Since I'm getting bored with TS3 at the moment, I decided to do a really hard challenge, then I remembered the Apocalypse challenge. If anyone has never heard of the Apocalypse Challenge, this is how it is.It starts when at half time in the American Superbowl, when everyone goes to the loo and flushes it. Of course, with so many toilets being flushed at the same time, something's gonna happen. And what happens is three power plants melt down, causing toxic devastation. The ground is toxic, so nothing grows, the air is toxic, so people get weaker, and health, food and technology have taken a turn for the far, far worse. Your founder is in college at the time, but when they move to the town, they face HUGE challenges, and lots of restrictions.
My founder is the lovely Roxie Gravity, a sim I made a while ago. I'm gonna look at this on her perspective.
I stand here, my mouth feels like it going to drop to the floor, but I don't think I wanna do that. Breathing this toxic air through my nose is bad enough, I don't want to feel like I'm tasting it too. The dry, dry sand wouldn't ever be able to keep a plant alive in it, so that's a resource of food I cannot rely on. My home is this plot of land, and I must make shelter before dark.
I want to run, run away so far from this barren land. But I cannot, becuase I cannot afford to leave. But I still run, run to the shores of the island I must make my home. My long wavy hair sweeps side to side as I sprint. Maybe the shores and the sea air smell better than it does deeper into the land.
The shores have a slightly better smell, though it does not defeat the stench of toxic fumes from the power plants. Realising I have nothing to eat tonight, I pull my father's fishing rod out and begin to cast. My father gave this to me before he passed away when I was in college.
The pressure was on, for I had no fishing skills, the only thing I knew about this sport was what my father taught me as a child, though I had took no interest. Now I needed was just to remember what I learnt. It was this, or they could be no meal for tonight.
I catch, but the catch is small. It would barley create a mouthful after cooking this! I take it anyway, so I can eat tonight. I also caught two the same, and I am rather tired after the session. Oh my, the toxic air is making me weak already!
Ignoring my fears, I head back to the front of my wasteland "home" and look for a job in the newspaper. There is one for the culinary career, and I take it right away. But it seems if I miss one day of work, I'll be jobless....
I was gonna make a house, but it needs to be on pillars, and I can't find them. Does anyone know where they are kept?
And if you would like the world I used to create my challenge, here's a link to that too.
One last thing. Since I am not allowed to make spouses for my Apocalypse, would anyone like to surrender one of their male sims for my apocalypse? Thanks.
