Bring the party atmosphere of the '80's to your modern Sim life!



Challenge Rules

• Remember, the General Rules apply to all Tournament challenges. Exceptions may be noted below.
• Create 4 young adult Sims (life state, relationship, and traits are up to you) and move them to any lot. Make a note of your Household Funds.
• No Household additions. No moving.
• All money must be made through selling party rewards, tips on musical instruments, tips on singing, and song royalties. If your Sims receive gifts ('party favors'), you may also sell those.
• Duplicating items through any means, such as copy pasto or cloning, is banned.
• Your 4 Sims are your Band. One must sing and the other 3 must each play a different instrument. During each party, the band must give a performance of at least 30 Sim minutes. If all 4 band members do not play and sing together for 30 Sim minutes, the party is unsuccessful and doesn't count.
• Each medal you earn from a party (or other social event that you schedule on your phone, excluding dates) that includes a successful band performance adds to your multiplier.
• You may not throw successive events back to back. For example, if you throw a Dinner Party, you must do four other different events before you may repeat it.
• 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 on Sunday, Week 3, Day 1, at 8:00 AM.

Scoring

Household Funds:
- Note your household funds on Sunday, Week 1, Day 1, 8:00 AM (the moment your game screen loads and before you do anything)
- Note your household funds on Sunday, Week 3, Day 1, 8:00 AM
- The difference is your Household Funds Score

Medal Multiplier (MM): Start with a multiplier of 1.0
-Gold medals add 0.3 to your multiplier
-Silver medals add .2 to your multiplier
-Bronze medals add .1 to your multiplier

Total: Your total score is your Household Funds multiplied by your Medal Multiplier (MM).

Example:
As soon as you move onto your lot, your Household Funds are §5,000.
Your household funds on Sunday, Week 3, Day 1, 8:00 AM are §9,000.
Household Funds: §9,000 - §5,000 = §4,000.

You threw 6 successful Gold Medal parties, 8 successful Silver Medal parties, and 7 successful Bronze Medal parties.
MM: 1 + (6 x 0.3) + (8 x 0.2) + (7 x 0.1) = 1 + 1.8 + 1.6 + 0.7 = 5.1

Total: §4,000 x 5.1 = §20,400

Finally finished with my band!

Their household funds are:  464 946 (at the end of the 2 weeks) - 6171 (funds at the beginning)= 458 775 $
Multiplier: 1.00 + 147 gold medals x 0.3 + 4 silver medals x 0.2 = 1.00+ 44.1 + 0.8 = 45.9

Total: 458 775 x 45.9 = 21 057 772.5

I had technical issues with the party ending but my next party had requirements from the last party that didn't complete so I'm going DNF. Sorry.
