Seasons of Love Challenge
If you want a mini-challenge that centers on romance, story, and gameplay, then this might be the perfect challenge for you! I introduce to you, the Seasons of Love Challenge! Pair up or create four pairs and be the matchmaker and the writer of their destiny. Get indulged with their story and help them find love by the end of the season!
For each season, we have different couple that may or may not fall in love before the season ends. I recommend that you edit the in-game season length, it can be up to 7, 12, 21 or 25 days per season, depending to you. This challenge can either be rotational or generational, it’s completely up to you. 
Feel free to remove and add some more activities to the following. These are not really rules, but more like guides or checklist that you can do so that you won’t run out of ideas to do for each round, and hopefully, help progress the relationship of the each pair. 
For those who prefer slow-burn romance (like me!) there’s a Slowburn Romance Edition by the end with some set of rules, be sure to check that out! This is supposedly a personal challenge for my game, but I thought it would be nice to share it with the community. If you do this challenge, please don't forget to add the hashtag #TS3SeasonsofLove and mention me, I would love to see other simmers enjoy this little challenge that I've created 💖
Note: You may play this in any order.
SUMMER
trope:  enemies to lovers
backstory:
 - sim A is demoted from her work because of her hotheaded nature, and was assigned in this town where her grandparents/(or) sister live. She absolutely hates that, she wants to go up the ladder and build her name, but how can she do that now that she's demoted and stuck in this town?
 - sim B is carefree and enigmatic, living his life to the fullest. He used to get sick a lot when he was a child and now that he's a teen and rarely gets sick anymore, he wants to break free from those restrictions and do the things he hasn't done in his childhood. 
how things started:
  ~ Just few days before his birthday, sim B is feeling rebellious and wants to spend the best of his teenage days, even if that means breaking the curfew. So, he stayed out late with his friends to party and even went to the beach and lit some fireworks just before he go home. But, on his way home, the police patrol saw him! He knew he's so screwed, but what can he do? He plead with the cop, which happens to be Sim A, but she don't take any of his bullshit. Which eventually leads to some misunderstanding, fight and disliking each other. Guess the last of his teenage day is remarkable afterall, especially if you're being escorted back to your house in police car. 
  ~ If things aren't already worst as they are, he, unfortunately, bumped with the same cop again when she joined the surfing/scuba diving club. Oh well, guess they have to see each other a lot now. Will this be the perfect summer as he imagined, or will it be totally ruined because of that one hot-headed cop?

Make them do couple poses and take amazing photos of them together!

I recently got inspired to do this sims 3 challenge called seasons of love created by @ann-ndsims! Thank you so much for creating such an interesting challenge. I haven't been inspired much to get back to the Sims 3, and this really helped!
These are my two sims for the 1st Gen!
Name: Royce Rodríguez
Age: 19
Traits: Childish, Athletic, Loves the sea
As a kid, Royce was always sick, so he never got to enjoy his childhood much. He is the youngest of his three siblings. As he got older, he got better. Eventually, he got better and was able to go out more. He found he enjoyed being by the beach a lot hanging out with friends surfing or snorkeling.
Name: Danielle Jones
Age: 21
Traits: Grumpy, Natural Cook, Snob
Danielle is the oldest of her two siblings she was recently demoted in her job and was stationed in her grandparents' hometown, where her little sister also stays for university. She hates it in her grandparents' home town, and she is going to do everything in her power to get promoted and get out of there.

Wave Morales
Meet the newest lifeguard of Salmon Woods, Wave Morales. After finally having a place of his own, Wave realized that it's not so easy to be independent after all. He needs a job! Well, he loves swimming; and despite being mischievous, he has a great sense of duty to help others. And oh, he also opened The Surfer's Club and it's growing with new members. This might be the perfect time to explore the world-- free and on his own. Things could go really, really well for him assuming that he won't meet that cop who arrested him and made him grounded on his birthday. Surely, that's not possible to happen, right?
side note: Wave is actually a premade sim previously named Demetrius made by @johziii !!! thanks a bunch🩷

First meet? More like, first fight. Because the first time that they met each other, they're already munching their face into hotdogs, competing for silly festival tickets.
Participate in hotdog eating contest✅
you know he's already plotting some mischief in his mind when he lost to her at the hotdog eating contest. Wave is someone who totally hates being defeated, so he would always do something to win even after the competition ends. in which he happens to do, curious about that? on to the next😉

Hana Go
Due to her temper, Hana was demoted and transfered at this little town of Salmon Woods where her sister lives. She was notorious for being the (hot)headed cop and, well, this is where it brought her. She's very competitive that even in silly games, she won't allow to be defeated. For sure, this demotion is a test for her! And she would do everything to get back on her place and climb thru the ranks, then she could get out of this small town. The only redeeming factor of Salmon Woods is its scenic view and that Surfer's Club that she's yet to attend. Will she be able to get out of this town as she planned to? Or does fate have a different plan for her?
side note: i really want to put beautiful close up shots of Hana (i swear she's so attractive) but that third photo of her looking annoyed af after losing in hopscotch fits her description so well hahaha more close up shots on the next posts!

Falling for sure is not intentional, right, Wave? He surely didn't do that to get back on her after losing in the hotdog eating contest. Right?
