strangetomato | Other Sims Stuff: Prosperity Challenge

I took a little detour on my way to the next Strangetown update, and I've decided to start a prosperity challenge neighbourhood. I'm not entirely sure where I will go with this, but I'll be posting updates on it in a looser story form, as a bit of a palate cleanser when I'm struggling with Strangetown and could use some time to think.

Since I know that you all love Strangetown, and the Maxis sims, I have a feeling that you'll have some interest in these characters.

Let us gaze into the future, and observe the residents of the prosperity neighbourhood, which, for now, we will simply refer to as "The Cove".

There are 6 houses in The Cove. We have the single and mysterious James Davenport, The Wolfe family (you may have heard of the daughter, Virginia Wolfe), Richard "The Dick" Cole and his alien children, The Snow family, the beautiful Catherine Lamb, and all of the Fishers.

In total, 22 residents. But wait... some of these people may seem familiar to you.

Yeah, that's right. Everyone in The Cove is a Maxis clone, or the offspring of Maxis clones. I do love those Maxis sims. I'm pretty predictable like that. I'm also a huge fan of alternate realities (like Peculiar, created by

madame_ugly). These are mostly Strangetown clones, but I threw a couple of my favourite Pleasantview characters in there too, and a couple from La Fiesta Tech (see if you can name them all).

They've gone through some cosmetic changes, since I used this sim randomizer, and I took the suggestions for their colouring from that. Personalities and aspirations are also random, though some did influence the Maxis sim that I chose for that character (The Dick is a good example of that - his stats were very Ripp-like, so I couldn't resist).

All of the names were taken from that randomizer too. Virginia Wolfe - I nearly died. And she's the daughter of a cloned Nervous Subject. Too perfect. I instantly love her. But really, I love all of my sims. (I clone Nervous a lot, don't I? *snicker*)

Also, check out the awesome matchmaker! She's a female alien Komei Tellerman!

This is just a sneak preview. I will set it up and give more details later.

And about that update... I'm going to try for a post tonight.

I love she Nervouses. And that hair is so great.

Why am I not surprised you used Maxis clones? Love it.

So that update? Prosperity or Strangetown?

I love it! It's too much fun using cloned Maxis sims or their offspring to me (that's part of why my new hood has a cloned Grunt family, young clone!Olive and teenagegirlclone!Nervous). I think I'll enjoy seeing these updates as much as the Strangetown updates.

Wow, everywhere I turn, someone is doing the Prosperity Challenge! It's extremely contagious. :P

A good chunk of characters I recognize, some I don't. Course, I'm sure once you get into the details, I'll be kicking myself in the ass for not seeing it sooner. I do look forward to seeing what you come up with!

(ps, and I'm uber excited to see that you might be posting tonight, woot!)

Ugh, my stupid computer is too much of a stupid computer to handle making a new neighborhood, so I can't do one of these prosperity challenges. I hope you have fun with yours, though!

Oooh I am VERY excited for this! I just got done reading all of your Strangetown chapters, and I absolutely LOVE them. I am a huge Strangetown fan, but when I play I tend to make too many alien babies and the neighborhood gets flooded with G]green and I can't keep track of them all.

I love the maxis clones idea. I've never been a big fan of maxis skins, face templates, or hair in my game, but in stories like this, I love them.

I'm a huge Nervous fan, so I was VERY excited to see a red-headed female Nervous xD so cute! I think I love him so much because he was my first legacy founder's husband, but I just find him adorable in general. His chin and eyes make him seem so much more unique.

Also, thanks for the link to that Prosperity Challenge Randomizer. I've been looking for something like this for forever! Thanks!

Love the matchmaker! :D And the glimpses of familiar faces. I see Ripp's teen nose on the alien girl, right? :)

Everybody's doing this challenge... I should check out the parameters for it, though I don't see myself joining in at this point. Yours looks like it will be fun, though!

This is so many shades of awesome. Actually all your recent updates have been cream of the crop for that, though I'm a bad LJ-reader and have completely missed on commenting. There's been a lot of squealing, though!
I have to ask, is the very last picture of the guy with the beard and curly hair the Fishers or the Snows? Because the moment I saw that I had flashbacks to the horribly creepy Dustin Diamond person that once played Screech on Saved By The Bell. *shudder*
In more pleasant thoughts, I'm also very amused that you too are starting up a Prosperity Challenge. I've been toying around with that as well, though I'm incorporating it into my meta-hood instead of giving it one of its own like I should. Maybe this time I'll actually post pictures and stuff!

Prosperity challenges are getting so popular!

Man, I can see the Strangetown clones, but the Pleasantview, I AM NOT SEEING THEM. I was thinking the elderly female being a female version of Morty, but I'm probably wrong.

I love the Nervous clones. Speaking of which, he had a son with this townie with a mohawk(MEANT TO BE!) His son has the most extreme personality EVER. He is really nice, outgoing, active, very sloppy, and serious. I'm sorry this is off topic.

WORTHINGTON! :D

The Komei matchmaker is loooove. Komei is one of my favorite sims!

Oh awesome! :D I'm excited to have more stuff from you to read/squee over. :)

I like them all! :D
I'm glad to have something else from you to read about - double the fun! :D
