@SoulGal7
That whole "rigged" scenario would have been a hilarious pretext for an update, with all the crews suspecting Mad Mud and him not caring, lol.
@Charliimai
A warm welcome to Murkland! I'd never experienced a sim story like yours, with audio narration. I love your voice and way of speaking.
Almost wrote that I like your British accent, but then remembered that some say it's the Americans who have the accent, lol.
@EuphorialQueen
How the heck did you get so far in the Starter Challenge already, haha! Is it because of your experience as the reigning Rosebud Queen?
A random question to everybody:
Has anyone tried the Hermit's secret Fungal Fertilizer recipe (or whatever it's called)?
I am gravely inept at capturing insects so I will not be the Murklander for that particular experiment.
@lisabee2
Your murky neighbors adore you as much, if not more, than you adore them!
@Shizu9no1 .. You called and came over to hang out at my place .. we took Trin and Bren fishing on a mini fishing derby .. you may have arrived last but you took first
Our wonderful friend Kym Coetzee and I came up with a bit of fun for our Murky friends .. have you ever played the game where you start with one line of a story and then everyone just keeps adding a line until the story is told? (Will run it on FB too to see what comes out of each.) Be sure to quote so that all the comment come with
I will start ...
During the murky mini fishing derby it was discovered ...
Were you by chance in Granite Falls when you got this bill or just off lot when the bills were delivered? There is a bug that causes huge bills if you are off lot when they come. I try to remember to stay at home on Mondays until after the bills arrive.
OHHH TY so much!
BLECH! The bill glitch just hit my game as well. I had NOT been to Granite Falls for a couple Sim weeks. I was on the Murkland Mercantile retail lot looking for Medicine (Yup - Valeda had been seeing stars and had a stuffy head... ) It was late on a Sunday night and she stayed for a bit to look over the store and chat with other Sims. It was still dark when the bill notice popped up while she was on the store lot.
I am wondering if it was because I was playing the Salamanders long enough to buy the lot?
I suspect maybe that is also why I got a notice about another Sim gaining retail skill?
If you go into manage households, you can mark the Salamanders unplayed again. Click the family plumbob.
@MsPhy Good morning Thank you for the suggestion. I did that in the beginning. After posting the above I went thru and sold items from her personal inventory. The next bills were around 500 which was much better.
REALLY hated to get rid of those perfect deodorizer cream ingredients

The 'secret' is out
Just about all my games start Rosebud style with Zero Simoleons and an empty lot. They usually live the entire first week not selling anything. That keeps them from frivolous spending.

Unless I'm mistaken (which ain't outta the question), I don't believe we are allowed to make any other potions other than the deoderizing cream.
Thanks for the comments on my update. However the voice in the Audio does not belong to me It is a text to speech program. I was worried it sounded too mechanical but I guess its not as bad as I thought.
I will try to catch up on everyone's updates over the next few days. I love this challenge and am excited to see everyone's take on it.

Ooh, you're right! I just reread the rules and we can't make any herbal remedies except the deodorizing cream!
Thanks for pointing that out!
@Shizu9no1 -- thank you for providing me with all the links. The first page is now up to date.
Everybody: If you have a link to a story, blog, youtube channel etc and it is not on the front page, please post it and I will be happy to add it. I hope I didn't forget anyone!
@EuphorialQueen Right now the only aspiration is the Friend of the World one BUT I don't see a problem with doing the writer one while doing the library challenge because I don't think I will be using that one in the upcoming challenges...
My Simself and I have decided to give the challenge a go. I am not writing a story as such but I am going to post updates on weebly. It does take a few minutes for the second page to load due to audio. (The Audio is something i'm trying out as I am using the technique to write an interactive story so please let me know if you have any issues.)
I have only managed to play for a few sim hours due to RL commitments but i'm loving it so far. Thank you @Brennachan for the fantastic challenge, sims and lots and special thanks to @EuphorialQueen for setting up the Murkland starter save which has saved me a ton of time.

@EuphorialQueen -- those bills are crazy! it should be around $400-500 or so...but you don't have to pay them...
@EuphorialQueen - I am going to ask Brennachan to find out how to deal with the bill. Mine is $9K! @Brennachan - how should we deal with the bill glitch that is happening now? Do we have to pay the full bill from our hard earned funds, do a money cheat for part of the bill....please could we have your suggestions on this. Thanks

Until this is sorted out, I think you can adjust it. I believe the bills should be about $400 or so for the starter camp...
