I finally joined this forum after at least a year and I just finished my first challenge.
My sim, Mimi Reid, worked tirelessly fixing the poor, dilapidated Sunset Valley, and she did:
37 upgrades x 1000 = $37000
16 unique upgrades x 3000 = $48000
thus raising a grand total of $85000 for her company. She practically ran home and collapsed into bed (but not before throwing her wrench out the window first
) This challenge was so much fun and I can't wait to do the next one!
Thanks Metro and everyone for taking the time to make these challenges, I'm sure they're all just as fun as this one.
