Is that a snowman gnome in the foreground?
And speaking of progress... I still need to post an update! I find I like to spend more time playing the challenge than I do taking notes/writing about it! So a mini- update on Dusty.
He became a professional sculptor and got married. Kia, the dog, aged up and they trained her to hunt. That is a major money maker, but much better if they are hunters and have the "Alpha Pet" reward. Anyway, they are now co-owners to the diner, the bookstore and the grocery store.
As for whether to start over or not... I don't know. Have you tried getting a hunting dog? For that matter a hunting cat, though not quite as profitable. Or perhaps a miner machine? And never overlook the power of the dumpster dive! If you have SN, get a gem cutter (or use the one in the elixer consigment store). If you are gardening, don't waste time on cheap plants. Go for the big money makers - most of the mushroom varieties, life fruit, flames that sort of thing.
