Trade Off - TS4 Game-play Challenge by EQCreations
Introduction: The Trade Off challenge borrows elements from other game-play challenges. It is a type of rotational challenge with members in the same household. It begins simply with two Sims tha...
So week 2 was fun. I don't know how long updates will be recieved so I'll put their stories and pictures in spoilers cause I can get chatty :). I'll say here that by the end of the week they had about 16250 in funds. I did a house upgrade and some furniture upgrades and went down to about 8K. They had at least one promotion each and I think Felix (controlled sim) may have had two. I think the thing I like most about this challenge is I'm revisiting traits and careers I haven't done in awhile. Seeing things I missed before also. I love anticipating freeplay Sunday, because that's the day I like to give them their rewards and really take stock of what's happened. I also like seeing the uncontrolled sim and being I guess slightly anxious or just interested in what they are doing. I'm a pretty big micromanager so this is good for me. I can do this and not face a long, long challenge. I know this has an end point that's not too far away.
Anyway stories/thoughts/pictures on their week. Felix controlled:
I wanted to really work on getting Felix's painting up and he has reached level 7 in painting skill by the communal Sunday. He also painted two masterpieces by Sunday. I wanted to skill him some in mechanical too because it's a goal of mine to later go down the nerd brain path on both of them. So he did a few skill levels at the library then did an upgrade or two in his bathroom.. I also found out that tending gardening gives Felix fun.. is it the neat trait? The squeamish and neat trait are interesting in combination. Felix cleans and loves that but is also grossed out by it. He also gets fun from tending garden which I didn't know happened. I guess that's linked to the neat trait.
He went to work everyday he was suppose too and mostly stayed on top of his needs once they hit yellow. He had a shower break and I used the gnome lot trait to fix it the next day. He was of course messy.. mostly in his room though as he goes to eat in there while watching tv. The main thing he did autonomously that was watch tv .. I guess play on the computer and socialize there and also he did plant research on his own. I had to throw in a shot of his failed love day experience. He and Felix were choked up over having a bad holiday. Since I controlled Felix I could easily override his sorrow... but poor Oscar wallowed in it. I've decided to get Oscar a gf (and part of me says make Felix and Oscar lovers), so I'm kind of warring with myself. I know I'm getting Oscar a guitar though and Felix a keyboard. I want to see if once I skill them if they will use them autonomously also. Oh I also had to put a picture in this thread I started about the way townies dress. If I decide to get Oscar a gf it might be Mrs Munch https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/955245/oh-yeah-townie-fashion-at-its-finest#latest
