I've never fully done a challenge before. Usually, I look to them as guidelines or suggestions for a playstyle to mix it up. This fun challenge was the first I ever scored. (Inspired by Litabelaqua's great looking spreadsheet and Katoregama's great guidelines!) I had only recently bought the game and had only been playing around in CAS and Build mode, so my actual first play in the game proper was this Room Challenge. So in a lot of ways it was my tutorial alongside some great tips in this thread! Like my poor sim locked away for all this time, now I am nervously stepping out into the game world proper.
So, Joan Alone ended up finishing in the final hour of Week 6 with a score of 174. She was Creative, Cheerful, and Neat. She was also adorable but sadly I can't post images yet. :( Reading some above opinions on rewards, I wasn't near as stoked as I might have been because the rewards that she purchased had me second guessing myself. So I may send Joan Alone's twin sister Sloane in for a second go at it. I adhered to the challenge rules as stated though, so I didn't sweat it too much. The only thing I was uncertain on was the rule that said we couldn't change an aspiration unless it could go no further. I grabbed a few aspirations knowing I couldn't progress past the first tier, just to get the 5 points to offset some of the dwindling Day Points. IE: Body Building, workout and such, get to 2nd tier sending me to a gym and then swapping to the next aspiration. From what I read, that was allowed and addressed in the rules but being new to challenge scoring, I hope that I interpreted that correctly.
She painted a ton, played some violin, loved her food, gained weight, loved her plants, lost weight, collected postcards, cleaned obsessively, battled alcoholism, gained weight again, was confident for weeks on end, and was happy until the final stretch anyway. She thickened some in the hips and tail end but generally didn't gain as much as some in this thread. Seeing her weight distribute differently, I am wondering if her CAS design/genetics played a role in that.
Joan Alone cried a lot at the end for no apparent reason. Her needs and whims were kept up but she leaked about as often as her bathroom sink. In fact, when it was all over and she first stepped outside into the welcoming world, she pouted, cried, and then turned to go back inside to talk to her plant. Go figure...
