I just discovered this after seeing it on a FB group... why did I not see this earlier? I'm a bit of a challenge addict so thought I'd seen most.
This is AWESOME. I love it! Love the builds and sims and the gameplay... Just began the starter challenge. I downloaded and put in all the lots and sims, but also saved a second save as a casual game on the side without the challenge, because I just want to play them all. Such creativity and skill! Love it! Thank you thank you!
Have been looking through this thread and so cool to see all the input from the beginning and the community chat. Love it :-)
@Joleet73 Hello and welcome on behalf of the Murkland Salamanders! @Brennachan did an excellent job with the population and their world. Having played this thru several times I hope you have as much fun as I have had.
Feel free to ask questions and share your story.
I love this challenge so much I'm about to begin for the third time. I completed the starter challenge then went on to Paid the Bills and completed those successfully. Began again and went on to Did Not Pay the Bills. Which I didn't complete successfully - somehow I lost all six cow plants at once! Third time lucky, right? But my laptop keeps loading a temporary profile so each time it does I lose my Sims saves. Never mind! Pages bookmarked and if I ever work out how to fix it, I'll be back!
@EuphorialQueen I can't afford to replace the laptop so I've got games on an external drive (not recommended, I know), automatic Windoze updates off, and sleep "never" so I'm hoping it won't restart unexpectedly!
Okay, so I've added all the lots and downloads. They're all fantastic BTW and it almost seems like StrangerVille was based on this challenge, lol! I'm a little confused on some things, though. If Dusty Boots is my neighbour, where does she live? The Murkland Starter (with my Sim) or the Freegan Camp next door? And where do I place the Thunder Gloom Clone Drone?

@divanthesimmer, like @Shadami said, you place her with the Burner Campers. There are two versions of her -- if you look in the comments you will see which one is the one to use as a neighbor -- she will have the ice and heat proof traits as well as having finished the Friend of the World aspiration. I am so glad you like the world of Murkland! Yay!

Thank you for replying. I have downloaded the neighbour version of Dusty and even renamed Oasis Springs to Murkland through a mod, lol!
I still need to get back to this. I love all the characters and lots that were created for this. I just got a little busy and pretty much waiting for perfect trash plants since I was playing during the glitch that they won't evolve or improve ... Ugh... XD

@Shadami as I am re-vamping the challenges, I have changed the evolution of the trash plants until the end of challenge 3. So, if you are just waiting for those plants to evolve, save them in a room and move them with you to challenge 2 at any stage that they are at. They just need to be perfected by the end of the 3 challenges.

The unique characters and builds by @Brennachan make it worth the downloads. For an extra challenge try playing with the off the grid lot trait.
They sure look interesting! I will definitely play with the off-the-grid lot trait.

Thanks. I just wanted to make sure, lol. I see the drone only comes into play in Challenge 2.
