@OJenn I love this!! I can't wait to have time to play Sims again so I can try out this new version of the challenge. Is the old thread/challenge still going too, or are we moving over here?

Also, how does this sound for the Brindleton Bay story...

Brindleton Bay - Animal Rescue
Brindleton Bay used to be quiet, slow-paced town nestled between the mountains and the coast. Nothing "big" ever happened there, until the earthquake... Homes and businesses that weren't leveled during the quake were quickly destroyed by resulting fires and mudslides. Most of the survivors took what they had and moved away to rebuild their lives--but not you. You have a heart for animals, and you stayed behind to rescue the poor pets that were lost and left behind in the chaos. As soon as the rubble is cleared, you plan to open a veterinary clinic to treat all of the sick and wounded animals, adopt out those that you can, and personally take in those that can't be adopted.

The old thread is definitely still going for those who may not have the new packs. This one is just here for the newer packs and a bit more of a challenge. I really like the story you came up with for Brindleton Bay, those poor pets. Thank goodness our potential founders are sticking around. I will get it added up above.

I thought of one for StrangerVille too! (It would make a good 5-gen world like Del Sol Valley, and you could totally use my StrangerVille mystery sim Andromeda as one of the founders!)

StrangerVille -- Strange Strangers
StrangerVille used to be the center of a top-secret military research facility holed away in the middle of the desert (literally--it was built inside a massive hole). Rumor has it, something went wrong--really wrong--and the locals started acting really...strange. All that is known for sure is that the lab was shut down and locked up tight, and most of the town's residents lost their jobs and moved away. You came to solve the StrangerVille mystery, but you fell in love with the old ghost town, and now you want to restore it to its former glory. But first, you need to solve the mystery, because the rumors are definitely true...

I took a small break for formatting the thread to get The Greene Founders settled into Evergreen Harbor. I downloaded this lot from the gallery for them to have a place to get a break while construction begins on their home.

@OJenn I love your intro post! The Greenes are adorable after their make-over. And I love that you used my sims for Sulani! I never ended up playing them, so maybe I'll have to one of these days...

@OJenn I love your founders! Sorry mine are not up yet. I tried to upload them last night and tonight and both times I ended up having issues. They'll be up soon! I don't want to get too far behind you! I love the way she's looking at him in the second picture. I also love the little barrettes in her hair.

@OJenn I'd recommend to start StrangerVille with a single sim instead of a couple, and start on the lot Slip 42. Partner with a pre-made or townie for the founding gen, as there are lots of pre-made singles in StrangerVille, and it generates a lot of military and scientist townies. Then move to Riverside Grove once the single sim is coupled/has kid(s), because Slip 42 is too small for a family imo. Alternately, just do a founding couple & start on Riverside Grove.
GENERATION 1 - Slip 42/Riverside Grove
GENERATION 2 - Carpophagous Corner
GENERATION 3 - Dream Weaver's Way
GENERATION 4 - Plateau Place
GENERATION 5 - StrangerVille Overlook

I can make the StrangerVille gene pool tonight, if you want :smile:

@Heckstress17 Ahhh I miss you!! I understand what you mean about being bored with Sims, I definitely go through those phases. I actually really want to play right now, but between working full time again, running three D&D games a week, and playing Skyrim in what little free time I have, I just don't have time for Sims right now. I'll totally be keeping up with the thread & commenting when I get time though, because I miss you guys too. Also, apparently there's a sale going on, so I gifted you Eco & StrangerVille :smile:

Yes please and thank you, @JordanNicoleJJ, and omg you are so sweet to gift those packs!

Also, I really like the idea of having a single sim especially with the story mode portion of Strangerville #nospoilers :wink: updated the posts up top to reflect that. And no worries @debjameswhite I turned off aging until everyone joined in so I am just building and earning right now.
