Congrats to Nutella for an outstanding win! Thanks for sharing your strategy. Once again I learned new things from you like the thing about mascots and learning to craft them. I had never heard about that.
And thanks to the team for a really fun challenge. Doing all these different aspirations was so much more fun compared to some other challenges where you have to concentrate in doing one thing over and over again.
Well, talking about doing things over and over again, I started the challenge by fulfilling Eliza's aspiration by doing photography. I wanted to test how much money you can make with it after reading the strategies for the Skill of the Week challenge. And boy was that tedious and repetitive! But Eliza managed to fulfill both the Mansion Baron and Fabulously Wealthy aspirations on Tuesday the first week.
Apart from those two aspirations Bob completed his aspiration (Chef branch) and they both achieved the Soulmate and the Curator aspirations. For the latter, I always do the complete collection with frogs. They started to breed them on day one and as usual, they had all the frogs before they had completed milestone 3 of the aspiration.
Like Nutella, I also concentrated on the milestones that I could finish easily. I think that the only aspirations that the Pancakes did not start were the mischief aspirations (I don't like them) and outdoor enthusiast.
Oh, and I kept the house as it is although I found it pretty annoying. I only moved around some furniture and built them a cellar where I could stash some things I did not need. I am very conservative with Maxis made sims: I (almost) never give them makeovers or change their homes. Yep, I am weird like that and cannot help it even if it is a challenge like this
