Dang, you play a practice game and you still finish so quickly! Congrats on completing the challenge!

@oshizu --- Thanks a lot ! I practice as soon as the new challenges are up. I start the scoring file as soon as the event goes live.  Good luck with this challenge.

Any sequence -- i.e. your choice.

star rating- 12/10= 1.2
total- 1.2*10,745= 12,894

Do you need an add on pack for this challenge?

Yes, you need Dine Out.

Ok, luckly I have that one  .thought you needed get to work, one of the only ones I don't have

Unspent perk points carry over from one restaurant to the next. Shouldn't we only include unspent perk points in our score for the final restaurant owned to avoid double counting?

In my practice run, my purchased perks are carrying over as well (not just the unspent points). Is that expected, or a bug?

@Minnie Mouse

That is how it's supposed to work, I believe. They follow your "active sim."

Let me rewrite the Perks section in scoring -- someone say if it better reflects what players are experiencing with points.

This was really fun!
I spent so much time planning the practice run that I decided not to do a practice run, despite several bumps in the road.

Total Perk Points = 20,930
Total Star Rating = 22.5/10 = 2.25
Total = 20,930 X 2.25 = 47,092.5

I'm not sure what to do with the fraction in the Total Star Rating.
Challenge Team, please revise my score as you see fit.

P.S. The explanation for tallying perk points is easier to understand now.
P.P.S. Even with the Private Dwelling lot trait, there was a vampire break-in which prevented everyone from leaving the restaurant until almost 5 a.m.

oshizu, you did fine with your score. Historically, we don't add decimals to scores, so I'll just drop the .5

Yes, it's written more clearly now. I thought I was supposed to be counting spent points at each individual restaurant, then adding the unspent points from the last restaurant - hence my confusion. Thank you

P.P.S. Even with the Private Dwelling lot trait, there was a vampire break-in which prevented everyone from leaving the restaurant until almost 5 a.m.

I also had a vampire break-in with the trait. Vlad showed up and poofed his way through my restaurant cleaning up dishes. Thanks, but no thanks?

So I guess the trait doesn't work at all on commercial lots. Though it definitely works on private lots - Vlad also attempted to break into my house last challenge, but was unable to come through the front door (he then stomped off angrily into the sunrise).

@oshizu --- Great job with this challenge !

@coolsim9999999   I had a bit of bad luck, lol, but still enjoyed it.
I only wish I could finish every challenge like you do! I plan, I start, but have not been finishing.
