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!

I'm back!!

Welcome Back Everyone!!!

Well, my real life has calmed down a bit now. I finally had my trip to Montreal to visit RL Abbie, and my trip to BC fell through because of my husband's passive sabotage. Basically he was supposed to ask his parents to watch the kids while I was away when he was at work and he just never did it. Here's hoping I can push it a bit harder in November.

April was also a big month for planning (and sometimes implementing) home renovations. I finally got my Bosche dishwasher that I've been lusting after for at least a year, and I've decided on the cabinets to finish off the empty wall of my kitchen. We've also been trying to pick paint colors for the living room and master bedroom.

One of the main reasons I didn't write much in April is that I wasn't feeling well. I was having a lot of dizzy spells and my hands and feet were numb most of the time. It turns out that all the coffee my doctor prescribed for my low blood pressure was aggravating my high stress levels and was causing me to micro-hyperventilate 24/7. I'm now limiting myself to one cup of real coffee each day and a lot of herbal teas. To top it all off, I've developed a rather nasty case of tendinitis that seems to roam all up and down my right arm from my wrist all the way to the shoulder, so updates may be a bit slower than previously depending on how good my arm's feeling that day.

Stay tuned, because tonight I'll be playing the Collin household. I'm even going to try writing the blog as I play to save a bit of publishing time. I guess we'll just have to see if that works well.

Thanks to all of you for being so patient and loyal! You all get cookies!
