@GlazeyLady Wonderfull strategy.
My note here comes late because I have been on a trip to Minnesota, and forgot my notebook. Then came home earlier this week, sick and jetlagged.
But I do not have much to add. Glazeylady and I did nearly the same.
The collection i did not complete compared to Glazeylady was the snowglobes. I did not know that you could use the fleamarket that way.
And I had 7 cats from the beginning instead of only 3, the first few days we just stayed home and made preparations for the other collections.
The eastereggs I did at home, you can just buy bushes and search them, then delete them afterwords and prepare.
And then my sim was an alien, so that I could revive dead aliens, and transform metals, crystals and elements each 4th hour, so that I could focus on other things.
