It is finally the end of the Autumn/Fall term in my game.
My seasons are set for the longest amount of days at 28.
Despite the long length, it did take them all of those days to acquire the 5 spells, 3 potions, and 2 levels of Divination (Medium skill).
This is because of the seven hours of school each day.
I am going to try a mod that let sims come home early or late, depending how well they are doing in school.
My students will come home at 1:00 instead of 3:00.
The end of term is when my students competitions are held.
They already had the one for magic dueling. Today it was potions.
The first attempt was a fail
I thought I could have them make a simple potion and the differences in yield and quality would determine a winner.
My second attempt was better, using experimentation instead of brewing a particular potion, but it has flaws.
This time I had three criteria: speed, the first one to make a potion. Value, the cost of the potion, and whether the potion was simple or advanced.
The main problem was it was partly down to luck.
A sim could have been previously experimenting with potions and will finish in a few second because of where they where when they last experimented. While a sim who had not would be starting the process from he beginning and take a long time. That's why I added the value and potion level criteria.
With the first term and competition complete, I crunched the numbers to discover where the houses stand in pursuit of the house cup. Hufflepuff is in the lead. Thanks to Monique's ability to stay out of trouble while also doing well in the competitions.
I am using the shields to show house cup progress.
The house that is in the lead has a large version of their shield placed in the center.
The house that is in second place is at the top, while third and fourth are at the bottom, left to right.
Hufflepuff is gunning for you, Slytherins.

These two are sitting it out because, this time, one student is allowed the represent their house.
The problem here is everyone had high yields at excellent quality.
There was no winner. Other than the school with all the surplus potions that were made.
So I decided to have them all learn an advanced potion, one they would all be making for the first time.
I thought there would be some failures and variation in yield and quality. Nope, same as with the basic potion. High yield, high quality by everyone.

The prize this time are wands.
There is a first,second and third place prize. I should go back an award Monique, and Marielle brooms too for their places in the competition.
As before, Michelle and Nanami are on the sidelines.
Monique finished first with an advanced potion, 11th in the spell book.
That's pretty good, considering she also did it first.
Pressure.
Go away, Irma Pince.
She is in the middle of a competition.
Who knows how that might effect things.
Cedric finished second and looks very surprised that he did.
Edgar finished his soon after.
He also produces the same potion that Monique made.
Which means our super student is last.
I don't believe she is taking this seriously.
She needs to brew something astounding to win this.
Finally!
She makes the same potion as Monique and Edgar.
Lucky for her Cedric created a Nausea potion which is less advanced and puts him in last place.
Monique places first and Miraelle places third.
Enjoy your new wands.
I prefer the crystal wand.
