The Beginning

Hello, my name is Joe Hardy.
This is my own observations of my time that I have spent here in this institution , Happy Acres.
My dream was to open up my own home to help out my community.
With a little financial assistance I was able to continue my education and finish medical school.
I am a former patient myself and with the guidance of my physician I was able to reach a full recovery.
To be honest I do have an occasional set back but it is fully manageable with help from my therapist, Dr.Viktor Krebbles. I don't think this will interfer with the rehabilitation of my patients who will be arriving very shortly.


Now , my next goal is to find a suitable facility for me and my patients. I would like to find a home to make them feel more comfortable. And I a looking for modestly priced home. But, mostly I wanted to extend my gratitude to my community by opening up a group home for patients that have similar symptoms such as mine. So, with what little cash I managed to save plus some financial assistance from my local town. I was awarded a grant to renovate this home . I searched the local newspaper and found this home listed for a fairly good price. It needs a little fixing up but hopefully my meager income will be enough to get by for now.


As humble and desolate it appears , I think I can make this a comforting home for my patients.
The plumbing is in need of repair not to mention the furnishings are all donations from our local second hand store. But , I think we will manage.
I know it will be a challenge and some sacrifices will be necessary but I think I can be a huge comfort for these lost souls.

Welcome to Happy Acres

Welcome to my own version of the Asylum Challenge. If you are not familiar with it I will give you a "brief " description of what is involved for this type of challenge.
**Copied and pasted from ScoutSims.**

You have been committed to a run down mental health facility against your will. In order to prove that you are fit to rejoin society and earn your freedom, you must achieve the goal your psychiatrist has set for you – your lifetime want.

The catch? You need to achieve your goal as quickly as possible, while keeping 7 other patients, who you don't know and are out of your control, alive and as happy as possible. Add to that budget cutbacks leading to lack of decent furniture and limited supplies, and you task gets harder.

Remember you can never control the 7 other sims. You can't even look at any of their information after creating them. You can not know their ltw, their current wants and fears, or the status of their motives. In other words, once on the lot, never click on their pic. Also you may not ask them any questions or on a date, take them off the lot or get them jobs. They are heavily medicated patients and unlike you, they don't have day passes.

This is the original link if you want to look at all the details or if you want to create one for yourself.
