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 - Rainseeker Home

So just a quick recap here, Aremis has just left for Private School, Sierra is in her last trimester, Tom is painting as always, and apparently Monica spent all night on the chess table, because she was still here when they woke up. Too bad she doesn't gain logic from it at other people's houses.

"Err, Sierra," Aremis asked with concern in his voice, " are you sure you should be eating cheesecake when you're pregnant?"


Probably not a good for the baby, but she was starving and kept falling asleep in her food.


Sierra: I can't believe you did this to me Tom!!!!
Tom: But honey, I thought you wanted to have my child.
Like most women, Sierra went into labour in the wee hours of the night, 3:20 am to be precise.


And here's little Billy Rainseeker. The heir to the house. He's so cute.


And then there were two. This is little Bobby Rainseeker. You see what happens when you eat cheesecake while pregnant Sierra? At the moment the twins look exactly alike, so you'll just have to take my word for which is which.


Tom is delighted, not one son, but two! He loved Mom, but had secretly always wanted a son to pass his name on to. Maybe Mom would be less jealous of the twins since they were boys. Or maybe it would make her more jealous, only time would tell.


The livingroom was quickly converted into a nursery. Afterall, the family didn't even own a tv and the phone was just fine in the kitchen.


The sofa and bookcase were moved to Aremis' room. At least if he brought a date home they could make out on the sofa in here instead of in front of the twins, if they made it as far as the bedroom. Tom and Sierra knew that Aremis wouldn't take advantage of this and take things all the way with any of his girlfriends, because he'd learned from an early age how tough it had been on his own mother to be a young single mom.


They think alike....


They wet themselves at the same time....


They sleep at the same time... I'll be really suprised if these guys aren't clones.


Tom knows he won't get to see the boys grow-up, so he spends a lot of time with them now. He knows he'll be able to watch over them after he's gone, but it's not the same as being able to hold them.

Even Sierra seems to be realising that Tom will be gone soon and wants to spend as much time as possible with him right now.

Poor Aremis has had a major breakout of acne, but as you can see he's quite happy to help take care of his uncles, even when they stink!

They really are terrific parents

One more point for a scholarship, plus friendship with Sierra, works for me!

Birthday Time!


This move should be renamed flying toddler.


And the toddler races for the wobbly wabbit are on, in the lead is Bobby followed closely by Billy. They may look alook, and dress alike but their personalities differ greatly.

Billy Rainseeker
Neat-10, Outgoing-3, Active-9, Playful-3, Nice 1
Scorpio

Bobby Rainseeker
Neat-5, Outgoing-3, Active-7, Playful-3, Nice 7
Pisces

Tom begins toddler skilling Bobby while Sierra and Billy sleep. Of course, by the end of 24 hrs, both were completely trained and ready to start building charisma!

They may not be Popularity sims yet, but in this house, it's expected that you make as many friends as possible the moment you can talk.

Ahhh... cheesecake twins. They really do look alike. I wonder if it will stay that way into childhood?

As for the question in your last post: I have active/clean sims, because I tend to prefer them. Sloppy sims are good for fast eating, but they break things easily and cause nasty puddles.

Actually that's my preference too. Whenever I attempt a legacy my founder is usually Neat-9, Outgoing-2, Active-9, Playful-0, Nice-5. Basically a revised Virgo. But with the joy of prosperity you don't get to choose, sigh. At least the twins are halfway neat, and both are very active.
