Prosperity Challenge: Life is just better in Llama Spit Cove.

Just in case you're curious to see all of the residents of my prosperity challenge neighbourhood, here is a little sneak preview. These are the original loading screen images, from when I moved them all in.









Davenport




Wolfe




Cole




Lamb




Fisher




Snow







The parents in the Wolfe and Cole families were immediately aged to elder when they hit the ground, since I wanted to do it that way instead of having a placeholder. Sure, it's an interesting backstory to have a dead parent, but I liked the idea of aging parents better, so that's how I handled that. That gives us four single elders in town, two single adults, and two married couples. Not to mention all of those children. I was going to post names and stats, but I will do some profiles later. For now, feel free to speculate as much as you like.

The name of the community is in the proud tradition of oddly named places in Newfoundland, which is where I live. Places like Conception Bay, Random Island, Herring Neck, Muddy Hole, Tickle Cove, Jerry's Nose, and Dildo (I kid you not). Check them all out here, if you don't believe me. You can't even make this stuff up.

I'm really looking forward to doing this challenge!

For a sec, I was like, where's Ripp? Then I saw that he's a blond! And aww, look at his cute alien kids! What woman wouldn't want a piece of that?!

Frances married to a women with kids?! HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!! Not so much with the kids as the woman!!! For his kids sake, I hope his facial genes aren't too strong.

Johnny looks pretty okay without green skin. I don't know what I was expecting. I think I thought that he wouldn't look okay, but he looks just fine to me. And all the grandkids look cute too.

I know Nervous is female among the Wolfes. As for the rest of them, I got nothing.

Lamb, no idea. Davenport, that's Tank, right? Or is it Buzz? It's not zoomed in enough on the nose for me to tell.

So, I'm hoping this means we'll see the first update soon!! ^_^

Yeah, Ripp's a blond, but it doesn't matter, since he's gone grey anyway. Genetically, he's blond, so that's cool. The alien kids have recessive blond hair. He has an adorable brood. The toddlers are so cute.

The part that will make you laugh is that Frances' wife is not originally a woman. I switched the sex of that clone. But who is it... ?

Yeah, I think that Johnny looks decent like that. The kids in the Fisher family are pretty adorable. Lots of good kids in this 'hood.

Nervous is only present in genetics there. He's the "dead" husband of the mother.

It is Tank. He doesn't even have different genetics, aside from brown eyes (which look sweet on him). He's the closest to his original state in appearance, but he's a SUPER outgoing knowledge sim. And a criminal. *grin*

Yeah, I'll get it up sometime this week. But first... back to replying to comments. *cracks whip at self*

Ugh, now I have to guess the spouse? Ok,so it was a man from Strangetown. If you changed the genes, I'll never guess, cuz it could be anyone!

Outgoing Tank, huh? Is he so outgoing, that he'll venture over to the Snow household? (Yeah, I'm still on that T/F trip)

I let him decide for himself...

As you can see, James Davenport was having none of it.

Aww shucks! Wat's Frances' asp? I'm sure the turn ons/off had something to do with this too. Oh well. So much for my little dream.

(and I still need some hints on Frances' wife)

You know I would have totally gone for it here, if they were into it.

Frances is a pleasure sim, so that's probably why. I don't remember all the turn ons/offs, but that might also be a factor. Or just the zodiac signs. Oh well. Perhaps their kids will hit it off...

Frances' wife is from Pleasantview originally.

Ok, Pleasantview, did you change up the genes drastically?

I changed them. The skin on the Maxis sim is lighter than that, and the hair is darker.

Don Lothario? In the gender swapped Pleasantview that was out ahile ago, Don made a dark good looking woman. And the wife looks pretty good, so that's my guess.

You're right. It is Don Lothario. He makes a very attractive woman.

Hmmm, I don't know. I didn't think that far ahead, obviously. I'll file it away for later, and reward you when you least expect it.

Well, why not? I'll keep you in mind when I do some other metafictional spin off of Strangetown.
