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!

W6 - Rainseeker Home

A/N: Somebody save me, it's June! I'm sure a lot of you are going Yay! It's June! I on the other hand am besieged with things that I need to schedule into my plans. My two oldest sons both have graduation ceremonies this year (Kindergarten and Elementary, ie - Grade 6), Ben has a field trip, Marcus doesn't because the school refuses to allow him to go on field trips unless I can go along to supervise him. He's also got a dance and all the preteen angst that goes along with such things over getting the girl he likes to agree to go with him to the dance. Much as I'm the youngest Mom in his class, I really can't remember how 12 year old girls think, so I don't know what advice to give him on that front. I suggested that he talk to a 12 year old girl we know who he's not interested in for girl tips. At this rate, I'm actually looking forward to summer vacation, how insane is that?On a personal note, this is scheduled to go live on Martin's Birthday (RL-Grizou), so happy birthday honey!


Last week Billy returned to his ancestral home, which caused Neil, Sierra, Laura, Fraser, and Alegra to decide it was time to look for a new home. Daisy moved in and a wedding followed not long after. Apparently Daisy and Billy were rather busy at their wedding party, because shortly thereafter it became obvious that Daisy was pregnant. Bonkers had a rather depressing day and was given Pookie as a cheer up present. Of course, I'm sure that this means that the bear will attract every single visitor to the house.

Tuesday (Winter)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, that was a no brainer.

It took awhile, but we finally found Daisy's predestined hobby. It's cool too, because this town doesn't have enough tinkerers. We need more artists too.

Ahh, you guys are so cute!

Wednesday (Winter)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ma'am? I think it's time!"
Heh, not bad, I was only off on my due date by half an hour.

Welcome Aliza Rainseeker!

Welcome Laurel Rainseeker!

"Hmm, so the tabs go at the front of the diaper?"
(This line is stolen from my step-father, who never had any children of his own, who reasoned that the pictures should go on the back since that's the part you can see when they're crawling around)

Karen here decided that she was still following Sierra's schedule, which meant that Billy had to reschedule her which of course meant he was late for work again!

Congrats Daisy! Karen wasn't too bad today other than being very late for work.

Uh HELLO? You're children can't even crawl yet, they're not going to come running out for hugs you ditz!

Thursday (Winter)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wonder why this doesn't count towards tinkering, or was it just that even EA figured that it was just too uncool for fixing a toilet to be part of a hobby? From all the Sims 3 interviews lately, you'd think this would be right in with the potty humor they so proudly mention in practically EVERY SINGLE interview.

I have been dying to try this out. I'm so grateful to Daisy for being into tinkering!

Billy is actually amazingly easy going about it all. He does whatever I ask of him without whining and fussing and even seems to enjoy cleaning the house and caring for the babies.

Daisy, your taste in house guests leaves something to be desired.

For heaven's sake Mom! Give it a rest!

Friday (Spring)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You sure are a mean one Mom!

Go Bonkers! You've even managed to earn $10,000!

Happy Birthday Laurel!

Happy Birthday Aliza!

Let the toddler skilling begin!
I don't know what happened, but when I returned to the game Laurel had been given the same hair as Aliza. I think I'll change it back though since it looked cute before.

Saturday (Spring)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Karen is actually my favorite of the nannies, and even she'll let the kids practically pass out before she puts them to bed. It's so hard to find good help nowadays.

You're doing great Daisy! Keep it up! If you can top this career, then you can quit and stay home with the kids until they're older.

Now that's more like it!

Looks like Bonkers isn't too pleased about the new additions.

Sunday (Spring)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sorry folks, I just can't resist these shots, I love watching the twins play together.

Bonkers! Leave the poor kids alone, I'm warning you....

"Kitty! I want the kitty!"
Hah! I did warn you.

Coolness! The girls are best friends! We're not having any complications like a certain family in Pleasantville.

This works out rather well for Billy actually, since he's just a big kid himself.
