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 8 - 9 Oak Square (Collin)

I've just installed seasons, and I've left the neighborhoods seasons settings at the default, so we enter the house on the last day of summer. I played a test sim last night to get the hang of it and I've already discovered glitches. I'm also going to miss some of my usefull, but non-cheating hacks. I'll probably start testing some of them out soon, to see which can still be used, and I'll be looking for the updates. So welcome back to Knowlton, the lucky Collin family gets to be the first family to experience weather.


As you can see, we had a minor issue when I entered the lot. For some reason, Jessica was taking a face dive into the floor and Kirsty was standing there with a blank look on her face.

Meanwhile, Weldon, who should have been at work, was standing out back doing nothing, which neccessitated the immediate purchase of a car for him to go back to work.

Way to go Weldon! We're happy to see you too!

I've heard that there's a glitch causing babies to cry constantly, so Jessica has been given the family's only snapdragon.

Kirsty doesn't garden, but there's no harm in composting anyway!

Awww, the whole family is sleeping together in the middle of the day! As you can see, baby Jessica has been moved to her parents room so that they can all share the effects of the Snapdragon, although tonights her birthday, so she'll have to move back to the nursery then.

Kirsty has finally made it to the top of the Criminal Track. Now she's moving on to Natural Science because it will leave her more time for her children and business.

Weldon must learn to paint better...even I can paint better than this!

Kirsty knew that these new hot chocotate machines, and the new juicer would just fly off the shelves.

Kendal is actually a half decent nanny. So far we've had no fires, she actually changes the baby, and she hasn't peed herself!

Yay Jessica! Happy birthday sweetheart!

Wow! Fall even helps with toddler skilling! How cool is that!

A word of warning for all you canadian simmers out there. Never preorder your guide from Amazon.ca. This is the second time I've preordered a guide from them. Both times I ordered two monthes ahead of schedule. Both times it showed my guide shipping on the right day right up until delivery day. Then they would suddenly tell me that I'd be getting my guide in a month or two. What the h*** is the point of preordering if you're not going to get it on time? I canceled my order with amazon and ordered with chapters.ca. I should have my guide by the end of next week. And that's with no preorder. Stupid Amazon! I am so pissed.

Back to the Collin's story. Here's Kirsty off to her first day in Natural Science as an Unnatural Crossbreeder.

Weldon here is the only family sim I've ever met who has no desire to toddler skill his children.

What a cutie! She even chose the clothing that matches her room herself, and she chose that hair (which I love) herself too!

Poor Weldon, nobody's raked the leaves in days.

Weldon has finally returned to earning his Robotery badges. Marcus would also like to mention that the skunk apparently has the cat crazies!

Jessica is getting to know her Aunt Amber. Amber's just the kind of influence she needs. Unfortunately for Amber I invited her in and then locked her in the house because Kirsty was opening the business and we don't want clients wandering all over the lot!

Kirsty's business is doing fairly well, although it's still at Rank 3. Seeya next round Collins!

If you do get a problem nanny, just fire her. When you call to hire one, you should get a different one.

At least you do if you're hiring a maid.
