Just finished the Room Challenge, was a blast! Just the type of challenge I like, has enough to keep you busy but isn't super long and tedious like some can be (clears throat "legacy challenges" cough) ;)
Finished with a final score of 221 which I'm pretty happy with. Had some fun with my sim Molly McPherson. Went for Insane, creative and cheerful as traits and worked well. Though I don't think insane helps too much on the social side, unless you give them enough free time to talk to their "friends" the lamp, table etc, which I don't lol. Having a computer to chat on, troll the forums, gives just as much social as talking to yourself :)
Worked on painting skill and getting gardening up asap, then painted and wrote books for money. Got to about 8k per day from my books, then discovered how well "painting from reference" paintings sell so I spent the last few days doing that and plastering them all over the walls of my tiny abode to bring value up. Got a bit of a penchant for painting risque self portraits at the end there (with the aid of surrounding myself with mirrors) haha, but they all had such a great value I couldn't help myself :P
Might try it again at some stage with no rewards and aging to normal (I played with aging on long) and see how I go. I only purchased traits though, never used any potions. Mostly focused on the skill improving traits, and ofc creative visionary was a must:pensive:
Great challenge though, thank you! :) I had fun!
I'll put my sim and starter house up on the gallery if anyone is interested. Gallery name is Ashaeda, sims name for this challenge is Molly McPherson
