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 - University - Rainseeker Bros - Year 2


Welcome to the home of Billy Rainseeker.
Things are pretty much par for the course here with Billy recieving plenty of expensive gifts from his fiancee Daisy at the end of days filled with dating.

Dancing in the rain? Why dance in the rain when you can dance in the snow?

Go Team Go!

More expensive gifts....

Billy's not as tough as he likes to seem.

Billy, how are you going to maintain your tough guy persona if you go around making snow angels and snowmen?

"It's an evil snowman, see?"

"Is it still watching me?"
'fraid so, better run before it catches you.

"Gee Billy, I'm still pretty sure you're secretly gay"
"I agree with Abbie"
"I'm not GAY!!!!"

Only Abbie would sit outside in the snow to do her homework.

"I say we slip mind-control drugs into their soda's, what do you think Mr. Diablo?"

Loretta's my kind of girl. She just kicked Mr. Popularity's butt at video games.

So long Mr. Diablo, spring is in the air, and Billy's nearing his LTW.

Ta-da! Finally!

50 bloody bouquets of roses, which will now disappear into Billy's inventory, hopefully to never be seen again.

The final expensive gift from Daisy. I've heard the Impossible Want for Pleasure sims is 100 Dream Dates. So not doing it, I've had enough dating to last me a good long while.

Now that Billy's not constantly on dates, it's time for him to move to WhisperingWinds for a short stay before graduation.

Welcome to Bobby Rainseeker's home. Lots of dates, and you don't get pictures!

Looks like we've arrived just in time for Bobby's first tomato harvest.

Even Brandi's outerwear matches Bobby. Except when he's wearing his outerwear, which is rare.

Bobby, you're such a child at heart.

That's what I'm talking about! Expensive gifts! Remember Brandi, the more expensive gifts now, the more moolah you guys have to start your life together.

50 Dream Dates!

Brandi has a bad habit of forgetting to drop of her flowers. This is the second time she's done this, but it doesn't matter now, so long hundreds of roses.

"Mr. Snowman, will you protect me from Mr. Diablo?"

"A bomb filled with mind-control drugs? That's a great idea Mr. Snowman! We winter creatures will take over this puny world and rule with the sims as our slaves!"

Billy spent the rest of his year painting paintings which were stuck into his inventory for yet more start-up cash.

Time to say goodbye to your house and hello to WhisperingWinds Bobby.

Bobby wanted to go rollerblading for the longest time, so I let him hop onto the rink.

Billy's been craving a swim, so I let him do that.

Then they both got sent to the meditation ring.

Lauren's managed to find time in between phone calls to earn her Bronze Gardening Badge!

Bobby got to graduate first. He earned a degree in Art and had quite the inventory stock: 3 pinball machines, 1 Piano, 3 Florid Fonts, and 140 MW Tomatoes.

Billy graduated second with a degree in Art as well. His inventory stock is even more impressive: 2 Bust of Tylopoda, 3 Pinball machines, 1 Soma Stereo, 2 DJ Booths, 1 Piano, 1 44" TV, 2 Boots, and 13 fish of various varities.

Phew, finally I'm all caught up in your prosperity challenge. I love your narration btw, it makes me chuckle more often than not. I see you've tried just about everything in this game, its cool coz I actually don't know about half the stuff you've done. At least you've taught me some new stuff. I started a legacy, but eventually turned it into the prosperity. But I can't say that I've been keeping score or anything, just been plodding along and playing at a rather sloooooow speed, i.e to many sims cause brain fry.

Looking forward to the next update.
