The Centurian's Solo Challenge

[Metropolis Man]

The Centurian's Solo Challenge

The goal of the Centurian Challenge is simple: acquire as much Net Worth (Furnished Lot Value + Household Funds) and Lifetime Happiness Points (spent and unspent) as possible in 100 days.

RULES

1. Create a new young adult sim with the lifespan option set to "Long." This is a solo challenge, so no marriages. You're only playing this one sim.

2. Build a house or move into an existing home — doesn't matter. Change homes as often as you want.

3. No cheats or modifications.

4. No traveling allowed.

5. The challenge ends at the end of your sim's 100th day (15 weeks, 2 days).

SCORE

Your score is your total Net Worth (Furnished Lot Value in Buy Mode + Household Funds) + Total Lifetime Happiness Points (spent and unspent) at the end of your sim's 100th day.

Good luck, everyone!

Very nice challenge!  Is there a way to tell how many days the Sim has lived without having to keep count of the days?

Thanks, Pam. I hope you participate. I think I'll be doing a writer for the challenge since I've never done one. As to your question — well, it would just be the number of weeks and days played listed right under the Lifetime Wish.

Hehe, I gues this can only lead to more stories and less free time

I decided to not do a writer and created a guitarist for this challenge. Guitarists probably don't earn quite as much as painters and writers, but I did a guitarist before, had lots of fun with him and with the right traits he was always happy. So, maybe I can make up for the lack of simoleans with more Happiness Points.

Anyway, I'll post an update to the table at the 25 day mark.

Just a little update on my progress in this challenge. I flip-flopped a couple of times with different characters, and made a final decision on a painter. I named him after well-known fantasy painter Frank Frazetta. Frank just finished his 10th day and achieved the Brushmaster challenge. So, he'll be finished with small paintings and moving up to large ones for more money. He's at level 9 in his skill and about 1/3 of the way to mastery. He pretty much eats Autumn Salad every meal, but the last time he made it it was nice quality, so that's all that's important — just a little mood boost. I want to get him the Super Creative reward soon, so I really need to earn the next 12k Lifetime Happiness points fast.

I decided to go ahead and do this challenge!  My Sim is named Trinity.  Her traits are Bookworm, Ambitious, Charismatic, Natural Cook, and Computer Whiz.  Her Lifetime Wish is Culinary Librarian.  Cooking will be her hobby, but she wants to work in Journalism.  She'll also write books on the side for more money.  I usually play in Sunset Valley, but I'm playing Riverview.  It will be a change of pace for me.  She bought a small home that has a junked car on the lot next to her.  Let's hope she's successful enough to move to a nicer part of town.

Oh, Pam...that's awesome! I'm so happy you're doing this challenge. I'll be really curious to see how my numbers stack up against yours. It's my first painter, so I'm sure I'm making a few mistakes.

[Pam]

You're doing better than me at the first, that's for sure.  I'm on the beginning of week 2, day 1 and Trinity's net worth is $13,248.  Her happiness points are 6,154.  She had a burgler, but the stolen items were returned, thank goodness!  She's gotten one promotion, which puts her at level 2 of the journalism career track.  I'm enjoying the challenge!

Speaking of Happiness Pts...you probably already know this, but I just discovered only yesterday that by hovering the cursor over the treasure box, one gets the total earned Happiness Pts — spent and unspent. That's good because that's the number you want in this challenge, so there's no adding involved (I hate math )
