Nice score Xakzen - I wondered if someone would pick up on the necessary strategy :D
Heh, I was pretty sure you and ClayMask would have picked up on it too ;D
Have been really busy, though; haven't had much time to play!

I've finished my challenge now too and have gotten the following:
My Sim had 412 kids and finished with a score of $52/hour.
So I believe that is 412(50)+52=20,652

Excellent score. I never figured out how to increase triplet production. At least I attained my goal of being first for half a day ;).

Professor Peabody ended up with a salary of 552 and fathered 46 children.
Score 46 X 50 = 2300 + 552 = 2852

I've very obviously missed a trick with the kiddie production line, but proud of my score none the less. Incidentally this challenge chucked me even more bugs than usual, possibly to do with tourists I guess.  At one point I had two copies of the same tourist talking to me, neither of which I could interact with. I plan on going for a full reinstall now that I'm done as factory resets didn't help :(

Ivor Geekon was tipped to win a Nobel Sim Award for his contributions to science, when he met Moralie Luce, receptionist. While his plans for enhancing the globe with his intelligence suddenly seemed unimportant, he encouraged his son randy to follow in his footsteps and leave a legacy that sims for generations would be proud of.  Randy Geekon-Luce managed to rise to the top of his education career as a District Superintendant and acquire a veritable army of future geniuses!

Final salary = 598
Children = 35

Final score = 35(50)+598 = 2,348

As a final treat I leave you with this totally creepy shot that sums up just how despicable my little geek was.

Oh, too funny! The puppy dog eyes say Try for Baby, but the brain is saying Einstein's Theory of Relativity.

Mike Kamino was an ordinary guy. Until his country needed him. A vaccination clinic held at Central Park left all the men in the country sterile. Except for Mike. He was away on vacation that day. When he returned he was asked to take on a new identity: Sergio Casanova. His mission: Make sure the population of the town did not dwindle and die. He knew it would be hard work; he new he would get a reputation as a dirtbag - but it must be done, and someone must do it! To stay under the radar as much as possible, he produced children with only foreigners who came to the country. But still, news got out. The headline: TEACHER TAPS TEN TOURISTS - TACKY

After a long and arduous challenge, Sergio hung up his jockstrap - then thought better of it, and burnt it instead. He was given a clean slate and decided to continue his job teaching and find a nice lady to settle down with and have no more kids ever.

Final salary: 113
Final kids - 573

Total score = 113 + 573x50 = 28763

When I did my test run it was just under half that - and I saw room for improvement right near the end. I figured if I saw room for improvement, someone else certainly would - and Claymask did just that! I made the necessary improvements, and to beat her score in the end was more than I expected! Now, we wait for Drift :D

Congratulations Chuckles!  I know a way I could have done better.  Looking forward to finding out if that's what you did.

22 foreign kids x 50 = 1100 + 72/hr salary = 1172

By other scores I could've obviously done better BUT I'm proud of it lol... learned a few new things about charisma and relationships, and had fun doin it . T4TC !

I don't even know if I could count that high!  What did the family tree look like?  One big slider?

Yup - I had to count the number of kids across one slide, then wait for each child's picture to load, before marking them in my memory, and sliding it to just past them, and then adding on the next bunch - with my screen size and resolution I counted by 21s. To be sure, I wrote down every 21st child's name and the total next to them as I went. Interestingly enough, it seems the game was running out of random names, because there was at least one double-up.

Chuckles, I'm impressed by your score -- and your way of keeping track.

Here's a weird coincidence. I just encountered a sim with the Lifetime Wish of Master Romancer -- and a wish to enter the Education career!

Wow - mindblowing's the best word to describe that score there! Nope, I'm very far from that ;)
Think I can vaguely see how you got 573, though I don't have an idea of how to actually carry out the rough plans in my mind for that!

When Conor Brown-Bieber heard of his mission to spread his intellectual genes, he just couldn't say no, and in 4 weeks had numerous ladies' hearts all over the world tonight screaming "baby, baby, baby oh!". A total of 466 times... but let's not talk about his humble playground monitor job. Anyway, he'd have a much better chance of influencing the world through his brilliant children from all over the globe rather than as the district superintendent of Sunset Valley.

Final score = 20 + (466 * 50) = 23,320.

Wow I thought I had a good strategy but after seeing these scores I know I don't. LOL! I guess there is not much a point in practicing anymore as I have no idea what could be the strategy! Well I guess it's time to start before I don't get a chance to finish!
