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!! ^_^

Most of my families in my prosperity neighborhood ended up with an oddball that looks like theyre not related at all to the rest of them. Hehe, I love the randomness of the whole thing. :)

I like that idea for aging up a person who is supposed to be an elder instead of using somebody as a placeholder and killing them off. It's pretty silly that you cannot create sim kids with just an elder; I bet there's a lot of children in this world that were raised by their grandparents!

As always, can't wait to hear about more! :)

*snicker* Dildo. Who wouldn't want to live THERE?

You didn't get any teen lead households?

I did the same thing as you for elders with children/toddlers. I made them adult then aged them right away, so technically they are the parent. (I killed the placeholder for the teen household, though).

You did roll a ton of kidlets. That'll be fun for you come college time.

Haha, Olive(that is Olive, right?) and Worthington. That is so funny.

Ripp is blond(e?) with alien kids, how unlike Ripp! I KNEW that teen alien had the Ripp nose.

The Wolfe family has to be my favorite, the Nervous teen girl...is so cute!

TANK, he was the easiest to spot. I have a funny picture of him I took awhile ago:



He just looks so agitated.

Tank: The General would NOT approve.

Awww, Tank looks so much more comfortable in his own skin in this alternate universe. And Dick's (*snicker* yeah, it's funny!) oldest daughter, with the same goofy expression as her daddy - she's adorable :)

But where is Nigmos? Is it the Lamb woman? Oh, I'm no good at these guess-the-genetics game *lol*

I was going to ask where you came up with the name Llama Spit Cove because it's perfect for a sim community but then I read the end of the post and so that answered that. :D It's still perfect.

They are some great looking families. You really rolled a bunch. I only rolled for three. The Coles could be fun. Two adults and twin toddlers? Toddlers are hell to look after with no money. I found that out pretty quick.

I'm so excited to read about them! :D They all look great. I especially love the alien teen girl, she looks really cool. :D

I'm a long time lurker, and sorry for posting under an old post, but i couldn't resist!
I grew up in Mount Pearl! I thought upon reading this post that those names sounded really familiar...good ole' dildo. haha.
