Something Crafty This Way Comes

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Think your Sims can carve out a win? First, they'll need to carve out some expensive sculptures. Or paint some Masterpieces. Maybe even stomp those grapes to make some excellent nectar. Whatever your Sims decide, they need to make every item count for maximum profit -- they won't have long to get crafty.

Dumb question from me, I'm sure, but

Household Funds can only be increased by selling items that your household Sims have crafted or made using Plopsy, The Street Gallery, or a sales table

To me that reads that you have to use Plopsy, The Street Gallery or a sales table to craft or make objects by your household sims. Is that what you mean?

[mismck]

I can see how it can be read that way. Your household Sims craft or make items. The only way to increase household funds is to sell those items using Plopsy, The Street Gallery, or a sales table.

Hi, @Deklitch  -- I know you lean towards Sims 3, so it would be great for you to jump into the Tournament again. Good luck if you do!

Checking -
I'm assuming that we need to keep creekside cabana's walls where they are.  Can we put the furniture in household inventory (no selling the furniture, but I'd like to move it out of the way)

Correct. No architectural changes. Moving furniture into household inventory is fine.

I just joined because I thought this challenge seemed cool.  So when does the challenge actually end?  I am confused because of the above quotes....  and 8 am is what time zone?

Thanks

Welcome to the forum. The challenge ends this coming Sunday night. Take a look towards the bottom of the rules for the purple dates. The 8 a.m. you refer to is in-game time, not your real-time zone. So, you can play your game file no later than February 11th, but as far as Sim time, you can only play until Day 5, 8 a.m. of Week 1. Just look at the in-game clock at the bottom of the UI. Hope that makes sense.

My Sims finished with household funds of $354,751. I'm going to appreciate being at the top of the leaderboard, if only for a short time. This was a lot of fun.

Is your amount above your final score, or are you not finished yet? I'm just uncertain if you are posting your final score.

[Metropolis Man]

This challenge ends Sunday night, so post your score soon. Good luck finishing up.
