Week 2 Update: Chris Harper
The week in two words ... Relentless Rain.
Lots of rain in Chris's second week, but that isn't all bad.
Although he did get struck by lightning while gardening, he managed to survive.
There are some things he wants to do with produce after the growing season winds down in the Fall, so he has planted a sizable garden ...
This would normally take more time to manage, but the rain is doing most of the watering from him.
I also caught Chris playing in the puddles when he was through weeding the plants ... :D

Chris had some business in town and managed to stop by the Dojo on his way home.
He messed around a little and figured a few things out over time.
The hot tub in the Dojo was broken ...
But he didn't feel comfortable enough to fix it after flirting with lightning a few days before.

One of his days was a bit off after catching Deathfish in the Graveyard well after Midnight.
He slept late, did the gardening, read a little while ... Then took some items to the Elixir Shop to Consign.
As I mentioned, he ran into a nice young lady there ... So he actually made a point to stop back by the next day.
Unfortunately ... The Sim powers managed to replace the nice young lady with this somewhat interesting fellow.

Challenge Tips:
Fishing can be an asset and is required for a central requirement of the Challenge.
However ... It can also be a "cash cow" in slow times.
Players tend to know that different fish bring in different amounts of cash.
It is important to also remember that the more fish of a single type a Challengers catches ...
The value of that type increases over time.

Ponds freeze up in the late Fall and Winter, but Saltwater doesn't.
Lobsters are the best money you can make in Saltwater Fish.
You can grow Onions to catch Tuna ... And use Tuna to catch Lobsters all year.
Consigning fish doesn't count the same way towards your Angler Career ... But you can make more money through Consigning fish.
Just remember to alternate between the Consignment Store and the Elixir Shop to keep the prices up.

Since you are going to be in the Graveyard at some point catching Deathfish anyway ... Keep your little camera handy.
Daily, you can snap a picture of the Mausoleum and Tombstones for a little extra value in price and towards your Photography Skill.
Two of the most valuable pictures you can take are "Ghost" and "Wandering Ghost" ... Take advantage of the opportunities.
Two more very valuable pictures you can take are of an "Alien" and "Space Car" ... Keep your eye out for the opportunities.
Thanks For Dropping By ... And Happy Simming!
