The da Vinci's All You Can Make Buffet

[klop90]

Question just to be sure?

My cooking sim has a chance to catch a fish to sell in the theater to make money.
Is this alowed? I don't think so.

Since the Grim Reaper Challenge went quicker than i had expected, i would like to try this challenge, too. Just one question so I get this right: Does the da Vinci sim have to sell all their own creations, or can the cooking sim sell paintings etc. that their housemate created, too?

Yes the cooking sim can sell paintings etc.

Nope. Cooking, painting, Inventing, and Sculpting.

I'm excited, I think I can do this.  I would like to try this as my first ever scoring challenge.  Please put me on the board.  Thanks!

[Metropolis Man]

Awesome, gerrr00. Thanks for giving the challenges a try. Have fun and good luck.

I'm in. Just got Ambitions a few days ago... lovin' it!

Quick question: Is my cooking sim allowed to join the culinary career as part of her income?

EDIT: Goal: &300,000... (I thought the & symbol looked kind of like the simolean symbol)

Yes.

Yes.

So let me see if i understand this correctly: The cooking sim can earn money by going to work (culinary career only), doing cooking skill opportunities and culinary career opportunities, and by selling the paintings/sculptures/inventions the other sim has made at the consignment store.

Question: Do i have to sell the paintings/sculptures/inventions inside the four weeks where the one sim uses the skill, or can i sell them after i have switched to the next skill? Can i keep consigned items at the consigment store after i switch skills? Is the cooking sim allowed to paint/sculpt/invent, as long as they do not sell their creations?

Correct.

Time constraints do not apply to selling items, only to performing the da Vinci skills. So, you can sell items whenever.

Is the cooking sim allowed to paint/sculpt/invent, as long as they do not sell their creations?

Yes.

I finished this challenge and I have already turned in my scores.  I kept playing.  My da Vinci created a time machine and he and his wife went into the past to try for a baby.  A girl named Sasha wearing cave woman clothes pops out of the machine a day or two after.  That was interesting so they tried again and this time a young adult pops out wearing Middle age clothes.  No going through all the baby, toddler, child routine for this couple. 

I have had couple of people invent and make time machines, but this was the first time children arrived.  Interesting.

I'm in, I thought I had already stated my intent already oh well, luckily I checked

As a response to the Sculpting opportunity glitches where you receive 0 simoleons. It seems as though randomly the opportunities do not give out the cash reward that they promise. I have an opportunity not payout when I distinctly remember getting payment on the same opportunity with other sims. It is very random whether or not the opportunities for sculpting will work. I do not think that keeping track of the ones that don't work will be beneficial because you will likely include every one of them in your list eventually. So far in my challenge I have been very fortunate that they worked.

Mind if I join?

My couple, Paolo and Isabelle Fettuccine, finished with a grand total of $1,172,335.

Those high scores at the top of the leaderboard are fantastic! I'm not sure I could have squeezed out another dime, so seriously great job! I'll look forward to reading some of the strategy when the challenge ends.

[Nyteglori]

Well I finally wrapped this up.  $651,717.

I too am looking forward to learning some strategies since I evidently did not do extremely well.  I had never played with inventing or sculpting before so that isnt too surprising.

I learned alot and had a bit of fun so it was well worth the efforts.    Now on to see what that old Grim Reaper is up to.

Quick question can they salvage items and use them in the house as long as they don't sell them?

Sure, no problem.

I've never played challenges before but I have very challenge oriented gameplay style. I'd like to have a go at this one if it's not too late. Thanks.

[gerrr00]

Done and just in time for the computer guy to come and mess with my computer.  My total 538,882.  Not bad for my first time, i think.  It was fun, can't wait to do another.

[Metropolis Man]

@TheQuietOne — you're in. Good luck and welcome to the forum.

Metro-

My sim just started a fire on their stereo while trying to repair it, and the firemen granted them $540 to cover the loss.  Is this okay, or should I deduct that amount from my final score?

Deduct it from your final score.
