Chapter 1 - First Things First

Still unsure about how they arrived at this “Water Landing”, to survive Wu Lo and G’Ra Sul discuss their situation while examining their surroundings. There is much to take in! They are overwhelmed by this strange new place filled with many kinds of trees, bushes, tall slick boulders and strange shinny rocks. They agree to take things slow as they test out what could help or harm them. 

Gathering supplies for their survival is their main concern as bellies rumble and fatigue sets in. Some items will require time, while others only some elbow grease. Wu Lo runs off to gather edibles and G’Ra Sul checks out the coast line. Instinctively each seem to know what to do. Like a vague dream Wu Lo is able to distinguish fruits and vegetables from other plants. Not all they pick is safe to eat which they soon learn while running to the nearest bush but not quite making it in time. Embarrassed from soiling themselves, Wu Lo becomes desperately uncomfortable ending all gathering activities for the day.  

Meanwhile G’Ra Sul finds a thin vine and a long branch to rig together a “fishing line” they call it. They stand quietly at the shore line seemingly doing nothing compared to the running back and forth Wu Lo did to find food for them both. G’Ra Sul catches rocks that shimmer and names them crystals, seaweeds they don’t recognize and junk they throw back in. This experience isn’t fun and produces very little reward. 

Just as G’Ra Sul is about to give up, gather water and return to the meeting spot between the large boulders at the fallen tree stump G’Ra catches something. “A minnow” G’Ra yells out! Filled with tears, their memory begins to defog and G’Ra’s skill in the art of Angling Ace slowly return to them. G’Ra can tell there is more that isn’t clear but now they aren’t as scared as they were at the beginning of the day when the idea of being lost without an inkling of who you are loomed over them. 

The next day with greater hope Wu Lo and G’Ra Sul start the day with conversation, grumbling stomachs and a few embarrassing moments as they figure out solving their Bladder and Hygiene needs. 

The Week:

Wu Lo:  - Gathers blackberries, onions, tulips, lemons and finds cherry trees that need time to bear their fruits.  - Spreading out feedings over the week, eventually a surplus builds up. Wu is now able to begin cultivating their own crops.  - Without a dedicated place for trash that accumulates, overtime trash fruits sprout and are added to the daily harvest duties.

Historical Challenge Day 1: Generation 1 - Stone Age

Water Landing, Oasis Springs: Lot set to Off-the-Grid, Bracing Breezes, Natural Light and Private Dwelling so NPCs in Modern Era do not disturb these out of time early era hoo-mans.

(I am saving Convivial and Homey for the 2nd or 3rd Generation when the family is a bit more settled in.  Introducing: Wu Lo & G’Ra Sul, lot mates.

(I would have preferred to have them meet on a community lot and generate a history, but rules are rules!) 

For now, “The Rigmarole Saga of VellahVee” Long ago the baby god VellahVee was playing in the dirt and wind of dust devils when it began to rain. The god Hurricane’s season to be had come around. As Hurricane got to work they saw the baby god VellahVee having fun enjoying the fruits of all the other SimGuruGods. The god Hurricane grew jealous instantly. In their anger Hurricane decided to punish VellahVee for the unimpeded life they were able to live without seasons to rest or work, without limits or preordered duties. Hurricane’s punishment was to wash out the dirt, electrify the air and suck the life force out of VellahVee with their terrible cyclone force.

VellahVee blessed Wu Lo with fruit and flower seeds while G’Ra Sul was blessed with an instinct for handiness. Not knowing what the seeds were for or where the instinct to craft a bed, a tub or body coverings from items found in nature, the two discussed ideas and shared their strange rabbit-hole experiences that landed them in this cavern at this time with each other. 

Will they figure out what seeds do? Can they stomach testing out wild foliage for meals or die of starvation or worse? Will G’Ra be able to stop the bleeding from injuries sustained while builds basic living items from zero skills or tools outside their bare hands. 

I’ll be making content of all kinds to help enhance the gaming experiences from my own world view. With millions of players and thousands of content creators, surly most ideas have been ideated and most challenges have been accepted. Thus the only way to carve a place for myself in this world is to carve a place for myself based on my 1 out of 7 billion unique world view. 

I have help to start. For one I will be creating content my kids both young and grown can enjoy as well as content the community can enjoy from a familiar perspective. 

Thus, my first content will be based on packs, a group of mods geared toward a fully immersed experience following a specific story line, challenge or gameplay feature. 

To Begin, I am starting at the very beginning, The Historical Challenge.  Little did I know I began my reintroduction to The SIMS universe by making up a challenge very similar but I didn’t think to write it down as I was only trying to heal from severe depression during Covid Times. Now knowing there are established challenges and that i can create my own the community might enjoy, my wheels are turning and I am writing it all down to share with you. 

Historical Challenge can be found HERE if you haven’t heard about it (yeah right, who do I think I am talking to). 

Until I have my content ready to share, I will be using the mods of other community members to help me navigate this new limited game play experience without breaking the rules. Play through will help me understand what’s needed and how my world view differs from those who came before me. Diversity and representation is the name of the game folks! Thank You 2020 for helping to bring that concern to life.
