Challenges as a solo skater
This weeks challenges are just "**bleep** you for playing alone " it seems? I have no intentions of partying up or doing OTL, so i guess ill just have to deal with not doing most of the challenges because youve decided that im a loser? What a pain in the **bleep** that probably doesnt affect that many people, but its still really annoying👍
One Month One World One Year Challenge 2026
Hello and welcome. :) This challenge was started by Karababy52 (see more here) and I would like to continue it on for another year if I can. Hopefully more people can join in. The more the merrier! The premise of this challenge is pretty simple. The goal is to post one in-game screenshot once a day during the 2026 year. So, kind of like a 365 project for your sims. You will start out with a teen sim and pick your starting world. I'll share a list of suggestions, but really you can pick whatever you want. Your sim will be a teen for 3 real world months, then age-up to Young Adult in April. They will spend 4 months as a Young Adult, then age-up to Adult in July. They will spend 4 more months as an Adult, then age-up to Elder in December. Each month your sim will move to a new world to explore. I've taken all the rules and guidelines here and copied them over from Karababy52's 2023 post and edited them slightly. Rules/Guidelines: One screenshot post per real life day in this thread with a short text summary. One world per real life month - See monthly schedule of worlds in spoiler below. Optional: May change schedule of worlds to reflect your preferences. Your challenge Sim MUST be a teen to officially begin this challenge and post in the thread. Exception: If you are starting the challenge late, you may begin in the current month at whatever age the challenge is at, or you may start as a teen to quickly finish your aspiration and school, then fast forward to the current age. (Example - if you start in April you may hurry through the teen stage and age up to YA, or just start as YA). After three real life months have passed, your Sim will age up to young adult for four months, adult for four months and finally, age up to an elder for December. Timeline posted in spoiler below. Optional: How long your Sim stays in each life stage, teen-elder, is at your own discretion. However, they are required to be at minimum a young adult to attend Uni in Britechester. *Note: If you own the High School Years EP, your Sims may be offered early graduation. If they take the offer, your teen is allowed to apply, enroll, and attend university or join full-time adult careers. Begin Rags to Riches style on an empty lot with 0 simoleons. Optional: Use the 20,000 starting simoleons to buy a starter home and furnish it how you want. Aging off. Optional: May use long lifespan. All unplayed residential worlds are off limits for any kind of travel. Exception: Newcrest may be designated a 'neutral' world to place venues for your Sim to use regardless of their current world residence. Optional: Newcrest may be used to replace a pack you don't own instead. Optional: Your sim may travel to other worlds not used in the challenge if they get an invitation. Sims may take a vacation to any of the designated vacations worlds. Rental lots in unplayed residential worlds are off limits. Aspirations released with a world must be fulfilled first. May choose a base game or other pack aspiration not in the challenge to complete afterward. Optional: Only one aspiration released with a world must be completed before choosing base game or other pack aspirations. Willow Creek, Oasis Springs, Newcrest and Magnolia Promenade may be used in substitution for worlds listed in the challenge for packs you may not own. In that event, choose one or two base game or other packs aspirations not in the challenge to complete per world. Your Sim may marry and/or have children. Aging up children is at your own discretion. High School attendance is not required. May use cheats to fulfill daily/promotional task requirements. *Exception: Applicable only if you do not own the High School Years EP or if you do own it, but have elected not to have your Sim live in Copperdale and do the aspirations associated with the EP in your challenge. The beginning of each new month/world starts Rags to Riches style. Optional: Your Sim may keep everything they have accumulated and use their funds to buy or build a new house, or even move their house to their new world. If your challenge Sim dies, it's game over. Optional: You may bring them back to life and continue or use another existing Sim in the household to complete the challenge. Or, keep playing as a ghost! Occult states and Celebrity statuses must be removed when progressing to the next month/world. Optional: May keep acquired lifestates/statuses. *Note: Vampires can't get a suntan, which is a Beach Life aspiration task. If a new world is released with a new pack at any time during 2026, you have the option to swap the new world with another prior released world. Give yourself a break and don't stress over days missed due to internet outages, vacations/holidays, real life work/responsibilities or sickness. Extra story screenshots may be posted, but try to keep it to around 5-10 max. There's no limit for screenshots shared on your blog. May use satisfaction points to buy rewards. Exception: Money tree seeds are disallowed. Lottery tickets are disallowed for purchase. Beginning season, length of days and moon phases are your choice. May turn off or cheat away/change all Eco Lifestyle features applied to worlds. Exception: Must be turned on while living in Evergreen Harbor. May participate in all default Holidays, modify, delete and/or add your own. May include a link to your preferred Blog site with additional story text/screenshots, in addition to your Daily Post Pic/Text Summary. Mod friendly challenge! However, please use discretion when using them. Using a mod to fulfill an aspiration is disallowed. Exception: May be used to correct bugs and/or glitches. Worlds/Packs and Age-Up Timeline: *Note: Feel free to replace any pack you don't own with one of your choosing! Beginning Age: Teen January - Copperdale (Highschool Years) OR Nordhaven (Businesses and Hobbies) if you choose to do Copperdale third (I just feel like starting with it). February - Gibbi Point (Adventure Awaits) March - Nordhaven (Businesses and Hobbies) OR Copperdale (Highschool Years) April 1st: Age up to Young Adult April - Britechester (Discover University) May - Innisgreen (Enchanted by Nature) June - Ciudad Enamorada (Lovestruck) July - Tomarang (For Rent) August 1st: Age up to Adult August - Moonwood Mill (Werewolves) September - Tartosa (My Wedding Stories) October - Ondarion / vacation in Batuu (Royalty and Legacy / Star Wars) November - Evergreen Harbor (Eco Lifestyle) December 1st: Age up to Elder December - Ravenwood (Life and Death) Challenge End Date: December 31, 2026 Challenge Pack Aspirations (Pick one, or play them all): January - Live Fast, Admired Icon, Goal Oriented, Drama Llama *Note - Challengers who own HSY not living in Copperdale this month may complete the Live Fast and Drama Llama aspirations at any time as a teen.

Optional: Choose any aspiration if you don't want to do Soulmate October - Social Puppeteer, Hope Vs. Order, Galactic Privateer November - Master Maker, Eco Innovator December - Ghost Historian I chose the list of worlds based on my personal preferences and packs I haven't fully explored yet, so feel free to change it however you like. The main goal of the challenge is just to pick a new world each month and post one screenshot per real life day.

Petite Alsace collaboration - Open for participation!
Happy New Year and welcome to another Sims 3 community collaboration hosted by Hidehi2 , Sandraelle and soocoolsim ! Introducing Petite Alsace inspired by picturesque Strasbourg, Colmar and Ribeauville with a dual French and German blend of charming, flower-laden villages and half-timbered homes. We anticipate the completed world will be a lovely addition to your game. Experienced creators (Intermediate+) are invited to join us in creating builds to add to the base world. If you love decorating but building isn’t your forte, let us know and we'll try to build a shell for you. Everyone can experience Petite Alsace taking shape by downloading the base world and installing builds as they become available. Please keep an eye on the "News and Updates" post for milestones and links to new creations as they become available. Constructive comments throughout this event are also welcome, so don't be shy. Without further ado, onto the details below and come join in the fun! LOT LISTINGS Map A: Colmar (Medieval, half-timbered houses with flower-filled balconies) Map B: Ribeauville (Pastel, half-timbered 15th - 18th century houses) Map C: Ribeauville Outskirts (Farming area) Map D: Strasbourg (City area, mix of old and new buildings) Map E: Avenue du Rhin (Wine region) Map F: Route de Alsace (Rural area) CLAIMING OVERVIEW Download the empty Petite Alsace base world created by the talented Hidehi2. Take a look at the available lots using the Map posts as reference (see links above). Indicate you're on board and sign up for your first claim by replying on this thread with your chosen map lot reference # (eg A8). I will update the lists with claims and add download / media links when builds are completed. Every two weeks (around the 1st and 15th of the month) a new claiming period starting with a 'Claiming Day' post will begin. During this period, if you join the collaboration or have a build in progress on Claiming Day, you can claim 1 lot. For ongoing participants, if all previously claimed builds are completed and (no cc) download link(s) submitted by Claiming Day, you may claim up to 2 lots. BUILDING GUIDELINES Please stay within the theme of each map area and overall Alsace inspiration. You have creative freedom otherwise. Inspiration links at the top of this post may be helpful. All / any EA Expansion Packs, Stuff Packs and official Store Items can be used. Free EA Store Items are OK for use. Note: Some are no longer available for download so use at your discretion. NO third-party Custom Content is allowed. Please Custard Check your exported file before uploading to double check. We highly recommend play-testing your build before uploading to ensure no routing concerns and users can enjoy as intended. Do test placement of your final build. This helps identify any potential issues (e.g. windows / floor tiles out of place). To do this... export your build, save your game, delete the existing build, then replace with the exported version from your library. Take a careful look around and fix as needed. It will be useful for players if the Petite Alsace lot address is included in your build description on the Exchange, albeit optional. Do take the time to put your best foot forward to make your build(s) shine inside and out. Just be cautious about using a ton of clutter since that can add to lag when playing. Each build will be showcased with credit in video walkthroughs on YouTube once the world is completed. Once your build is available on the Sims 3 Exchange, please post a reply on this thread including: name of build / map reference and/or address / download link / cover picture / custard screenshot confirming no 3rd party custom content included. Optional! Link to additional picture site / thread. SIMS / HOUSEHOLDS This collaboration focuses on builds since the final world save file will be unpopulated, however we are happy to link to Sims / Households created for Petite Alsace. Petite Alsace builders can submit Sims / Households for their completed claims as well as Townie use. All / any EA Expansion Packs, Stuff Packs and official Store Items can be used. Free EA Store Items are OK for use. Note: Some are no longer available for download so use at your discretion. NO third-party Custom Content is allowed. Please Custard Check your exported file before uploading to double check. Once your Sim / Household is available on the Exchange, please post a reply on this thread including: name / map reference or address (or identify as Townie) / download link / 1 cover picture / custard screenshot confirming no 3rd party custom content included.

It’s time to give the elders the spotlight!

Rules: - Create an elder and write a creative story for them. - Use any packs you own except maker packs from the marketplace and no cc or defaults. - Give them at least one distinct item from cas (doesn’t have to be used on every outfit) that can be worked into their story. - Upload with the hashtag #ShellysElders - DUE: August 14th. Entries will be streamed on Saturday, August 15th @ noon EST on my twitch. twitch.tv/shelly_e1 Remember: Elder Sims have lived incredible lives. Make them feel like real people with memories, dreams, and personalities—not just older versions of younger Sims. You might be surprised how much fun they are to create! 💚 🏠💚Thank you to epicbbish on the gallery for creating this amazing retirement community for our elders to be showcased in.

JCGSpark Challenges
Welcome to the JCGSpark Community! Hey everyone, I'm JAY-CAMAROGIRL- (Jay or JCG is fine too!) and I'm so hyped to finally bring my challenge series to the EA Forums. When I'm not neck-deep in Build Mode or creating new stories, I'm a busy SAHM to 3 kiddos and a wife living in Maine. Life is usually a whirlwind of family chaos and cleaning gigs, but The Sims is where I go to relax. As a simmer, I'm all about those deep family dynasties, intricate builds, and finding new ways to tell stories with our pixels. It's been my creative outlet for years, and I love sharing that passion with others✨ What is JCGSpark? I created JCGSpark as a monthly tag to get our community together and just create something cool! I love seeing how everyone interprets a prompt differently. It's honestly one of the best parts of the game for me🖤 Build/CAS Challenges: I like to switch things up! Some months we're focused on floor plans and landscaping. Other months we're diving into CAS to create unique characters and stories. Some are a mix of both! You can choose to build, create a sim, or do both if you're feeling extra inspired! I want everyone to be able to jump in regardless of how they like to play. Stream Showcases: I love celebrating what you all make. I showcase entries live on stream for the JCG Crew so we can all hype each other up and see the talent in our wonderful community🖤 Giveaways: I like to keep things spicy, so I'll sprinkle in giveaways here and there when I'm able to as a thank you for hanging out and participating🖤✨ I'm so excited to see what you all bring to the table. Check the posts below for the current (and past) challenge theme, rules, and to share your entries! ✨🖤Happy Simming🖤✨ JCG Twitch JCG X/Twitter JCG BlueSky JCG Gallery Planet Sims Discord

However, I may choose to challenge you on rooms and builds too as the challenge continues. The rules and creative direction will be posted here each Friday. Create and upload your entry to the gallery beginning each Friday after the new direction/rules post through 11:00PM MST Monday using the hashtag #GLovelysQCC I love to make Maxis nominations so this challenge will help me find some fantastic things created by you much more easily to share in the nominations threads. It would be very helpful for you to review this link on how Maxis chooses creations to fave before you share your entries. https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/955438/how-do-we-choose-our-maxis-faves-curation-guide#latest Randomly I will invite a group of talented creators to judge all of the entries during prize rounds.
