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!

The Ubrupt End

Well folks, sad to say, this is the end. Back around the beginning of July I had a very bad thing happen. You see, I had been contemplating back-up strategies, and had decided to go with Carbonite. Unfortunately when I went to download and install it I discovered that my internet was down (again). Two days (and still no internet) later, my H Drive, on which was stored my entire My Documents folder, crashed. I waited this long to tell you all about it because I was hoping to find a relatively cheap data recovery service. I did find one, but I'm looking at a minimum bill of $1000, which means I've put the hard drive aside for the moment and will have it restored after the next 4 VERY expensive months. I'm a mother of three, so let's see, school, halloween, halloween parties (2 because my two youngest can't go to the scary one I hold for the older kids), thanksgiving, christmas shopping, christmas parties... Do I really need to say more?

Awww, I hope you can get it all sorted out. Not just for your simmies but in general. Its no fun not having your computer around to go to. Especially once the kids are in bed and you just want to surf around a little.

I'll most definately miss your stories, and I'm holding thumbs you can get your computer back soon. Good luck for the next 4 months, sounds like your going to be a very busy bee. Next month is my hectic months, weddings and traveling for most of it. I don't know why everyone decided to get married in the same month. We have 3 in just one little month, so I hear ya about expensive. Then my folks want to take a road trip. Come October I'm gonna be poor to, lol.

I hope all goes well and your back to simming in no time. Enjoy

I've still got my computer, it was just the H: Drive that crashed, although from the sounds my computer's been making lately it's quite possible that I'll lose my C: Drive too. I'm currently working on a Legacy to keep me occupied until Sims 3 comes out, although it's a pretty sure bet that it'll never be completed.

Hope you have fun at all those weddings! I can never decide if a wedding will be fun or not, half the time they're unbelievably boring and the other half you wish it would never end.
