Rica's Asylum—Oh, No You Don't!

[Jennawynn]

So... I had a horse... and got a couple skills and challenges with him, and as I was raising his social bar, the animal control woman came and took him away. Does this end my game? If not, can I still count his skills and challenges? (this is my first official challenge... only attempted dynasty before now)

[Turoskel]

This was a real rollercoaster for me, sometimes I was loving it while at other times I was cursing them for their absent minded grumpiness making them cancel the queue, overall though I enjoyed it.

A newly young again Lucille and Nellie Spenster and their little dog Rusty didn't do too badly although if I did it again I'd do a few things differently I think.

12 maxed skills = 12000
20 unmaxed skill points = 1000
39 challenges = 39 x 0.05 + 1 = 2.95

Total Score: 12000 + 1000 x 2.95 = 38350

Argh!  This did not go well...

0 maxed skills = 0
24 skill points = 1200
1 skill challenge = 1.05

Total: 1260

Well, I had hoped to get a few more skills maxed, but time was not on my side. That was one tedious challenge!

Maxed skills - 10
Skill points not maxed - 22
Challenges - 35
Final Score - 30525

Well if the horse didn't end it, that stupid smart phone did. I'm not sure where my game actually ended since nobody replied to my inquiry, but there are three possible scores-

If my game ended when my horse was taken away due to low social bar, Week 4 Day 7: Total 4875

If not, but I cannot use the horse's skills when he was taken: Max- 2, Partial- 46, Challenges 9: 6235

If I can still use the horse's accomplishments: Max- 2, Partial- 60, Challenges 9: 7250.

Luke, Leia, and Tauntaun were incredibly unhappy until about week 6 when I finally had enough money to start buying good stuff... and they lit the grass on fire at least four times. Lasted until Week 6, Day 4 when Luke picked up a smart phone and got a duplicate skill.

Tom and Jerry Tribble (no pet) did absolutely pathetically

Final Score
Maxed Skills - none
Extra Skill Points - 34
Skill Challenges - zilch

(0x1000 + 34x50) x (1+0.0)  = 1700

After lurking for a while, I have decided to join this challenge!

I have 2 questions.

1. What does the player watching the guitar player rule mean? If I see a guitar player in the park do I have to stop and watch?

2. Are the alchemy store and vampire and werewolf taverns banned?

[Deklitch]

1) No, it means that if one of your controlled sims is playing the guitar, you need to have the screen on them.

2) I don't think they are banned.

Hi guys, some amazing scores again, well done!  I am doing this challenge, but have suddenly realised I am running out of time.  Hope to get a score that takes me off the bottom of the table, but as I have not maxed a score yet, that may not be possible   Good luck everybody. Will try and do myself justice this time.

This one was fun Just reminds you of how much you love all the little cheats when you can't use them. 
Skills maxed: 16 x 1000 = 16,000pts
Skill Points: 1250pts
Skill challenges completed: (53 x 0.05) + 1 = 3.65
Total: 17250 x 3.65 = 62962!

[LenaLJ]

Its done, and I loved the challenge in this challenge.
Sigma, Tau and Blinkie managed to get done a few days earlier than my normal score deliveries, so yay.

And the score is:

23 maxed skills = 23000
14 skill points in non-maxed skills = 700
50 skill challenges X .05 = 2.50. Final multiplier = 1.00 + 2.50 = 3.50.

Total=82950

[SimBlip]

That is a fantastic score, Lena! Well done.

File Name: Savant
Lilith and Leona Savant - no pet - completed their challenge too. I'm glad it's over.

17 maxed skills = 17000
28 skill points in non-maxed skills = 1400
62 skill challenges = 4.1

Total: 75440

My team finished up with 11 completed skills, 9 skill points, and 30 challenges for a grand total of 28625.

11 x 1000 = 11000
9 x 50 = 450
30 x .05 = 1.5
11450 x 2.5 = 28625.

It was interesting how often they became absent-minded when asked to do something they disliked such as cleaning the toilet.

[klop90]

12 maxed skills = 12000
26 skill points in non-maxed skills = 1300
35 skill challenges X .05 = 1.75. Final multiplier = 1.00 + 1.75 = 2.75.
Score 13300x2.75=36575

Well, Judd and Judy Miserable really wasn't that miserable.  I managed to keep them pretty happy for the challenge.  I enjoyed it a lot, probably because it is how I usually play minus the bad traits and no LTRs.  I decided to skip the pet for this one.
They maxed 23 skills 23000
Completed 50 skill challenges for a 3.5 multiplier
For a grand total of 80500.
