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

[strangetomato]

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!

Thanks. I love using llama references, since it's such a sim thing, and llamas are just cool!

I know. I have a lot of characters to deal with, but that's good.

The Coles only have one adult, actually... and he's actually an elder. The girl is a teen. They didn't have a lot of money starting out, and it was quite challenging. They didn't learn any of the toddler skills, and I usually try to do that (but I guess it doesn't really matter all that much).

The one family I had like that, one adult, one teen , one child, two toddlers. I never got them to learn one whole toddler skill either. The adult and teen weren't getting any sleep, either. Most of the time the toddlers were fending for themselves while the others went back to sleep. :)

Yeah, it was rough. And it might explain why the father was having trouble getting a date during all this.
