The Email Challenge...Because Those Other Challenges Are Boring And For Wusses!

[J. M. Pescado]

I thought "There's Weather In My House!" only occurs when you actually put them "inside" by old TS2 standards. If you leave them on the lawn, they shouldn't say that because there's no house.

Hmmmm. Still trying to think about this, because having a roof seems kind of cheaty for emailers.

And hey, Pescado 10000 posts! Wow!

I started the challenge in winter, and am having them live in a facility I built with the foundation tool. It doesn't have to be an actual roof above their head- you can use a platform instead, and it's quite cheap.

However, with all the time they spent warming themselves by the stove, I didn't have much time left for skilling. I've decided to add to the flavor of the challenge by having them completely live off the land now, with fishing and gardening. We'll see how well that works when the garden is dormant and the pond freezes over.

Building a wall with the foundation tool is still a wall. No walls. No toilets.

It's not a wall, it's a floor raised up on pillars.

Update: here's the first chapter of my email challenge story. I failed the challenge when the spawn became a child, but perhaps it will entertain. I screwed up and upped it in blog mode, but you can switch the view.

As suggested, the challenge was begun in winter.
