guess. Would that be so bad?β
βNot bad, just-β Emily realized the music had cut out, quite some time after everyone else stopped swaying. She removed her hand from his, taking a step back. Her head was getting kind of heavy, she felt like she needed a deep breath. βIβ¦ songβs over.β
βI know you only promised me one dance. But can I have one more?β
The music started up again. This time there was no hesitation, Emily started dancing with him again. Maybe her head being full wasnβt such a bad thing.
βYou know, if you know who I am,β he started, dipping her just slightly. If Emilyβs heart wasnβt racing before, it was now. ββ¦Itβs only fair you tell me who you are.β
βHereβs a new deal. If you figure it out, Iβll confirm it.β
βThatβs not fair. Thereβs a lot of students at Copperdale High. You canβt expect me to know all of them.β
βI donβt.β
βCan I at least have a hint?β
βWe were in two classes together.β
βUhβ¦β
βThe hint didnβt help at all, did it?β
βNot really. Why did we never talk?β
βWe did.β
This time he stopped the dancing. βIβm sorry. You must think Iβm some kind of llama hole.β
Emily shrugged. βNo, I donβt think that. I think weβre two very different people who never had a chance.β Her face burned as she realized she may have said too much. βI, nevermind, I-β
βWeβre not that different.β His voice was quiet this time, just barely audible over the pounding music. βWeβre both Copperdale students. Both seniors. Both about to embark on the next journey of our lives.β
βThatβs everyone in this room.β
βWe also both really really want to kiss the other person right now.β
She laughed, surprised. βDo we now?β
βYup. We do. Iβm sure of it.β
βWell, if thatβs the case-β She stood on her toes and planted a quick kiss on the grates of his knight mask, where she thought his lips would be. It was the closest they had been all evening. He stopped breathing, looking down at her.
What did I just do?! Emily stepped away from him, feeling like everyone in the school was watching them. Her breath was shaky. βIβm sorry, I-β
Not giving him the chance to respond she took off running, ignoring his cries to get her to stay. She needed to be far away from here, never to be seen by him again. Emily ripped off her mask, tired of feeling it on her face. Stupid mask. Stupid prom. Stupid Copperdale High. Stupid, stupid-.
βHey, wait up!β
βI donβt want to talk. Just leave me alone, Jordan. Youβre quite good at that.β
βIβm sorry.β
Emily paused, back still to him, out of breath. βYou donβt need to apologize. Itβs okay. You grew up. We both did. You became this jock, and I-β
βAm still the same Emily I was back in middle and elementary school.β
Emily froze, realizing he figured it out.
βThatβs what I like about you.β
βYeah, you liked it so much that you ditched me back in freshman year,β Emily said bitterly.
βHey, you ditched me, too!β
βWhat?β Emily spun around to look at him, prepared to give him a piece of her mind. It threw her off to be confronted with his face, and not the mask. Still, she gathered all the words sheβd been turning over in her head for four years. βIβm not the one who stopped replying to the text messages and phone calls, Jordan. Iβm not the one ignored you in the hallway.β
βOh yeah? Well. I-β Jordan fumbled with his words.
Emily sighed, suddenly angry no more. What was the point? What was done was done. βItβs okay. I get it. You got popular. Iβd just taint your presence with my βnerdinessβ.β
βIβm not just a jock, and youβre more than just a nerd, Emily. I know I havenβt made an effort to reach out and thatβs on me. But you and I were best friends when we were kids. I miss that. I miss you.β Jordan took a step closer to her. Emily wondered if he could hear her pounding heart.
βListen. If this is about guilt, or some kind of prank, or-β
βI-β
βHey, Jordan!β Said an unfamiliar voice. βCome on back inside. Theyβre crowning prom king and queen.β
βGo,β whispered Emily. βYour people await.β
βMy people are right here,β Jordan stated definitively.
Emily felt her ever-working mind short circuit. What? βItβs prom king. Itβs a once in a lifetime-β
βYou hate mixing mustard and ketchup. You hate dyeing your hair because it takes forever, but youβre still good at it. Your favorite color is blue - like the sky, not navy blue. Youβre a horrible singer-β
βHey!β
βAnd a wonderful piano player. You probably still have the blarffy from your grandma on your bed.β
Jordan took another step closer to her, Emily could almost feel his body heat coming off of him.
βYouβre also the perfect mix of brains and beauty. Looking in your eyes now, Iβ¦β Jordan shook his head. βIβm no poet. If I could go back in time and smack my freshman self for being such a llama hole to you, I would.β
βYou canβt.β
Jordan looked dejected, nodding.
βAll you can do is change how you are now.β
βIn that case-β
Jordan closed the distance, kissing Emily gently. Not for the first time that night, Emily felt her brain short circuit. Maybe it wasnβt such a bad thing.
βOkay, that was-β
Jordan gave her a cocky smile. βEverything you hoped for and more.β
βOh, shush,β Emily shoved him playfully. βShould we go back inside? Maybe you can still claim your crown.β
Jordan shrugged. βI think Iβm promβd out, you know?β
βI did enjoy the dancing, though,β Emily admitted.
βIn that case,β Jordan held out his hand. βWill you do me the honor of another dance out here under the moonlight?β
βI will.β
So the two spent the rest of the evening together, unsure of what the future would hold, but happy to have each other even if just for the night.
Of course Angela had to say yes, when Asher asked her to go to prom with a musical promposal. The whole classroom was cheering when this secret dream of Angela finally came true. Fitting to the prom theme "Floral Fantasy", Angela and Asher have dressed up to the max in their floral attire. When they stepped into the auditorium they found themselves in a fairytale of bloom. Everything was decorated so beautifully and everything from the food to the drinks was flowery themed and the music was definitely like a fantasy. The two continued to dance the whole night away with their friends and snuck away from the after party to spend some time alone later that night. They might not win prom royalty but I think they've got prom jester in the bag, don't you think?

Finally! We have BODY HAIR so let's celebrate this in the gallery and make it a groovy awesome affair π
Creative Direction & Rules:
For the sake of time, I am keeping things as simple as possible here for a change π The use of body hair is a must in your sims creativity and so is a related sim story.
Your Challenge:
Create 1 or 2 teen to elder sims in the same household. You can make a male, a female, two of each or even one of both. Each sim you create must have at least one of the NEW body hair selections for chest, back, arms and/or legs. Sounds simple right? Yep, however they do still need a story related to body hair. Give us your sim's thoughts, opinions, feelings, likes and even dislikes about their body hair or body hair in general. EXTRA IMAGINARY POINTS if any of you can somehow creatively beg the Sims team to give us eyelashes in a future update lol ππ
If you'd like to watch the part in stream where we discuss the challenge please check out this clip and you can select to continue watching the stream at the end of the clip if you'd like to see more information.
When finished, please upload your household to the gallery using the #QCC63 AND #GLovelysQCC hashtags.
Entries due by Friday 8/12/22 ~ 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!

But the warnings didn't keep him from wanting more hair. Every strand would be loved equally, no matter where it'd grow: even lashes would be greatly appreciated.
Harry has life skills, knows a few spells, and works as a freelance programmer. He's clumsy, geeky, and cheerful.
Oh, and nobody ever said he had great taste in clothing (it does give him more personality

Dad's are good at many things, from teaching us how to ride a bike to holding our hand&being a shoulder to cry on all with a special kind of humour know as dad jokes. It's that groan-worthy,pun-laden, can't-help-but-laugh jokes only dads can deliver. "I'm afraid for the calander. It's days are numbered." or "Where do fruits go on vaction? Pear-is." or "Dad, did you get a hair cut?No, I got them all cut." of "I don't trust trees. They are shady." You might die of embarrassment I'm afraid #QCC64
Captain Jackie Robin reporting for duty!
Okay, so I've never been called a comedy genius. Some people say I *ahem* take things a bit too literally. I left the joking to my partner in crime. Only problem is, she decided to ditch me at our biggest gig of the year! Now how am I supposed to steal all your goods and valuables hearts and laughs? Shiver me timbers, I better think fast, or I'm going to end up completely bootie-less! I'm definitely going to need some arr and arr after tonight...
Our theme song for this one has been stuck in my head for weeks as you all know! So much so that I turned it into a stream sound command. Now, let's use this as inspiration to make your own brand for your new Thrift Shop! Okay forum family & our G Stream Team, show us what you got!
Creative Direction & Rules:
Ride the ThrifTea Thrift Shop hype with me! Create 1 - 4 sims in one household. Children & pets ok as long as they are with an adult & included in the 4 or less sims household total. Imagine they are the owners of the best Thrift Store in all Simworld. In the description, please first NAME YOUR SHOP then share the shop's theme, the shop's fashion line or overall style, the hottest buys etc. Be sure to style your sims in their best selling items. Connect their look to the name of their store. For example, my imagined thrift store is called "Sheers" and my sim is wearing mainly sheer articles of clothing in all outfit categories
By the way, if you are so inspired, please feel free to build their shop too! Use our current QCC tags if you choose to build and share π

Summertime state fairs, festivals and celebrations are going strong, yet the weather is beginning to feel a bit like fall. All these seasonal thoughts got me inspire to challenge you to a seasons mash up of sorts. βπ»ππ
Creative Direction & Rules:
You'll want to create between 1-4 sims to represent your seasonal fun! Focus on 1 or 2 seasons. Style your sims to that season or create a look that is a mash up of the two seasons you choose. You can even make up a new season like "Swinter" (from Phineas & Ferb). Describe what your sims are doing during that season. You can pick your favorite in-game activities like playing in & raking the leaves. You can also re-create real life fairs/festivals for your sims like the Garlic Festival or Hot Air Balloon Labor Day Lift Off. Of course, I will always encourage you to set your imagination free and whip up something new to do in the season(s) you choose

Its GAME DAY!! Besties and coworkers Lional Boyce and Shiloh Garner can't wait to watch the first game of the season. GO LLAMAS!!! RAHHHH!!
Shiloh is outgoing, creative, and a bro. She works as a writer. Lionel is cheerful, creative, and a bro. He's also a writer. Both of them like writing, dancing, and fitness. So it should not take long for them to level up to best friends! And better yet.. they are totally base game only! It has a few packs showing up, for whatever reason. But I have checked and double checked, they are base game only as far as personality, outfits, and traits go.
Enjoy!!!
As far as game day? Well, football season has started, and me and my coworkers are obsessed. Fantasy football leagues, conversations about team and player stats abound! Why not make it an official holiday?

π Special Halloween Event and Giveaway! π
Beware the Triangle of Terrors! Or, do you dare become part of one point of power to claim the ultimate right to all sim lands?!
Your Challenge:
It's time to choose. Choose wisely for you may lose your position of power then all close to you will be doomed! Werewolf, Vampire, Human .. or try your creative hand at one each of all three. If you do, please upload them separately. We speak of the convergence of The Triangle of Terrors! There are three points to a triangle, each equal to the other yet their point of power is unique. Will you be a member of the Elite Human Hunters? Do you prefer the sophistication of the Sanguine Society? Could a third point of power be calling to you, the Lunar Lycans?
Directions:
Create ONE human, vampire and/or werewolf candidate. Investigate the look, mannerisms, style, origin story of each leader. Do you feel a connection to one or all? Let that feeling be your guide in creating your human for the Elite Human Hunters, your werewolf for the Lunar Lycans and/or your vampire for the Sanguine Society. Write their origin story (how did your sim come to be) and plead their case to gain entrance to their power point of choice!
History of The Three:
Commander of the Elite Human Hunters
Centuries ago I had a family, like many of you, but it was torn from me, member by member. My Loved Ones, if they hadn't already become Food for the Beasts, became Mortal Enemies with Immortal Powers that I've had to Destroy in Self-Defense. I was gifted an Immortality Potion, to aid me in my quest against these Immortals. I've been turned and cured too many times to count. My benefactor and far too many others have paid with their lives. Enough I say!
I formed "The Human Hunters" to Stop the Insanity of Creatures like Randon Halos' Lunar Lycans and Belladonnas' Sanguine Society; Both of them, Human Hunting Factions that continue to mock my organization name, at their peril. The Hunters have become The Hunted Horrors Haunted by Humans. Ha Ha Ha. *mic drop.
Alpha of the Lunar Lycans
Ventrue of the Sanguine Society
