The Life State Race

[Metropolis Man]

What's the difference between a blue ghost pet and a re ghost pet? (I've seen both colors)

Take a look at the Pets guide in the link in the ruleset. It has to do with happiness points accumulated.

[Audren]

Oh, okay. It's kind of like the difference in grave size, but for pets. Thanks.

I've never done a challenge before, but I just got Showtime and this one looks like it could be really fun, so I'm going to give it a go

[ratchie]

Finished this was a lot of fun.

Total town days 10 vacation days 4 equals a total of 14 days.

Now that's an intimidating score. Wow!

[Metropolis Man]

Nice, Rachel! You knocked this one out quickly.

[ratchie]

Hubby is off work so I have had lots of me time today and me time means Sim time.

I have a question about lifespan.  In the tournament rules, it says: Sim Lifespan = Long (leave plumbob sliders at default far right setting).

My plumbob sliders are not at far right setting, but here are my readings:
Sim - 192 sim days
Dog - 99 sim days
Cat - 111 sim days
Horse - 121 sim days

Are the numbers the same with everyone else?  If I move the plumbob sliders to the far right, my sim lifespan would be 384 sim days instead of 192 sim days.

I want to get the lifespan stuff correct before I start this challenge.

No, that does not sound right at all. By default, I mean the normal setting it would be with no adjustment. Come to think of it, isn't that just in the middle? Hmmmm...not sure why I even say far right.

[Nutella]

ok so Im good, the sliders are kinda in the middle.  Not sure why you say far right either

[ratchie]

I play all the challenges on long setting as per the instructions normal is in the middle,long is one click to the right and epic is far right. 192 sim days sounds about right for long setting.

Rachel-
Thanks for the confirmation.  It was the wording "plumbob sliders far right" that got me confused   And I see you found the simple yet genius trick to this challenge!  nice score!

[RainBeau]

Wow Rachel, intimidating score! I guess I need to step up my game.

You must have some awesome luck to get a blue ghost pet in just 4 days Ratchie! Well done!!

EDIT: I think I just worked out how you must have done it

EDIT: Just realised that I read it wrong - I was wondering how on earth it was possible to have only 4 town days. It's certainly made me stretch myself though!
