Tranquility Acres was established as a sort of refuge for those sims who, for one reason or another, find themselves "suddenly single" with children. Granted, it has just been established and is pretty vacent right now, but over time we encourage the inhabitants' offspring to set up their own homes here, and judging by how many offspring their are so far it's going to get crowded fast.<br /><br /><br /><a title="hood1-3.png" href="http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/purplestarz10/AaronAudrey/?action=view&current=hood1-3.png"><img style="width: 395px; height: 750px;" src="http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/purplestarz10/AaronAudrey/hood1-3.png" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a title="hood2-2.png" href="http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/purplestarz10/AaronAudrey/?action=view&current=hood2-2.png"><img style="width: 395px; height: 668px;" src="http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/purplestarz10/AaronAudrey/hood2-2.png" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a title="hood3-1.png" href="http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/purplestarz10/AaronAudrey/?action=view&current=hood3-1.png"><img style="width: 400px; height: 329px;" src="http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/purplestarz10/AaronAudrey/hood3-1.png" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Tranquility Acres is a Prosperity Challenge neighborhood, which means its original inhabitants were decided with the roll of a dice. The "viewing time" for each house is going to be 7 sim days, at least for the first round. I may decided to change it later on. There are 6 original families ranging from 3 to 6 sims. Now without any further adiue, let's get on with the show!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Round 1<br /><a

Tranquility Acres. Due to a massive nuclear bomb in the region that even the omnipotent mysterious voice couldn't prevent, all but two of the citizens were lost. Strangely, their houses were left unharmed. As you can imagine, this is very devastating for the mysterious voice. But fear not! When at first you don't succeed, try try again. And that's just what this mysterious voice plans to do. I will find a new town, with new citizens just begging for insightful narration of their lives. But the memory of Tranquility Acres will live on, mostly because I'm leaving this blog up. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Now, this should be where I go back and add up the scorecard points.

Check back soon, and I will post a link to my new town.

Kristin had much more gardening time on her hands as she became pregnant with her and Mark's second child, a boy named Fiyero. Mark continued to enjoy life in permanent platinum after becoming Captain Hero. At the end of the week, Kristin was beginning to show the signs that baby number three was on the way.<br /><br /><br /><a title="2007-12-27_0932" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/21917835@N07/2141326174/"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/2368/2141326174_817a5f3e86_d.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Hey there, Kristin. You're looking a bit better.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Kristin: </span>Thanks. I've been feeling a little bit better too.

She pretty much has to be dating 24/7.<br /><br /><a title="2007-12-27_1711" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/21917835@N07/2142366408/"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/2172/2142366408_ed2d6c4ab6_d.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I'm so glad that you get along with both of your siblings.

I'll see Elphaba at her college graduation, and I'll see everybody else next round.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">A Message From the Mysterious Voice: <span style="font-style: italic;">So this is the first lot I played after re-installing two times because I discovered a mistake I made installing Bon Voyage. I think everything is working ok now. Also, for some reason Elphaba just wasn't skilling as fast as most of the kids in town so she has fewer scholarships. I think its because she didn't have the advantage of having her kid years be in the fall. </span></span><br /></div>Mary the Mysterious Voicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05086861399237040577noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-513368516918852766.post-5574717393649794112007-12-26T18:18:00.000-08:002007-12-26T19:52:43.738-08:00Greene 5: Round 6<div style="text-align: center;"><a title="2007-12-25_1243" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/21917835@N07/2136013322/"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/2091/2136013322_89e63e15f2_d.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Last round, Riley Greene found herself in a bit of a domestic crisis. Although she loved her husband Conner, she was frustrated at his lack of attention towards her and their daughter Jasmine as Conner continued to lavish his attention on his younger brother, Corey, who grew from a child to a teenager. The void in Jasmine's life was filled by her grandfather, Ethan, who delighted in taking care of his grandchild while his wife Marisa avoided any family responsibility she could. However, Riley wasn't as happy with her position being taken away. When the couple had a second daughter, Ariel, Conner's behavior didn't change. With Corey now out of the house, will Conner finally realize where is real place is in the family? Only one way to find out...<br /><br /><a title="2007-12-25_1311" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/21917835@N07/2135296975/"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/2017/2135296975_b2d40a21a1_d.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Well, not much seems to have changed so far.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Jasmine: </span>I love you, Grandpa!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ethan: </span>I love you too, honey.<br /><br /><br /><a title="2007-12-25_1313" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/21917835@N07/2135300369/"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/2372/2135300369_ef69fcce28_d.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Jasmine: </span>Grandpa!

Three days later, Caydance gave birth to a baby boy named Cody. Unfortunately, Roger had a mishap at the office and lost the family's entire savings. Not letting this get him down, Roger took the chance to leave the education field and become an adventurer. By the end of the week, the family was starting to get back on their feet. Meanwhile, big sister Courtney grew from a toddler to a child.<br /><br /><br /><a title="2007-12-24_1522" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/21917835@N07/2133371245/"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/2278/2133371245_e3e3839a91_d.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Hey, Courtney.

I was actually kind of sad that Roger spun up a want to go to the Far East, because I wanted to see the beach first. But the new picture feature is probably the coolest thing ever. There are snapshots all over the Larson house now. And I finally bit the bullet and allowed Courtney to become a romance Sim. It only took me 5 and a half rounds to be able to do it. Thankfully, her LTW is to become a Celebrity Chef, so that's not so bad.</span></span><br /></div>Mary the Mysterious Voicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05086861399237040577noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-513368516918852766.post-73753713519341980382007-12-22T20:11:00.001-08:002007-12-23T07:45:44.574-08:00Greene 4: Round 6<div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a title="2007-12-20_2049" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/21917835@N07/2125358597/"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/2162/2125358597_6ff0c2ee6f_d.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Last round marked a very important turning point in Tranquility Acres history. As the week got underway, Harmony and Carson Greene were kept plenty busy by their three kids. Older brother Steven entered his teen years, while twins John and Jenna became children. Fortunately, they had the help of Harmony's parents, Sam and Chloe, leaving Harmony time to chase her lifetime want of becoming a general. Sam developed a need to have 20 grandchildren, so when Harmony's third pregnancy occurred she broke out the cheesecake to satisfy it. Three days later a second set of twins, Rainn and Melora were born. At the end of the week, Chloe became the first of the Tranquility Acres founding adults to pass away. Harmony and Carson adopted a puppy, Flower, to help with the grieving. Sadly, Sam passed away the next night.<br /><br /><a title="2007-12-20_2054" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/21917835@N07/2126140168/"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/2284/2126140168_80b6a88ef5_d.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Whew, last week sure was eventful.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Harmony: </span>It sure was.<br /><br />But I see you're doing better since I last saw you.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Harmony: </span>Well, it's still hard without my parents here.

It's one thing watching a Sim you made as an adult grow into an elder, but watching one you raised from a baby...that's pretty intense. Also, I know that townie/NPC teens are supposed to be best friends before going to college, but Pam and Alon were a 3-bolt couple and their lifetime relationship was already in the 40's after 2 dates. They were close enough. Plus, I've used Alon in other neighborhoods and he does grow up quite well.</span></div>Mary the Mysterious Voicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05086861399237040577noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-513368516918852766.post-80265147729234436622007-12-17T06:22:00.000-08:002007-12-17T07:02:54.981-08:00Leonard 4: Round 6<div style="text-align: center;">Last time, Ben Leonard continued to chase his lifetime want of raising 20 puppies or kittens. The house's first litter of puppies, Brian and Holly, grew to adults and were promptly given away to various relatives. Soon the canine matriarch of the family, Sparkle, gave birth to a second litter, Sprinkles and Garbage who were also quickly given to Destiny and Ben's many siblings after growing into adult dogs. On the human side of things, Stewie grew into a teenager and prepared for college, little Christina grew into a child, and thanks to risky WooHoo Destiny gave birth to a fourth child, another girl named Lois.<br /><br /> <a title="snapshot_d3721b6d_146d2fa2.jpg" href="http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/purplestarz10/Leonard%204/?action=view&current=snapshot_d3721b6d_146d2fa2.jpg"><img src="http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/purplestarz10/Leonard%204/snapshot_d3721b6d_146d2fa2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And it's birthday time yet again, I see.<br /><br /><a title="snapshot_d3721b6d_b46d2fb5.jpg" href="http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/purplestarz10/Leonard%204/?action=view&current=snapshot_d3721b6d_b46d2fb5.jpg"><img src="http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/purplestarz10/Leonard%204/snapshot_d3721b6d_b46d2fb5.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And Ben carries his horrible fashion sense into his elder years...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ben: </span>Hey!

With their first daughter Kristin out on her own, their focus turned to their younger two girls, Jennifer and Megan. Jennifer grew into a teenager while Megan became a child and got a jump on her skill-building. Meanwhile, Logan finally achieved his lifetime want of reaching the top of the athletic career. Julia, however, became yet another victim of risky WooHoo and got pregnant for a fourth time. Three days later, she gave birth to not one but two additional children, a fourth daughter named Helen and the family's only boy, Martin.<br /><br /><a title="snapshot_d370921a_9468105f.jpg" href="http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/purplestarz10/Leonard3/?action=view&current=snapshot_d370921a_9468105f.jpg"><img src="http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/purplestarz10/Leonard3/snapshot_d370921a_9468105f.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Logan: </span>I don't see how we let this happen.

Her life goal was to marry off six children, but as she approached her golden years her youngest and only girl Michelle put her at five. Knowing it was too late to have another child, Mia and her husband Tyler decided to adopt. The next day, Doreene joined the family. While she certainly didn't look like any of the other Macguire children, she was welcomed into the brood by her remaining older brothers Norbert and Joel as well as her little sister. Norbert grew to a teen and was introduced to the joys of working the flower stand in the front yard. Joel and Michelle also grew up from toddlers to children.<br /><br /><a title="snapshot_f36e198a_54647f99.jpg" href="http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/purplestarz10/macguire%202/?action=view&current=snapshot_f36e198a_54647f99.jpg"><img src="http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/purplestarz10/macguire%202/snapshot_f36e198a_54647f99.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Ah, there's our little heiress.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Michelle: </span>What does that mean?<br /><br />It means you'll be moving back here after you graduate from college.

You girls are the youngest.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ella: </span>Well, who do you think should stay?<br /><br />I really don't know. You girls are so alike in so many ways. But, I think Ella would be a better choice.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ella: </span>What? You think I can't start a house on my own?<br /><br />No...but when you were born you only had 1 nice point. Eryn had 3. It's more important that your mom be here to encourage your kids should they inherit that.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ella: </span>I only had 1 nice point?

I promise I'll come visit!<br /><br />Have fun at college, girls! See you at graduation!<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">A Message From The Mysterious Voice: Normally I don't care what aspiration Sims roll into, but Ella was just NOT supposed to be a knowledge Sim. All of her wants, even as a kid, were to make friends. She never wanted to earn a skill point, unlike Eryn who rolled up that want every day even as a child. Oh well, that's just how the challenge goes. </span><br /></div>Mary the Mysterious Voicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05086861399237040577noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-513368516918852766.post-41715140596501592392007-12-02T09:22:00.000-08:002007-12-02T16:27:19.154-08:00Leonard 2: Round 6<div style="text-align: center;">Last round, parents Morgan and George Leonard tried, in vain, to convince their younger daughter Rebecca that a certain mysterious voice was not at fault in regards to their house being robbed when she was a baby. Unfortunately, Rebecca had already been corrupted by her older sister, Audrey, and had every intention of doing the same to her younger brother Kyle, who grew from a toddler to a child as Rebecca became a teen. To try and lighten the mood, Morgan and George adopted a puppy named Minnie.<br /><br /><a title="snapshot_b366f7e9_7457041f.jpg" href="http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/purplestarz10/Leonard%202/?action=view&current=snapshot_b366f7e9_7457041f.jpg"><img src="http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/purplestarz10/Leonard%202/snapshot_b366f7e9_7457041f.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Morgan: </span>Is everything set?<br /><br />Set for what?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">George: </span>Moving day.

Jacob finally achieved his lifetime want of becoming a celebrity chef. Unfortunately, with elderhood approaching Meadow had to come to terms with the fact that her lifetime dream of marrying off six children would never come to pass. Meanwhile, the couple's two remaining daughters Autumn and little Addison worked on their skills, and as a reward the family adopted a kitten named Andy. The week ended climatically with both Jacob and Meadow making the transition to elderhood.<br /><br /><a title="snapshot_735f6db8_b45038c1.jpg" href="http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/purplestarz10/Greene%202/?action=view&current=snapshot_735f6db8_b45038c1.jpg"><img src="http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/purplestarz10/Greene%202/snapshot_735f6db8_b45038c1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Hi, Jacob!

Last round, Seth and Kayla's daughter Rachel moved back in after college with her fiancee Adrien Richardson. They were quickly married, and jumped headfirst into their careers-culinary for Adrien and a corporate life for Rachel.

Meanwhile, the ghost of Seth's mother, Savannah, continued her nightly rampage.<br /><br /><a title="snapshot_d340d76a_744b222a.jpg" href="http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/purplestarz10/Geller%202/?action=view&current=snapshot_d340d76a_744b222a.jpg"><img src="http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/purplestarz10/Geller%202/snapshot_d340d76a_744b222a.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />As I was saying...<br /><br /><a title="snapshot_d340d76a_344dbaa6.jpg" href="http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/purplestarz10/Geller%202/?action=view&current=snapshot_d340d76a_344dbaa6.jpg"><img src="http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/purplestarz10/Geller%202/snapshot_d340d76a_344dbaa6.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />What are you doing, Rachel?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rachel: </span>Looking for a new job.<br /><br />Really?

Last time, Olivia and Nicholas' youngest child, Maureen, moved back in after college with her fiancee, Peter Leonard. Soon after the wedding, Maureen took a job in the corporate world while Peter excelled in education. Meanwhile, Olivia finally achieved her life's goal that she started way back when she first moved to town-getting to the top of the science career. Nicholas continued to chase his dream of earning 100,000 simoleons, but with elderhood preventing him from taking new, high-paying jobs it proved difficult. Maureen soon became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, Joanne, and by the end of the week she was pregnant with child number two.<br /><br /><a title="snapshot_d340c36d_5447224e.jpg" href="http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/purplestarz10/Larson/?action=view&current=snapshot_d340c36d_5447224e.jpg"><img src="http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/purplestarz10/Larson/snapshot_d340c36d_5447224e.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Oh, yeah.

When I came back in it was Sunday morning. </span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>Mary the Mysterious Voicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05086861399237040577noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-513368516918852766.post-7492567984340519492007-11-09T16:02:00.000-08:002007-11-09T17:10:23.934-08:00Macguire 5: Round 5<div style="text-align: center;">Our next stop on our whirlwind tour of new houses belongs to the third of the Macguire children, Norbert, and adoptee Jennifer Leonard.<br /><br /><a title="snapshot_f43de1fd_d43de1fe.jpg" href="http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/purplestarz10/greene%20round%202/?action=view&current=snapshot_f43de1fd_d43de1fe.jpg"><img src="http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/purplestarz10/greene%20round%202/snapshot_f43de1fd_d43de1fe.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Hi, guys!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Jennifer: </span>Hi, mysterious voice!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Norbert: </span>You're just in time!<br /><br />In time for what?<br /><br /><a title="snapshot_f43de1fd_743deaea.jpg" href="http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/purplestarz10/greene%20round%202/?action=view&current=snapshot_f43de1fd_743deaea.jpg"><img src="http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/purplestarz10/greene%20round%202/snapshot_f43de1fd_743deaea.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Another living-room wedding?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Norbert: </span>There's no time for a real one.
