@CathyTea: I know hahaha. It's funny because I've never had a sim light anything on fire in any other game I've played so far and then two minutes into this one ... catastrophe struck haha!
What a good idea, though, to skill them up in logic! I didn't even think of that, I just decided to focus on cooking like the creator of the challenge suggested in the first post. Look where that got me, though, hahaha.
Yes, actually, all of these challenges are really hard for me! I have such loner sims, lmao. In TS3 my Sims could go days without leaving the house, they were always writers or painters or something solitary like that. So actually even getting my Sims to go out and collect items/find plants (for the first Gen) etc was out of my comfort zone. I love it though, it's really opening up the game for me and pushing my limits. I've never done Serial Romance either because of all the effort it takes to make friends, initiate romances and all that ... but now that I've been getting used to playing ways I never have before, I'm really looking forward to it!
