Okay, given those scenarios, I think I'll be able to figure out who gets dinged and who doesn't. With one exception. The stove broke, the repairman fixed it and he wasn't gone more than 30 seconds and it broke again, along with the fridge. There was a pot sitting on it so I mistakenly thought perhaps it wasn't really broken and the pan was causing the sparks. Really silly of me now that I think about it. lol Anyway, I dragged the pot off and one of my contestants immediately thinks they can cook something, pulls something out of the fridge, puts it on the stove and just stands there. I drag that pot off. AGAIN. Why? I don't know, habit?
This same Sim AGAIN grabs stuff from the fridge to cook, but this time when I drag that pot off the stove they walk away. Later, another contestant picks up the pot and continues cooking it. The other pots and food on the floor were eventually cleaned up and I gave points to the Sims who did so, along with points for the contestant who cooked the food from the pot I'd dragged to the counter. I'm wondering now if ALL those points should be negated since I inadvertently gave them the opportunity to gain those points, right? Ugg, I'm making this too complicated, I'm sorry. I think I need to sit on my hands while watching these Sims. It's SO hard! lol
I need to get some sleep, but I'll look for your answer when I return late this afternoon and then sort everything out and post Day 2. I played Day 3 tonight and I thought I was going to have a game over situation. Day 2 was a doozy, but Day 3 gave it a run for it's money. o.O
