Setting the Stage for Maximum Moodlets

Setting the Stage for Maximum Moodlets

Okay, I confess...I am not being very creative with this one since it’s basically a carbon copy of the 2010 Tournament season finale. But, it was creative then! Seriously, it’s a really different and fun kind of event and there has not been any event since that has focused on moodlets — they’re kind of a unique aspect to gameplay and there are a whole bunch of new moodlets in the last 2 years, so it will be interesting to see how players stack up to NancyJ’s performance in the old event.

Goal
7 different Sims each represent a snapshot of +mood for the 7 different life stages. Your research and planning will help you “set the stage” to achieve the highest total +mood possible.

General Challenge Rules
The General Challenge Rules always apply. If applicable, exceptions will be noted below.

Specific Challenge Rules

• Create 2 Sims to start—their starting life stage is your choice.
• You will eventually need to have 7 different household members supply the scores for the 7 different stages of a Sim’s life. ALL household members must supply a score (no passing over anyone), so that means no pets.
• Over-Emotional is banned.
• You are allowed 7 total days vacation. Each Sim on vacation counts as 1 day against your allotment.
• If the town you want to play in does not have an empty lot to build a home, then you are free to use Edit Town to make that happen.
• Please DO NOT ask for any clarifications if your question hints at strategy. You can always PM me.
• This challenge ends after playing your household for 12 weeks (Week 12, Day 7, 11:59 PM).

Scoring
Scoring is based on total moodlet value of a Sim (remember to subtract negative moodlets too) at a specific snapshot in a life stage. All household members must supply one stage score, but no more than that. So, for example, let’s say you choose your firstborn (or first adopted Sim) Sim to supply the Teen score. That same Sim could not also supply the Young Adult score. The Young Adult score would need to come from a different Sim.

Multiple snapshots of a given Sim for a particular life stage is fine. It’s not a “one chance only” type of thing—if one Sim has a Young Adult score of 200 and the same Sim in the same life stage later has a moodlet total of 225, then obviously take the best score.

Also, you only count moodlets unique to each Sim. So, if 3 of your Sims all had “Having a Blast” moodlets at the time of their snapshots, you would make a choice as to which Sim gets that moodlet. You would not be able to add "Having a Blast" to the total for 2 of the Sims. As long as a moodlet has a different name, then that qualifies for it to be scored (i.e. Good Meal and Great Meal are different moodlets).

Post your results in this thread and I’ll update the table, but do not mention moodlets. Just total up the qualifying different moodlets for each life stage.

I'll post the Pets rule set later today too.

I added to the following rule to clarify someone's question that they PM'd me —

• You will eventually need to have 7 different household members supply the scores for the 7 different stages of a Sim’s life. ALL household members must supply a score (no passing over anyone), so that means no pets.

"If the town you want to play in does not have an empty lot to build a home, then you are free to use Edit Town to make that happen."

Does this mean that your 2 Sims cannot move into a pre-made home?

No, not at all -- your choice...empty lot to build or pre-made home is fine.

So once a + Moodlet is used (counted) it is essentially out of play to be counted for the any of the other sims in the household snapshots?

Right. You could have 2 different Sims both "having a blast" when their snapshots are taken, but you could only count one since they have the same name.

Got it, Thank You

I utterly stink at time management, LOL

 Baby- +20  , Toddler- +80 ,  Child- +120,  Teen- +115,  Young Adult- +195,  Adult- +435 , Elder- +180    Total-  +1145

Are we able to move sims out of the house once we have achieved their desired moodlet score?

There's nothing in the rules preventing you from doing that. BUT...if you move someone out and replace them, then the replacement also has to provide a stage score. You can't pass over any household member for scoring.

I should have done more planning, but here is what I got:   

 Baby- +75  , Toddler- +50 ,  Child- +140,  Teen- +295,  Young Adult- +272,  Adult- +420 , Elder- +260    Total-  +1512

Wow, drift...  You continue to hit them out of the park, but why am I not surprised? Lol. That baby score is crazy good.

Thanks! It's still possible to score higher ; I planned for more, but the execution of this one is... tough.
