It works for me.

Odd, it didn't for me when I posted that.

Odd, it didn't for me when I posted that.

I double checked the link - put it in twice afterwards but it was the same link.  Do you think maybe you had an old cache copy of it?

[Deklitch]

I am going to try this one tonight ... if I still have time to do it, of course. I haven't read the rules or practiced or anything yet, but I'm game.

[Ricalynn]

You still have weeks, my friend!  The scores aren't due until February.

[DrStrange01]

finally completed it I am so proud of myself after 5 crashes I made it to week 4 day 7 so here is my score
objects upgraded 1026
percent is 89
1026x0.89 is 913.14
now for the baby boomer ummm

[ladyaya]

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

1010 Objects upgraded

Unique upgrades: 89%

1010 x .89 = 898.9 total = 898

Way to go Shannon! I'll actually have time this weekend to get to working on the challenges....my silly little green sim is actually the daughter of Tomas of Hidden Springs, lol

[Odie]

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!

That's good to hear!
Congrats to everybody who finished already! Sorry about the meteor death. It is kind of cool when that happens, only not in a challenge
I am doing much better too. I found out something to get my numbers up, at least a lot better than the first two weeks of my practice game
Good luck finishing everyone!

A strange thing has happened and need some advise on what to do.
My quite handy Sim had just returned from her 3rd holiday in France and I checked the adventure journal.
It says I have visited 3 times - correct, I have.
But it also says, total days spent is 12?
I have not bought any traveller rewards that will let me stay more than the 3 days so I'm a bit confused by this calculation.
I always thought 3x3=9.
The other destinations are fine - one visit each, 3 days.

Has this happened to anyone else before and what do I do in terms of the challenge as I really don't want to not go on my last holiday. I NEED to go one last time!

[Ricalynn]

I'm going to send you a PM.  Any discussion of this problem could be considered strategy so no one reply!

[Vesper]

congrats to everyone who has finished already. Stupid work/ commuting means I'm only halfway through and I'm itching to continue.

Are challenges always this addictive though? This is my first. I worried my partner by leaping out of bed in the middle of the night and sitting at the computer in the dark (my percentage of unique upgrades seemed iffy so I "needed" to check I'd not forgotten a particular upgrade)

[Ricalynn]

Yes they are.   Good luck with the rest of your challenge, there is still plenty of time to complete it.  No need to rush.

[MarianT]

Vesper, they are addictive, and no one who doesn't do them -- possibly even other simmers -- will understand.

[sunshine_2406]

My first ever challenge complete don't think I did too badly.

141 objects upgraded
88% of unique upgrades

141x.88=124.08
Total=124

I look forward to seeing how people got into the thousand mark

You did great.  I think there's going to be two distinct groups in the scoring here and you have a respectable score for the group you fell into.  I'd be very surprised if there are many who get around 500 upgraded; I expect there's going to be the people in the 1000's and the people in the 100's with very few in between.

Thanks I agree with you on that, think there will be a huge range in scores and I can't wait to find out peoples techniques.
