Simfulicious, sorry to hear about your Grandfather. If you ever complete this challenge I would love to hear your score, even if it will not count on the scoreboard.

I never had a grandfather growing up. Only my mother's mother. All others had passed away before I was born. So, I hope you have lots and lots of great memories.

Sorry to hear about you Grandfather simfulicious.

I may turn this challenge in early, its lost whatever fun I found in it. I am about 7 Weeks from finishing, so I am just at the Week 7 - 8 border. I highly doubt I would have made it to the top ten, I am not very competitive, or good at nectar making!

simfulicious · « **Reply #428 on:** March 21, 2010, 09:17:26 AM »

Thank you all so much.

Well I packed in the challenge now!

Heres my excuse for my score...

Bottle and Cork met in College in Business Studies, they formed a partnership, they were almost bankrupt and decided they might as well try one more Business Venture before giving up and borrowing money, years later they managed to get by, they then had their collection valued and it was $96,379 So after ten years of solid nectar making they decided to quit, they now plan to raise a family in a House they built with a small garden and three Nectar Machines in pieces in the basement.

Score : $96,379

Bottles : 615

Time : Week 7, Day 3

I am also in last place on the Table but Its just a game! Right??!??

Edit: Bottle and Cork now have a nice little house they built and got a partnership with the Science Lab. Bottle became pregnant after getting a job in Science, Cork got a promo in Culinary. Life is good for them now! The Vintars then welcomed Jasmine Vintar into the Family!

I made it through!

Week 15, day 2, and despite the fact that I was less than satisfied with the start, when several of my strategies did not turn out the way I expected and I had rotten luck with special seeds (I think there was a single life plant in 15 seeds or something like that), I am more than satisfied with the final outcome: 8,733,633 simoleons worth of homemade nectar sold straight from my nectar cellar

. So anybody who thinks they are not doing well do not worry. I did not get my garden and nectar production going the way I expected it to until well halfway through the challenge, and did not dream of getting anywhere near this value for the longest time. So do not give up prematurely. The value increases dramatically in the last few weeks of the challenge.

Finally finished - this challenge nealy killed me. Both the career and BBII are so much more interesting so it was hard to finish but i got a score of 5,692,993

Metropolis Man · « **Reply #435 on:** March 27, 2010, 02:22:44 PM »

That's a big total, Lena. Well done.

I'm not going to be able to finish this challenge, I unfortunately had to re-install windows so lost all my game progress.

Metropolis Man · « **Reply #437 on:** March 28, 2010, 05:42:15 AM »

Alright, Kaibilly, I'll remove you from the leaderboard.

----------

New to the site so I'm wondering if there's still time to join in on this challenge.

Thanks!

Sure. There's only a week left, but hopefully you can finish. Good luck and welcome to the forums.

Margerita · « **Reply #440 on:** March 30, 2010, 10:08:21 AM »

Hmm, challenge ends in 5 days and I'm still in week 7, looks like I won't be able to finish this one. I will post a score on friday or saturday though.

Wyldman · « **Reply #441 on:** March 30, 2010, 07:10:59 PM »

I'm only on week 2. Looks like I have some work to do on the weekend.

ayuumi · « **Reply #442 on:** March 30, 2010, 08:11:39 PM »

Ooh. I just saw this today and it sounds like a lot of fun.
But I don't think I'll make the deadline unless I mass-play.
Oh well, I think I'll just try this out on my own and see how much I'll end up making.

Good luck to anyone who's still pushing for the last few days.
Awesome challenge idea, anyways. =)

Metropolis Man · « **Reply #443 on:** March 30, 2010, 08:14:23 PM »

Welcome to the forums, ayuumi. Yeah, this one's winding down. Just 5 days left. That's not much.

lianne · « **Reply #444 on:** March 31, 2010, 10:47:58 AM »

I'm done! I really enjoyed this challenge (even though it got slightly tedious at times) and ended up with 5,587,103 simoleons so I think it was worth the effort! Bring on the next one!

Metropolis Man · « **Reply #445 on:** March 31, 2010, 10:52:01 AM »

Nice effort, lianne!

ayuumi · « **Reply #446 on:** March 31, 2010, 08:04:19 PM »

Haha. Thanks!
I guess I'll just keep my eyes open for other ones.

We currently have three other challenges going on that you could play. Check the Challenge Board to see if anything interests you.

Margerita · « **Reply #448 on:** April 01, 2010, 10:22:16 AM »

Right, I'm wrapping this one up now.

At week 8, day two my total is : 300,263.

Now onto finishing the career couples one, that one is so much more fun!

Zylphe · « **Reply #449 on:** April 01, 2010, 11:26:33 AM »

Total: 808,960

After a little over 11 weeks. The game keeps crashing on me... probably because I've been using the 2 and 3 times speed almost constantly and I guess my computer can't keep up. My computer seems to get pretty hot, the fan roars, and the game crashses poof! back to the desktop. Regular speed normally never crashes, at least.
