Other Sims Stuff: Prosperity Challenge

[strangetomato]

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.

It is contagious! After reading the rules I decided to start one also. Lord knows why because I play Strangetown that way anyway (each house gets played for one week then on to the next).
the thing that's hardest for me is to play without cheating. No aging off! My favorite cheat. :)

I know. I'm used to using aging off and maxmotives when necessary for the story, so I have to drop the habit.

Are you going to post your prosperity challenge?

I actually do have a journal that I started for myself to keep notes on my Strangetown families in and I have started keeping my prosperity challenge there also. It's my_simsession if you want to check it out.
It's not fantastic writing but you're more then welcome to read it. As for posting it anyplace else? Uh, I don't know. That will remain to be seen. For now, the stories can sit there.

Oh, how cool. I'll check it out.
