Metro's Haven—Yes You Can!

[Makenziegma]

I had to finish this challenge fairly quickly because my granddaughter McKenzie (I thought it was going to be MaKenzie) is going to be born tomorrow. Her mom goes into the hospital to be induced in 8 hours and I'm planning on being there. I'm hoping to complete Rica's later. I decided to do this one first because of the earlier deadline. Yes I am a devoted Sims fan. I also learned after my first challenge how important having all the expansion packs are. I thought my first challenge was good....but not as good as I thought. I am hoping this is better.... with the addition of 2 very important expansion packs.

My two sims and their pet (X, Y, and Z Alpha) completed 26 skills. All complete with no skills only partially completed. They also completed a combined 42 skill challenges.

42 X .05 = 2.1    26,000 X 3.1 = 80,600

I also am not used to any cheat codes at all. This may have helped me because with using them according to the rules it made things so much easier. Thought Rica's would be easier but now I am not so sure. Also, the time on this actually is only cut in half not a third because you get the two additional weeks. Well, off to bed so I can see my new granddaughter tomorrow.....as soon as packing up my laptop because although I will be in the waiting room I will be with my computer and my townies or starting Ricalynn's challenge.

Just a question for the challenge team. I pmed a question to the three of you a few days ago regarding this challenge.

I don't seem to have received an answer yet. Would it be helpful for me to pm the question again?

Edit (so I don't double post): I am laughing so hard at the moment. A meteor just struck my property! First Time Ever!

None of my scoring sims were at home at the time, others in my household were and sims from all over the neighbourhood gathered to point at the meteor, but no one got killed, they got singed a bit, but not killed. Oh, and I managed to lose ALL of the buy debug skilling objects I had, as well as most of my outside garden!

Did I mention I'm laughing about it?

PS I've got a screen shot of the after effects which I'll be happy to share after the challenge is done

Hey Deklitch,  I recently got a meteor in Rica's challenge. For some reason Madison Van Watson was on the lot and got singed as my sims were running for their lives. It is the funniest thing (but helpful too then as they needed cash). Sucks that you lost your objects though.

Makenziegma that's a really strong score! And slightly intimidating. Hope you enjoy the time with your new granddaughter.

Just so everyone knows - unless the skill challenge is actually highlighted, it can't be counted.  There are several challenges that have a glitch so you have to ask for permission to count it if it's not bolded.

[Makenziegma]

I also noticed that a few skill challenges didn't highlight immediately as I expected. I thought I was going to have to ask about this, but they did eventually become bold. I am not sure why...maybe the glitch. I was very close to OCD about the challenges and lists upon lists about them.

Thanks for checking on my original mistake, Rica! I get so excited when I finish that I usually type something wrong.
All of my challenges were highlighted. I don't have all EPs, so I might not have the ones with glitches. I love these challenges!!!

hello!

my second challenge ever and it was great (hard work, but great)!

20 skills maxed
53 challenges completed

53 x 0.05 = 2.65 + 1.00 = 3.65

20,000 x 3.65 = 73,000

i might attempt rica's asylum next *gulp*

thanks 

[Ricalynn]

Nice score charlie.   Did you have any skill points in a non maxed skill?   Just making sure your score is a 100% and you didn't mention them so I thought I'd ask.

I had to finish this challenge fairly quickly because my granddaughter McKenzie (I thought it was going to be MaKenzie) is going to be born tomorrow. Her mom goes into the hospital to be induced in 8 hours and I'm planning on being there. I'm hoping to complete Rica's later.

Congratulations on little McKenzie! I hope mother and daughter are well. Much happines to you for being a granny as well. It's such a miraculous moment in life.

hello

and thanks for asking, but i maxed everything i could ... so no no-maxed points

(ps i'd love to know how many 'official' skills there are in total - i don't have university or supernatural)

Paul, Paula, and Pal Math together completed 26 skills and picked up 9 points in another for 26,450 skill points. They achieved 45 skill challenges for a multiplier of 2.25 + 1 = 3.25.  Their grand total is 85,962.

I learned a few tricks, unfortunately none I can use in Rica's Asylum.

[Turoskel]

My two sims and their cat managed 25 skills with 7 extra skill points and 45 challenges between them.

25 skills = 25000
7 points = 350
45 x 0.05 + 1 = 3.25

Total score: 25350 x 3.25 = 823875

Now I'm going to go reload some of my saves to find out at what point the game decided my sims were no longer married 

[Vesper]

Have just finished; enjoyed this challenge so much although am not sure if Rica's was more fun.

26 skills = 26000
9 points = 450
67 challenges x 0.05 = 3.35 + 1 = 4.35

26450 x 4.35 = 115057

Am pretty chuffed as my target was 30 challenges

[Deklitch]

Yay, finished, here is my score.

13 maxed skills = 13000
23 skill points = 1150
31 skill challenges = 31*0.05 = 1.55+1= 2.55

Score = 14150*2.55 = 36082
