Welcome to the forums, outburst. Good luck in the challenge.

Well, folks... I'm here to tell you that Metro will be extremely hard to beat! I just finished up this challenge and my total sales for nectar made by Hercules and Hebe Argos is $1,532,698. Metro had a better strategy and managed his garden better than I did. I saved a copy of this file while they were Young Adults, so now I'm going to let them have BABIES!!! Cute purple and black/blue haired BABIES!!

Congrats Pam on a nice finish. Can't wait for you to tell us stories about your babies!

Metropolis Man · « **Reply #228 on:** January 30, 2010, 06:08:55 AM »

Well done, Pam! Let's see screenshots of those little ones right here in this thread when the happy moment arrives.

I have just started! Astarte and Lu Yan are doing well and getting ready to go to France, they are both very excited for the trip!

Well done on finishing Pam - it's taking me a little longer than I thought, I'm currently on day 92. Hopefully I will finish either today or tomorrow. I'm getting sick of the sight of life fruit and nectar makers, and like you can't wait to get back to the normality of a houseful of toddlers and babies. It's an enjoyable challenge, but you have to stay so focused - going back to babies sounds like a good choice for a while

I'm on week 10 now, and getting a bit sick of gardening especially! I know I won't do so well since I didn't get the pomegranates at the start, and I know I made some mistakes at the start as far as my garden is concerned, but it's been a good learning experience! Should be interesting how it comes out at the end!

Bacchus is ready to admit that "Father probably does know best!"
The highlight of the whole challenge for both him and Ariadne was hitting elderhood and finally being able to woohoo for the first time

Despite a valiant effort they only managed $4,630,612. I say only, because it felt like more

Well done Metro, that's some benchmark you've set!

Thanks Metro! Little Rhea and Persephone have just been born. I'll post shots when they become toddlers.

meamalso2 · « **Reply #234 on:** January 30, 2010, 07:47:14 PM »

I should say congrats Pam, good to hear Rhea and Persephone are doing well!

Also good job mordana666!

My sims are rilled up, Astarte wrote in her jornal:
"The trip to France was great, I reached level *** of nectar making and was able to plant 19 different kinds of plants as soon as I got back. Unfortunately, we will not be able to return to France for some time as we produce nectar from our new machines. Zeus and Hera try to proclaim their power by the value of the nectar they produced in only 100 days! My husband Lu Yan is the true god of nectar and will put these foolish gods back in their places!"-edited for this forum

Astarte and Lu Yan are brutal in their approach, it will be interesting to see how they do!

Congratulations Mordana! That's a very excellent score and you came much closer to Metro than I did. Good job!

Metropolis Man · « **Reply #236 on:** January 30, 2010, 09:27:23 PM »

Nice job, mordana. No, scratch that — great job! I'd be lying if I didn't say I was sweating a bit while waiting for your update today given the beat down you handed me in Perfectly Happy!

mordana666 · « **Reply #237 on:** January 30, 2010, 09:48:13 PM »

Thanks Pam, meamalso2 and Metro. It was a great challenge, and now I've completed it I have to say luck is a part, but it really does rely on good gameplay too. Even with micro-management I still think any player will find it difficult to beat your score Metro.

We'll see. The bar is definitely set pretty high. But, I think I could beat it if given another chance, so I'm pretty sure someone else can too.

Toddlers!! Woot!

This is Persephone Argos. She has her father's hair and her mother's eyes.

And this one is her twin sister, Rhea. She has both her mother's hair and eyes.

@Pam — those little one's eyes are beautiful!

Samoht04 is a fellow Brit by the sound of things? 5p is 5 pence, or a 20th of a British pound. They're really small and fiddly, like an American dime, so a lot of us Brits save tham in jars to help pay for the site fees of their holiday caravan Well that's what I do with mine anyways.

Yeah I am (Caravan Sites?!), Sorry I didn't get back to you on that Pam, school and Homework got in the way!

Good looking Toddlers there Pam! How old are your couple?

I'll give it a go!

Umm Metro I think my name has gone of the board? Just making sure you know Im still interested, and that if and when I upload my score no-one is offended or whatever.

Sorry, my friend. Must have vanished when I switched to the table format and your row got accidentally deleted. You're back in.

AriaGirl77 · « **Reply #245 on:** January 31, 2010, 12:56:08 PM »

Ok, I'm officially on week 13. WHEW!

Adorable twinks Pam!

samoht04 · « **Reply #246 on:** January 31, 2010, 01:41:30 PM »

Thanks, no worries, I just didn't want to be called a cheat or anything.

I want to join in on the challenge.

Okay, omega — welcome to this challenge and good luck.

Week 7, day 2. Crazy. I was having tons of fun, but now I'm realizing how unsuccessful and unproductive I've been. I only got on a proper rhythm with the life fruit a couple sim days ago, and my score isn't looking good right now. Hopefully, my initial strategy of "prepare en masse" will really start to kick in, now.

Question- Is midlife crisis okay to use?
