    @Brennachan - Chapter 1 is up. I also did a Brief summary of the challenge in another post. Happy reading!

    Awesome! I commented. It's funny, I saw the garbage can I didn't get. I know I had moo on when I placed the lot because none of the lots would have looked right if I hadn't. Who knows? They still try to throw the trash into the unlit bonfire so I don't care.

    Erghhhh I wanna play this so bad but I don't have outdoor retreat and I just don't think it would be the same T_T

    Naw, totally wouldn't be the same. You wouldn't have tents or deodorizing cream. They were having a sale on all of the packs recently, not sure if they still are.

    Wooot! A lot is going on here and I love it!

    @SoulGal7 -- can't wait to read your story!

    @Rainydayz179 -- I understand about FB. I have a simming account there, just for playing games so I can avoid family drama! Awesome murky screenie with a mutant raccoon and a Mad Mudder! Love it! Can't wait to read your story!

    @lisabee2 -- starting over with the trashplants! Oh nooo! It's a lot a work keeping those other simmies from cleaning up! You can do it though!

    @Pebblycat -- awesome job on marking up your collectibles from the table!

    @14hours -- just wait for a really good sale and then start the challenge then. It will be a more complete experience. I also use a lot of stuff from City Living...

    Brennachan will be joining Murkland soon in a household I will upload this weekend. Here's a sneak peek:

    Having items at 200% markup still takes a while to sell, I think Sims can still be a little tight with their money ;)

    Here's an update pic...

    They still love to dance together <3

    @Pebblycat - congrats on completing part 1! I love the dancing pic! Great job on those skills!

    @lisabee2 - read your stories - both of them twice! and what a hunk you found at the hot springs! Can't wait to read more!

    @Brennachan - oh - I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next!

    @Rainydayz179 - thanks so much for reading my story. As I am a new blogger, any comments or suggestions are truly appreciated.

    Happy Murky tales everyone!

    Oh? I didn't know you could make a FB that wasn't for an actual person. I swear they stopped that back when I was playing Second Life. Looking forward to adding Brennachan to Murkland!

    I have 2 Murky stories up .. 3rd one out soon :)

    Awesome! I'll check them out in WP reader. I'm getting a few days behind on everyone's stuff anyway. EDIT: Oops! I thought these were new chapters and couldn't figure out why I couldn't find them! Duh. :D

    You're welcome. I hate to say it but you're not going to get many comments on a blogger blog. So you might have more readers that it appears. I had one for 2 years and very rarely got a comment until I finally moved it to wordpress. It's just a pain to fill out the goofy form to post a comment. I'm off to read the new chapter!
  • ra3reira3rei Posts: 2,418 Member
    @Rainydayz179 technically FB will stop you from having a fake account - However if you've got a unique email address and the name doesn't look too fake, it won't care. I do FB simming stuff under my real account since I can't be bothered, but back when I played FB games I made two accounts so I could pass the unavoidable - have 3 friends who play item.

    Also HI RAINY - I'm looking to play this challenge as well. :)
    Check out Raerei's Fortress for Builds, Short Stories, and maybe some longer stuff.
  • StormyDayzStormyDayz Posts: 4,035 Member
    @ra3rei Heyyy! I've got a few chapters on my blog if you want to check it out. I learned most of the stuff by trial and error. I'm hoping to play tomorrow. I'm thoroughly engrossed in a new book so I doubt I'll be playing today.

    @Brennachan I saw the Freegan camp on the other thread! Yay! It looks like a spa. Those Freegan's have it made. ;)
  • SoulGal7SoulGal7 Posts: 3,630 Member
    @ra3rei - what's your blog site so I can read all about it! Working on my next chapter as we speak.

    Oh have to go to the gallery! Yeah @Brennachan

    Another great chapter! Are you getting my comments?
  • SoulGal7SoulGal7 Posts: 3,630 Member
    @Rainydayz179 - I just figured out where the comments were! And yes, thanks so much! I replied to all the comments that everyone posted on my blog. Thank you! Thank you! I have to figure out how to do separate Table of Contents for the 2 stories on there. I also have another work-in-progress story on there for @CathyTea 's Pen Pal Challenge.

    If anyone has a blog on Murkland stories, I would be happy to read it. I just love reading about Murkland adventures! lol

    You're welcome. To add a table of contents you need to create a page. I think it's under posts? It's been a long time. Then you just type out the chapter names or numbers however you want it to look and link to them. Feel free to PM me if you need help. I still have my old blogger blog and I can look for you.

    Rainy just died! She was eating at the Puffer Dome with Brennachan. It said "normal" so I thought it was safe. Not so! I'm just twiddling my thumbs trying to decide what to do. I can't stop laughing! I'll add pics in a few.

    EDIT: Pics as promised!

    I totally intended to! I even saved before they started eating. Then it happened and I just couldn't do it. I gave my simself a makeover and moved her into the lot. :D

    I know! I think that was the funniest part of all! Although, the death itself was freaking hilarious.

    :D:D:D Poor Rainy! At least she passed away with good company by her side

    I never knew The Sims had a "game over", what happened?

    I had to choose between going to the main menu... basically quitting without saving or saving and going to manage worlds to choose another household to play. I've only had it happen to me once before.

    Oh no! She can't die. I was worried about that restaurant! Are you still playing her, or are you on a re-start?

    *stares longingly at this challenge* ooooo... I really want to do this. I've got this thread bookmarked for when I decide to dive in. :smiley:

    I'm restarting. I did a little twist in the story to make it more entertaining. Hence the new profile pic cuz I found some cool CC hair that looks almost exactly like my RL hair while I was at it!
