Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous

[Metropolis Man]

Which I guess answers my own question? As long as it doesn't affect the bottom line, it's fair game?

Yes

[MarianT]

My celebrity had Household Funds of $152,669 and a CM of .495 for a total of 75,571.

This was the first time I ever had a 5-star celeb, and it was fun!

Whoops -- I thought Household Funds would include the value of your property as well as cash on hand. My revised score is:

Household Funds - 139,806 x .495 = 69,203.  Sorry.

I'm well into the game (approaching week 3) and my Sim has 4 celebrity stars.  She has been getting the celebrity opportunities, but so far no gifts for being a celebrity.  I don't think I've ever gone this long without getting something.  It's going to take forever at this rate.

[Chuckles_82]

Yes - I can see that this is going to be another one of those challenges (like hobos to heros) that will rely heavily on chance. It might not end up mattering how many celebrities your sim knows if you don't get the right opportunities in time.

[Pam]

Ha!  She just got her first gift!  I should have posted here much sooner, I guess.

MarianT -- good job finishing up. Could you please detail how you computed your CM score? I just wanted to see the number of days it took for you plus the number of celebrities known to double check.

This was fun, but when I tried to compute my score my brain shut down. Please check that I understood correctly.

LTW Completed W3D6 = 27 days

Household funds 100,374

Celebs known 25

27*0,05 = 1,35        1,00 - 1,35 = -0,35

25*0,005 = 0,125      -0,35 + 0,125 = -0,225

-0,225*100 374= -22 584

Your math checks out to me (someone else can verify as well). Seems weird to finish with a negative number, but oh well. Thank you for participating

Week 3 Day 6 is 20 days not 27...

[Shirin]

With it being 20 and not 27 days, the final score I'm computing is 12546.75, so rounding up would be 12547

20*.05=1
1.00-1=0
25*0.005=0.125
0-0.125=0.125
100374*0.125=12546.75

[saltpastillen]

Thanks, for catching that. Counted 3 weeks (21) + 6 days. Now it makes more sense.

I was also confused about the negative number, but figured I was just really unlucky.

So, my new score (thanks to lvrugger & Shirin) is 12,547 

[Turoskel]

Finished but i'd appreciate somebody double checking my maths as it's never been my strong point.

Finished on week 4 day 1 = 22 days

22 x .05 = 1.1

1.0 - 1.1 = -0.1

Celebs known 35

35 x .005 = .175

-0.1 + .175 = .075

Final household funds = 198,735

198735 x .075 = 14905.125

Final score 14905

[Metropolis Man]

Thanks for catching the error in saltpastillen's score...I'll make the edit. Oh, and decimals are always dropped in scores...you do not round up.

[Pam]

I have once again reached a stunning low score, but this is my third challenge of the year and at least I'll get on the World Ranking.  That was my goal!

Household Funds:  $101,300
CM:  -.79
Final Score:  -80,027

It took forever for me to start getting gifts for my Sim.  She did well with the celebrity part, just had to wait for the money.  It was fun, though.  Thanks, Metro. 

[Metropolis Man]

Pam, you're a trooper. Good job...thanks for participating.
