World Handyman Championships II

[Metropolis Man]

I'm assuming my post was strategy as well (as it was deleted). Sorry!

Correct.

[Vesper]

Ah man! I thought I had a decent strategy but now I can guess just how far behind I'm going to be

Still looking forward to starting tomorrow though (it's just turned Sunday here)

I'd love to participate, but it seems impossible to set the age span to long.
The game is set on normal and I can see sliders.
The options normal, long, epic do not show. And the sliders do not work.
Did I overlook something?

[Turoskel]

Have you loaded a town first? you cannot alter aging sliders till you start a new game or load a save. Then once you have changed them the settings will get saved in your options file for next time.

Thank you very much, Turoskel! That solved it.

In the meantime, I've noticed another problem.
Three types of upgrade do not register. If they did, I'd have a 100% different types of upgrades. I suppose, I can still participate, but it does spoil the fun.

The reason for that may not be what you think it is.  Any discussion on this might be considered strategy though.

I have been working hard on this all day and the little upgrade jingle is going to haunt me.

Rachel - Redoing your math it's 1375 x .94 = 1292.50

[ratchie]

Whoops forgot it was 0.94 rather then just 94 my bad. Thanks for getting that Rica.Can you imagine what I will be like after twelve weeks of baby boomer.

[Ricalynn]

Probably like me - no sound on.   I'm almost done my challenge too.  Go Go speed 3!

[Metropolis Man]

1375 upgrades!? Sheesh. Am I going to have to waterboard my own assistant to find out her secret? 

[Ricalynn]

While you're busy with her....

Mandy Han has requested she never see another screwdriver or wrench ever again.  She's off to find a good looking Sim in the Sim Bin to have babies with.


1862 completed upgrades
94% Unique upgrades completed

1862 x .94 = 1750.28

Final Score:  1750

[Odie]

Wow! Congratulations to the both of you!
Challenges are just no fun anymore with you guys around...
1862 upgrades in 4 weeks is an average of about 66 each sim day! And I was aiming for the score in the example
And you did that in what, 1 or 1 1/2 day? Do you play sims 24/7?
I seriously wish I didn't check this page before playing...

[Metropolis Man]

Well done, Rica. Hey, Odie for what it's worth...those two ladies obviously figured something out that I have no clue about either. Hahahaha. I'll probably be right with you.

[ratchie]

It is because the boss man is a hard task master and Rica and I put in quite a few weeks of testing.
