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 - Sim State Uni - Junior Year

Whispering Winds Greek House

Mmm, pizza, the breakfast of choice of college students everywhere.

Aremis was really missing Tina. He was so busy making friends that he hardly spent any time with her. He decided he would take an evening off of friend making for a date. Of course they fell in love.

He was amazed when she agreed to engagement. Afterall, he wasn't a very good boyfriend he only took her on dates about twice a year.

But the woohoo was amazing. Here it was the first time for both of them and she agreed to the hottub. He couldn't wait to start married life with her. He knew he'd never get bored with a woman this adventurous.

Meanwhile Samantha had decided it was time for a new look. Afterall, college was the time for experimentation.

And Cadence had maxed out her creativity. She now had a steady source of aspiration points, no longer did she need to worry about budgets, she could always paint herself some more money.

Aremis also maxed out his creativity. He loved talking on the phone with his friends, but eventually he needed to do something fun.

There's a new band in town Kirsty and The Cow. They're actually very good, this guy should be cheering, but he hasn't been greeted.

"I can't wait to come to college," Kirsty thought to herself. "This is so the life"

Cadence had decided she needed something with a little more bling to wear. Besides, she deserved it, she had enough friends to get someone else to write her term papers, but enough integrity to do it herself.

Of course, term papers are a major bummer, so she and Samantha decided to start their own girl band out in the garage. Maybe next time Kirsty's over she can join them and leave the cow behind.


Kronos Dorms

Ugh, it's Ricky. Now, I hate Ricky, but unfortunately Aremis and Samantha like him and really wanted him to join them at college. If you'll take a second to look at his shirt, you'll notice that not only is it pink, it's also got a half-naked devil woman on it. Can you guess his aspiration? Yeah, he's Romance.

Ricky Cormier
Aspiration: Romance
LTW: Woohoo with 20 Sims
Personality: Neat-2, Outgoing-8, Active-2, Playful-6, Nice-7
Sign: Libra
Turn-Ons: Glasses & Hats, Turn-Off: Black Hair

This is Kronos dorm will Ricky will be living until such time as I need him at the Greek House to keep it open.

I sent Ricky right to the computer to start his homework. If he's going to insist on being part of my community then I'm gonna make him pay for it every chance I get.

And these are Ricky's dorm mates. You'll notice he has to SS members right there at home for easy access. Ricky's mission for now will be to give love to all the ugly college girls. Can't have a potential spouse falling in love with Ricky afterall, but there are plenty of girls here that I wouldn't let near my breeding pool.

Ricky loves this dorm, between the hottub and the pools, the girls run around in their swimsuits all the time.

I told Ricky he needed to lose the haircut, and then just because I'm evil and mean, I gave him the bad guy beard and mustache. Heh heh heh. Suffer Ricky, I hate you.

And his first girlfriend is....Melanie Gothier. I ALMOST feel sorry for him.

It's pathetic when a Romance sim gets his first kiss in college, but llama dude approves.

Ricky bought this with the proceeds of his first term. Gotta makeover his potential "dates". Honestly if they looked like most of his dates I'd be hiding as much of their faces as possible too.

He may have dated Melanie first, but he fell in love with Jaqueline first. She's actually pretty, but I let him have her since they were already best friends.

First Woohoo!

Ricky's made a list and befriended all of his potential victims, remember he only needs 10 not 20. I may even let him stay Romance since I've got all of college to get this out of the way. Then I can force him to settle down and start a family.

Wow, I almost feel bad for Ricky... almost. I hate it when the townie teens go to college wants clog up the want panel. Makes me want to start purging. I try to keep teens from befriending townies now, unless they're planning on dating them and taking them to college.

On another note, that bowling outfit never fails to crack me up. What was Maxis thinking? I know bowling outfits aren't supposed to be the most stylish form of dress, but wow. Hilarious.

*snicker* I like Ricky's new look!

In my game, he is very close to death. He married another romance sim after the birth of their twins and she had child with another man. After their marriage, he think he remained faithful and now he runs a robot store while helping with his grandchildren.
