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 - Wetstein House

Welcome back to the land of woohoo! Well actually Serena's the only one obsessed with woohoo, but she also needs the most attention. The kids go to school, and Debs happy as long as I keep her provided with thinking caps and energisers. Obviously nothing happened From Monday morning till after 3pm since Deb was the only one home. After that though it was birthday time!
And may I say that I find it hilarious how they all stare at their hands when they grow-up like they don't even belong to them. Also, something seems to be up with my graphics card because everyone looked kinda wooden and jointed today.

Amber Wetstein
Aspiration: Knowledge
LTW: Chief of Staff
Turn-Ons: Black Hair & Glasses, Turn-Off: Vampires


Yet another victim.. I can't even remember their names now there are so many of them.


Serena took Ally back to the town lot to get that public woohoo out of the way. If she ever saves up any money I may have her buy that lot, just so we can keep people out during her dates.


Ah, the profits of promiscuity.


I've decided to start branding partners before one of my helpless sims gets interested. It shouldn't actually be a problem though since Gen 1 is pretty much taken care of, and all the kids will be choosing college sweethearts.


Serena thought this was a sure fire way to get into Private school. Unfortunately she not only didn't get schmooze points, we didn't even get the hottub bonus.


I think Monica may be a little jealous. Besides, Serena wears make-up, and we all know how much Monica hates that. A little professional rivalry dears?


Yup another victim. She also took him home just to be safe.


With all the aspiration boosts she's had lately she finished maxing out her body skill, which just leaves boring charisma and mechanical.


I sent Deb in to save the day the second time Korey came over. I figure he's probably a knowledge sim so he might like her better.


Well between that and Monica chatting with him after we made it. Unfortunately Amber didn't have that want at the time, but it's more because the kids will come home happier. The final score was Food-45, Tour-40, Schmooze-32. I've actually never gotten a schmooze score that high! He's on Monica's list of possibles now, so watch out Korey.


And this is what Amber and Debbie do while everyone else sleeps. I might as well sell their beds, they never use them. The study and energize and occasionnally call friends.


Yeah, I'd look sheepish too if my pregnancy started showing in the middle of a date with a guy I never slept with. I may decide to let everyone in on who the father is later on. There, I've given you a hint, at least you know it was a guy. I told you, I'm equal oppurtunity and my same sex couples get a little help with getting pregnant together.


And that confirms it folks, she had the woohoo with 10 sims want and in her panel and it was fulfilled. That means that she counts the mystery sim, and public woohoo counts as a new sim! So when I take her to the community lot with Alvin that will put her at 11, and we have Korey lined up but we need to make friends with a few more available friends. Maybe Alvin will have one of his friends call her!


And now the big moment! The reason my Thursday rounds end at 6pm. Really I'm thinking of ending my Monday rounds at 6pm too! Or maybe just switching to something like 10pm when everyone is getting ready for bed, at least those that sleep. Sorry got side-tracked there. As I was saying the big moment. The twins grew up and here they are ladies and gentlegeeks.

It seems that the girls, who've gotten along recently, have decided it's time to revive the sibling rivalry. And yeah, they weren't fond of each other for awhile, it took me most of one round to bring them both up to 50 daily.

Whew, just read through your whole blog! And I loved it of course!

I share your dislike for romance sims, yet one of mine became close to a favorite sim for me.

Awesome families, I love how they are doing so well. Keep up the blogging please, I truly love it!
