A Couple of Knit Wits

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Goal

People wonder what goes on in the Knitwit household. One of them is always telling jokes; the other is always knitting. Does the knitting one ever feel tempted to weaponize a knitting needle? Does the jokester ever try to make the knitter drop a stitch? Who wears the sweaters in that household? Well, in this challenge, you can find out.

Nice! Seems like a quick one!

Nice! Seems like a quick one!

That was the idea. You can pretty much do anything except open up the cheats panel. The Finale will be harder and more complicated.

I can see Prince Herbert with the fruit platter on his head and Lancelot the homicidally brave (both of Spamalot fame) having great fun with this challenge.

...a quick question, on the Joke Star jokes.  Is that (3 sims, 1 joke each) or (3 sims, 3 jokes each)?

...a quick question, on the Joke Star jokes.  Is that (3 sims, 1 joke each) or (3 sims, 3 jokes each)?

That is clarified in the last sentence of "Wit." But, if it can be said in a better way, let me know...

You need to say all three to three different Sims.

[Teresa]

I have actually read it both ways (3 jokes each to 3 different sims) and (1 joke each per sim) depending on the time of day and whether it was raining or not.    And how distracted I was when I read it each time...

I was working it as 3 jokes to each sim x3 sims so that is good.

Yep, you got it. All 3 different jokes told to 3 different Sims.

Wait...am I just joking?

What took you so long? *picks his jaw off the floor*

[Teresa]

That would be the good thing about still being quarantined at home   Although I am trying to get released back to the office (21 days and counting so far)

I'm having an issue with gifting my knitwear. It shows up in the other persons inventory but does not register as completed. It's happened in 3 out of 4 practice runs. What do I do if it happens during my real run through.

Unless another team member speaks up and has an alternate solution, I'd say count it, Rachel.
