I’m not keeping a score card because I like to add my own creativity to a challenge. But I do like to keep some kind of track record, because I’m just a wee bit chaotic and I need something to keep my brains going in a straight line 
Round 1 – Autumn is over and Round 2 – Winter has arrived. But before I start with the summarizing stuff, here are some nice scenic winter pics of Aurora Valley covered in snow!

The last family of this round has arrived! I kind of expected this to be the most boring family. But because I installed ACR during the playtime of this family, things did turn out to be a little more exciting than I thought.
I hope you enjoy the dilemma’s in the life of ambitious single mother Heather Newman and her little boy Austin!
The Newman family
Heather had moved to Aurora Valley to live her life to the fullest. She’s an ambitious young woman and was very excited about working in the entertainment business. Because there was no work for her in the neighborhood, she bought a little pink VW beetle to drive to work every day.

Finally, another update of my prosperity families! The Walker family turned out to be much easier to play than the Campbell family. It was a bit rough at first, but things turned out for the best at the end of this round.
I hope you’ll enjoy the struggles of single father Jack Walker and his kids!
The Walker family
Jack Walker had managed to get his hands on a prime piece of land in Aurora Valley. It was large enough for farming and it already had a little abandoned farm. Jack couldn’t believe his luck, finally his dream of becoming a farmer would come true!

Aaaarg! The Campbell family and my hair both only barely survived round 1. Just like I expected the Campbell family turned out to be the most difficult family to play so far. It’s so hard to earn some simoleans when all you have for the workforce is an elderly lady and a budding teenager after you deduct the costs of a nanny. From here all the other families should be a piece of cake.
Anyway, here are the adventures of Martha Campbell and her grandkids. I hope you enjoy!
The Campbell family
The Campbell family moved into the two trailers opposite to the Jackson family. Martha had hoped for more, but the two trailers were large enough to accommodate her and her grandkids. The kids loved the new surroundings, with so much more room to play than the her small city apartment.

Yay! Another family survived the dreaded first round. It was I close call, but then again I never expected that a single parent household with 3 teens and a toddler would be a piece of cake.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the ups and mostly downs of the Jackson family as much as I did
The Jackson family
Their housing turned out to be a bit of a disappointment. All the Jackson family was able to buy with their last simoleans were two run down trailers in Aurora Valley’s trailer park Pine Paradise. Rochelle immediately showed her disliking of their new home: “Ow flaming Llama doody! First we’re homeless, now we’re trailer trash. Could things get any worse?” Unfortunately for Rochelle, their streak of bad luck was far from over yet.

This prosperity challenge is finally on the road! Every family now has it’s own home in Aurora Valley and I played the first family through round 1. I decided to play each round per season and not per week because to me it feels like a more natural ending of a round. Every family will end their first round on the first day of winter, the second round will end on the first day of spring and so on.
Anyway, here’s the first post of round 1. I hope you’ll enjoy it!
The West family
Being the “first” family in Aurora Valley, both literally as in the honorary title for the mayor’s family, the West family ended up in the most beautiful home of the little village. Unfortunately the quality of homes in Aurora Valley didn’t turn out to be as good as promised. But Michael and Jennifer couldn’t care less, it was a new start and the beautiful scenery surely made up for all their trouble.
