Prosperity Isle

Welcome to Prosperity Isle

2018-01-12T18:01:00.000-08:00

This is my attempt at a combined Fellowship Prosperity. I made it as an escape from my main prosperity that suffers from extreme population explosion, and just cuz I wanted to.

I picked 6 families that appealed to me from the numerous ones available to the Fellowships. The Fellowships are several neighborhoods and collections of families created by the members of the Prosperity_Challenge Yahoo Group. It's a wonderful community of a great bunch of people. We have some very talented, creative, and helpful members.

For more information on just the Fellowships follow the corresponding links to the Fellowship of your choice:

Fellowship I
Fellowship II
Fellowship III

I chose two families from each of the Fellowship Challenges to play for Prosperity Isle.

I will be attempting to blog this as I play so as to not get too far behind. I do however have two prosperity hoods that I do play. Anyways with out further ado..Enjoy!!

Faststien House Round 1
The Trials and Tribulations of a Flu Ridden House

Hi!! My name is Patrice. In the above photo that's me holding my darling little girl Iris. The teen with the 'tude is my son Kurtis, and the beautiful little girl in front is my daughter Tiffiny. We just moved to Prosperity Isle after I found out what a louse I'd married. Though...is it really being married when you're the 3rd wife of 6 wives total? Apparently he had a woman in every city. He traveled a lot for work, I never thought anything about it until he landed himself in jail. Then all the wives found out about each other. Can you believe some of them actually decided to stay with him?? Well not me. I took my family off to parts where no one has heard our story so we can lead a normal life. Hopefully the troubled times will be behind us..

After we arrived there was a small welcoming commitee that came to visit. Lucille Osage, Susan Profitt, and Karsten Weissman. They all stayed quite a bit. Karsten seemed to get along with Iris very well. He's a very nice gentleman. Unfortunately one of our guests left a present for us. The flu...
Trying to take care of the kids, and myself was harrowing. It was already tough moving to a new place on limited money. I could barely keep up with the kids
I did manage to teach Iris to use the potty like a big girl and talk before she grew up.
Somehow in spite of all the bad things that have been happening she managed to grow up to be a beautiful little girl. She seems oblivious to the horrible things that have happened to our family and that makes me glad. Kurtis hates me for making us move. Tiffiny is still making up her mind how she feels about everything. I managed to teach Tiffiny a few studying tips, but Kurtis can barely talk civil to anyone these days. A boy from the neighborhood was by a Zachary Lancaster. They almost got in a fist fight so I sent the boy home before we made enemies in our new home.
I tried several times to get the kids into private school but failed miserably. The Headmaster just was not impressed with our little hovel. I even tried flirting with him.
Then I met this very nice man who helped me talk out my problems. My husband being a cade, moving, the kids not doing well in school, failing to get them in to private school, being sick with the flu. It took it's toll. The good doctor was a big help to me. I wonder if he's single...
Unfortunately I got soo busy with raising the kids, trying to work, and being sick. I forgot to pay the bills..

And the repo man came and took our bookcase away. I really liked that bookcase!! By the end of the week it was Tiffiny's time to grow up. Maybe next week will be better.

Ribeiro House Round 1

2008-02-12T21:46:00.000-08:00

Ribeiro House Round 1
Bumps, Bugs, n Babies!

Hi!! I"m Abigail. That's me holding my nephew Benjamin. My sister Aimee and her daughter Bethany. We just moved to Prosperity Isle after my sister's marriage fell apart. Aimee thought she'd married the perfect man. He was tall, handsome, ambitious, rich, and supposedly nuts about her. I told her he was a lying sleaze ball just trying to get some but she didn't believe me. I told her he would leave her high and dry for next year's model. She chose not to believe me. They lasted a few years longer than I thought they would because my sister is the classic trophy wife. After she had Benjamin though she found out that all the overtime her husband had been doing on the weekends was actually his secretary. She'd decided to surprise him at work with a romantic office picnic when he had to work overtime one Saturday. Boy, did she get a surprise! She walked in on them en flagrante! Picture Hilary Clinton walking in on Monica Lewinsky and Bill and you'll have a starting idea of what she walked into.

She came to me in tears and begged me to help her leave him. Their pre-nup had been air tight though so she didn't get anything. I told her to read the fine print but she didn't for some reason. Turns out he'd included a clause that even if she caught him cheating she wouldn't get anything if she left him. She'd thought they'd last forever, but I know better. Her husband had tried to get it on with me a few times even!

Shortly after we arrived Aimee started getting sick. We had met a few nice people in the neighborhood but Aimee was so sick I ended up having to look after the kids a lot at first, and we didn't really get to know our neighbors.
I got myself a makeover as soon as I could. I wasn't going to be getting any action if I didn't look delicious. So far I've only found one guy really worth seducing, but that'll change as we get more settled. I got a job in the music industry. Hot little outfits for the win! Watch out Prosperity Isle!! Lady on the Prowl!

We found out after a while why Aimee was so sick. She was pregnant with the bastard's third child.

I had to help Bethany with her school work because Aimee was too sick with the baby to be able to help with much of anything. I had to wonder if she was also still mopping bout her husband and his cheating ways...Then Finally it was time...

Turns out though that life wasn't going to get easier after the baby....
Or should I say Babies plural. Aimee gave birth to two beautiful little baby boys, Mark and Derek.
Benjamin wasn't a toddler too much longer after the babies were born though..
When he grew up he started griping right away about how his mom smelled bad and that he was tired. And shortly after he grew up Bethany followed suit...

It was a long week for us, but it'll get easier eventually. Aimee is finally working as Button Masher, and I'm slowly working as a Piano Tuner.

Author's Note: I have a slight bug issue at the moment, that is going to cause me to re-install. I was playing this house and sometime Wednesday, it suddenly got stuck in slow motion. I tried multiple things to fix it, but finally ended up moving the family out. I then plowed the lot, and put a new copy of the house in. Then added the family back in. It was Wednesday when they moved out, I stopped play on Thursday. I then moved the family back out and in to get their timer back to what I need it to be to remember where at in the round I am. I didn't gain any funds doing this. I'm pretty sure I lost funds to be honest. However, I do know that the bug I am experiencing will eventually cause me to have to re-install the whole game. I'm just putting it off.

Points this Round: 2, For Derek and Mark, who are named after Dr. McDreamy and Dr. McSteamy of Gray's Anatomy. The naming scheme for this house is characters from Gray's Anatomy.

Holiday House Round 1

2008-01-26T21:26:00.001-08:00

The Holiday House Round 1
Toddlers, Teens, and a few Obscene things?

Hi! I'm Andre Holiday! This is my family or what's left of it. I'm holding my little girl Venice, Destin is holding his little brother Jazz, Danton is in front with his big brother, Dakota.

My wife, Ginger was killed in a horrible fire in which we lost our business, our home, and her. It broke my heart. I took the small bit of money we got from the insurance company and bought us this home in Prosperity Isle. I came here hoping to rebuild our lives, and forget the bad things that happened in our last home. I also came here hoping no one would find out my secret. Unfortunately...my secret followed me here.
As soon as we got here it became apparent we were in trouble. We couldn't even afford beds!! Destin and Dakota started combing the beach for anything they could find to help us buy the basics we needed to survive.
The welcome wagon showed up a bit later. Bob Profitt, Patrice Faststien, and Monica Chandler showed up to welcome us. As you can see our house was very very empty. We couldn't even afford a stove for several days!!
Our welcome wagon, helped entertain the little ones but I was soo tired. I kept getting worn out so I didn't really have much time to visit.
I soon started putting on mad amounts of weight, which didn't make sense because I barely had time to feed myself, rest, and visit the facilities. I couldn't understand it. I was running myself ragged trying to take care of myself and the toddlers.
Dakota got a job as a record store clerk, and built sandcastles to stimulate his mind so he could get ahead at work. I just didn't have the energy to work when we first got here. I felt like such a worthless Dad. Thankfully Destin was willing to help out.

I kept falling asleep everywhere, and so did the toddlers. I never seemed to managed to get them and me into bed. I kept getting fatter, and had to pee all the time. I couldn't figure it out. I thought I was coming down with something.
That's when I started hiring a nanny as often as I could. The kids were trying to find everything they could in their spare time to help hire the nanny and fill out the house.
It seemed like every time we got ahead there was something new we needed. The bills kept coming in and I was so under the weather. I also had to hire a maid because I couldn't keep up with myself, the toddlers and cleaning the house on top of everything else. Every time I'd clean up a mess the toddlers would make a new one.
We finally had enough money to make a real kitchen, and I started a fire. I was soo hungry all the time, but I just kept getting fatter. I couldn't understand it...I actually started two fires... I'm such a failure at times.
And then one night in my bedroom I started having these horrible cramps...It was unspeakable amounts of pain. I didn't know what was going on!!

And then I gave birth to a baby boy....I didn't even know it was possible for a male to get pregnant. That's when I knew my secret wasn't going to be kept a secret. Right away the locals were talking about my alien love child. It wasn't that I wanted to be molested by aliens it just happened. And I'd been so ashamed that I moved the family here at the first opportunity. I didn't want anyone to know that the aliens had done obscene unspeakable things to me.
Destin's friends kept asking about it and he had to explain. These Glissade girls kept following him home from school. They were utterly fascinated at wanting all the horrible details. Sheesh teens these days..if it's obscene and inappropriate they wanna know all about it!
The toddlers grew up at some point during the week, but it was without any ado because we just couldn't afford it. I was still tired and worn out, but I was feeling well enough I got a job in the Politics career track. I even managed a promotion before the end of the week. Jazz and Venice like to play each other with Chess. It's becoming a favorite thing for the family to do, play chess.
Unfortunately, after Destin was promoted to a piano tuner at work some stupid musician wanted his piano tuned badly. Destin was afraid of getting a bad reputation and refused to not tune the piano. The canned him for it! He was sooo upset about it.

Author's Note: Bad Chance Card

Before we knew it, it was time for Jupiter to grow up.

Jupiter Holiday
Sagittarius
0/0/10/7/10

Jupiter is a happy toddler, and thankfully I am able to take better care of him than I was with his older siblings. I've even managed to get him potty trained and taught him to walk. He likes to play in our puppy Candy's food dish. I decided to start working on my dream of raising 20 puppies or kittens shortly after the triplets became children. Destin really likes Candy and wants to be her master.
Unfortunately some things never change, and sometimes I don't manage to get Jupiter in his crib before he falls asleep. We had one last birthday this week, and that was when Dakota became a teen.

Dakota Holiday

LTW: Chief of Staff

We also had a visitor this week that I'm suppose to mention to you. I didn't really care for her but she is very nice and got along with the kids great.

Author's Note: The Mystery Girl makes another appearance as a guest at the Holiday House. I'm hoping she'll have chemistry with one of the boys later on. Any one figure out who she is yet?
Points this round: 1 for Jupiter.

Odd Shot Out: Lynn! She was a walk by but unfortunately I couldn't get anyone out to greet her. Hehe , guess her aspiration =-p

Cooprider House Round 1

2008-01-19T19:32:00.001-08:00

The Cooprider House Round 1
Failing, Shrink Visits, n Future Wives?

Hi!! I'm Layce Cooprider! That's me in the purple with my Sister Siba's daughter and her kids. Siba and I talked Celeste into moving to Prosperity Isle so we could enjoy our retirement on the beach. We'd planned to help Celeste and her husband Gary raise their kids in our golden years. Unfortunately shortly after arriving here, Gary perished when a swarm of flies attacked him out of no where. Siba and I decided that we would have to end our retirement to help out Celeste more.

The good news is, we are still right on the beach, and we do try to spend quality time together relaxing, and sunbathing. The girls like to build sandcastles, and we can always try to find things to sell in the sand.

Shortly after we got here a welcome wagon arrived. Aimee and Abigail are sisters and live right next door to us. Patrice lives down the street with her kids.
This nice lady Gina Simmers also stopped by to visit...Risto said she kept telling him that she'd love to be part of his future someday...Weird Lady!

Author's Note: This is Gina aka FairyDavanaSim aka KountryAngel. You can read her blog here.

Our guests decided to go fishing with Michaell. Celeste tried to talk to this guy named Howie, but he wanted to talk about kissing, and Celeste just didn't think he was cute enough to be talking about that with. For a grown woman she sure can be silly! Who cares what a man looks like it's all about what's in his bank! Of course I might be partial to rich guys since I'd really like to go back to enjoying my retirement..but ahh well..Siba is a Military Recruit and I'm a Lab Assistant. Not the greatest jobs, but hey what can ya expect when you have to visit the ladies room every five minutes!

Patrice from down the street tried to help out a few times with Kricket while she was still a toddler since Celeste was exhausted trying to make it in the game design field. Patrice would just come over without us bothering her and start helping in the middle of the night.
Teaching Kricket her toddler stuffs sure was hard I'll tell ya! I managed to get some of that special baby stuff that makes them learn quicker, but I swear between my old bladder, her baby bladder, and us getting tired..it took nigh on forever! But somehow between everybody in the house and that special bottle stuffs we did manage to get Kricket her toddlers skills so she can do better growing up.
Which is prolly a good thing since both Risto and Michaell darn near failed outta school...Celeste took that real hard. Risto even lost his job as a Spelunker!! We'd been making sure they got to school but the kids was always complaining bout not having any fun. So we didn't force them to do their homework. It was always on the list of things to teach them, but well me n Siba are old darn it!! These are suppose to be our golden years..hrmph...
Celeste sorta went nuts when Risto got his F, got fired, and Michaell came home with a D. She talked about seeing a doctor, but since she was sitting on the front lawn, and clucking like a chicken I highly doubt she ever got around to it. Sides..we can't really afford them kinda bills ya know? Siba made it a point to sit down with each of the kids Friday night and teach them how to do their homework. Hopefully this will get them on the right track again.
Risto went downtown to try and cheer himself up and he said he met ANOTHER strange lady that was talking to him about wanting to be in his future...some lady named Wen. He said she seemed very nice too.

Author's Note: ASimWen strikes again!! She's stalking my prosperity! Every time I send someone to a community lot there she is!! You can read her fabulous blog here.
Well Kricket managed to grow up good, and for a while her mom tried making toys. When she found Kricket fell for her fake pet brick though, and found her trying to teach it tricks in the kitchen, she said enough was enough and gave up that idea.

Author's Note: Kricket kept placing the brick in front of the frig and I almost lost the kids to starvation before I realized why no one was helping themselves to food. So we sold the brick and the toy station so as to not have a nasty visit from the social worker on top of everything else.

Near the end of the week Michaell grew up. Somehow inspite of bad grades, and all the craziness around here she managed to grow up well. She said she wants to be rich when she grows up. I guess I can understand that.

Michaell Cooprider
Aspiration: Fortune
LTW: Hall of Famer

Course the family is doing a lot better now. We have an appointment all set up with the local headmaster of a private school for this coming Monday with luck he'll overlook the kids recent grades. Celeste also said as a thank you to Siba and me that she's taking the 3 of us on a vacation to the Far East next Friday. Celeste said she'd been saving for it all week. I can't wait!! I've heard such fun things. Siba is thrilled because she'd mentioned in passing she wanted to go to Celeste and is thrilled Celeste picked up on her hints. Course...She thinks that Celeste did it just so she can escape the kids and find a new husband. Can't say as I blame Celeste, kinda hard to meet a good man with these kids around. She'll scare off all the good ones!! Best to hook him in first and then let him know bout the kids! Maybe Siba and I will get to enjoy our golden years yet! Takemizu Village here we come!!
Points this round: -2, 1 for Celeste's shrink visit. She really was doing well until the kids both came home with failing grades. Unfortunately I found it really hard to keep the kids happy with them being in public school. Hopefully this will get fixed next round. -1 for Risto getting fired from his job due to poor school performance.

Family Worth at the End of the Round: $36,101

Just to prove he IS roaming around Prosperity Isle..I give you..The ONE...The ONLY....

Rosada House Round 1

2008-01-18T02:16:00.000-08:00

The Rosada House Round 1
Fires, Fired, n Death!

Hi! I"m Amethyst Rosada!! This is me with my sisters Aquamarine, Ariana, Brigid, and Danielle. We moved to Prosperity Isle with our dad Bob to start over after a neglectful power plant near our old house left my sisters and I looking rather unusual. Unfortunately right after we got here...Bad things started happening. Dad died when a satellite fell on him. Taking care of our kids sisters is exhausting!
Aquamarine and I were trying so hard but we couldn't seem to find time to sleep or do the basics, like visit the ladies room.
We tried to take care of ourselves but well..We're still kids ourself ya know? We kept catching our mac n cheese on fire. It was very scarey...

The worst though was when Aquamarine was taking care of the little ones, Dad's ghost scared her several times in a row. I don't know why he chose to do this he was such an amazing neat nice guy. He loved us all very much.

Aquamarine couldn't handle the toll..it was all too much the trauma of Dad dying, taking care of our baby sisters. When Dad scared her she just collapsed from the shock of it.

I tried to plead for her life, but when Grim asked me to pick a hand.....well..

I didn't pick so good. =-( Then I woke up and realized all that bad stuff was just a bad dream. Except for the part bout Dad dying.

Author's Note: I didn't save at this point. I'll be honest. It took prolly four tries before I could sit thru all the bad things that happened to this poor family. There were at least 4 fires across all the tries, Aquamarine did die, the girls passed out a whole bunch at first, suffered from horrible nannies. I had forgotten just how hard these families are, plus starting on a beach lot was a trial in and of it's self. So I chalked the not saving up to play testing the lot. Trust me the save I kept still wasn't a wonderful week.

I decided to head down to Cold Issue Clothing to pick up some cell phones for me and Aquamarine.

Author's Note: Our first Simself spotting...only fitting it's ASimWen...I'm starting to believe the bloghog thing LOL!
I met this really cool guy Zaed Robbins..He seems like a nice guy but very unusual. He's a nice friend too..

Author's Note: Zaed Robbins was the first family friend for the Rosadas. This happened all by itself when I sent Amethyst to Cold Issue. Now in the background you'll see a blond girl. Can you guess who she is? She's a very very popular character in one of the blogs I read, but with a little bit of a twist...she doesn't quite look herself....Can you figure it out?? If someone figures it out I'll confirm who she is.
After my little sisters grew up to be kids, I decided to get us a puppy. We adopted a cute little girl puppy named Cascara that means Shell in Spanish! She's a very Independent cowardly little puppy but we love her!
Living on the beach is great, everyone loves to build sand castles, go swimming in the ocean, and look for shells. Sometimes we find nasty little crabs and sometimes we find pretty shiney jewellry. The really helpful stuff is the starfish, and conchs, and colored glass we find. They've helped pay for furniture and nannies, but our house is still so bare! We don't even own a tv!
This little girl from down the road came home with our little sisters the other day. Her name is Michaell Cooprider. We'd met her Mom, Grandma, and a great-aunt I think the first day we got here to Prosperity Isle.
Towards the end of the week I got canned from my job. I was soo upset I want nothing more than to succeed, although my dream is to be a Chief of Staff.

Aquamarine helped all the girls learn to study. I wish someone had taken the time to teach us. Our homework takes forever to do. Luckily we were able to get everyone caught up on school work by the weekend.

And Cascara grew from a puppy to a very pretty dog! She's now got a career in Showbiz and has learned to Speak. Her favorite thing to do is watch the ocean waves.
We all miss Dad very much but we're starting to get a handle on things better. Hopefully Aquamarine and I can take good care of our little sisters so they don't suffer as much as we did.
Point this Round: I'm just happy that I didn't LOSE points. Amethyst lost her job thru a bad chance card. Can't remember which one though.

The Making of Prosperity Isle

2008-01-12T20:33:00.000-08:00

Perhaps you are wondering how the Prosperity Isle came to be? What it looked like before the start?

To start with after installing Bon Voyage. I chose a brand new template with a beach. The reason for this is I wanted to start my founders on beach lots. I had read about all the cute things toddlers could do on beaches and that is the only way to get them on a beach. Also I am going to be trying to follow this prosperity as closely to the rules as possible. Now the rules may change mid play because as of the posting of this entry the rules for Bon Voyage have not been posted.

The first big difference with these starter lots is the cost of the smallest beach lot is $8,800 simoleons. Any who...I created the template. Then I followed the directions located here, at the mod the Sims 2 website. So custom townies and npcs generated with my custom content. That should make things refreshing.

But wait this is suppose to be a Fellowship hood right?? That's when I downloaded all the Fellowship Families from Fellowships I, II, and III, and added them to the lots and houses bin. Then plopped them down in Prosperity Isle. The following pictures are of Prosperity Isle before all the fellowship families were added as custom townies. As you can see, there are ALOT of Families....

So which families made the final cut? You'll just have to stay tuned to find out!
