Introduction to the Challenge

Summer Round 1 Rotations!
Meet the Royal Family!
Meet our first sims in rotation within the custom hood Praaven! King Barthalomew and Queen Esmour are ready to rule the city as they see fit. But first they'll need some horses!
The Vampire Noble
Octavian is a lone vampire in a world where magic witnessed in the city of Praaven is a death sentence. He and his trusty horse Treasure explore the world to visit the local graveyards all while trying to keep his true nature hidden. What mysteries will they find?
The Goth Family (Yes those ones!) (Noble)
Here are some familiar faces for our Royal Kingdom Challenge in Sims 3: The Goth Family! Meet Mortimer and Bella in this medieval universe in Praaven. Bella spends her days craving attention, while Mortimer enjoys the adventure of relic hunting. Will he be able to find a keystone to explore the Hall of the North?
The Giffords
Thomas and Lucy Gifford are betrothed to be wed. The problem is, Thomas has a lover who also happens to be a fairy. Will he be able to hide this from Lucy? Perhaps their nectar making business will keep her distracted enough to not find out..
Don Lothario (Merchant)
Meet Praaven's latest resident: the one and only Don Lothario! Don and his horse Sullivan spend their days working as the blacksmith, repairing chamber pots around town, and talking up the ladies.
The Pleasants (Merchant)
Meet the Pleasant family! Yes the same ones you know and love from Sims 2. Daniel and Mary Sue live in a lovely high rise in the Castle Hill Quarter of Praaven with Mary Sue's parents Coral and Herb Oldie. Daniel's up to his usual ways sneaking around with Nina Caliente. Will he be able to keep this affair secret from Mary Sue?
The Burb Family (Merchant)
The Burb family has made their way into Sims 3! John and Jennifer Burb live just outside the city of Praaven in a small farmhouse. They thoroughly enjoy their small little family with 2 pups and their horse Cleo. John has plans to expand, and not only with the size of their garden!
Bachelor/Caliente (Merchant)
This round involves the local Merchant family the Bachelors! It includes the lovely Dina and Nina Caliente, as well as Michael Bachelor. Michael spends time upgrading wardrobes and styles around town, while Dina works on helping the business in other ways through her painting. On the other hand, Nina just wants to make sure Morris ages up ok. Just when everything seems to be looking up, tragedy strikes the family..
The Brokes (Peasant)
Say hello to the Broke family! In this medieval universe, Brandi and Skip live as peasants trying to make ends meet. As the local criminal, Skip works hard at causing a ruckus, shaking down innocent bystanders, and overall being a nuisance toward the upper classes.
Kaylynn Langerak (Peasant)
Kaylynn Langerak, obsessed with her Noble lover, cannot see passed her rose colored glasses to realize the reality of their relationship. This is now a problem because he's left her with not one, but multiple children to figure out how to raise on her own.
Dreamers (Peasant)
Darren and Darleen Dreamer are peasants of Praaven, trying to make a living through the creation of music. They've formed their own band, Critical Miss, and have set eyes on the local taverns and parks around town to play for tips at. With Darleen interested in having a large family some day, how long can this vagabond lifestyle last?
Clarice Heron (Peasant)
Welcome back to Praaven! This round we spend our time with Clarice Heron, the one and only witch in town. She enjoys spending time with her cat familiar, her werewolf boyfriend, and finding lost tombs she's maybe a little too much of a coward to explore..
Arnald Mauntell (Peasant)
Arnald Mauntell is not just a werewolf, he's a burglar! Watch as we test out a new mod from MTS that allows us to break into unsuspecting houses around Praaven. Will Arnald ever get busted for his crimes?
Zephyr Willowcliff (Peasant)
Local fairy Zephyr Willowcliff has not made herself many friends around town. This wouldn't normally be an issue save for the fact that magic is punishable by death if performed within the city of Praaven! Will she find ways to maneuver around town without getting caught or having her list of enemies turn her in? Will local authorities be too distracted by rumors of multiple kidnappings to notice Praaven's one and only fairy?

We're on to the Fall round for the Royal Kingdom Challenge! For organizational purposes, I will put separate rounds in their own comment sections.

Royal Family!
With criminals on the loose in Praaven, King Bartholomew rallies the local lords to begin a search for the wrong doers. Will they find the kidnapped sims?
Octavian Warde (Nobility)
When you are a vampire living within the city of Praaven, you get a little antsy. Current ruling states that all magic performed within the city will result in swift execution. Octavian's solution is to mind control those within the city walls in order to keep himself safe. How long can this possibly work before someone catches on to what he's doing?
The Goths! (Nobles)
With their only son and heir in the grasp of kidnappers, Mortimer sets out to rescue Alexander. Bella focuses on the return party and how grand it will be!
The Giffords (Nobility)
The Giffords prepare their Nectar business for the upcoming Winter by stocking up as much as possible before the chill sets in. Thomas also meets with Arnald Mauntell, local criminal, to collect his cut from recent crimes. Our random occurrence scenario has a dark surprise for us this round!
Don Lothario and Nina Caliente (Merchants)
Nina Caliente takes the next step in her relationship with Don Lothario by combining their households. There's only one problem. They hate each other! With two toddlers to care for, can Don and Nina find an olive branch?
Pleasant/Oldie (Merchants)
Herb Oldie steps outside his comfort zone to save Daniel Pleasant from his kidnappers. Daniel's reunion with Mary Sue is short lived however with the last ROS roll looming over their heads.
Burbs (Merchants)
The Burbs enjoy a quiet life surrounded by their animals and their children. John hopes to grow the family even more, and Jennifer's more than willing!
Brokes (Peasants)
The Broke family start us off with our next Worldwide ROS! Brandi enjoys expanding the family at every moment, while Skip finds ways to pay for such a large family.
Kaylynn Langerak (Peasant)
Not only is Kaylynn Langerak a single mom of quads, she also has caught the plague from one of our random occurrence scenarios! Can she keep up with the kids, the housework, and finding someone to take on 4 children, all while feeling the worst she ever has?
The Dreamer Family (Peasants)
The Dreamers don't have a lot of money. In fact they have none at all. That doesn't stop them from having 5 children though! Who needs a crib for your children when there's a perfectly capable floor to set them on?
Clarice Heron the Witch (Peasant)
Praaven's one and only witch brews and sells potions all without the royals discovering what she's up to. Can she keep under the radar with a werewolf partner who only distracts her?
Arnald Mauntell the Werewolf (Peasant)
Arnald Mauntell was thrust into the life of a single parent without any sort of time to consider exactly what that means. He's going to figure this out the only way he knows how - thievery.
