Challenge!

Alexandria went into labor!


(snickers) She looks like a monkey.
     Alexandria: I'M IN LABOR DON'T MAKE FUN OF ME!
   Oh, well then. Let's move on from Cranky here.
     Alexandria: I-
Because the labor process is so long and boring, I usually switch to a different character and play with them until the pop-up asks me to name the baby. As I played with Atalanta, Alexandria and Hunter had apparently taken themselves to the hospital. They emerged with a baby boy.


I named him "Boy" so everyone could cast their votes on what he really should be named. But then, back at home, tragety struck!


I had (quite stupidly) placed Boy's crib right next to the stove and...well, it didn't go well. No one got there in time.

Well, I thought, not a HUGE loss. We didn't even know Boy that well yet. But then Alexandria had her birthday. Her ELDER birthday.


NO NO NO WHY DID YOU HAVE TO TURN OLD?!
     Alexandria: Well thanks for putting it so nicely.
   Oh, sorry. I didn't mean it like THAT, just that you and Hunter were so good-looking, I was looking foreward to seeing what your offsprink came out to be! AND NOW YOU CAN'T HAVE A CHILD.

We had to resort to adopting. Meet Fiona Pride!


Well, I got lucky with adoption AGAIN! She's adorable! We got her as a child, but her child and teen years were REALLY boring. And I'm impatient. So.
     Fiona: Well, thanks for cutting out most of my life!
  Well, sor-ree! You have the biggest role in the Prides history since Aleena! Even bigger! I didn't want to wait!
     Fiona: Oh. Well never mind then.

What do I mean by "biggest role in the Prides history"? Because I have invented a challenge. I know, we just DID  a challenge with Aleena. but this one, I made up. Here's how it rules out:
1. Move Fiona to an empty lot with only 300 simoleons
2. Reach 500,000 simoleons (like at The Splines, but this is harder because of the catch, so instead of 1 million it's 500,000)
3. THE CATCH: THE SIMS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GET REAL JOBS! For example, they cannot be a scientist or teacher. They can't work at a job that pays them regularly. They can only do things like paint, write, fish, etc. It is actually harder than I thought it would be to make money.

So I moved Fiona out on her own on an empty lot. With the 300 simoleons, Fiona was able to afford a bench (cheapest sleeping option) and a bookshelf.



She first went to the library (the nearest place with a computer) to start on a book and "solve the unsolvable" (which comes with the Genius trait, one of my personal favorites).


(she can make extra money that way)
     Fiona: Shut up, I'm concentrating.
  No. Concentrate on your own time.
     Fiona: This is my own time.
  No, this is my time.

Then she took a shower there.


     Fiona: Doodledog! THAT IS INCREADIBLY EMBARRASSING.
  Um, yeah, I don't care.

Then she went home and read. (She's a bookworm)


     Fiona: Do they really need to know that?
  YES, YES THEY DO, THEY NEED TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE THE ONLY CURRENT CHARACTER ON THE BLOG.

*ahem* Moving on. Then she got tired and went to sleep.


     Fiona: Ugh, shut up, I'm sleeping.
  Don't tell me what to do. Sleep on your own time.
     Fiona: I-
The next morning, she had an early breakfast at the junkyard. (Ok, seriously, why would you put a fridge in a junkyard? WHO WOULD WANT TO EAT AT A JUNKYARD!!!!!)



But she was still tired after that, so she used the couch there.


     Fiona: *grumble* It's a good think I"m not a Light Sleeper.
  Yes, you're welcome :)

Now, back to the library to work on her book!


Oh! Look who came to visit the library!


     Atalanta: WHO ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU SO CLOSE?!
  Well, excuse me! I USED TO CONTROL YOU!!!
     Atalanta: Oh. Sorry about that.

Um, yeah, I'm just going to leave it at that.
