 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Goal
It's time for your Sim to go out into the world and add some Zen and Manicures to the world.


General Challenge Rules

• The General Challenge Rules always apply. If applicable, exceptions will be listed below.

Specific Challenge Rules

• Spa Day is required.
• In CAS, create 1 YA Sim, Human.
• All Household income is restricted to 1) Yoga Classes; 2) Guided Mediation Sessions; 3) Massages, 4) manicures, and 5) pedicures.
• Additions to the household are not allowed.
• You are allowed to use the Buydebug cheat for the sole purpose of purchasing a satellite to prevent abductions.
• The Challenge will end on Week 3, Day 1, 8 am.

Scoring

Household Income — At Week 3, Day 1, 8 am., pause your game and note your total household income.

GFM — Good Friend Multiplier. Start with a Good Friend Multiplier of 1.00. For every unique Good Friend, your Sim has at the end of the challenge that has paid your Sim for all five allowed ways to earn income, add .01 to the multiplier.

Total — Multiply your Household Income by your GFM for your Total. 

Here's an example:

Household Income - §10,300

Your Sim becomes Good Friends with 10 Sims. Each of those 10 Sims pay for all 5 services.
               
Good Friends = 10 Sims
               
GFM = 10 x .01 = .1
Final GFM = 1.00 + .1 = 1.1
               
Total = §10,300 x 1.1 =  §11,330

I think you have a typo in your example. It says 6 friends first, but then it says 10.

[Metropolis Man]

Ah, thank you, Nikitachi.

[Granny Lawlor]

This looks like fun. I need a nudge to explore Spa Day properly. Thanks - I'll look forward to having a go.

Awesome. Good luck with it. It's nice to see new faces jump in the Tournament.

The 'Hustle' milestone of the Self-Care Specialist Aspiration is broken at the moment. What can we do about it?

Thank you for bringing this to our attention @Nikitachi, if you have completed it, then go ahead and count it. I am researching it now to see there is anything new on it. I will update when we know more.

Thank you again,

Shannon

The Regular Customer milestone is broken as well. Can I just complete it with a cheat when I'm done with the task?

It seems as though that aspiration has come up as broken or not registering correctly. So, as long as you have completed the task, that is fine with me, @Metropolis Man what say you?

Sure, no problem, Nikitachi.

This event ends this coming Sunday night, so hopefully, we'll see good participation over the next few days. Good luck.

Good luck, everyone! Unfortunately I don't own Spa Day so I will have to sit out this one.

[MarianT]

After finishing this challenge, I feel so serene and peaceful that I think I'll take a nap. My Sim ended up with 42,035 simoleons and 3 good friends who meditated with her, did yoga, and got massages, manicures, and pedicures, for a total of 43,296. But there's plenty of room above that.

[sdhoey]

WOW, congrats Marian. I'm glad you got to find your zen.

Spa Mary fought the glitches and unruly students to make 10 Good Friends whom acquiesced to her new lifestyle choices. She ended up with 44,089; for a total of 48,497.90.
