The Sims 4 September Gallery CAS Challenge Highlights

If, like me, you love creating new characters for The Sims 4, it is time you explored Gallery challenges. They are a great way to hone your Create A Sim (CAS) skills and socialize with other Sims 4 players.

For the uninitiated, CAS Gallery challenges are events created by users of The Sims 4 Gallery. The host creates a theme for their challenge.  Themes could be as simple as design a Sim that has a certain hair color or something far more elaborate. Entering is easy as creating an original Sim that fits the theme.

Locating the challenges can be somewhat of a challenge in itself. Rather than making you hunt and peck, I’ve gone through The Gallery and pulled out a selection of CAS challenges being hosted on The Sims 4 Gallery during September.

Because we know that time zones can get confusing we’ve made a special countdown down below that counts to the exact moment of when The Sims 4 Realm of Magic Game Pack should be listed for purchase on Origin.

Artist shares a Simlish Song Session for an unnanounced The Sims 4 Pack

8

Beau Young Prince, an American rapper has just recently shared his latest studio session for his song Big Moe. So, what’s the catch you might ask? The studio session took place to re-record this song entirely in Simlish!

Now, you all may know that each new The Sims 4 Pack brings new Simlish songs – some from real artists that had to re-record their songs in Simlish and some from EA’s audio team which writes and records songs entirely from scratch.

Considering that Beau Young Prince has claimed that the recording session just took place, it means that this song won’t be included in the upcoming pack (The Sims 4 Realm of Magic Game Pack) but some other entirely different pack for The Sims 4.

Check out the snippet down below:

So, to which unnanounced pack for The Sims 4 could this song belong to? Be the judge and listen to the full song in english down below:

Bria Layne – Growing as a Fashion Photographer

0

Starting Out

For a long time, Bria has always been interested in photography and now that she has saved up enough money to move out of her parent’s tiny house, she was able to make that dream a reality. Moving to the big city Bria was to find an apartment big enough for living and space to fit some equipment she managed to buy over time to make a little ‘photo studio’.

It wasn’t easy for Bria to find persons who were willing to give her a shot because she was an amateur but she was still hopeful because she was confident in her photography skill. While walking in the city Bria decided to take some photos of the scenery and upload them to Simstagram, while doing this someone noticed and took an interest in her, soon after that Bria was headed for great things.

The First Big Client

After a few clients/models, taking photos for couples, family photos even head shots, Bria was able to get her name out there and show people what she was capable of which made her a bit recognizable. In about a month Bria managed get more confident and people started to really appreciate her work.

While checking her email, Bria noticed she received an email from Octavia Moon requesting her to take the photos for her upcoming style shoot her because she was preparing for her album release. Bria was elated to have a client such as Octavia recognize her work and replied to the email instantly agreeing to do it.

Bria didn’t expect Octavia to be a nice person, she always thought everyone from the Pinnacles were self absorbed but she was wrong. Octavia was a really humble person and the way she treated her crew made Bria realize that not everyone was as high maintenance as she thought.

The job for Octavia took about three days to complete, making sure everything was perfect and there were no flaws with the photos. Octavia was really grateful for Bria, not only because she came through with the job, but because she was impressed at how professional Bria came out to be during this time.

Noticed

In a matter of time, Bria managed to get her name out in the open. She was able to obtain a lot of high profile models, being the photographer her some of the the most famous companies and she was also able to get a real studio during this time. People were aware of Bria and who she was but with appreciation comes disregard and there was a lot of that when Bria came into the spotlight but that didn’t stop her from doing what she did best.

Bria was really happy with what she had accomplished from being a photographer. If it wasn’t for her moving to the city she wouldn’t met the man in the city nor would she have been recognized for her talent.
