Voidcritters Go!

Goal
Yes, the craze has come to Willow Creek, Oasis Springs, and even Windenburg and Newcrest. Children everywhere are diving into trash barrels and looking in logs. Do your Sim children want to get in on this? You betcha!

General Challenge Rules
The General Challenge Rules always apply.

Specific Challenge Rules

• This challenge requires the Kids Room Stuff pack. You can purchase this here.
• Create 2 adults and 4 children in CAS, any traits.
• No adding to the household, no moving.
• You may go into Buydebug to get a satellite dish to prevent abductions.
• Your Sims may not buy Voidcritter cards; they must either find them or trade for them.
• Your household may have only one outdoor trash can.
• Children do not have to go to school; however, each day with a D average results in a 10 point penalty.
• This challenge ends when your 4 children age up to Teen.

Scoring

Each unique Voidcritter card is worth its power level. You may consider the foil cards to be unique, for a total of 40 cards. Please use [Lena's spreadsheet] to calculate your Total.

Example: Child A has 3 unique cards worth 7 points each, 2 cards worth 5 points, and 3 cards worth 1 point for a total of 34 points; Child B has 10 cards worth 2 points for a total of 20 points; Child C has 4 cards worth 10 points, but had 2 days with a D grade for a total of 20 points; and Child D has 12 cards worth 1 point each for 12 points. Grand total is 86.

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. 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, LenaLJ, Trip, and MarianT) 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 sounds like a brilliant challenge! Never even poked around voidcritters, so I'll have to run a few test games...

[rubywyld]

I've had a hard time getting into the Sims 4 as much as 3 but I have been enjoying the new Kids Stuff pack so going to give this challenge a shot. 

[MarianT]

We've added a restriction to the rules:

• Your household may have only one outdoor trash can.

Do the cards have to be unique overall, or unique to the child?

Unique overall -- you'll have a limit of 40 cards.

Um, how long is the child stage?

@Magpie2012 I believe the child stage is 13 days on normal lifespan.

[Magpie2012]

I was so hoping you weren't going to say that +facepalm/headdesk+

Grats on finishing first, Marian.

That's one way to get to the top of the leaderboard!

[Narinn2045]

Ember had 77 points, Larry had 80 points, Adriana had 75 points, and Roland had 60 points, for a grand total of 292 points. Everyone finished as a C student.

[Narinn2045]

Whoops, sorry. Roland had another card in his pockets worth 9 points.

[Metropolis Man]

So, your total is 292 + 9?
