"No Money & a Baby" Challenge\Story!

Heyyy everyone! This is a SimsStory/Challenge story. "The No Money & a Baby Challenge" a challenge which I wrote :) 

I wrote it a while ago, but never ended up playing it (oops) but I am now, and turning it into a Sims Story, so here it is! If it seems kind of weirdly-written it's because I typed it out on my phone as I was actually playing, so sorry if I use a mix of past and present-tense or other odd things. I'm also including the story part from the challenge, it turns into my personal game/story once they arrive in Willow Creek.

~~~~ No Money & a Baby #1 ~~~~ 

Meet Kacie Lawns (Traits: Geek, Cheerful, Family-Oriented, Loves Outdoors & Creative)



And her loving husband, Justin Lawns (Traits: Family-Oriented, Loves Outdoors, Creative, Self-Assured & Romantic)


*prologue*

Long ago in Sunset Valley, lived a young girl named Kacie Debois. She was more or less happy throughout her life, though she never got along with her somewhat snooty mother. When Kacie was in her teenage years, she fell in love with the handsome and mysterious boy from down the street; Justin Lawns. Justin was your classic bad-boy, leather jacket, black hair, tattoos, bottle of spray paint in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Kacie saw him for his true self though; she saw the good heart inside him, she admired his strong will and creativity. It didn't take long for Kacie to fall head over heals for Justin, and Justin was falling pretty hard, too. Needless to say, Kacie's mother did not approve of this romance; which just made their mother-daughter relationship worse. 

Kacie thought about running away numerous times, but before she knew it, she was a young adult, and she was finally free! After a fight with her mother on her 18th birthday, Kacie and Justin eloped, and headed for their new life, in the distant town of Willow Creek.  

*New Beginnings* (my own game/challenge)

Kacie & Justin finally arrived in Willow Creek at around 8AM in the morning. They found a nice patch of empty lawn near the river for them to settle on.

With 750$, they bought the cheapest tent and the cheapest cooler, leaving them with 185$ ... Not even enough for a toilet or a fire pit :(


Soo.... I had Justin grab his magical fishing rod (that all sims apparently carry around indefinitely) and head to the river behind their lot to do some fishing, while Kacie scavenged the neighbourhood for some sellable finds.

Justin quickly catches a 7$ perch ... Yay! And Kacie finds what looks to be a treasure map! The guy at the pawnshop says he'll give her 80$ for it, but Kacie thinks the treasure could be worth more than 80 bucks, do she decided to go treasure-hunting. 

Kacie finds another dig-spot, near the area indicated on her map. Kacie finds a strange metal capsule, and hastily scrambles to unlatch the dirt-covered latch. She finds a strange doll that is apparently worth 5$ less than the map :( oh well, it's still an extra 75$ Kacie keeps looking for other sellable collectables while Justin continues to fish. Kacie finds and harvests a wild Bluebell flower and gets $30 for selling the produce, and she acquires the gardening skill which could be useful later. As Kacie walks down the river, she finds a striped Dirt frog, which sells for $30, meanwhile Justin gives up on his fishing spot with a total profit of $7
Kacie continues along the river, and finds another frog; this time she finds a Surfer Leaf Frog, and sells him for $10.

After her last find (some metal she dug up an sold for $15) Kacie returns home. They now have $352 dollars, At least enough to get a toilet. (Though unfortunately not enough to also buy walls to house the toilet) To get some relief from their money-woes, Kacie and Justin decide to get frisky and have some fun breaking in their new tent!! 

The next morning, Kacie realizes that she is pregnant!!!!! Part of her is happy, while the other is freaking out! They don't have a house! They couldn't even afford a toilet until last night!!! How are they going to afford a baby?! Kacie has always wanted a baby, but not now!! 

After a breakfast of granola, Justin & Kacie head to the library to get their minds off of the stressful news. Kacie decides to practice her writing skills. She's always loved reading, and she always has good ideas so maybe she will be good at writing! And Justin decides to give painting a try. He used to sketch and spray-paint as a teen, but he's never used "real" paint before. Not since he was a kid, anyway. Hopefully he's good, because after the cost of his canvas, they're down to 12$! Thankfully Justin manages to sell his first painting for 110$ .. A 35$ profit! Justin invests 100 for another canvas while Kacie continues to practice her writing. They also meet Raiden Daily and Harrison Unger at the library. They both agree that they're going to need some friends in this town. 

After Kacie gets to level 3 writing skill, she begins her first novel -a kid's book called "The Purple Alien" but is struck with Writer's block shortly after. Justin sells his second painting for 166$! 

They return home from the library to eat, and then Justin decides to try his luck fishing again. Kacie searches the neighbourhood looking for plants, deciding that she will start a garden and sell the produce to earn money. On her outing, Kacie also finds more metal and frogs to sell. She also succeeds in finding wild apples, potatoes, strawberries, mushrooms, Blue Bells, Snap Dragons, and Chrysanthemums. She keeps 1 of each type of plant she found for her garden and sells the rest. By the end of the night, Justin and Kacie have brought their funds up to 730$


By morning, Kacie is in her 2nd Trimester, and both of them are suffering in the hygiene department, and Kacie is looking pretty grimy. So, they head down to the gym to borrow the showers, before going back to the library for more writing and painting. Thankfully both Kacie and Justin's showers were thoughtful enough to get them inspired. 

By the time they come home, Kacie has finished and published her first novel, and Justin has sold 2 more paintings. They've now got 904$, some of which they spend to build a walls, a door and a sink to go with their toilet. Thanks to fishing and collecting, they soon save enough to also buy a Firepit!


Kacie is already in her 3rd trimester, and her and Justin are struggling to get enough to build a room for the baby before Kacie goes into labour. Justin hits the river for some fishing while Kacie goes hunting for collectables. As soon as they have enough, Justin buys his own easel and gets to work painting, while Kacie tends to her garden and sells collectables, fighting to earn enough money for a room for the baby in time. 


It's already the next morning, and Justin and Kacie have managed enough to build walls and a door for the baby, but it takes a few more paintings for Justin to sell to decorate it. They build it just in time.


At 9:31 AM, Kacie goes into labour, and Justin goes into a pre-parental panic!!!! THE BABY IS COMING!!!!!!!Kacie tries to stay comfortable while they wait for their new family member to arrive! Excitement and anxiety flood through both of the parents-to-be. Justin reassures Kacie with a kiss, that everything will be fine. 



At 12:31 PM, the baby is born! It's a girl!!!!! Welcome to the world, Rachel Lawns! 

It's a boy!!!!!! TWINS?!?!?! Oh god. .... Uhm welcome to the world, Rylan Lawns! 

OH MY F****** GOD HOLY F****** S***, !@#$%$#&$@#!!#@**%$# !!!!! ANOTHER GIRL!!!! KACIE JUST HAD TRIPLETS!!!!! THREE DAMN BABIES! HOLY S***! 

Okay, *Deep breath* I'm done. I'm okay. I can do this. Welcome to the world, Reece Lawns! 

Rachel, Rylan and Reece. Triplets. Oh. My. God. Well, at least we got a "Triple Play" achievement .-. 

Kacie is hungry and exhausted, and has to pee, so after some yogurt and a trip to the bathroom, she heads to the tent for some rest, and the triplets fall fast asleep, too. (D'awwwh!)
