The Crazy Eights Collector's Challenge

[Metropolis Man]

avpino, welcome to the forums and good luck in the challenge!

[avpino]

Thanks, Metropolis Man.

Quick question, though.

I know we can't use the Lifetime Reward Moodlet Manager, but does that mean we also can't use the Lifetime Reward Collection Helper?

[Metropolis Man]

Absolutely not. Any sane player would be gunning for that little beauty asap!

I must be insane then

[avpino]

As soon as they get the points for it, you mean. I get it now. I was just wondering about that. Thanks.

[LivvieLove]

Guess I'm insane too!

Hey everyone, this is my first challenge on this site and I'd like to sign up, too!
This is so much more fun than "just" playing. Thanks a lot!

I would like to sign up for the challenge.

[Metropolis Man]

Okay, Mutt, you're in. And welcome to the forums.

[Mutt]

Thanks Metropolis Man. This is going to be my first challenge, it sounds like fun.

[HelenP]

I'm in, I think I've got my strategy sorted, now to make my challenge Sim.

[Joria]

Should I?  Shouldn't I?  Hmmmm.  Just how insane do you have to be?  OK!  I'm in.  Better late than never I guess.

Question though.  You don't have to like start with darned near zero simoleons like you do for the Legacy challenges do you?  I mean, you can buy a little house that's part of the town and work from there, right?  And what about LTW?  Do you have to worry about completing them or just the collections?

Great. You're in.

No. Legacy rules are for Legacies. You start with the standard amount of simoleans and you can build or buy. Your choice. Completing Lifetime Wishes is totally up to you.

I had a blast with this challenge and finally finished.  The Rainbow skull cut gem is what hung me up.  It took me forever to find the last 4 rainbow gems!  But that's not why I've got such a bad score.  I just took my time and enjoyed it. 

Week 13, day 3
26 vacation days

By my count, that's 113 days!

Since I know I'm not going to run out of timem is it ok to leave aging on? It's just that I'm dabbling in the wishmaster's quartet at the same time (really need a break from those 4 sims!) and aging needs to be on for that one.

Okay, Nancy, that's fine.

[alyssa.cole]

I'm in for this one. I'm a big fan of collecting, and I like how diverse the lists are!

[Joria]

Is the klepto trait allowed or no?

[Metropolis Man]

Is the klepto trait allowed or no?

It's not banned. However, read the description of the Snob Collection very carefully. Your Sim has to purchase those items. Not steal them.

[Ricker]

I'd like to get added to this one. 

[howrseluver1999]

count me in for the wine and dine one

[TommyT]

count me in for the wine and dine one

It's a total package, all 8 tasks must be accomplished

[Scout]

Add me too please.

I've never done any collecting, smelting, gem cutting or anything of the sort. But I've been reading the guides which are going to help a lot. I've even managed to piece together a plan, probably not a great plan, but a plan nonetheless.

It's just that I'm dabbling in the wishmaster's quartet at the same time (really need a break from those 4 sims!) and aging needs to be on for that one.

Me too. I need a break from them and their demanding selves. Sadly I'll need to turn aging on and off as I can't guarantee not running out of time collecting. But that's just me.

Was just wondering.  My Sim does not have that trait but was thinking it would make it so much easier at the start to obtain the cash to do the rest.  However, I made enough cash with other options to get my Carter's fired up.  Personally, I think it SHOULD be banned.
