Not sure if people are still following this post, but I'm excited to start this challenge once I get my new computer for Christmas! I'm going to look throughout this thread to see if anyone has any tips or tricks, but I know I plan on starting off as if it really is a new world and there is no electricity, no written languages, and my sims don't have any skills, so they must literally hone their skills before they can have anything. They will live off the land until they learn to cultivate it themselves, they will have to learn sculpting before they can build much of anything. I'm excited to watch my town grow from a caveman Era to stone age to iron age to the Renaissance Era and so on.
One question I have is about the general store that the town starts with. What exactly is it? It's not the consignment store, is it?
Thanks in advance!! And if anyone is still working on this challenge and has a blog or story somewhere please share with me!
