Sculpting - Ice scupltures.

[LenaLJ]

I have a little question to the ice sculpting part. I know that you have to sculpt 25 ice sculptures for getting icesculptures to never melt. But what about the 25 sculptures up til you unlock the skill challenge - will they melt??
Or are it just ice sculptures after you completed the skill challenge who dont melt??

[Saltypaws]

Unfortunately, they melt until you reach the 25.  I just sell them or they become a puddle, lol.

Before you complete that sculpting challenge, you need to sell ice sculptures the same day.  In the Grim Reaper Challenge, my salesman elder missed going to the consignment store one day, and the following day all that was left of the two ice sculptures in the family inventory was a sad little puddle.

I wish the puddle was worth something!

Yeah, those sculptures weren't worth much at that point.  Which makes me wonder, who buys all those ice sculptures at the store, knowing they'll be totally valueless within 24 hours?

People with really big freezers?

Good one. 

If the sims are dumb enough to not see a guy holding 2 bushes, they are dumb enough to buy ice sculptures.

they are dumb enough to buy ice sculptures.

You mean puddles?

[Schipperke]

You mean puddles?

heehee.  Very lucrative puddles for my Sims, we hope!

Bshag, I think you're right.  If Sims were smarter it probably wouldn't be as much fun.

Coughs politely .... the Sims? Really? I seem to recall certain events on a world called Earth that also has statues carved out of ice (or even butter at times) which are being paid for and which do melt - EVEN if the creator of said sculpture has created MORE than 25 .... I am unsure how many ice sculptures must be created on planet Earth before they no longer melt ....

Do you think there's intelligent life on that world called Earth?

I think the only intelligent beings on that world called Earth are the ones that play Sims 3 - !

Is there a quick way to getting the 25 Sculptures challenge or am I going to have to miss out on a Toddler and YA life stage? I can get portraits but I doubt I will get Ice Sculptures.

I wish there was a quicker way, but the only way to shave off a little sim time, is striking out the que when you tell them to sculpt and then que the sim to sculpt again and the first quarter of whatever it is your sculpting will give way.   It takes off quite a bit of time, but other than that, that is it.

I didn't know that!  Thanks, Saltypaws, for sharing that bit of useful information.
