Sims 4 Room Challenge

Im now at the end of week 1 in the he.ll house and these are my sims achievements for this week. I pause at midnight at the end of each day to update the spreadsheet. I seem to have forgot to out in the aspirations points for Sunday but its 1125. Im definatley saving up for something that will help keep my sim going, maybe no sleep would be good.

Her money dropped towards the end of the week for 2 reasons.

First the toilet then the computer broke so I had to buy the $1200 nanotrash bin to get rid of the rubbish, a small bin would have done for now but a point will come where she would need to leave the house to get rid of the rubbish, so I intended to get this eventually but was hoping to put it off until after the first bill came in. The bin is also a long term investment as she gets a little money ($10) each time she puts rubbish into it.

Second, she is working towards the Painter Aspiration and is on the 3rd part where she must hang 25 paintings. To be fair I could get paintings from buymode and they would count and I may have to get 5 in any case as she has to view 30, but I would rather not spend the money unless I have to. If the bills come to more than the cash I have then I will have to sell 1 or 2



What ive learned from this first week is that any emotional based trait makes for difficulties. My sim has the non commitment trait, I thought it would make things easier. It hasn't! She is tense every single day due to this , and when tense is the overriding factor then I cant get her to paint for instance, so I have to work on bringing other emotions to the fore.



Ive learned how difficult it is to make any headway with social, ive barely managed to keep her social in the green for the entire week.

I discovered that having a brisk shower twice a day is really beneficial, it slows down the rate of energy decay so my sim stays awake and active longer, and it helps to override the tense emotion she has most of the time.

Im working on raising her gardening skill as this will be a massive boost to social when she can talk to plants, this is an absolutely essential skill for this challenge, and it may well have been a better decision to do the gardening aspiration first. Her only social has been chat on the computer, she has made a few penpals but they do nothing to raise social, but ive heard that penpals can send you some rare stuff in the post so I will persevere with this.

Here is her house at the end of week one, the plants have come on well and are all in Very Nice state.
