@lisabee2 thanks!! I've also been anxious to post a challenge mashup I have been doing...so close! I love needless chatting. How is your nothing? Mine is fabulous!
ATM my nothing is amazing .. trying to find more of it but somehow RL will not let me Have you gotten your full EA wings yet ??
Hi I'm Tweed! ( my mother and I share a sims account. ) I'm going to be trying to do a version of this challenge with the base game ( and hopefully City Living if I get it for my birthday next week. ) and i'm very excited. I took your suggestion and used a version of my sim self for the challenge. I made Shabby little Shacks that look like poorly renovated park restrooms to replace tents and the like. Here's what I designed for your challenge!
Thanks to everyone who commented on my story And welcome to everybody who's new. I was busy with moving over the weekend, but I'm looking forward to catching up to all of the great chapters. I recently purchased some accessoire-packs. I finally have whirlpools for the hot springs *dances in happiness*
@Cmarieg971 Hi Tweed, I love the look of your character! Welcome to the Murkland challenge It is great fun.

@tammyjo329 Thank you! I am glad to finally be a Murklander
@crissylp89 Thank you so much for the MC Command tip. I haven't used mods yet in Sims 4 but I just might be tempted with this challenge....the phone is annoying. All the text messages are driving me nuts to 'X' off. Buttons got one to congratulate her on her promotion.....ummm...no job...lol...and to go out to dinner at the Puffer Dome to celebrate! Yikes....that just might end a career
Are we able to use public sinks to brush teeth/wash hands (for example....at GF there is a sink outside the buggy toilet). What about public toilets?
How on earth do you get rid of the stink on the bush on your lot? Buttons used it once and it is oozing green all over the place! Can we go into buy mode and replace the bush with an clean one? Do they clean themselves over time?
Are we allowed to do the magic bean challenge? I've placed the long table on the lot in Button's inventory and put the stump in it's place. I had to scoot a palm tree just a smidgen also to make room for the stump.
I tried buying the first herbalism book when Buttons arrived at GF from the supply shack but it wasn't there. After she harvested and tasted a few unidentified plants the option to buy was there....yhea!
Are we allowed to buy/read/ other skilling books? Can we build all skills or should we stick to just the gardening/herbalism and charisma skills?
That's it for now.
@BUTTONSGINGER -- welcome! No, you can't use any public sinks but when you are in GF you can use the Trusty Rustic for your shower needs on M, W, F, and you can use the toilet there at any time. You cannot use the toilet or shower or bed at the hermit's house but you can stay in GF as long as you want.
The stink on the bush will eventually go away.
You can mix the magic bean challenge with the Murkland challenge. Water will be tricky -- you can swim, or use the slippery marshes (waterslides) at the Hot Springs or the Raccoon Hideout. Water from the cooler will not help your plantsim nor will water from the hot tub.
You can buy skilled books at the store and so yes you can buy those. You can build up any skills that you want but keep in mind some skills may be part of the second challenge.
@Brennachan Are there restrictions on The Old FEMA Camp? I was going to visit but cannot get in? My guess is it is because the gates at the back are not 'doors'?
Easy fix actually. A door on a single wall can serve as the front door. I have used this trick many times when my Sim lives on a lot without an actual house. Visitors knock on the door first. They will walk around if there are no other walls. Had same/similar problem with the Freegan lot. When I was invited to visit I could walk around inside. When I tried to visit on my own I could not get to anywhere inside. With no door I could not knock to gain entry. I went to build mode in Manage World and placed a wall with a door at the front of the lot.
@EuphorialQueen -- the FEMA camp does have a bathroom door your sim can knock on. It's actually one of the lots that has doors! You can knock on the bathroom door. I had to fix some other lots, but this one works ok as it is.

Hello there! *waves I clicked on the blog account you use to follow my blog, but I'm having trouble seeing anything on your blog site.
All I see is the David Bowie quote. What am I doing wrong? *whispers: Could I be (gasps) one of the undesirables?
@Brennachan
Just being my usual busybody self and listing two more Murkland stories to add to your Links on the this thread's Page 1.
@EuphorialQueen
Valeda looks like such a no-nonsense gal with her short hair and no-frills clothes.
But then she has the most adorable freckles and violet eyes!
I'm glad he--I mean, the hot springs--were so hot and steamy, rofl.
Valeda is so very courageous--visiting PufferDome so early in her Murkland soujourn! My sim and I are such chickens!
Looking forward to learning more about Valeda's adventures in Murkland!
@BUTTONSGINGER
I gazed at your two Reserve posts with eternal longing.
Can't wait to read your story.

Ohhh... Did not think of trying a door 'inside' the fence.
Don't start another aspiration because Challenge 2 will have another one (I can't give it away and it will depend on which challenge you end up playing) but you can save your game after you finish and then do some side games. You could do the library challenge and write books for the library. You could do the Plantsim Challenge in Murkland (it's hard because you have to leave your lot to get watered). You can do a story. You can just play around in Murkland. I will have the Challenges up soon. I am working on them. Just play testing in taking way longer than I thought! Ooops!
Valeda completed the Friend of the World Aspiration just now {{Hoorah}} but is still working on her *cough* lovely *cough* Trash Plant collection. Also completed the PlantSim challenge. What can I do besides work on other skills? Can I switch to the Best Selling Author Aspiration if I get to the library challenge?
@SoulGal7
Oh okay, thank you! I thought maybe it was a Facebook thing. *grins sheepishly
Hey, I absolutely love your latest Freezer Bunny Dance-Off chapter!
I'm so impressed at how much time and thought you put into each chapter!
Love every dance crew and their costumes. I was tickled pink to recognize oshizu in the Doomsday Divas (who, if not for that move by @lisabee2 ) should have won the contest! You even had contest prizes!
How hilarious that Paolo ended up paying off his tab by dishwashing, just like Kate had done when Paolo....
I know I feel so bad about causing the loss for the DDs .. I am never sleepy at the right time and always sleepy at the wrong times
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.
@everyone I hope I got all the new murky folks welcomed (I am more of an FB gal ... get lost in forum easily) Glad to have awesome new neighbors!! I am near finished with my latest murky update being the consummate procrastinator I am hiding from myself in here) .. be back later
