@FrancescaFiori I have been trying so hard to stay focused on my Rival Dynasties Challenge. I'm even rebuilding a fantastic build I found on the Gallery--not to plagiarize so much as learn their tricks.
But, I can no longer resist and am back on this thread. By now, you have visited Fort Murkland so you know that you can only reach the central stairs by swimming. That's why everyone (well during my visit, the mayor, his wife Aeon, and son Chiliad) are in their swimwear. So I'm sort of innocent. But you know me too well--if I Chiliad hadn't been, I might have asked. Mebbe...
I guess the reason I'm still hanging out is because I want this challenge to be different from my RDC, where I'm in an endless cycle of marriage, nooboos, toddlers, and so forth.
Also, I think I just haven't felt the chemistry, hehe.
@wfgodot Lol, how many times did I try traveling with you on Saturday!? I'm actually not supposed to phone, but can select you whenever I click "Travel." Where were you and what were you up to?
As for why I choose trashplants over the scantily clad Chiliad, I want to explore everything before making any decisions. Lol.
I mean, I'm being a material girl and also considering where I'd want to live and who I want as in-laws. :-)
@JudesSims What's so fun about this challenge is your sim lives alone and doesn't have a job, so I never get stuck playing until "Sim X gets home from work" or "Sim Y gets home from school."
It's easy to just pick up and play for a few hours, then quit. Also, since ageing's off, we have endless time to achieve the objectives so it can be as challenging as you want it to be.
The most time-consuming part might have been deleting all the lots, then downloading/placing Brennachan's Murkland lots and townies.
It's fun and weird and, when you tire of your goal-oriented challenges, strangely relaxing.
@Caterina I recently reading a simmer's latest update where she could only access Mad Mud's balcony. Has that been your experience, too? I haven't visited him yet.
I've been using only trash plants as fishing bait. That's what I used when I caught the Mountain Lionfish as well. Wow, you've already achieved your perfect TPs?
(TP used to mean toilet paper in my youth, like, going to TP someone's house...)
I'm curious why you prefer a basement over, say, the Buyer Beware or Ornate Beauty Storage Chest. Leaving all the stuff would occupy a considerable footprint, no?
Also, are you doing the Overgrown Library Side Challenge? I don't want the Starter Challenge to end too soon (and it won't cuz my plants are taking so long), so I'm going to do the library challenge concurrently.
So have you already completed the Starter Challenge? That was so speedy of you!
@reggikko Welcome to Murkland!!! Yeah, the hermit's parsley plants take forever to become harvestable. Wow, good going on your yard sales!
I was so excited to see a Dragonfly in the Deep Forest but when I checked later, it was just a normal $15 one, haha.
When I was half-done with Friend of the World, I was deciding between Antiseptic or Incredibly Friendly, then chose the latter.
Sometimes, I just introduce myself and do one more social and I've made a good friend already. I regret I didn't buy Antiseptic instead!
Fort Murkland has a small restroom in the back right corner as you face the lot. I had to add a door to it in order to get in, even though I re-downloaded the lot.
Darn, I didn't know that we could use that bathroom! But it was the end of my second week, so I needed to go home (or my plants will never evolve!!!).
Now that I have the tarp shower, I don't go to the Hot Springs at all. But you're right, it's a great place to socialize!
Also, people talk about showering at Granite Falls, but I don't even know where the shower is. Is it in the Campground area?
It's great that you're enjoying the game! I'm hoping I can stretch out the Starter Challenge until just before the second challenge is announced. :-)
