@mcrudd - I didn't realize this had already started. So sorry, I was away on vacation. Anyway, I am going to try this challenge, but I will be leaving for Canada again in a month, and won't have access to play, so no storyline for sure. Anyway, it's funny that I created a teen runaway just yesterday. I like that you scattered the days they go to "real" high school. What are Miranda's traits?
Also, starting this today, but on an empty lot with no tent. lol I just have to set up the game to make all lounges into bars/nightclubs due to the conflict with prom and the Open Mike night on Saturday. I would like my sim to go to at least one prom. I find that it's hard not to speak with adults, especially in group conversations (as in the original Runaway Teen you could only speak to teens and children), so will allow my sim to speak with anyone.
I find that when the welcome wagon comes and there is no place to set the fruitcake, they never give it to you anyway, and then have the nerve to eat it in front of you. lol
I will have to check out Totter Park, as I have not actually taken a sim there. There is a bathroom near the fairgrounds, but it is a long way to walk to. Showers are in the basement of the school. So I went to look at the park, and it is a sad park with no lights for nighttime either. So, I just replaced the bathrooms with the Jungle Adventure one (you can also use the Outdoor Retreat restrooms, I like the Jungle Adventure because it has a light). Both have showers in them, and just added an outdoor sink, as that is one of the requirements for a park. I also added one grill to the area near the picnic table,as there are no outdoor grills anywhere in this world (EDIT: I found some near the library, see below). So, good idea to add a grill to roast some fish. I am not sure what that open space is supposed to have...maybe it spawns a skating rink, etc. so I left it as is. There is a fishing spot right near the Little Falls Nook, so didn't add a pond to the park.
The Thrifttea store does have a small kitchen area with a fridge, microwave, coffee maker and counters. So, you can always get quick meals for 0 simoleons there. No shower, though.
I added lot traits to Little Falls Nook - Off-The-Grid and Teen Neighborhood. Starting in Summer. Her lot will have an abandoned house which is made up of roof tiles worth 0 simoleons.
For the Aspirations, because of the new pack, I chose Teen Goal-Oriented. And I like to make things hard on myself, so had to choose a negative trait for my sim. When I first made my sim, I used all base-game clothing, but have now added one everyday outfit with the new pack. My sim's favorite color is green, so all her outfits have green in them.

I only did the color likes of green and black, because if you choose activities, I feel it gives them a bonus on skills somehow.
Her background story is that she had an epic argument with her parents because of curfew, house rules and cleaning up her room, and so in a fit of anger, packed up some stuff in a backpack and snuck out of the house at night. With her meagre babysitting funds, she took the bus to a place called Copperdale where she was going to rent a furnished basement room. Unfortunately, when she got off the bus, her wallet fell out of her backpack and she didn't notice it until she arrived at the house. She now had no simoleons and no place to live and the landlord was certainly not going to let her stay there for free. She was broke and homeless, but was determined to make it on her own. She found an abandoned burned out shell of a house near the river and decided that she would call this home.

This is the abandoned house. All debug items. The windows are from cottage living and they light up at night. House made from roof pieces. Worth 0 simoleons.
