I can't wait to hear what the cause of all these fires was  ;D

Maddie Skillz is ready for a vacation!

19 Unique Maxed Skills = 1,900
Household Multiplier = 1.66
Total Score = 3,154

I had a fire with an unexpected skilling object, too! Can’t wait to see if we all had the same object catch fire.

The inspiration for my Sim's name came from James Turner, who plays a Super Sim challenge with a Sim named Max Power, so I named my Sim in honour of them both.

Meet Maximus Skills, who maxed 23 skills with 77 Sims, for a grand total of ...

2300 x 1.77 = 4,071

I really hope that's correct, I hate this multiplier, so glad the next challenge doesn't have one.

I think Maximus did a pretty good job, but man, that was hard work, townies are such a pain, kind of fun though, but not as much fun as the next challenge is going to be, that'll be fangtastic, can't wait for that one, I'm so excited for it! ;D

Anyway, I'm knackered, I stayed up too late for this and my coffin I mean bed, is calling, I hope my score is right because I'm gonna sleep like the dead after that one! :P

@Rainbow Dash are you from the uk knackered is a pretty common phrase here. @Metropolis Man you can use cream crackered to mean knackered too.

Amazing scores everyone.

It is obvious that I chose the wrong skills and the wrong sims.  I can't wait to see what everyone else did. 

And, I have an idea about all of the fires although it didn't happen to me in this challenge, I did have an unusual item catch on fire once, and then almost had it happen again in my EPIC.

@ratchie I'm from New Zealand, it's a Tuesday evening where I am and the middle of Summer, there's quite a big time difference between here and the USA, at least a day, it's why I post my strategies later than everyone else, as it's normally around midnight when a challenge closes and I'm not always awake or online then. I can't say I've heard the phrase cream crackered, must be more of a UK thing. :-\

I am still in the middle of my run (started early but got really busy for the first week of the challenge), but I think I've also just had the fire from an unexpected skilling object that everyone else has been talking about!

@Rainbow Dash we use cream crackered as a sort of rhyming slang like let's have a butchers meaning butchers hook which means look. My mum always disapproved of us using the word knackered. I have insomnia and generally stay up all night most of the time. You mentioned James Turner before I am a big fan of his.
@Deklitch how did I not know you are from Australia.

figured with all the different times people post that we'd come from all over but it's nice to find out where. I'm from the UK where it's a cold but unexpectedly sunny Tuesday morning.
