I'm not sure if I'll finish on time so can I just submit the score that I have reached right now.

Yikes...my bad.  :P

I finished!  After a little more practice, it went much better than I had expected.

1183 upgrades, 94% unique

1183 x .94 = 1112

Wayland Smith upgraded 121 objects with 89% of the unique upgrades.

121 x 0.89 = 107

I did my file in about 8 playtime hours.   I spent most of it using the speed 3 button.  If you have that much you could possibly play and listen to the upgrade jingle then you should definitely try it!

I finished! Yay! This is one where I knew the strategy but don't know how the percentage was accomplished! I know of 4 that I didn't get but not sure if that is all I missed! Anyways I am quite pleased with my score on this one! I had 1310 upgrades and 86% unique for a total of 1126! Now to get on to the babies!   :D

If I can, I will, Metro! I've got work for a bit longer, then in-laws. Hopefully that doesn't take too long.  ::)

I don't really want to do anything but veg and play sims anyways after.

Oh my oh my, rushing to the finish line some weird (and in a way hilarious) things have happened in my game.
Some of you already know this through in game chatting.

My sim was upgrading something outside, when she was getting it really cold. I told her to put on her coat, but didn't cancel her current action soon enough, so she froze and she dropped to the floor to just lie there, alone. A moodlet said it would last for 3 hours, but it took much longer than that and her need bars were dropping. Then out of the blue a neighbour she has never met comes on her lot. So I click on the neighbour and ask to defreeze her. Meanwhile the neighbour looks up to the sky, terrified. That's why the neighbour came, of course. My Sim (Mandy Handy by the way) got a message that it was getting dark suddenly. I saw a shadow hanging over her so I though maybe it is an alien friend that comes to save her.
But, no, that was a gigantic meteor that fell on her head! Big shocker for me! (what a game :o)
Anyway, wonderful handy Mandy Handy dead, neighbour dead and lot on fire. Great game. Especially when playing my first challenge I really wanted to finish ;)
Death came along and happily took the flower from her inventory and revived her. Pfieuw, I thought.

But now comes the problem. My sim is still lying on the floor. Not at all frozen anymore and I could change her into her coat, while lying there.
What can I do? Is this normal or is this a bug? If so, can I try resetsim? Don't want to do something against the rules, therefore I ask first.
Hope to hear soon, since the clock is ticking for me...

Anyhow, I can honestly say I am having the time of my life with this challenge ;D

Edit: Ok, this is getting really weird. Since she could change clothes while lying there, I tried to call a sim. And she could! Carl is coming ;)
The dead neighbour is Drezebell De D'Onlyn btw.

Edit 2: She can do all things she normally can do without needing to move. Talking, eating an apple, etc. She just won't move. I feel a resetsim is needed. Please let me know if you (Metro, Rica, Ratchie) agree. I'll save the game and wait for your answer before continuing.

Edit 3:
I just wanted to add these pictures so you'll understand what I mean:





Oh, and that puddle is not from thawing, but from her peeing herself lol!
Problem? Don't panic! There is always a solution. You just have to find it  :D

Oh no Odie, that's horrible! *giggle* I'm glad you had a deathflower! Every time I went to pick one it was never blooming so I got lucky by never dying. I hope you're allowed to reset your version of Mandy Handy, and I approve of her name - that's what I called my sim in last year's challenge.  :D

I guess I don't have the patience to play this one all the way through.  I was quite a bit distracted by all of the new content in the last two expansions which I recently loaded.  Anyways, Ceci Hammer upgraded 100 objects with 89% unique upgrades.

     100 *  0.89 = 89

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