"Only one upgrade from the bingo card can be performed on a lot." So perform upgrades on 25 different lots for the bingo? The wording is confusing me.

Correct. Each upgrade on the bingo card would be on a different lot.

Where have you been?! You're supposed to be defending your world championship title!

[SueDenim]

This does not apply to me at all - but I'm asking for the room.

If (for example) you only had base game and fewer than 25 lots ((again, not asking for me)) could you repeat lots after you've cycled through all the available ones?

Apologies, time has got away from me so far this year. Not sure how it's almost March already.

@LenaLJ can weigh in -- this is her event. But, IMO, yes, that would be fine. I would think even with the base game, one might have 25 different lots. Not sure.

If there would not be 25 lots with the packs a person has, then yes you can repeat lots.

I can see "clean coat" 2 times on the bingo sheet, is this done on purpose?
We have to make 2 "clean coat" upgrades?

I'm presuming diagonal rows are the the two main diagonals of 5 squares each and not the shorter diagonals of 2,3,4 (and I guess technically 1 square) that can be made ... asking for a friend.

Correct, its only from the corners.
So each full row consists of 5 unique upgrades.

My Sim, Lotsa Gnomes, had lotsa fun running around to lotsa lots to do lotsa upgrades across lotsa worlds. Unlike his watcher, who felt lotsa relief, he sadly put down his screwdriver and parts on Thursday at 3:52am, having just completed his 25th required bingo.

He completed all 5 rows, all 5 columns and two main diagonals successfully = 12 x 100 = 1200 points, I believe. He finished, as I said at 3:52am on Thursday.

It was lotsa fun to do, and I saw lots of lots, and discovered lotsa more.

Thanks for the challenge.

Now I'm going to my coffee shops and have lotsa flat white coffee,

This was fun. I always enjoy the bingo challenges.

My Sim completed all 5 rows, all 5 columns and two main diagonals = 12 x 100 = 1200 points. She finished at 9:40am on Thursday.

[kinseyam]

Very fun challenge! I like handiness. My Sim completed all 5 rows, all 5 columns and two main diagonals = 12 x 100 = 1200 points. She finished at 4:39 PM on Saturday (Day 7).

This was a lot of fun. I finished on Saturday 4:41pm.
