That's a great attitude, Turoskel. I am still totally in the dark on whatever trick Rica and Ratchel discovered and I doubt I will discover it given how deep I am into Rift and Diablo 3. Lol. Not sure if I will practice for this one or just wing it like I did last year. But I have my fingers crossed for the light bulb going off. :) Baby Boomer on the other hand I think I will do quite well in *he says trying to act confident*

Definitely don't let low scores be an issue.. the fun is in the play.  I did all but one of last years challenges and got horrid scores most of the time.. and I had a BLAST playing!  Learned alot of new things too...  and apparently I will get plenty of low scores this year too, LOL!

Objects Upgraded - 58       Percent of Unique Upgrades - 83%

Final Score  -  48   ... better than last years Handyman score!!   ;D

OMG I'm super upset right now.  My sister (MomofMany) is laughing hysterically at me. I had a great strategy (which I'll have to tell you all about later) but my official game was cut short cause I killed my sim.

To make a long story short I was tinkering away at my object when the sky fell dark.  I thought that was weird and I heard the weird music.  All the sims on my lot are looking up at the sky and pointing.  I thought, what is it an alien?  I didn't think anything of it and didn't make her run.  Next thing I know a huge Meteor hits my sim. The first time I've ever seen this happen.........YEP I killed her my handiness guru is dead. 

I got to Week 2 Day 5 with 312 objects upgraded and 60% unique.

Orchid Metallic   312x.60=  187

:( I was actually going to try out the tournament, and even had some practice files going...but now I'm too intimidated to try for fear of a wimpy laughable score. :-\

Don't worry you'll do better then I did.  Just make sure not to kill your sim!  Plus even if you are at the bottom you won't be alone.  I'm there now.

Well, my practice file is going fine, I just hope my luck holds out into the official file.

I've a deal with Odie, so even if I score an amazing 2, I will post it! ;D

That's too bad.  I've been there before though.  That's why I always pay attention to the little things up in the corner.  I've had way too many meteors come after my poor Simmies.

You know the funny thing is .. 187 is the police code for murder/death/kill.   ;D

Haha! Made my day! Thanks for the laugh! Now to beat your score! That is what sisters are for, right?  ;D

First year at these challenges though i have read them a bit last year. I did better than i thought i would considering i usually don't touch handiness except to auto clean stuff. :)

Objects upgraded - 50
Unique upgrades - 69%

Final total - 34.5


Now to work on baby boomer and hope i do better raising kids than i do swinging a spanner. :)

Well Colby Brooks was very handy in this one, but I could have done better.

And with that, my sim drove her screwdriver through her head.   :o

1559 * .91 = 1418

I managed to break the 90% barrier...
