Well, I tried.  Clearly I have a lot to learn.   To be fair, I have world adventures, but didn't go on any vacations as this always freezes, or forgets everything I've done or ... you get the picture. So there would be quite a few upgrades I couldn't access.  However, there must be lots I could access and didn't find ! Ah well.

Here is my score 45 upgrades, 44% unique upgrades, so 45 x .44 =19.8 :-[

Good luck to everyone still going and I look forward to finding out about all those I should have done!

Well, it's an hour til midnight, so I've just made the deadline.

My score:

30 objects x .46 = 13.8

I didn't get but halfway through the weeks I had for the challenge, but even I know that score is pretty sad. :P I'm just wondering how the heck people managed thousands of upgrades. I feel like a slack!
When I'm not Simming, I'm {writing}.

Yeah Odie.  No need to ask on that one as ResetSim is allowed to fix stuck Sims.

Thanks Rica. At first I just wasn't sure if my sim was gonna die of the cold anyway or if she was just stuck, because I never had a sim die of cold or hit by a meteor. Plus, I thought some simmers would have a nice laugh out of it :P

I would keep on playing if I were you Silviak, because the deadline is 2 days later then you think (Sunday evening at midnight)! :)

Edit: Forgot to ask, can I keep the neighbour's grave on the lot to play with after the challenge?
Problem? Don't panic! There is always a solution. You just have to find it  :D

Hey you're not the only one. Rica gave me some cryptic clues but she wisely chose to talk to me using the native tongue of Chewbacca while wearing a lampshade. That prevented me from reading her lips. It just did not sink in.

Yay for my first challenge :)

Bobbette zaBuilder (complete with a yellow construction hat) came in at:
132 upgrades
85% unique upgrades

132*.85=112.2, so a score of 112. I'm just happy I completed the challenge, and I can't wait to actually participate this year.

Well, my challenge came to an anti-climatic conclusion. Poor Challenge Man caught on fire in the middle of an upgrade and I neglected to purchase a shower. Half the neighborhood came over and started freaking out. I think one of them came to put him out, but it was too late.  :-\  Still, I enjoyed my file, and I might as well submit the score I've earned.

Objects Upgraded: 22
% of Unique Upgrades: 40
Total Score: 8

Well, off to Baby Boomer for me! First thing I'm gonna do is buy a shower.  :P

Sorry to hear about the premature ending Audren. :(

As for my own effort...what can I say folks aside from...I am basking in the glow of my own mediocrity.

Stop Hammertime has decided to stop the hammer time and finished with 460 objects upgraded with 94% unique upgrades.

460 X .94 = 432

Time to make some babies!

Hello all this my first post here and my first official entry into a challenge.  I had a fun time doing this tho I found I was easily distracted by all the fun shiny things to do in game.  Here is my score:
                                         #upgrades=420
                                         %unique=    83%
                                          420x.83=348
If i entered incorrectly I'm sorry.  I didn't know if you needed to post your intent to play first or not

Nice Score boss and thank you for putting yourself on the board. ;)

I would doll, but it's only one day for me in Australia, and I've got work all day. Again.

Shoot me now.

Sandy Handy did 97 upgrades, 76% unique.

97 x 0.76 = 73.72

Final score:  73

Definitely not a very good score, but it's the first time I've entered a challenge.  I had lots of fun anyway, and I plan on entering several others this year.  Thanks to all the organizers for a great challenge!  I can't wait to see how people got those great scores!  Hope everyone has fun as they finish the challenge!

Tim Tesla finished in the nick of time! He upgraded 120 objects, 77% unique, for a final score of 92. (He's a bit red-faced even to admit that, given the score list!)

I just got the game for Christmas and have only one expansion, Pets, which I picked up yesterday. I'm eager to find out whether a significantly higher score is possible with what's available to me.

In any case, it was fun. I'm looking forward to the next challenge, although it seems a bit more intimidating as there are (ostensibly, anyway) a lot more variables involved.

I am proud to say I have finished my first challenge (or should I say this is the first challenge I have finished :P) with a respectable score of:
1144 upgrades x 0.94 = 1075

Plus I am very glad I could keep my deal with Shirin :)

Thanks for this fun challenge! My sim Mandy Handy is going to take a long shower and a real vacation ;)
