Official Rules: The Dude Ranch Challenge

Rose Cartwright's 50 Foals Dude Ranch Challenge Up-Date:

Life for Rose got rather interesting one day when she decided to visit Don Gooseman, a retired champion horse trainer, who lived in Galloping Gultch with his horse Duke. After chatting a bit, Don told her about a fabled cave called Deadhorse Caverns where untold riches could be found. Don told her that an old miner had once told him that the secret caverns were located around Galloping Gultch, but Don had never been able to find them.

Rose thanked him and decided to explore the area.

(From Don Gooseman's house, it is the easiest to spot the caverns. Sorry for the screenies, it was raining).

{You can see the black dot between the two trees. Follow the roadway to the cave. You can just click on the cave and it brings you there.}

When she went into the cave, she met some scary creatures. (The cave is like a game within the game and your sim has a certain amount of energy. Nectar seems to play a role and replenishes energy; however, there are other items that you need to get through a certain level with riddles, like a glass of water, coffee, or a mini sheep. Rose got stuck at the Say "Baa" at the door, because she didn't have a mini sheep in her inventory. If you notice in the screenies, the creature has a health status and so does your sim. This will determine if you use defense or offense against the creature. Apparently, you don't get the same scenarios twice as it changes..)

Rose exits the cave and realizes that she has to purchase a mini sheep to get past the door in the cave to see what is beyond. Maybe this is indeed the fabled Deadhorse Cavern that Don had spoken about. She needed to get some supplies and would return another day.

And so, Rose headed to the grocery store in New Appaloosa and purchased a mini goat and mini sheep, and then headed back to her Ranch.

When she returns home, her mini goat seemed to have gone wondering. She was beside herself and went in search of the mini goat.

She knocked on her neighbor's door at Canter Cottage, and was surprised to find that seven Ranch Hands lived there. They were doing work for one of the big ranches in town. Oh my! And they were all so handsome. For a moment, she forgot why she was there, but quickly recovered and asked if anyone had seen her little goat.

Three of the Ranch hands were eager to help Rose find her mini goat and also interested in getting to know Rose better. She finally found her mini goat, lying in the field near her neighbor's house. I think this mini goat was playing match-maker for Rose. I guess we shall see if it worked! lol

Here is Rose the next day with her mini sheep and mini goat. She decided to build a fence so they won't wander away anymore. teehee (I actually thought the wandering goat had run away and so had Rose buy another one. But the mini goat was actually on a match-making crusade. Anyway, now she has 2 goats.}

I downloaded some random sims from the gallery as potential suitors for Rose. One of these sims is her future husband, but which one? I am going to leave it to fate, and the first one to ask her to be his girlfriend will be "the one".
