Mooch off your Neighbor Challenge! :)

Whoops, one more question:

I usually play my own Sims living in homes I constructed. I've only gone into one other Sim's home since the game launched. I have never, ever played pre-made Sims or households and have never used pre-made homes (not even in prior Sims games). Well, given the requirements of this game, my Minnie has now gone into another home and holy cow, it's DARK!!! I can't see what we're doing!

I know we can't modify other Sims' homes in any way that would advantage our Moocher. For example, we can't buy them better electronics or appliances. However, would it be possible to upgrade the lighting in the Moochee homes? Or, should our Moochers just find a better class of friend to pal around with (assuming the higher priced homes have better lighting)?

And, while I'm on this topic, can we upgrade the public lots? At least, can we put in better/more lighting? The lighting in Sims 4 is abysmal. I know about the lighting mod, but I don't (and won't) use mods. Never have, and don't plan to start now.

If it were up to me, I'd say the only upgrade should be lighting. Other than that, your Moocher takes life as s/he finds it. If there's no expensive, top-of-the-line whatchamacallit, deal with it or move on.

Good Day @SimPoseyYum :)

LOL So your sim had a Groundhog day did she? :p I like your thinking, I also could have sworn they invited us over for dinner. Why I even offered to cook. ;)
Sorry about the crash. I get them every once in awhile also. Usually after I have been playing for 3ish hours and in and out of lots a lot. That is why I suggested to go out and come back in occasionally to start anew without having to start new. ;)

Your second run sounds like when I went to visit the landgrabs. I mooched it up good then Malcolm decided he was gonna be mean and rude so guess who's bed I took? :p They only have 2 beds in that huge house and poor little Malcolm had to sleep on the couch! ;) To justify I did spend my money to fix Grilled chicken for dinner. :)

As to your friend question; Well since it is pretty hard for my feller to make friend I would bet it is gonna be really hard to keep them over the duration of the challenge. So I believe we should count them when we get them. They give you extra points but then again they take time that you would be using to earn money. So it would be a trade off as I see it. if you want to take the time for the points go for it! :)

Hum I don't have the lighting issue that some of the players are encountering. So yes you should go in if you wish to and only alter the lights. I agree no extras to make your life a little easier. ;)
I went and added to the public lots, I added easels and a work bench to the museum and added the good computer (ghostwriter one that somebody is always on) with inspiration lights to the library. Also added a snack bar with fridge, coffee pot and micro to the library. (I love the coffee shop in RL at book stores) :p The park behind the venues in WC always have food at the picnic tables so eating isn't much of a challenge. Just no sleeping at the venues.

Have fun! Happy House hopping! :)
