These are the stories of the citizens of Knowlton - A Sims 2 Prosperity Challenge. If you love it, if you hate it, if you saw something you wanted to talk about, PLEASE leave comments. I'm a sad pathetic human, and I live for comments.

For those of you not familiar with what a Prosperity Challenge is, it's a Sims 2 Challenge in which the main focus is to build a prosperous community from scratch. There are a few catches though, everything, including your starting families are determined by the role of a dice (or in my case a randomizer). For the complete rules and setup you have two options the Yahoo! Group or the BBS thread at the official site.

The quick low down on the newly created Knowlton; Knowlton is completely deserted. It's set out in a grid, so at some point in the past it may have even been a city, but that may have been hundreds of years ago, because other than roads for miles around all you see is grass plains. Four daring families have decided (okay have been forced) to make a new start here. So come meet these daring folks, hear their stories, and wish them luck folks, they're going to need it!

Week 2 - Round 3 - Belleosi Home


You know, I was noticing the other day that this is a very active community. Most of the sims living here either want to be a Hall of Famer or be in a career track that requires high body skills. The few who don't follow these rules all seem to be fairly active sims, but most of them are slobs. Which would you rather have? A sloppy sim or a lazy sim? And now on with the story.

And what a way to start a chapter, with a birthday! Eddie's all grown up, personally I think he's quite handsome. They didn't have a party, or even a cake, no money, and while Samantha would have loved a party, guests empty the fridge and since she never learned to study her homework leaves her with very little extra time, especially during the week. And afterall, this is Monday night.

LTW: Become Mad Scientist

Turn-Ons: Red Hair & Glasses Turn-Off: Facial Hair

Even though Eddie's a pretty good cook, they have little money and no stove, so they're always eating jello, it actually took them three plates each to fill up because they were really hungry.


Eddie's obsessed with getting into Knowlton Academy, so he's taken up a new harvesting hobby. Every spare corner of the house has a plant. They just have to be placed in backpacks when company shows up since there are no doors in the house, just archways.


Eddie, like most Knowledge sims, has learned of my obsession with the energizer. On the upside, once he's got his skills, he'll have much more time for his friends and family.


Thanks to Eddie and Sam's harvesting project the interior of the house has recieved a makeover in most rooms. Just in time too, it's Thursday and the headmaster is heading over for a visit, let's hope that what little has been accomplished is enough. Yeah, I know it's bad form to take pictures with walls down and plumbbobs showing (omg, I can't believe I can see your plumbbob you plumbbob flasher!) but it was more efficient than posting shots of each of the rooms. Basically the improvements are good ($5-10) wall and floor coverings in all of the rooms except the bedroom, a stove, a few lights, and two area rugs.


Yay! He likes them! Final score: Food-43, Tour-37, Schmooze-24. I guess I should have found the funds to do over the bedroom too.
