Two things
1) If I can't get to the end of the two weeks in game, do I still post a score to that point, or is it DNF.

2) What if one of my scoring folk dies and prior to death they had completed one/more of their milestones? Do I count those milestones? :'( (One of mine narrowly avoided death)

You may post a partial score if you run out of time
If a sim dies you may count their completed milestones.

Question about scoring:

"You may abandon an aspiration by moving a Sim out before completing their aspiration, meaning you cannot earn points with that aspiration again."

Does this mean once a sim abandons an aspiration early, no future sim can continue with this aspiration?

For example:

Sim 1 completes bodybuilder
Sim 2 abandons bodybuilder after the first milestone (would get duplicate milestone points)
Sim 3 gets bodybuilder. Does that mean Sim 3 can't put up any score for this aspiration at all?

Yes, sim 3 would be unable to earn any points in that scenario.

Was not sure if I could finish this one on time (it was quite long to play!) but finally had some free time today, so it's ok  :D

My household completed 16 unique aspirations and 4 "non unique" aspirations, plus some milestones from other aspirations, sometimes unique sometimes not:
 2000x16 (unique aspirations) + 1000x4 (non-uniquee aspirations) + 4800 (miletones from non completed aspirations) = 32000+4000+4800= 40800

Ugh. I have so much on my plate today that I have to pull the plug early. Only five unique aspirations were completed (5 X 2000 = 10000) and six additional unique milestones (6 X 200 = 1200) for a bottom feeder total of 11200. @sone, thank you so much for putting this one together. It was very fun. I had never done story mode before.

The Enterprise D Crew were called off to another mission and only made it to Wednesday of week 2.

three unique aspirations were completed - for 3 x 2000 = 6000

9 extra unique milestones - for 9 x 200 = 1800

For the new bottom score of 7800

There you go Metro, you weren't the bottom score for long!

Thanks Sone for the fun challenge

Too much time was spent by me in making the Sims look like their namesakes, and their 'uniforms' kind of coloured correctly.

I had a huge crush on Jeri Ryan back in my grad school days. I loved Voyager.

@sone, very creative challenge! I've never used story mode before. Also much harder than I thought it would be.

The Bridgertons (so named because every sim in the household started with the next letter of the alphabet) completed 19 unique aspirations, 41 non-unique aspirations, and got 2,300 points from completing various unique and non-unique milestones. Their total score is 81,300. While they have a little bit of sim time left, they don't want to roll certain aspirations again :)

Real time is running away from me, even though i would still have some days in game. But it is what it is.

The score is:
18 unique aspirations = 36000
16 duplicate aspirations = 16000
Other milestones =3600

Total = 55600

Had to uh...rush it a bit, got a train to catch in 4 hours XD

We completed 11 unique aspirations for 22,000 points, 3 repeat aspirations for 3,000 points, and milestones to a total of 3300 points for a total of 28,300.

I had less time to play with this than I hoped.

Unique completed aspirations: 4 x 2000 = 8000
Unique milestones:                13 x 200   = 2600
Duplicate completed aspirations: 1 x 1000 = 1000
Duplicate milestones:                 4 x 100   = 400

Total score: 12 000

In my high school days, I had a large picture of Marina Sirtis (Deanne Troi) on the ceiling of my bedroom right above my bed so she was the first thing I saw when I woke up and the last thing I saw when I went to bed.

I also wanted to be Wesley Crusher.

Dek is keeping it real! You're setting the kitchen on fire all by yourself with that revelation.

This took a long time, but it was so much fun. Excellent idea for a challenge. I never play in story mode, so this was a new experience.

14 unique completed aspirations = 28000
4 unique milestones = 800
1 duplicate completed aspirations = 1000

Total score = 29800

If only I had more human time… My crazy Sims made it to Tuesday morning of Week 2.
11 Unique Aspirations = 22,000
1 Repeat Aspiration = 1,000
19 Unique Milestones = 3,800
Grand Total = 26,800
