Time Reckoning in Apple Grove (outdated)

I wanted to be able to have actual dates for events that happen in Apple Grove like birthdays and weddings, so I have given it some thought and decided to keep it simple instead of really hurting my mathematically-challenged brain. This is relatively simple to me, and if someone else has already done it this way, I honestly didn't mean to copy and take credit for myself. Every time I look at someone else's system, my brain starts shutting down. I admire the heck out of people who have complex systems, charts and graphs. I wish I could be like them, but I will give up if I really have to think too much. ;)

Lara Fletcher: Round 3 / The Fancey Fellow

Lara is the oldest of the Fletcher kids, and the last to settle into her own apartment after college. I think living in an apartment has to go against the grain of a fortune sim anyway, as it isn't an investment to throw away money on rent, but there really weren't any available houses in her price range.

Zoe Tucker: Round 3 / Witch Guy?

I have no idea why it says Zoe has -§9,641, but I didn't notice at the time, and things worked out for her despite it.



Now that Zoe was out of college, she decided to rent an apartment in this triplex. 9A Turnover Terrace is the apartment on the left.

Sophie Fletcher: Round 3 / Witchy Woman

I'm still trying to get caught up with my blogging, which is probably why I update so frequently. I actually played up to halfway through Round 4. I'm trying to have the self discipline to not play again until I've blogged to that point, but with the game open to check information, it's so hard to be good.

Sophie finished college and her Lifetime Want of woohooing 20 sims, and is now getting her first apartment.



She is renting 11D Turnover Terrace, which is the bottom apartment.

The Tucker(s) 2: Round 3 / I'm Just A Gigolo

Brian Tucker is finished with college and is now living out on his own.



He moved into 11A Turnover Terrace, which is the top apartment or penthouse, I guess. It seems a fitting bachelor pad for him.

Kimberly Tucker: Round 3 / A Great Match

After college, Kimberly Tucker moved into this apartment complex. Actually, they're separate houses, which is very nice for having plenty of space and avoiding noise. Originally named Bella Donna Circle, it is now named Candy Apple Court. In the future, all the palm trees in Candy Apple Court will be replaced by apple trees, as Apple Grove is not a tropical kind of place.



Kimberly has rented apartment #1.

University Round 3: Sorority Sisters Find the Volauvent Society

When we last saw the Hamiltons, Rose and Violet had just gone off to college. Apparently, Forrest took time away from his job in business and his 6 precious cats to bring the girls and get them set up in a decent house.

The Brown(s): Round 3 / The BRC and the Cult Leader

This was my first experience playing an apartment I built. There were things I liked and disliked about playing apartments. This led to me putting a hack from MATY into my downloads folder: no20khandouts. This allowed me to move my sims back out for awhile to fix some major problems I had with what I had built. I plan to keep in the hack, and plan to ignore the moving rules of the Prosperity Challenge since there is no money to be gained by moving.

I don't really like the information panel for apartments as much. There's just not much detail.



Daniel's landlord is really creepy, and is always trying to hug him. Anyway, Daniel's sister Devan is still living at the Greek house. He considered moving back into his old tiny house, but Apple Grove had some new apartments that looked nice. They were definitely larger than his old house.

The Hamiltons: Round 3 / Holy Cats!

In order to fulfill Forrest's Lifetime Want, he needs 6 pets to reach the top of their careers. Since Beverly is always on the phone, I had her call and adopt a kitten so they would have the one more pet they need.

The Bauers: Round 3 / The Complete Family

Cassandra thinks if she stares at her long enough, Charity will get off the computer and give her a turn. Not likely.

The Webbs: Round 3 / Sorry, No Pets Yet

Shame on you, Nanny Shenene! I've been bragging about what an exceptional nanny you are, and you go and start poking passersby by like any other stupid nanny. Well, I'll forgive you this time, as Brian Tucker is trying to deflower the entire single female population of Apple Grove. I'm sure he deserves to be poked.



Clinton looks very happy about his promotion to Lieutenant. You must get plenty of donuts when you are a Lieutenant.

The Fletcher(s): Round 3 / Home Fries

I don't know if you noticed or not, but this house was completely vacant in the last round because Grace Fletcher had married Clinton Webb, and she and all her kids moved in with him. That left Grace's sister Beverly with the house until she married Forrest Hamilton. After that, the house was empty until Charles (who won the die roll against his brother Rudy) bought the house and moved back in.



Charles is working out from the moment he arrives.
