	General comments: 

The "Right or Wrong" project, initiated by Sims Science of Simmerville, is ongoing March-June, 2005.

We like to find out how a Sim's everyday choices will affect the Sim's life length. Therefore we ask you to guide one particular Sim trough a lifetime, doing either all the right things or the wrong things.

General
The project can be run in any TS2 hood, there is no need to sign up.

This project begins with the birth of the main person, Claira Flemming. The birth was quite dramatic because Claira's mom was cooking when the birth started. Claira's dad who was asleep upstairs, saved them from a fire by removing the overheated food from the stove. Claira's mom wasn't quite ready for a baby, mentally, so she had a breakdown. Claira got her name after her two grannies that you will find in her family tree. 

The project closes when Claira Flemming dies of old age. What happens in between is pretty much up to the local project, but there are a few directions below.

It is important that most basic things are the same in all versions of the project, otherwise we could not compare the results.
You are not allowed to adjust the house structures, but you can replace any furniture, wallpapers and flooring.
You are not allowed to adjust trees and flowers, but you can replace dead flowers.
Claira's aspiration meter should be kept in the green, this is particularly important for her birthdays. On some occasions she will naturally see the red, and you should then help her to get back to the green. If she gets gold or platinum you could help tracking her down a bit or just let time work for you.
Do only save the project when Claira's aspiration is green. This is important in case she is in red, gold or platinum on her birthday and you need a recent backup.

Get started
All you will need is to read these instructions and to download the project pack from thesims2.com (lot exchange). Look for the "Simmerville hood" profile. If the house gets no votes it will be available for a limited time, only. Make sure to grab it as soon as possible even if you don't plan to run the project quite yet.

Before you start the project, you must decide whether Claira Flemming should do all the right stuff or all the wrong stuff. She can have a good life either way, her aspiration and needs can be more or less met no matter right or wrong. It is the small everyday things that we ask you to pay attention to - not the extremes. A Sim who does most things right will study cooking and eat a varity of food, while the Sim doing most things wrong will not study cooking and will therefore eat food that doesn't require skills. Other things you can focus on is activity, housekeeping and social interactions. See the lists below, but keep in mind that you won't need to complete all of them. They are meant as guidelines, and it won't do any harm if some of them fail, as long as you manage to keep Claira on that side(right or wrong) in general.

Reporting
You must report your results when your local version of the project has closed. You must use this document, fill in the section you choose (right or wrong). Send in the entire RTF file as your report. Remember to fill in the general information (top of document).

Your report must be sent in after your Claira Flemming is dead, and no later than June 30th 2005.

You can run the project twice if you like to try both versions. If so you can send both reports in one document.

Will living the RIGHT way make a longer life than living the WRONG way? We will find out!
