Texansky's 112-Day Challenge Sims

Third Week of Spring:

It rained heavily all night, so Lane awoke to a very soggy yard Sunday morning. Worried about lightning, Lane harvested the apple tree as quickly as possible. He did not want to be outside in this weather for long. The spring was half over. Lane didn't know if or when he would get to explore an underwater cave. He wanted to go scuba diving to see if he could open the chest he found at the dive site just as his air was running low. With this weather, that would have to wait.


The Tiberium he had placed in his yard to grow had matured. He sold it for §39,744. He collected the mail, finding letters from Bianca, Sara Joy, and Anitra. Bridget had sent him a gift. After selling the gifts and his dumpster finds, he was §477 richer.

Wanting to finish his painting, he quickly ate some lettuce and an apple and headed to the art studio. He increased his painting skills in the process. Lane was sad to part with the island scene but had no wall to hang it on. He sold it for §172.

He visited with the Arnett family at the art studio and then headed to the equestrian center to negotiate a buy-out of the other investors. When they had reached an agreement, he went to the science center and made a very generous offer to buy the facility outright. At the end of his ventures, he had §57,269 left in his bank account.

Happy with his investments, Lane went back to the art studio to start another painting. He knew he wouldn't finish it in three hours, but he could make some progress before it was time to go to bed. When he got home, there was frost on the ground. He hoped his plants would survive the night.

Monday morning it was 36° and the ground and garden were covered in frost. Lane went to the coffeehouse for breakfast and had a big stack of pancakes with raspberry syrup and a pot of coffee with cream. He stopped by the library to transfer his investment profits of §83,600 to his bank account before returning to the art studio to work on his latest painting. The recent cold snap inspired this chilly landscape. It sold for §419.


The elixir store texted Lane, informing him they had deposited §3,771 into his account for his latest sales.

At 8:00, Lane walked over to the gym to have a green salad for dinner and use the facilities before heading home. He had a big day ahead tomorrow, as he planned to search for gems, ore, and space rocks. He went home, paid the bills of §38, and crawled into his tent to sleep.

Well, Lane awoke Tuesday morning to a downpour, so his excursion would have to be delayed. He decided to paint something. Lane was glad he was indoors, as there was a lightning strike right outside the window in the art studio courtyard. This brilliant painting was sold for §313.


With warmer weather in the forecast suitable for scuba diving, Lane decided to work out at the gym. He ran on the treadmill, increasing his athletic skill.


Lane found a letter and a gift in the mail from Anitra. He sold the gift and went to bed.

Wednesday, Lane awoke late and found the temperature had climbed to 68°, so he went scuba diving and caught a lot of marine life. He was able to open the chest and received several treasures including §5,000 and a Mariner Gnome. He enjoyed the warm weather, just hanging out on the beach and playing in the water until bedtime.

Thursday, Lane searched high and low for gems, metals, and space rocks. Exhausted but pleased with his haul, he went to bed late.

Having eaten little the day before, Lane awoke ravenous. He was in no mood to deal with the apple tree and headed directly to the diner for the full-meal breakfast. He left a generous tip for the wait staff and hurried to the art studio to smelt the metals he had found. Then it was off to the elixir shop to cut the gems.

By the time he consigned all of his items at the elixir store, it was 8:00 and he was ready for dinner. He went to the bistro and had their Vegetarian Lobster Thermador. The chef reminded him that Lane was to provide them with sea urchins. Lane had only collected one so far. He would need to go diving again to see if he could catch the second one.

After a shower, Lane cleaned up the lot and went to bed.

Saturday morning, it was 55° at 8:00, so Lane went scuba diving after eating an apple.


While depressurizing from his dive, Lane did some painting until bedtime.
