Sadly, my game broke before I could finish (the neighborhood started acting wonky and then disappeared entirely from the choice screen).  That's okay--I wasn't going to finish by Sunday, anyway.  Fortunately, since the game was acting up, I wrote down some things just before unplayability set in.

Week 9, Day 1
and 32 vacation days

Kate 143,209
Marilyn 173,714
Roger 160,385
Sandra 212,739

Total 690,047

I really liked this challenge--it forced me to play Sims with traits that I never would have chosen myself.

Time to reload!

I'm just going to post my score as it is, since my sister just had a baby this morning, so I don't think I'll be able to get any further. The Bedwin Family finished as follows:

Wulfric Bedwin 96,520
Good Sense of Humor, Great Kisser, Dramatic, Charismatic, Green Thumb
LTW Super Popular

Christine Bedwin 101,830
Dramatic, Family-Oriented, Party Animal, Perfectionist, Friendly
LTW Perfect Mind, Perfect Body

Rachel Bedwin 100,470
No Sense of Humor, Virtuoso, Handy, Grumpy, Kleptomaniac
LTW The Tinkerer

Alleyne Bedwin 76,741
Hates the Outdoors, Workaholic, Clumsy, Excitable, Good
LTW CEO of MegaCorporation

I only got to Week 5 day 7 with 38 Vacation Days. Life was just too crazy during this challange to allow me the play time I really needed. And since I knew I wasn't going to finish I started playing around with the Immortal Dynasty Challange :) Oh well, it was fun to play around with the different traits I've never used!

Well, this is the end of the road for my Perma-Smile family. I reached Week 9, Day 1 with 73 vacation days played.

Darek Flames: Leader of the Free World - ambitious, charismatic, family oriented, handy, insane. Points: 223,040
Keith Pixel: Hit Movie Composer - born salesman, coward, family oriented, inappropriate, virtuoso. Points: 251,328
Roxanne Eddie: Renaissance Sim - childish, coward, eco-friendly, loser, workaholic. Points: 296,361
Patrick Speedster: Perfect Private Aquarium - angler, dislikes children, excitable, inappropriate, unflirty. Points: 180,677

I believe that's a small grand total of 951,406.

And now I'm tired and going to bed. I work this weekend.

Til next time,

Unfortunately I developed a problem I can't seem to figure out. A Sim will go on vacation and when it comes time to leave, they won't go home. I have had this happen with another neighborhood as well and I have tried to figure out or find a solution, but nothing yet.
So to make a long story short (I know, too late ;)), I will not be able to complete this challenge. If anyone knows what to do about the trapped Sims, please let me know.

Thanks,
Mutt

Mutt, can you reload an earlier save from before your trapped Sim went on vacation?

There is pretty much no way I'm going to finish before tomorrow. So, I guess it stops here for me!  I was able to get most of the way through, though -- 81 vacation days and my Sims are at Week 9, Day 2.

Sim 1: 294,419
Sim 2: 448, 431
Sim 3: 295,191
Sim 4: 423,040

Yeah, Metro...I'm sorry that I just realized I never moved my wishmaster family over from my old computer to my new one, so if you would like me to post a score, it would look something like this:

Sim 1:  0
Sim 2:  0
Sim 3:  0
Sim 4:  0
 :D

Please take me off the list.  Thanks, you're the best!  ;D

Unfortunately I wasn´t able to finish this one, but I did it to week 10 day 7 with 44 days of vacation.
My Sims never did what I wanted cause whenever I tried to trigger special wishes they didn´t come up but other ones did when I did´t expect ;)

Sherlock Wunsch: loser, over emotional, computer whiz, perceptive, family oriented, LTW Pervasive Private Eye, 355,435 points
Agatha Wunsch: born salesman, hot headed, clumsy, bookworm, couch potato, LTW illustrious author, 405,534 points
Albert Wunsch: can´t stand art, eccentric, eco friendly, handy, kleptomaniac, LTW the tinkerer, 298,712 points
Jane Wunsch: over emotional, unlucky, neurotic, can´t stand art, absent minded, LTW international super spy, 312,867 points

Total points: 1,372,548

I really liked this challenge and I surely will play it again just for fun, but it really was long. I am looking forward for next years challenges.

btw: please ignore any mistakes in spelling or grammar, I am no native english speaker.

I have to resign on this challenge too, there is no way I could finished it on time, only 8 weeks done, it took me way too much time, but I did enjoy the challenge. And it inspire me to experiment with carter displey as well as to explore nectar recepies, so thank you on that.

With 3.5 hours realtime left before the end of this challenge, I have actually made it through. I learned more than i ever wanted to know about wishes, saw a few wishes i had never seen before (and several error messages i had not seen either and hope never to see again ;) ), and came a lot closer to Metro's score than I thought possible. I actually enjoyed the group and would consider to keep them if the stupid savegame were more stable, but i ended up saving to a different save game about twice a sim-game and still had crashes and/or save and load errors every few sim-days over the last few game weeks >:( . But I did make it through (and thanks to saving often did not have to replay too many sim hours ;) ).

Tom Tailor - 635,669 points
Jette Joop - 790,289 points
Betty Barkley - 558,248 points
Wendy Warhol - 589,470 points

Nicely, done, ik. Super score. Looks like your #2 Sim will have the individual highest happiness points, but it ain't over till it's over, as the saying goes. TheCub and Delgar are very strong players and they're still unaccounted for.

Metro, I know I have already posted a score ( I was unsure if I would have internet access through the weekend).  May I update my score as I have continued to play?  If not, no big deal.

You don't have to worry about me. I haven't even finished Week 7 yet. :D

I actually gave up a few days ago when I realized I wouldn't have enough time, but I've since changed my mind and I'm going to stick with it until the deadline. Let's see how well I can do in 4 1/2 hours. If I'm lucky I might finish in the upper half of the leader board.

Then midnight for you is in a little less than 4 hours. A Challenge's ending date is based on when time runs out in your local time. So, you would need to post results very soon.
