Party Time!

Party Time!

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Music, drinks, and a good time! You can make a living throwing parties, and you've set out to do just that with the most important person in your life. So get your calendar ready, restock your bar, and tune your instruments; it's time to party!





Challenge Rules
  • Remember, the General Rules apply to all Tournament challenges. Exceptions may be noted below.
  • In CAS (no Story Mode), create 2 Young Adult Human Sims, any lifestates, any relationship. No additions to household for this challenge.
  • Move your Sims into Sandtrap Flat in Oasis Springs, with the lot furnished. Moving is banned.
  • For this challenge, all money must be made through selling party rewards, tips on musical instruments, singing, comedy, and mixology skill. If your Sims receive gifts('party favors'), you may also sell those.
  • Duplicating items through any means, such as copy pasto or cloning, is forbidden.
  • Each medal you earn through a party (or other social events that you schedule on your phone, excluding dates) adds to your multiplier (see Scoring below).
  • You may not throw successive events back to back; variety is the spice of life! If you throw a Dinner Party, you must do four other different events before you may repeat it.
  • During this challenge, you may not end a party early unless it is already in the gold medal range, unless your game is not ending the party when the timer runs out. If the timer displays 0 minutes remaining, you may 'end the party early.'
  • This challenge concludes at the end of 2 Sim weeks (Week 3, Day 1, 8:00 a.m.).

    Scoring

    Household Funds - At Week 3, Day 1, 8:00 a.m., pause your game and note your household funds.

    Medal Multiplier - Everyone starts with a multiplier of 1.0...
    -Gold medals add +.03 to your multiplier
    -Silver medals add +.02 to your multiplier
    -Bronze medals add +.01 to your multiplier

    Total - Your total score is your household funds multiplied by your Medal Multiplier.

    Example: You have household funds of §15,500 and threw eight gold medal parties, six silver medal parties, and nine bronze medal parties for a total multiplier of 1.46, giving you a final score of 22,475.




    A Few Additional Specifics:
    The team does not want to edit and change the ruleset once this event goes live, but we may have to. If an exploit is brought to our attention or we discover something else, we may ask affected players to redo their effort.

    If you have questions and need clarifications, ask away — you can post your questions in this thread, or if you feel a question might reveal a particular strategy you are considering, then feel free to PM the team. Choose the My Messages tab > Send Message > Send to Group (show membergroups) > Check the Challenge Board Moderator group.

    The winner will be announced the Monday following the closing date below. Once the event has closed, everyone is encouraged to discuss how they approached the event, and the winner is expected to do so in detail.

Is moving out of Sandtrap flat allowed?
Or selling/replacing some stuff in the house?

I thought about this because it might change the final household funds, adding money that don't come from parties.

Moving is allowed if you desire.
 Moving is banned after something was brought to my attention. Apologies, ruleset is being updated.

Due to rule 'all money must be made through selling party rewards, tips on musical instruments, singing, comedy, and mixology skill. If your Sims receive gifts('party favors'), you may also sell those.', selling your furnishings would be a violation of the rule. If you'd like to replace things, household inventory is an option, as is moving it out of the way.

Just a reminder that this event ends Sunday night. And it's also one of those events that does not require you to play the maximum time allowed -- the full two Sim weeks. So, if you can only play for a few days, great. Post your score and get on the leaderboard. Good luck finishing up.

It's a busy weekend, so I did not have time to do all two weeks, but I still wanted to post whatever I could.

Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar had $68575 in household funds with 1 gold medal party and 3 silver medal parties.

Multiplier = .03 + (3 X .02) = .09 + 1.00 = 1.09 X 68575 = 74746

This one took me a lot of time but I finally managed to arrive at the end of the 2 sims weeks on time!

My sims had 894 554 $ at the end.
They threw 239 gold parties and 2 silver ones so the multiplier is 7.21.

Final score: 6 449 734,34

My Sims managed to earn § 265089.

82 gold parties en 4 silver ones, so the multiplier is 3.54.

Score: 265089 * 3.54 = 938415.

That's in about half the time.
