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 10 - 12 Oak Square (Rainseeker)

A/N: Well, it looks like those of you who have been craving an update on Knowlton are in luck. I fully intended to play out my Apocalypse family first, but I installed Freetime. After playing for a couple of sim days I realized how all encompassing the new gameplay is, so I've decided to wait for official word from Mount Pinstar before I continue with The Day After Tomorrow Sim Style.


Last round Bobby came home from college and but himself and his future wife a lovely home that I stole from Riverblossom Hills. Mr. Bear spent much of the week trying to take over the house, and the annoying Seasons' bin families continued to follow my sims home from work. Bobby managed to reach TOC in Education easily while Brandi got a start in the Adventure career track.

There should be lots of fun playing with Freetime, too bad I still haven't got my copy of the guide. The local (only one hour away by car) EB Games has suddenly decided not to stock the Sims 2 guides, even though up till now they've had every single one, which means I'm now waiting for it to arrive from Chapters in the mail.

Friday (Summer)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Awesome! I've been wanting to try restoring a car anyway! Bobby and Brandi both have such middle of the road personalities that I'm having a hard time guessing what their predestined hobbies will be.

Oh for the love of Cheese! They're Poptarts Brandi, how did you manage to burn Poptarts?

I'd like to say that Bobby's being insensitive, but honestly, it's just a little kitchen fire. I've yet to have a sim die from one of those.

It turns out that Brandi's really into tinkering too, which at least mean this car should get fixed up faster than usual, whatever is usual.

"Wew, restoring that beat up old car is a lot more exhausting than I thought it would be."

Brandi returns home with a promotion, but exhausted from her earlier stint with the car.

Saturday (Fall)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The wedding is tomorrow and they'll both have the day off, provided I don't allow Brandi to gain the Body skill points she needs for a promotion. In the meantime, I've used their default 5 LABs to fill their Needs columns and to choose secondary aspirations. Bobby got Family, and Brandi got Knowledge.

Too bad I can't rename the family to the Tinker family! Well, I could, but I don't want to, even if I kinda do want to, if that makes any sense at all.

Sunday (Fall)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's Wedding Day!

Half the guests are busy elsewhere, but that won't stop these two. Rowan's busy tossing her cookies, Grizou's hogging the piano, and for some reason Laura's just sitting on the sofa. Aremis is watching the wedding, but he decided to do it from the porch.

There are a lot of pregnant sims at this wedding. Well really, it's just Rowan and Daisy, but hopefully Brandi will be pregnant before the end of the reception too.

That's an awful grumpy expression for a family sim to wear on their wedding day. It might have something to do with the fact that people keep wandering through the bedroom to get to the second bathroom.

Bobby eventually succeeded in getting Brandi pregnant, so it was time for him to go take care of the plants. He's been neglecting them all and they were quite wilted. Poor Bobby and Brandi, I forgot to book their honeymoon before the nuptials.

Monday (Fall)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

3 am Monday morning, and Bobby finally finds Culinary. He doesn't work until Thursday, which is fine, he has plans.

Lots of plans that involve wrenches and such things.

The energizer is totally an essential when it comes to tinkering or robotics.

More tinkering.

Brandi now has her own invitation to Will's Garage.

Promotions are good, Gembok would be better.

Yup, it's amazing all right, you managed to maximize your body skills without ever having to get sweaty. Meanwhile, Bobby's finally moved on to Hydrobots out in the garage. Who needs sleep or food when you have an energizer?
