Don't Put All Your Collectibles in One Basket

[MarianT]

Just to clarify we can only sell collectibles from the 9 collections we are scoring for that household?

Actually, you may sell any collectibles, but you may only count 9 complete collections from each household.

Thank you so much, Marian, for clarifying.

If anyone else is still confused about something in the rule set - we still have one week before this goes live. So, post your concerns.

The only thing is that when you create all three sims at once and then separate them, the game will still consider all of them as playable, because they have been "played." Your rules only indicate to turn off aging for unplayable, which will not stop two of your three sims from aging.  You also need to have Age only active household turned on.  I mentioned this yesterday, but my post was missed.

Thanks, what you said above is what I meant, I worded it incorrectly   We must tick 'age only active household'.  Got it.

@crstasse I am not a member of the team, so they need to say whether or not this is what they want to be done, which I see they have done in the main rules...so yeah, that's what you need to do.

Which brings up the point that right before the event goes live make sure to reread the rules. The event's rules seems to be changing more than others in the past. But, I do not think there will be any more changes.

I just read the changes to the rules, and I will again before I start my scoring file when the event goes live.   

The changes seem like they will make the challenge even better --- I had a pretty good practice file (and I had a good time playing it), but now, I think things will go even better in my scoring file .

We really do appreciate everyone's patience with us with all the chopping and changing.

Awesome. I just added you to the Baby Boomer leaderboard. Welcome to the forum.

In my practice file, the game showed the splash in the middle of the screen for the completion of the fish and garden collections, and in the collection pane, the bar across the fish collection and the garden collection are colored yellow, like other completed collections.  But the fish and garden completed collections counter in the upper right is not being incremented for those because I haven't caught the fish from Granite Falls or acquired the plants from Sixam or Granite Falls. 

So my question is, when are the collections considered complete?  Is it when the game gives you the Completed Collection splash page and colors the bar yellow, or if you own the expansion packs are you required to also collect those items so the counter will increment?

Okay. I think I've got it, but I want to make doubly sure before the challenge goes live. These collections do NOT have to be unique, correct?

Correct. There can be overlap with collections.

It's when the game gives you the completed collection splash page and colors the bar yellow.

Added:

If the game says that a collection is complete, then it's complete. You don't have to have elements that were added by expansions.

When my final Sim aged up to Elder, my households had garnered the following income via collecting:

Household A: §29,524

Household B: §32,457

Household C: §28,503

Combined Total for all 3 households:
§90,484

Full Collections: None --- so no multiplier
All 3 of my households almost got 1 collection apiece --- It was soooo close!

Final Total Score: §90,484
