The "Honey Do" List Grand Finale

The “Honey Do” List Grand Finale

Goal
I cannot believe that the light is finally at the end of the tunnel. It’s been a fun journey everyone, and so we offer up our final Sims 3 Tournament challenge. This challenge is the idea of Blackrosea’s daughter who thought it would be fun if players had to accomplish different kinds of things in the game—a list of sorts. When I heard the idea I thought — well, let’s turn it into a “Honey Do” list. Each Sim has their own “honey do” list, plus there’s a Family List as well. It all boils down to a race to see who can finish the three lists the fastest. Good luck, everyone!

The General Rules always apply. If applicable, exceptions will be noted below.

Scoring

Finish Time — When your two Sims have finished all the items on the three different lists, then you are done. Pause your game and note the game clock. Post all the information on your time: i.e. Week 3, Day 5, 11:35 AM.

Ch-Ch-Changes
The team does not want to edit and make changes to the ruleset once this event goes live, but we may have to. This seasons’ events are shorter and the team has less time to test potential loopholes. If an exploit is brought to our attention or we discover something else we reserve the right to ask affected players to redo their effort.

Have Questions?
Please think hard before you ask in the challenge thread because it may be strategy. What you may consider an innocent question could cause another player to go — “oh, I did not think of doing that.” It’s always safer to PM everyone on the team (Metro, ratchie, Nutella, and Blackrosea) for clarifications. Thanks.

And the Winner is...
After this event has closed everyone is encouraged to discuss how they approached the event, but the winner especially is expected to do so in detail.

This is a great challenge to end the era of sims 3 tournaments, looking so much forward to this one, Blackrose's daughter really had a great idear for this one.

[bored1]

Is the tournament ending early? I thought the rules said 16 events ending August 31.

[GlazeyLady]

This is an awesome challenge!!  What a great idea!

[KRae]

Yay! I love complicated. I'm going to make a check list and practice this one.

[bored1]

I did forget to say that I really really like this challenge. I'm gonna practice right now, even though the rules may change. I love it.

Well, folks I need to make a slight adjustment to the number of events this year. I am so sorry about doing this late in the game, but I was not expecting Sims 4 to come out until October or November. With the release date now on Sept 2 I have decided to drop the August events and have the Tournament end on July 31.

Looks like fun, thanks guys

[bored1]

sorry about that! I have a tendency to just look at the first page of things like that. I should've paid more attention.

nah, not your fault.  I blame Metro for posting that in an inconspicuous place.

I've never heard of 'Honey Do' lists before ...

However I do like the concept and the challenge.

Is a 'Honey Do' list like a 'bucket list'?

[Tiamet]

Are the items on the list unique to each sim, meaning if Sim A completes a 5k wish, can Sim B also complete a 5k wish?

Yes, that's fine.

[Blackrosea]

I am glad people are liking this so far, and I will let my daughter know. Thanks everyone.
