Pack you bags, book your trip and
TAKE a HIKE with Frankie Shirey!
Does your sim need to get away from it all?
Are they maybe trying to get over their failed marriage (like our main man here), or forget a relationship that shouldn't have happened? Maybe they're running from their tragic past, or seeking a cleansing experience to cure their raging alcoholism! Or maybe they just hecking love nature, or need a way to finish their frog collections in an organized environment. Whatever the reason, BACKPACKING ACROSS SIMNATION promises to bring together total strangers in rudimentary accommodations, where we all are forced to face the harsh yet freeing simplicity of camping.
MAX 7 PARTICIPANTS 🏕️
🧭 No eliminations, we're all in this 'til the end
🧭 Romantic goal not guaranteed nor required, the challenge will go with the flow! Main focus on storytelling and building relationships and experiences!
• any gender, young adult, adult or elder
• human only
• rich backstory encouraged, family members/pets/household also welcome (they won't be part of the challenge, but they're free to roam to world)
• can have skills, any level you want
• please add likes and dislikes as much as you want
• no alpha hair, clothes can be maxis mix
• can have multiple outfits per category, but keep in mind that we're camping in the wilderness!
I use Wicked Whims, Lumpinou's Relationship & Pregnancy Overhaul Collection, Basemental drugs, so sim can have traits and other features based on them. (Such as wicked attributes, thoughts on kids etc.) Sliders and presets are fine! I have my own defaults so please don't include any override cc though!
Deadline for entries is the end of October, or until there's enough backpackers.
Tag #takeahikechallenge and @kirsicca
she needs someone to tell her that it’s okay to be sad. someone who will hold her hand when she’s crying. someone who will listen to her rant about her favorite movies. someone kind. someone who makes her not want to let go of their hand (unless it’s sweaty ew gross).
Clary Wiggins is looking for someone who’s willing to teach her how to properly love someone with passion and kindness.
1. 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐲 — a shortened form of her name; everyone calls her this.
2. 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 — her granny’s fave and only nickname for her.
𝐅𝐮𝐧 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐓𝐢𝐝𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐬:
1. “I have two fur kids and they’re both exhausting.” — Being a magizoologist, Clary has taken in many animals to rehabilitate them and then release them back into the wild; but sometimes, that doesn’t always happen. She has two derpy companions: Cricket the Caracal & Percy (Percival) the Fox. She loves both of them very dearly. They follow her everywhere.
2. “What is love truly like? Seriously.”— After getting dumped, Clary has basically put love and relationships off the table. When she was with her ex, she had fallen out of love with them a while back, but clung to the relationship as a safety net for comfort. When her ex dumped her, they told her that they knew the spark was gone. Both of them were clinging to a relationship that was going nowhere.
3. “Butterflies??”— Clary knew that her past relationship was going nowhere, but she can be a creature of habit sometimes. She liked the comfort of having person by her side. In the end though, her ex was better off as a friend than a romantic partner. Clary has never really felt “butterflies” for anyone in her previous relationships. They were all relationships of convenience and proximity. Now that she’s single, she’s been reflecting back on them realizing how passive she’s been. She’s scared she won’t ever find someone who makes her feel butterflies.
4. “They are the ones that saved me.”— Clary likes to think that helping animals was always her calling. She can’t see herself doing anything else. When she was younger, she found a lot of comfort in animals books and her favorite plushies. Her father was also a well known magizoologist so she grew up taking care of animals. Her work comes before anything else; well maybe except her family lol.
5. “Omg this is my song!!”— If there is one thing Clary loves more than animals and her family, it’s dancing. If she hears a good tune, she can’t help but move her body. Sometimes if it’s too good of a tune, she’ll start busting out moves. She’s the type to dance in the middle of the supermarket if she hears a good song come on. She can dance to literally anything.
6. “Are you a robot or something?”— Clary is good at many things: her job, being a decent person, and much more. Her only weakness is that she hates showing her emotions. She doesn’t like showing any negative emotions to people because it feels strange to tell people, “hey i’m like super sad and got my ass dumped like a month ago. oh sorry too much?”. In her department, she is considered to be the standard for many of the other magizoologists there. She’s so afraid of making a mistake that she works herself to death. People need to tell her to chill lol.
7. “What are you doing!”— Clary is very very shy when it comes to affection. In her past relationships, it took like three months into the relationship for anything to really happen. Besides her granny, her family is not affectionate at all. She feels really awkward giving hugs. She secretly loves affection (think hand holding and soft touches), but is very nervous when it comes to initiating. It takes time to win her heart. Someone teach this girl how to love omg wtf.
➌ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞?
“I really like fun dates where you get to know the person better. Dates like having a picnic, watching movies at a drive-in theatre, exploring a museum— stuff like that is nice. I really like having quality time with people. I just want to be next to them, you know. I wanna soak up their presence and talk about stupid topics like how a cat named Stubbs was the mayor of a small town in Alaska until 2017. RIP Stubbs, I miss you buddy!”
➍ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩?
“Well, almost all of my past relationships were not great, hahaha. It was definitely me though. I have a hard time opening up to people. Some people just aren’t patient enough and get tired of me, you know. It’s sad, but hey that’s life. Anyways, I’m rambling. My ideal relationship would obviously be one where both partners are equal. I want a relationship that makes me feel giddy every time I see them. I know relationships aren’t all about romance and tender moments, but a girl can dream.”
“Besides being a hopeless romantic like myself, it would be lovely if my partner was someone who enjoyed the tiny things in life. I can be quite self-deprecating to the point it’s almost self loathing so someone who tells me to knock it off with that shit would be nice. I want someone who loves me for me, flaws and all.”
➎ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞?
“Hmm, some self introspection, huh? love that. Well, let’s see...On the outside, many people have told me that I’m very helpful and kindhearted. I love helping people. It just comes naturally. It feels strange not to be like “hey there buddy, need some help?”. Maybe it’s just me. I’m not nice all the time though, that’s just not realistic. I’m very introverted and love my alone time. I often need space from others to reflect and examine my emotions. Because of this, I have a tendency to push people away sometimes— not intentionally of course, but it happens.”
“Nobody really knows this, but I’m a total softie. I cry a lot. I think it’s because I care about people too much. I know I don’t show it on my face, but on the inside, i’m always freaking out about something. I’m a huge worry wart, it’s almost a problem. Good thing, I keep it to myself haha. I’m also someone who overthinks way too much. I’m quite erratic with my emotions, more mentally than physically.”
“At the end of the day, I’m just a worrying pushover who’s a HUGE ride or die for people. I can seem robotic at times due to my poker face, but please know I’m silently worrying about you. I have emotions. I’m more quiet around crowds, but when around close friends, I’m screaming like a banshee about who I hate the most in Tiger King.”
*For any peeps applying, you can literally copy and paste this and use it as a template.
Clementine “Clem” Anara for @desysimmer Blake Scott BC.
Age: 23
Aspiration: Beach Life
Traits: Clumsy, Ambitious, Vegetarian
Occupation: Environmental Specialist.
Clementine was born to a loving family in Evergreen Harbor, she lived a quaint life, her parents away from home fairly often for work and she often found herself alone with negative thoughts. Growing up she was completely different to how she is now... Rigid, gloomy and cold would be the first words that came to mind when thinking about her younger self. It wasn't until she realized that her surroundings affected her, that she grew an interest in caring for the planet and started to change. After months of studying and researching on climate change and the like, she tried to improve the Eco footprint of Evergreen Harbor but ultimately failed, no one cared enough over there to even listen to what she had to say. Tired of living in a place where she was unhappy and couldn't change anything, she moved to Sulani after graduating and now she lives the life of her dreams but all that's missing is someone for her to share it with.
Some fun facts,
She is 5′3,
ENFP,
She is an only child, but she got a goldfish when younger and still has it to this day.
She is never seen angry or upset over the little things.
Due to her carefree nature, she is often seen as childish and unable to maintain a proper relationship because she isn’t serious enough.
She enjoys to drink but finds it more fun when she doesn’t.
Due to her feelings when younger, she makes it a priority that she enjoys every moment as if it were her last, but this has also caused her to lose touch with her more emotional side.
Despite her rambunctious mannerisms, her work style is all consistent effort, seldom getting sidetracked.
She doesn’t have a tv or microwave at home.
She is often seen with more bruises on her body than freckles.
She visits Evergreen Harbor once a month to see her parents and to get people to sign petitions to reduce the Eco footprint that Evergreen H. produces.

DEADLINE JULY 5TH
WHAT IS A “SELECTION”?
the concept is based on the book “the selection” and it’ by s follow-ups kiera cass. you can find more information about it here and on the selection wiki!
if you don’t want to read, it’s basically the same thing as a bachelorette/bachelor challenge, the only difference is that blaire is a princess and the sim who wins gets to marry the princess and in turn become a princess herself :).
if you have questions, to be afraid to dm me or send an ask!
INFORMATION ABOUT BLAIRE
since birth, blaire’s been trained to be kind and poised; the picture perfect girl with the brightest smile. but behind that is a girl who just wants to have fun. the magazines and papers might show a calm and collected girl with an amazing taste in fashion; but her private social media’s shows a girl with a fashion obsession and a knack for making her parents (the king and queen, that is...) go absolutely crazy. she loves her country and the people, and would do everything for them. including “falling in love for views”. apparently.
extra: snippets from blaire’s private simstagram ‘royaltea’
so guess who decided to do a bachelorette challenge? me beech. it’s taken like a week to plan and prepare everything so fingers cross this works out lol. for this bachelorette challenge, i’m combining discord and my blog to tell the love story of this girl, clary wiggins. Instead of letting gameplay decide what happens, chosen suitors (u guys) will roll a die in the discord. It will either positively or negatively affect the outcome of your dates and relationship with clary. the discord server will be released soon.
*In the links above, those will help with filling in the story for people who need more context. In the read more, it’s just the entry rules.
The deadline for this challenge is May 17th
**I changed the date because some people wanted an extension! this is the only change I will make to the deadline. This is the final date!
***also if you don’t want to join the discord aspect of the bc challenge, i’ll just roll for you!

arin grew up in a strict family that pressured him into academics. he did well, but it wasn’t up to his parent’s standards. he loves them nonetheless, but he’d much rather stay in his room, drawing and writing his own comics. he knows it’s a childish dream, but he loves doing it, and will spend his spare time storyboarding and sketching until the sun comes up.
✎he lives in a tiny cottage in windenburg.
✎apart from self-publishing his graphic novels for spare cash, he has a part-time job as a barista that he squeezes in between ruthless university classes.
✎he’s kind of a plant dad. maybe a lot of a plant dad.
✎if he could have a 4th trait, it would be neat. he loves his Magic Eraser.
