Week 5 report

My error in following the writers career is now clear from the stats. My earnings took a dive while I was working towards it and daily earning of between 2k and 6k are NOT sufficient for this challenge. I can make that much on 2 or 3 paintings. I wasted a week in which my sim was unhappy most of the time, writing is not fun! so she had to work on keeping social AND fun maxed.
You must get the creative trait in order to write bestsellers, and that wastes aspiration points that could have been much better employed (no hunger for instance). Reducing your sims needs are crucial to this challenge. I lost sight of the goal which is to MAKE MONEY and to make money my sim has to work. She cannot work when she is eating sleeping peeing and talking to the carrot.
At least painting pictures is fun and profitable, also I think its not a good idea to get antiseptic after all, having showers is beneficial in raising her mood so that she works better.
She is now working towards Botanist as I like that aspiration. Does she really need it? she needs the aspiration points for never hungry but im sure I would earn those if I just switched to the Mansion Baron now instead of working another week towards it. But hey ho, decision made and at least she is now free to paint when she isn't gardening.
As im now doing Botanist I had to rejig the house as I really need 20 plants on the go. Once Botanist is complete I think I will reduce it just to 4 so can still socialise but spend less time tending them. I got rid of everything she does not need to make room for the plants
I gave up on trying to keep my sim slim, she is what she is, a renaissance artists beauty!
