I've been following along with this challenge/story but haven't said anything until now. I like it! I'm doing the NSB challenge right now, but thinking about trying this one out in the future. Rags to Riches style of play is my favorite and I almost always start my Sims out on an empty plot with no simoleons anyway. Your challenge they at least get the necessities though, which is fun. I like how you've been able to weave in the story an explanation for common things needed to play and the PTSD idea was brilliant for explaining the Harvestfest gnomes. Kudos!
May I give some constructive criticism though? It's just a minor thing really, but in my opinion it would help a little bit with the realism and/or immersion aspect of the story. You're too far into it now to make this change, but I thought I'd mention it for any future challenges/stories of this type you may attempt.
What I would change is Kacey's appearance. Especially at the beginning. Someone who finds themselves shipwrecked would not have perfect hair, full make-up, nail polish, so much jewelry and clothes. She looks gorgeous of course, and I know you're into modeling, but it's not very realistic, IF that's what you were attempting to do.
You've been really good about explaining everything else, so maybe you could've written that her suitcase washed up on shore with all her stuff in it or something and then styled her afterward? I don't know, just a suggestion. I hope you don't take this the wrong way. By the way, I love the makeover you gave 'Joe.' You made a mediocre Sim in my opinion look fabulous! I've always admired your skills in making Sims and your talented photo editing abilities in contests. :)
Looking forward to reading the next chapter. I actually thought your post said you'd posted one and the next would be Thursday or Friday until I went to your blog to read it and realized I read it wrong. D'oh! o.O lol
