Alphonso embarks on the hunt
Dr. Lopez tracks the prey
Dr. Lopez-Belmonte, a tenured professor at the esteemed Britechester University, has been teaching college alumni for decades. An expert in Omiscan history and occult studies, heβs known as the βbonehoundβ by his colleagues, for his inhuman knack for finding artifacts and archeological dig sites deep in the remote jungles of his native Selvadorada. When heβs asked his secret for finding artifacts, he always answers βThatβs for me to know and you to find outβ with a wink and a smile. Needless to say, heβs a bit of a heart throb with the female student body.
As for Alphonsoβs secret knack? Well, you can guess that one! Heβs a werewolf! They can sniff out anything. But Alphonso has another, darker secret. He is descended from a long line of vampire hunters. He has dedicated his life to ridding the world of the vampiric scourge, and has become an expert in vampire lore, as well as everything occult. The only thing that remains vague to him is the script and lore of the Spellcasters, which remains obscured to all but the magically inclined. Alphonso is the last of his line, with no family remaining, he seeks others who hunt the same. Will the Lunar Lycans accept him, allowing him to join their creed?
If not, no matter. Alphonso will continue on his solitary quest despite all. The Lone Wolf Walks the Path Alone.

Dr. Alphonzo Lopez-Belmonte Stats
I created Alphonso as my gameβs vampire hunter awhile ago. I love this dude, I named him after a werewolf character from a French medieval ballad written in the 1200s, "Guillaume de Palerme" (or William and the Werewolf in the English translation)
. In the story, Alfonso was a Spanish prince that was cursed to live as a werewolf by his evil stepmother, but protected some teens that the bad guy in the story was trying to kill. He was turned back into a human as a reward at the end of the story. Lopez means βof the wolfβ in Spanish. And Belmonte is a reference to the vampire hunting family from the CastleVanyia series of course. Iβve been actively playing him for like 2 months so he has quite a few skills. He has the Self-Assured, Genius, and Adventurous traits. Heβs mastered the archeological skill and completed both archeology aspirations in-game (nearly died too after failing a few traps! lol). He can give archeological seminar speeches to other sims, and receives artifacts from the Simsonian Museum to authenticate in the mail. That way you donβt have to send him to Selvadorada for him to work as an archeologist and make extra income. Heβs worked in the military career, and is now a Dean level professor. I did cheat to give him max vampire lore awhile ago, he can craft the vampire cure. If he has the cure in his inventory, an option to βslay vampireβ will come up under the mean interactions category with any vampire. They can fight, and if he wins, he will throw the cure in the vampireβs face, curing them of the vampire scourge. He has the player trait, but now has the soulmate aspiration.
Alphonzo is an apex werewolf that finished the Lone Wolf aspiration. Heβs also immortal, heβs an adult with some age showing (graying hair and some eye wrinkles). Heβs quite old in my head cannon, well over a century. He has the survival instinct and prideful wolf temperaments. So his fury builds when heβs angry, uncomfortable or scared. But he also has the mark of the night and the wolf (or something like that) which helps lower fury gain. He can track, scavenge, and hunt. Al is a lot of fun to play!
Hereβs his wardrobe:
He wears the same in his werewolf form. Heβs a werewolf, but a snazzy dresser.
Everyday wear
Hunting Get-up
Lecture Clothes
At home/everyday outing
Formal Wear
Work out:
Sleep:
Party: He loves to wear his βIndiana Jonesβ hat
Swim wear- heβs tattooed up and bears scars from many fights
Hot Weather 1:
Cold Weather: With his hat lol
Imagine two worlds. One, full of the bustle of Princess Cordelia's medieval kingdom. Here, youβd see royals, knights, peasants, pirates, jesters, blacksmiths, cooks, cats for mousing & more!

You can tell a story of Harvestfest & how your sims enjoyed this holiday.

I'm mostly thankful for my family so I think I'm going to base some sims after them and I can't believe I've never made an account for the forums until now.
I'm mostly thankful for my family so I think I'm going to base some sims after them and I can't believe I've never made an account for the forums until now.
Welcome to the forums! I hope you have fun exploring them and I love your idea for this new challenge Marissa π
Challenge within the challenge: Take your sims in game and go on one of the in game volunteer experiences.
The thing I love about this challenge is it actually encourages to find a gameplay style for created sims. This way, your sim becomes more of a character, than a sim. As someone who love storytelling, I had lots of fun (and cried a bit while batfish hunting but other than that had fun)
I didnt go typical volunteering activities because none of these well suited to my character. (Im going to create a character whos suited to fight diseases tho). Instead, I peaked Paranormal Investigator Career and worked for free. I had to rewrite set money cheat to give money back after each work day to make it "volunterily work" since I dont know how to code it.
Most of my time I focused on finishing Mother Plant Resurrection Aspiration, which I tried first time. Now, Selina is someone who able to resurrect ghosts without need of Ambrosia. She only use this power on accidently dead sims who passed away before their time though. No matter how giving you are, nature have a balance and resurrecting those whose time has come would upset the balance.
Impressive @CordeliaBeaufort i didnβt even know that was a thing in the game. My family are much more low-key, life guarding, beach cleaning, feeding strays, nothing life and death. They are doing odd jobs and she his doing two classes at a time. The kid got an A and I hope to have time to work on her character values as well. Iβve never had a Sim get a bio degree then buy a vet clinic, I donβt know if there will be any advantage.
I added my mom, grandpa, and my young simself together and they went on the walk to fight disease. I picked that one for them to volunteer to because my grandpa passed away from lung cancer and I hope that someday a cure will be made. I couldn't get a picture of it saying they went volunteering but I got this cute picture of my young simself and my grandpa hugging. I tried to get my mom in the picture too but her simself was too busy knocking over a trash can I guess the walk made her mad?
Tis the season for holly jolly merriment and cheer .. oh and donβt forget about the cute reindeer This special theme event is a holiday collaboration with Planet Sims Discord, @Minraed and me!
Creative Direction & Rules:
Enjoying all the hustle and bustle of happy holiday events is something Iβm very much looking forward to .. if this sounds like you too then hereβs what we'd love for you to do. Be inspired by the energy of the holidays by creating themed rooms, sims and builds according to what your interpretation of the following 5 themes! Please connect each of your creations together if you are inspired to make all three categories. For example, if you make a room, please make the sims that would be found in that space as well as the build that incorporates that room inside of it.
Your Challenge:
β Let the following themes be your guide as you create some Holiday magic in Build and/or CAS for sims indoors or outside β
As you create, think about all the sims who might be in one of these rooms and tell the story of what they are doing in your description. Paint the picture of the holiday scene so that all reading will be able to vividly daydream. Date night out on the town? (Holiday Party) A single sim picking out their proposal ring? (Holiday Shopping) Elves in Santa's workshop? (Holiday Toys) Family outing to a tree farm? (Holiday Petting Zoo/Maze) Senior portraits? (Holiday Photo Shoot). Pick the one theme that speaks to you most and challenge yourself to create the sims, the room AND the build they belong in. Remember, the specific things suggested here are just that, suggestions. Let your sim imaginations run free on how you think one of these themes should be.
For sim household creations, please style your sims to the theme you pick and give them a story about why they've chosen to go to this holiday event. Share their thoughts, feelings, sights and sounds around them.
For room creations, please build any shaped room you want. Design it according to one of these five themes and make it 12x12 size or less.
For build creations, you are free to build without limitations on any lot you desire. Please make sure you have your room design somewhere in your overall build. For example, if you created a Holiday Shopping room, you can build the whole shopping mall if you'd like. To help with proper stream placement, please state the lot you used to build and share your entry.
For more information, visit the "planet-holiday" event channel in our Planet Sims Discord. If you are not yet a member, you're very welcome to join our friendly, supportive group of simmers using this link ...
We also respect the fact that there are many ways people and their sims define βthe holidaysβ. Please feel free to bring the spirit of your treasured celebrations and traditions to this challenge.
When finished, please upload your household, room and/or build to the gallery using the #QCC71 & #PlanetHolidays hashtags.

I hope you all enjoyed a beautifully relaxing and loving Christmas if you celebrate and I look forward to continuing the creative fun of these QCC's with you in 2023! π
Happy New Year 2023! Ringing in the new year makes me think of getting a refresh, a remodel, a redo .. it's like a fresh start and having the courage to try new things .. Like new fashion in our case!
Creative Direction & Rules:
Create TWO different sims. Style 1 sim in fashion don'ts and style the other in fashion do's. Write a fun story about your pair. For example, why did the first sim decide to wear what they wear? Is it gifts gone wrong, zero fashion sense, something else? Who is the second? Style icon, retail mogul, off duty in fab style fashion police? Will the second sim be able to help the first fix their fashion faux pas? I hope you are inspired by making the worst of the worst and the best of the best styles for each of your sims!

Let's take a journey back in sim time to discover more about the ancient sim beings of some of the worlds across simsland. It's up to you to invent a Simsvilization and explain how the sims in your imagined civilization lived back in their time. This challenge theme was inspired by a recent build museum collaboration by @LukasCreatesSims and nanan8. It's a phenomenal build so I hope you check in out in game to inspire your sims creativity. You can find it and all the simazing creations on the #QCC74 tag.
[img][/img]
Creative Direction & Rules:
Create 1 - 8 sims. Imagine what type of sim walked the lands in the past. Think about what the worlds looked like then. How did they live? What did they do for food, culture, community, commerce, etc? Was there a class structure living in peace or constantly fighting factions? Give your simsvilization a name, for example the Oasieans of Oasis Springs or the Groots of Granite Falls.
Here are some suggestions to visualize the styles from these real cultures to make up your fictional ones: Oasis Springs = Egypt & Persia β’ Windenburg = Tudor/Victorian β’ Brindleton Bay = Pirates β’ Strangerville = Cowsboys/Natives β’ Sulani = Islanders/Island beings β’ Komorebi = Japanese/Asian β’ Tartosa = Greek/Roman β’ Selvadorada = Aztec/Maya β’ Granite Falls = Caveman.
Please remember the real historical civilizations are for help in your visualizations of what your sims could look like. It is up to you to invent your own sims civilization that would grace the halls of simsworld's most prominent museum, The Grand Windenburg Museum.

The focus is all about family for this new theme. We've been dreaming about more activities for babies to senior sims and very soon our dreams will come true!
Creative Direction & Rules:
Family .. what does that mean to you? Generations connected by sim genetics from the newest of beginnings to the end days. Your mission is to make sims of various ages you instantly connect to and want to raise.
You can create 1-8 sims that must be connected by genetics. Moms, dads, grandparents, siblings and most importantly a pregnancy! Yes, your household will be 100% ready to play with actual sim babies on update day! We've waited so long to have babies in game that are more than simple objects which gets me so excited to see the new baby effects π
I clipped 2 parts from yesterday's stream where we discuss this new theme if you'd like to watch β
Feel free to continue watching from there as we talk more about it. I was thinking it would be cool if you connect your family to the new EP Growing Together!

Dr. Lopez tracks the prey
Dr. Lopez-Belmonte, a tenured professor at the esteemed Britechester University, has been teaching college alumni for decades. An expert in Omiscan history and occult studies, heβs known as the βbonehoundβ by his colleagues, for his inhuman knack for finding artifacts and archeological dig sites deep in the remote jungles of his native Selvadorada. When heβs asked his secret for finding artifacts, he always answers βThatβs for me to know and you to find outβ with a wink and a smile. Needless to say, heβs a bit of a heart throb with the female student body.
As for Alphonsoβs secret knack? Well, you can guess that one! Heβs a werewolf! They can sniff out anything. But Alphonso has another, darker secret. He is descended from a long line of vampire hunters. He has dedicated his life to ridding the world of the vampiric scourge, and has become an expert in vampire lore, as well as everything occult. The only thing that remains vague to him is the script and lore of the Spellcasters, which remains obscured to all but the magically inclined. Alphonso is the last of his line, with no family remaining, he seeks others who hunt the same. Will the Lunar Lycans accept him, allowing him to join their creed?
If not, no matter. Alphonso will continue on his solitary quest despite all. The Lone Wolf Walks the Path Alone.
The Hunt Resumes
Dr. Lopez pursues the creature
Fury!
Dr. Lopez finds his quarry
I created Alphonso as my gameβs vampire hunter awhile ago. I love this dude, I named him after a werewolf character from a French medieval ballad written in the 1200s, "Guillaume de Palerme" (or William and the Werewolf in the English translation)
. In the story, Alfonso was a Spanish prince that was cursed to live as a werewolf by his evil stepmother, but protected some teens that the bad guy in the story was trying to kill. He was turned back into a human as a reward at the end of the story. Lopez means βof the wolfβ in Spanish. And Belmonte is a reference to the vampire hunting family from the CastleVanyia series of course. Iβve been actively playing him for like 2 months so he has quite a few skills. He has the Self-Assured, Genius, and Adventurous traits. Heβs mastered the archeological skill and completed both archeology aspirations in-game (nearly died too after failing a few traps! lol). He can give archeological seminar speeches to other sims, and receives artifacts from the Simsonian Museum to authenticate in the mail. That way you donβt have to send him to Selvadorada for him to work as an archeologist and make extra income. Heβs worked in the military career, and is now a Dean level professor. I did cheat to give him max vampire lore awhile ago, he can craft the vampire cure. If he has the cure in his inventory, an option to βslay vampireβ will come up under the mean interactions category with any vampire. They can fight, and if he wins, he will throw the cure in the vampireβs face, curing them of the vampire scourge. He has the player trait, but now has the soulmate aspiration.
Alphonzo is an apex werewolf that finished the Lone Wolf aspiration. Heβs also immortal, heβs an adult with some age showing (graying hair and some eye wrinkles). Heβs quite old in my head cannon, well over a century. He has the survival instinct and prideful wolf temperaments. So his fury builds when heβs angry, uncomfortable or scared. But he also has the mark of the night and the wolf (or something like that) which helps lower fury gain. He can track, scavenge, and hunt. Al is a lot of fun to play!
Hereβs his wardrobe:
He wears the same in his werewolf form. Heβs a werewolf, but a snazzy dresser.
Hunting Get-up
Lecture Clothes
At home/everyday outing
Formal Wear
Work out:
Sleep:
Party: He loves to wear his βIndiana Jonesβ hat
Swim wear- heβs tattooed up and bears scars from many fights
Hot Weather 1:
Cold Weather: With his hat lol

A Medieval Themed Collaboration with @divanthesimmer
Your Challenge:
Imagine two worlds. One, full of the bustle of Princess Cordelia's medieval kingdom. Here, youβd see royals, knights, peasants, pirates, jesters, blacksmiths, cooks, cats for mousing & more! The other world is a ragtag mix of woodland lumberjacks & jills, farmers, barkeeps, mooncaster werewolves & MOOcasters.
Directions:
Please feel free to create between 1-4 sims for the ragtag world of Moonwood Mill and/or for the medieval kingdom of Tartosa. Style your sims fashions according to the world and station in life you are choosing for them. In your description, please tell their story. What world do they belong to? What do they do for that world? Who do they hope to see or what do they aspire to do?
Also, if you have a bit of extra time, try your hand at building something for your sims for their respective world. That would be greatly appreciated as these sims and the builds you create have an opportunity to go into Divan's massive medieval game world save! Please let us know if you need more information on buildings or this world save.
When finished, please upload your household to the gallery using the #QCC69 AND #divanmedievalsave hashtags.
Entries due by Thursday 11/11/22 ~ 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!

Let's all be thankful together and share the spirit of giving!
Your Challenge:
Create a household that demonstrates the meaning of giving. Giving back, giving thanks, giving love, giving support, giving a listening ear, giving a gift, giving your time by volunteering .. simply put, giving is the message and the spirit I want us all to be feeling as we create for this challenge!
Directions:
Create 1-4 sims, pets ok, that represent in some way the meaning of giving to you. Be inspired by your real life experiences whether you were on the giving or receiving end of generosity. Ask yourself things like, what or who are you thankful for? What was the most meaningful gift you've given or received? Or, find creative ideas straight from the game. You can tell a story of Harvestfest & how your sims enjoyed this holiday.
In addition, to up the challenge factor, consider giving the "volunteer" travel option in game a try. If you have never once experienced this gameplay feature, now's your time! Just click the phone with your teen or adult sim, select travel & you should see the "volunteer" option.
For more info, here's a clip of our giving theme discussion we had on stream β
When finished, please upload your household to the gallery using the #QCC70 AND #GLovelysQCC hashtags.

Welcome to the forums! I hope you have fun exploring them and I love your idea for this new challenge Marissa π
[img][/img]
The thing I love about this challenge is it actually encourages to find a gameplay style for created sims. This way, your sim becomes more of a character, than a sim. As someone who love storytelling, I had lots of fun (and cried a bit while batfish hunting but other than that had fun)
I didnt go typical volunteering activities because none of these well suited to my character. (Im going to create a character whos suited to fight diseases tho). Instead, I peaked Paranormal Investigator Career and worked for free. I had to rewrite set money cheat to give money back after each work day to make it "volunterily work" since I dont know how to code it.
Most of my time I focused on finishing Mother Plant Resurrection Aspiration, which I tried first time. Now, Selina is someone who able to resurrect ghosts without need of Ambrosia. She only use this power on accidently dead sims who passed away before their time though. No matter how giving you are, nature have a balance and resurrecting those whose time has come would upset the balance.
Tis the season for holly jolly merriment and cheer .. oh and donβt forget about the cute reindeer
Creative Direction & Rules:
Enjoying all the hustle and bustle of happy holiday events is something Iβm very much looking forward to .. if this sounds like you too then hereβs what we'd love for you to do. Be inspired by the energy of the holidays by creating themed rooms, sims and builds according to what your interpretation of the following 5 themes! Please connect each of your creations together if you are inspired to make all three categories. For example, if you make a room, please make the sims that would be found in that space as well as the build that incorporates that room inside of it.
Your Challenge:
β Let the following themes be your guide as you create some Holiday magic in Build and/or CAS for sims indoors or outside β
Creative Themes:
Holiday Party
Holiday Shopping
Holiday Toys
Holiday Petting Zoo/Maze
Holiday Photo Shoot
As you create, think about all the sims who might be in one of these rooms and tell the story of what they are doing in your description. Paint the picture of the holiday scene so that all reading will be able to vividly daydream. Date night out on the town? (Holiday Party) A single sim picking out their proposal ring? (Holiday Shopping) Elves in Santa's workshop? (Holiday Toys) Family outing to a tree farm? (Holiday Petting Zoo/Maze) Senior portraits? (Holiday Photo Shoot). Pick the one theme that speaks to you most and challenge yourself to create the sims, the room AND the build they belong in. Remember, the specific things suggested here are just that, suggestions. Let your sim imaginations run free on how you think one of these themes should be.
For sim household creations, please style your sims to the theme you pick and give them a story about why they've chosen to go to this holiday event. Share their thoughts, feelings, sights and sounds around them.
For room creations, please build any shaped room you want. Design it according to one of these five themes and make it 12x12 size or less.
For build creations, you are free to build without limitations on any lot you desire. Please make sure you have your room design somewhere in your overall build. For example, if you created a Holiday Shopping room, you can build the whole shopping mall if you'd like. To help with proper stream placement, please state the lot you used to build and share your entry.

Happy New Year 2023! Ringing in the new year makes me think of getting a refresh, a remodel, a redo .. it's like a fresh start and having the courage to try new things .. Like new fashion in our case!
Creative Direction & Rules:
Create TWO different sims. Style 1 sim in fashion don'ts and style the other in fashion do's. Write a fun story about your pair. For example, why did the first sim decide to wear what they wear? Is it gifts gone wrong, zero fashion sense, something else? Who is the second? Style icon, retail mogul, off duty in fab style fashion police? Will the second sim be able to help the first fix their fashion faux pas? I hope you are inspired by making the worst of the worst and the best of the best styles for each of your sims!

Let's take a journey back in sim time to discover more about the ancient sim beings of some of the worlds across simsland. It's up to you to invent a Simsvilization and explain how the sims in your imagined civilization lived back in their time. This challenge theme was inspired by a recent build museum collaboration by @LukasCreatesSims and nanan8. It's a phenomenal build so I hope you check in out in game to inspire your sims creativity. You can find it and all the simazing creations on the #QCC74 tag.
[img][/img]
Creative Direction & Rules:
Create 1 - 8 sims. Imagine what type of sim walked the lands in the past. Think about what the worlds looked like then. How did they live? What did they do for food, culture, community, commerce, etc? Was there a class structure living in peace or constantly fighting factions? Give your simsvilization a name, for example the Oasieans of Oasis Springs or the Groots of Granite Falls.
Here are some suggestions to visualize the styles from these real cultures to make up your fictional ones: Oasis Springs = Egypt & Persia β’ Windenburg = Tudor/Victorian β’ Brindleton Bay = Pirates β’ Strangerville = Cowsboys/Natives β’ Sulani = Islanders/Island beings β’ Komorebi = Japanese/Asian β’ Tartosa = Greek/Roman β’ Selvadorada = Aztec/Maya β’ Granite Falls = Caveman.
Please remember the real historical civilizations are for help in your visualizations of what your sims could look like. It is up to you to invent your own sims civilization that would grace the halls of simsworld's most prominent museum, The Grand Windenburg Museum.

I'm running so far behind so I hope you've already managed to find our new QCC theme information! The G Stream Team and I were so inspired by the new Simtimates lingerie kit that this creative concept was spontaneously made during a recent live stream.
Creative Direction & Rules:
G (that's me) believes that luxury lingerie needs to be available to every body. My philosophy is "only the best for our chests & the rest!"
There is a build challenge component this time too! If you're interested, download the premade shell under the #QCC75 tag in the gallery.

The focus is all about family for this new theme. We've been dreaming about more activities for babies to senior sims and very soon our dreams will come true!
Creative Direction & Rules:
Family .. what does that mean to you? Generations connected by sim genetics from the newest of beginnings to the end days. Your mission is to make sims of various ages you instantly connect to and want to raise.
You can create 1-8 sims that must be connected by genetics. Moms, dads, grandparents, siblings and most importantly a pregnancy! Yes, your household will be 100% ready to play with actual sim babies on update day! We've waited so long to have babies in game that are more than simple objects which gets me so excited to see the new baby effects π

Feel free to continue watching from there as we talk more about it. I was thinking it would be cool if you connect your family to the new EP Growing Together! You can talk about the new world of San Sequoia, imagine your family is neighbors with the Micaelsons or talk about the activities/interactions you are most excited to do in game. Try pretending like you already have this EP and tell your sims generational story in whatever way inspires you! π If you want to learn more about "Growing Together" for inspiration, here's an official guided tour by EA.
