Thanks for the quick response Pam. How long did it take Cinnamon to reach the top of the medical career. I was thinking of letting Kumquat get a job when she has her adult birthday. She is currently about six days from adulthood. She has completed two of the extra skill challenges she just needs to tutor a few more children and discover some more stars.

Cinnamon was able to reach level 10 of her medical career before she reached adulthood. Just remember, she's a workaholic, so she worked hard all day and worked at home. One of her lifetime rewards is Transmeditative Sleep, which helps quite a lot by cutting down on how much sleep she needs. She did most of her stargazing while on vacation in Champs Les Sims. And really, if you can snag the paperboy and nail him to the floor, you can get that tutoring challenge done in two or three days. Just plant them together on the floor for the whole day.
I am worried about Logic becuase I have never completed any of the skill challenges and never done the Chess Master thing either so I am worried that I would fail on it.
The Chest Master challenge takes some time, but if you start early (childhood or teen) and work on it steadily (say, one per day), you won't have any problem. The skill challenges look like they're overwhelming, but really they aren't. As a side benefit, the ones you tutor gain a lot on the relationship bar, so they are good friends by the time you're done. Be careful tutoring your own family, though, because when Cinnamon tutored Scarlet as a child, Scarlet's logic skill went up. And that just cannot happen because Logic is a SuperMax skill. Best to tutor kids outside your family. In summary, Cinnamon was ready for Ambrosia as soon as she aged to elder and got her final portrait done. The logic challenges weren't difficult at all. I do suggest that you not have a baby until all that is out of the way, though, because it will interfere. Cinnamon married after she reached adulthood, but she had her stuff done.
