I Dream of Teeny

[Metropolis Man]

DNF here. I started late and my houseparent isn't turning elder anytime soon. I did learn a thing or two, even though I only played for a short time. Thanks for this great challenge. 

No need to take a DNF - you would just pause your file pre-Elder stage and report how many Teens remain and how many were given the boot.

[Roxanne07]

I didn't know that. I thought it had to be finished to count. Well, then I guess I'll play the file a little more and post my final score before the deadline! 

[Metropolis Man]

Yeah sorry that is unclear. With some events - let's say the goal is to accomplish x. If you can't accomplish x at all by the deadline, then yeah a DNF is in order. But, here you're just trying to do as much as possible by a certain time. It's not an all or nothing kind of thing. Good luck finishing up, Roxanne.

[Roxanne07]

Thank you, Metro. The challenge is really fun so I'm glad I get to play some more. 

[Joria]

I could have carried on and done more, I was close to another move out/move in, but wanted to focus on the two more complicated challenges.  Plus, I do have a dynasty to work on.

[Gheez]

Oh good, just read down and found out that I'm not disqualified, even though May Treeark is still an adult.

Moved out 1 teen
6 teens left in household

That gives me a total of 9 points.

(So close to making it 2 out and 1 more in.  But it is 15 minutes to midnight and the deadline so thought it best to stop.)

Looking forward to reading about how I should have done this 

Edit:

D'oh, just realised that the deadline is 24 hours away.  However, I think I'll let the result stand as is because I have no time to play tomorrow.

[Metropolis Man]

Nice job, Gheez - it's so great to see an old friend back in action with the challenges.

[Gheez]

Thank you Metro.   

I'm hoping to do better on the next two challenges.  Keep getting sidetracked by enjoying playing and watching the interactions which wastes a lot of time.  It's still all new and shiny for me!  It is so good to be able to play again.

I've always loved the challenges that you and the team have created - whether for TS3 or TS4 - and I like reading how those clever ones achieve their high scores.  So big thanks to you and everyone.

I could have carried on and done more, I was close to another move out/move in, but wanted to focus on the two more complicated challenges.  Plus, I do have a dynasty to work on.

Agreed! Those two other challenges definitely need a lot of work! 
About this one, even with a few more hours of playing, I knew I wasn't going far. I just really liked the file and wanted to carry on a bit more.

Teens out: 2
Teens still in:7
So: 2x3+7= 13 total points

[SIMantics101]

My sim only managed to adopt 7 teens, and none of them made it to young adult in time.

Teens still in:  7

It's been a crazy summer for me and I'm not used to trying to manage so many sims at once, haha!  But it was still a fun challenge.  Congrats to the winner and thank you to the moderators and challenge creators!  Looking forward to the next one.

[Metropolis Man]

Not a strong effort by yours truly at all. I have NEVER waited until the last minute to do a challenge. Well, except for all those other times. 

24 Teens given the boot - 24 X 3 = 72

5 Teens who wanted to remain and look at Barbara Eden until the end of time - 5

72 + 5 = 77

[LenaLJ]

What a long day. I completed the challenge and moved out all 42 children. So that's 126 points.

The only thing is I did not mark the completion time down before I had to leave for a urgent job task. So if I was faster or slower than Nutella I cant say for sure until I get back in a day or two, since I cant check my game files from here, 350 km away :O

[MarianT]

Congrats to both you and Nutella! Whomever comes in first, you both did a fantastic job.

[Metropolis Man]

Congratulations, Lena - but, just so you know if the two of you end up being tied for first then the tie would not be broken based on who got to that point first. I cannot do that because it's not fair and irrelevant to one's score.

We have had other events where there ended up being two winners. It's super rare - maybe only one other time. I cannot remember. But, ClayMask has yet to post so this may all be moot hehe.

[ClayMask]

Unfortunately, I've been super busy and haven't gotten in enough Sims time recently to attempt this event.  Congratulations Nutella and LenaLJ!  We'll see if anyone else manages to tie in the little bit of time there is left for this event.
