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 4 - Round 7 - 5 Maple Square (Rainseeker)



Last night was pretty hard on Tina, so here she is at 2am juicing up. It was that or a choice between passing out, peeing herself, or starving to death.


But it does the trick, because the next morning she's back at it teaching Piper to walk. I just can't get over how cute this kid is.


Like I said, every single morning. Tina finally has enough cooking skill to make cheesecake, and since I plan on her having 10 children, she'll be on a strictly cheesecake diet for most of her adult life.


Yay! Aremis is home! And he brought a promotion and lots of money with him. Even better, he works tomorrow!


The very first upgrade with Aremis' money. Tina won't be sleeping much, so we want her to get a good rest whenever she has the chance. I've always thought of these as the Sealys of the simworld.


Aremis invited Billy and Bobby over to introduce them to their great-neice. I don't think Bobby quite believes where this conversation is heading.


Wednesday morning, right after Aremis has walked out the door, Tina goes into labour. Piper meanwhile continues playing with her rabbit head.


Here's Aremis, flying off before he can be passed a baby. Yup, cheesecake twins.


This is Marcus Rainseeker, he's actually the younger of the twins, but I got distracted and didn't get a picture of his sister first. All the children in this family will be named after my family from now on, per my children's request. Marcus is actually my oldest son, the RL Aremis, for those of you just joining us.


And this is Amanda Rainseeker. Amanda is actually my name, and the kids really miss Sim-Me. Rowan's actually hanging out at college in case the GH kids need someone to hold down the fort. Maybe she'll marry into one of the families eventually (she's a dormie in this incarnation, so it's all legit).


All three children have finally been put down for naps and Tina sits down to try to finish the toaster pastry she made for brunch. It's now 3:30 in the afternoon, but some days you're lucky to get to eat one meal. She better hurry though because Piper will wake up soon.


Piper still has two days before her birthday and she already got 8 Charisma points. She's now moved on to Logic. I mostly decide this by whatever skill they roll up the want for first.


Gotta lose the baby fat!
Honestly, she actually has to go to work in the morning, so she might as well get a promotion. Still no luck getting her into the Art track.


Birthday time! 1,2,3, Go!

Let the toddler skilling begin! Aremis actually has the wants to teach both of them how to talk, while Tina wants to teach both of them to walk. I locked Aremis in, but unfortunately Tina's locks are busy holding the 10 Baby want, and the Have a Baby want.
