I am not sure how this will affect my number of upgrades available or whether it will change my precentage, and as store content seems to be partially banned, I wanted to know how this affects my game playing.  I don't want to have to uninstall the content, but will if I have to.

Since those are free, I am going to assume it is not banned.  Only those items that requires $$ from simstore that gives us an advantage are banned, correct me if im wrong.

You are correct, Nutella.

Wasn't it the solar panels and/or windmills that played havoc with scores last year? Someone refresh my aging memory.

Yes, it was. And, there's no advantage to having store content to upgrade for this challenge - in fact, if it provides a unique upgrade, it could be a disadvantage, because there are more to do.

Yeah - sometimes you don't get 100% with them installed.  I'm surprised anyone would want them installed for this challenge considering the trouble last time.

I didn't know about the trouble last time.  I wasn't here then.  I went back and researched it.  I am trying to figure it out -- there are more problems than just store content messing up the upgrade count.  I will PM it due to discussing details of strategy in my research so far.

Can we start playing the challenge before January 7? And can we try multiple times before submitting a score?

You can practice all you want.  You cannot have an official game until January 7th.  You can only have one official game.  Once you start a file that is to be official - you cannot start over.

Okay, so we can practice but we have to start the official file after January 7th.

As long as it is January 7th wherever you live you can begin your scoring file.

I have every expansion so I'm interested to see how far I can get in unique upgrades alone... Yikes!! This will definitely be a challenge.

Does our sim need to be human? What life states are allowed?

Unless it is specifically outlined as not allowed in the General Rules or the rule set for the specific challenge any life state is allowed.  If you look at the long challenge it has specified that the female sim can only be of certain life states.

Hope this isn't discussing strategy...[IMO it was ;) — Metro]

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