Build Newcrest Challenge: Generation 1: Joseph Simself<\/pre>\n
Day 1 <\/strong>(Household Income: \u00a76,895)<\/em><\/p>\n
Today is my first day in Newcrest. It’s a little nerve wracking, but I’m up for the challenge. There’s a lot to be done and I’ll only be able to do so much in my lifespan. I’ll want to draw people to my part of Newcrest, besides the wandering townsfolk. I decided a community park is the best way. I found a nice spot, which was called Tranquil Crescent.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
I must tell you also that if I am to build Newcrest, I have to live on my land. A land of nothing but grass and dirt. I can visit parts of Newcrest outside my area of building. There’s an outdoors bathroom, some picnic tables with grills, and a small jungle gym play area for kids. Some of this will be essential to me since I have no real home to live in yet, just a tent. I also have a cooler for quick meals and a garbage can to throw away my finished foods.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
I was also made to buy a knightly statue. This was to be used as a pass-me-down to my heir. A legacy reminder type thing. It is never to be sold or removed from the family. It’s an odd thing.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
I finally created a fire pit so I can cook my own food when needed. Grilling everyday won’t be fun.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
To build my community park, I need to become a green thumb. My aspiration is to become a freelance botanist.<\/p>\n
I bought some starter flowers to get myself going. I’m hoping I can find some others around Newcrest I can pluck and replant. But for now, I plant some daisy bushes and a chrysanthemum flower.<\/p>\n
I’m calling myself a Naturewalker.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Tomorrow I start my new job as a media intern and they said I needed to create a social media profile. I need a computer to do that. I thought my slablet would do that, but it’s a no go with it.<\/p>\n
So, I am going to go ahead and create myself a small wooden hut type place just to have a computer at hand.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Once built, I install my computer and get online for a bit to create my profile. So happy there is free wi-fi here in Newcrest. I’ll end up having an electric bill, though.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
It’s not even noon yet on my first day of building Newcrest and I’m already feeling like I want to get out in the city. I guess it’s the loneliness. Perhaps if I take an adventure around my land. Maybe that will brighten things up for me. Let’s go take a stroll.<\/p>\n
I spot a hollow log at the end of this lot. Let’s go check it out.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
I hope nothing in here bites my hand. Digging deep, I find a frog, a hypno frog. I think I’ll name it, Hype.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Let’s take him back to the tent and get him in a tank and let him relax. I hope he likes dark places as Hype is better off in my little hut next to my computer. He’s such a weird looking frog.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Back to strolling! On my walk down the street, I see this woman wearing some kind of animal hat. It looks cute and funny at the same time. I go introduce myself\u00a0to her.<\/p>\n
Her name is Cathy<\/a><\/strong>. Just talking with her for a couple minutes, she was funny. Meeting someone with a good sense of humor right now hit the spot on my loneliness.<\/p>\n
She didn’t have a job, but she was in a club called the Page Turners. It’s all about books and other reading. I think she said her favorite was reading Sim Literature, SimLit for short.<\/p>\n
We talked until around 12:30pm. It was now lunchtime, so myself\u00a0and Cathy<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0exchanged numbers and parted ways.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
I decided to grill on my first day in Newcrest. Take in a bit of the scenery as I eat. I grilled up some hamburgers. They seemed easy enough to grill.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
As I was eating, this redhead sat down right next to me. Startled me for a moment. Then she started to rant and rave about who knows what. All I was getting out of it, was she liked to own things, lots of things.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
But as soon as this other woman grabbed a plate and hamburger and sat across from me, the redhead got up and stormed off. I was kind of grateful, so I introduced myself.<\/p>\n
She said her name was Kyra. She looked pretty young to me and that’s when I found out she was a teenager and goes to Buckingham High. She had a pretty creative mind when talking with her. She also likes to babysit. I wonder if she’ll still like to when I have my own children. She might outgrow that phase by then.<\/p>\n
When lunch was over, it was time for me to continue my wandering. I thanked her for the chat and we exchanged numbers.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Viewing the nice scenery of this part of Newcrest, I ended up finding some flowers I could harvest and replant. These were wild snapdragon flowers. I put them in my pocket in case I find more before heading back to my tent.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
And luckily enough, I did find some more on my adventures. This time I found some wild lily flowers.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
I head back to my lot I am living on and plant the two flowers I found. The others have already started to grow. I watered them all to help the process along.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
I had to use one of the outdoor restrooms after watering these. So I headed to the closest one. When I came back out I saw this pretty looking lady sitting by herself at one of the picnic tables.<\/p>\n
I went over to say hello and she introduced herself as Clare<\/a><\/strong>. I guess she was daydreaming about her crafting. She’s into making high end stuff. Talking to her more, I understood more when she mentioned she was a Scientist.<\/p>\n
We talked until around 6:30ish and then she had to leave.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
The sun is starting to set, so I head back to my lot and light a fire in the fire pit.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
I head into my tent…<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Change into my jammies, and come back out.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
I have the urge to get a little exercising in before dinner. So I do some sit-ups and push-ups. I like to walk and jog instead, so I’ll have to start putting that into my daily routine.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
For dinner, I am going to roast a weenie.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Mmm mmm mmm! I make some mean roasted hot dogs.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Before heading to bed, I get on the computer to update my status and let folks know how my first day went. I’ve started to gain some followers.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
It’s heading onto 10pm, so I need to catch some Z’s. I put out the fire in the fire pit…<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
And head to my tent. I set my alarm on my watch for 7am as I have to be to work at 9am. I climb into my sleeping bag and call it a night.<\/p>\n
See you in the morning!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
