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 3 - Round 5 - 5 Maple Square (Rainseeker)

Welcome home Aremis! The town is getting bigger so there may be a few more changes coming to things like addresses and family trees. Some of these families are getting quite large and I haven't quite decided on the best way to display all this. You've been warned. And now I'm proud to introduce the newly grown-up Aremis Rainseeker.


Aremis Rainseeker
Aspiration: Popularity
LTW: Become Captain Hero
Personality: Neat-4, Outgoing-10, Active-4, Playful-4, Nice-3
Sign: Leo
Turn-Ons: Hats & Formal Wear, Turn-Off: Blonde Hair


This is Aremis' humble home. He ran out of money before the contractors (Pinecat of TSR, she's featured so you need to be a paid subscriber to get her stuff. The name of the house is Twas The Night Before Christmas) could finish building, so he'll be having them finish the house as he earns money. A/N: The original house was christmas themed and since it's now almost February (hurry up! I want my Seasons) I wasn't in the mood for that anymore, so the decor is very different from the creator's original house. She's very talented.


This was all he could afford for furnishings, and some of this is stuff he brought back from Uni.


The first thing Aremis did was look for a job. He had to temporarily sell his bed and the gamestation to buy this, but you get better jobs. Unfortunately there wasn't an opening in Law Enforcement, so he took the highest paying job offered.


And this is how he spent the rest of the day. He might have wanted to greet the welcome wagon, but I think he now has quite enough friends, thank-you very much. The only new friends he's allowed to make from now on are family members. And yes Aremis, that means you have to make friends with Neil, even if you don't view him and Sierra as family members in your little sim world.


The next morning he went off to work as a Dinosaur Cloner. Hurry up Aremis, Dagmar's coming and she's usually nuts to join any legacy she can get her claws, err, I mean hands onto. Aremis has quite a bit of house work waiting for him. A stray dug a hole, the toilet broke, and he needs to recycle some newspapers.


What a great way to start a new life together, a passionate kiss under the stars, sigh, I wish my life was this romantic.


Time to grow-up, please don't screw it up....


Argh!!!! Did I not just finish saying that I WASN'T in the mood for christmas?!?!


Aremis didn't want to ask Sierra and Neil if he could borrow their chaple, and since money was tight, they had a small private ceremony right at home.


Tina doesn't really want a job, but I figure she can earn some money while on maternity leave. No, she's not pregnant yet. Then it'll be off for new clothes and a makeover.


Introducing the new and improved Tina Schehl-Rainseeker.

Tina Rainseeker
Aspiration: Family
LTW: Have 6 Grandchildren
Personality: Neat-6, Outgoing-3, Active-6, Playful-4, Nice-6

It must be true love, because she doesn't even care that they're sleeping on a hide-a-bed.


Well they tried Tuesday and nothing, but Wednesday night there was a sweet little snatch of music.


This is a cry for help, has anyone seen a hack/patch that fixes the glitch that causes user controlled sims to half-an-hour putting down the roses, picking them up, and putting them down again? Please????


Yay! Baby on Board! At exactly 10pm Thursday night she popped out, although you can hardly tell!
