I spoke of my intent on page 2 and I am not on leaderboard, hmmm, thought I saw my name on there, oh well.  I am in on this one.  No problem ;D

Sorry, Salty. You're good now. I guess my thought of just randomly adding people to the leaderboard backfired.  :D

I'm too n00b to join the challenge, but I do like the idea and will probably try something like this on my own. I'm trying to understand if it's 4 sims in the same town? If so, how do you change households without using Edit Town?

It is 4 sims in the same household, because in challenges, we are not allowed to change households or edit the town or so far I have not seen any challenges that will allow it.  No telling what 4 sims you will come up with.

Thank you. Actually I assume this could turn out quite hard, depending on what random traits the game choses to throw at me. But then again it also means that I get to explore different behaviours, maybe a trait or two I've never tried at all so far. Anyways, I'm so looking forward to the start.

Okay, here we go. I elected to do a completely random photo of my random Sims, the Randomhouse family —



On the left, we've got Adam Randomhouse (Good Sense of Humor, Unflirty, Loner, Hydrophobic, and Born Saleman). LTW: Professional Author
Standing next to Adam is his wife, Claire Randomhouse (Adventurous, Athletic, Easily Impressed, Good Sense of Humor, and Inappropriate). LTW: Seasoned Traveler
To the right of the mailbox we have Tamika Randomhouse, sister of Adam. I know. Kind of weird. (Ambitious, Brave, Evil, Family-Oriented, and Heavy Sleeper). LTW: Emperor of Evil
Finally, on the far right we've got Megan Randomhouse (Artistic, Flirty, Mooch, Natural Cook, Workaholic). LTW: Celebrated 5-Star Chef

Claire and Megan were named after 2 of my daughters. Should be totally crazy. Can't wait to get started.

I made my four.  No weird traits or nothing, basically normal traits.  Only trait that one has is hydrophobic.  I have never done that one, but otherwise, nothing to out of the ordinary.  Shucks, and you can only hit the little dice once, huh.

Well, of course. I put that rule in for myself mainly. Otherwise, I'd be hitting the reroll button eternally until I hit upon what I wanted.  ;D

Metro all ready for the Random Wishmaster and you haven't completed the collectors yet. For shame!

The reality is that the Collector's Challenge may have to be passed up by me. Just not sure yet. I finally have a break on my hands after hammering out 3 articles for the Guide. But, it's been crazy. I have had no time at all for challenges since I picked up Ambitions the day it was released. I only have so much time on my hands and a choice has to be made.

All I'm hearing are excuses Metro. :)

I of course have Ambitions and have yet to try anything ambitions related yet, as I struggle through the annoying changes it brought to my collector challenge. :)

Heh heh. I suppose. But, honest ones at least. :) You never know. There's more than a month left of the Collector's Challenge which is a good hunk of time. This one will be quite time consuming with 100 town days and 100 vacation days combined. Plus 4 Sims. Whew. I want to at least make some headway in this. The Paranormal Profiteer LTW might sidetrack me too if Carl or Pam yank my chain on that one. Too much to do! Calgon, take me away!

OK, it's Friday morning here so I can start. Just went and made my gang. Because it's all random, I guess we are not letting any strategies out by revealing our sims and their traits, so her is my crew.
From left to right we have:
Dottie -Commitment issues, disciplined, dramatic, frugal, kleptomaniac
Rose - Flirty, good, inappropriate, loves the outdoors, technophobe
Charles - Ambitious, artistic, kleptomaniac, over emotional, photographers eye
Claire - Bookworm, dramatic, light sleeper, lucky, neat



There are a couple of traits in there that I don't usually play, so this could be interesting

Definitely not. This is a rare opportunity for everyone to do a little more sharing than usual, so I encourage it. Good luck, Norma.

I'm a little confused. If I take all 4 sims on a 3 day vacation, will it count as 3 days or 12 days?

12 days. You'd basically multiply number of Sims by the number of vacation days to a given vacation total. You have 100 days to work with.

Very much looking forward to starting tomorrow!  I haven't made my sims yet, as I knew once I made them I'd want to play them. hee hee!
