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 5 - Round 9 - 8 Maple Square (Graham)


Now that Seasons is here, and the Grahams have two babies, the first order of business was providing Claire and Kenneth with Snapdragons. After that Amber spent some time building up her stock.

Oliver spent the night at the teleprompter, bringing himself much joy.


Amber and Oliver's schedules are great when it comes to avoiding nannies, but not so great when it comes to birthdays. You see Oliver gets home from work at the same time that Amber has to leave for work. It's too late in the afternoon now for Amber to open the shop, so she's helping the twins with their birthdays so she can spend some time with them before work. First up to bat is Claire.

Claire Graham
Neat-2, Outgoing-3, Active-9, Playful-7, Nice-4
Sagittarius

Next it was Kenneth's turn, right before his parents traded places.

Kenneth Graham
Neat-2, Outgoing-3, Active-9, Playful-7, Nice-3
Gemini

Oliver got right to work on teaching Kenneth to walk while Claire had her nap, but he never finished the job because Claire woke up.

Woah! That is one ticked off bear.

Toddlers, toddlers everywhere, and nary a Mommy in sight.

Oliver managed to teach Claire to walk, and potty train Kenneth. Amber's home now, so Oliver has returned to his podium and Amber's taken over toddler skilling.

Amber expanded her shop to include an area for the toddlers. This way she can take care of her children and run her shop. Who knows, they may even pick up some friends while here.

Amber's Mystery Reviewer. She didn't get a bad review, but she didn't get a great one either. Oliver really needs to finish maxing his skills so he can start helping out in the shop.

Speaking of which, Oliver has maxed out his Charisma, which leaves just Mechanical.

First sighting of a toddler in winter gear! That snowsuit and those earmuffs are so cute!

Kenneth's moved on to logic now. He's so cute with his jammies that match the shop!

You'd probably have better luck with the dummy if you weren't wearing winter gloves.


"Honey? Which button do I push again?"

Amber and Oliver are actually doing a great job of juggling everything. The house is a bit messy, but it doesn't really matter since they spend so little time there. Besides, Claire and Kenneth will grow-up tomorrow night and they'll be able to help out, not to mention be a lot less work once they've been taught to do their homework.

It's getting quite cool outside now, so some more renovations have been done to allow Amber to make her bouquets inside.

Phew, finally back from my trip out of state and just got caught up with all the entries I missed. Your sims sure have been busy enjoying Seasons! You are doing a really good job managing all of these families. It's so fun to watch them all grow and spread out.
