[Metropolis Man]

52 * .86 = 44.7

You just drop the decimal instead of rounding up.

Wow. 4 finishers already. I'll tear myself away from Rift and try and knock this out before next week.

[Catarra Nightshade]

Finished! That was fun. I practiced, adjusted a few things, and plunged in. I know a few things I would do differently next time, but I am quite proud of myself regardless.

Sim: Bella Tinker (The Sim version of a certain Disney Pixy.)
Number of Upgrades: 65
Percentage of Unique Upgrades: 86%

Math: 65 x .86 = 55.9

Total: 56

Well I've finished the first challenge.  Wish I would have practiced before I started but I know next time what to do to improve. 

Sims Name -  Vince Kist

Have no idea what I'm doing, but after being outta action for a year I'm looking forward to getting back into the game and the community with this challenge. 

[iCastl]

Almost done! Week 4 day 2.... But taking a short break

EDIT: DONE! That was tough, but fun nonetheless

Caesar Fix managed to
Upgrade 101 objects,
With 96% of them being unique.

So 101*.96= 96.96 

FINAL SCORE: 97

It's a shame, I'd done alot better in my practice :S but now I know what I could have done to have had a better score

[Raventiger]

Well it's done, I scored a massive total of *wait for it... ;p* 6.


Ok I know we can't talk about strategy whilst the challenge is going on, but can we discuss afterwards? Cause I'd really like to improve in my gameplay.  All in all though I had a great deal of fun. Thanks to Metro for a great challenge and I wish my fellow players all the very best of luck.

Cheers,

Raven

Err.. wow!? Do you all play on super-fast speed or something? Hansyn Handyman is only on day four! I better get going....

I'm a stay at home mom. LOL After the house is clean, this is all I do until for like 6 hours until the little one is home from school. Good luck

[Darkeroid]

Yup!
A lot more than 80% of the time I'm in speed 3.The rest of the time I'm in normal speed(speed 1).wish there was a speed 4 like in The Sims 1 and 2.

[chemeia]

I'm nearly done, hope to finish today during nap time.  I do play on superfast most of the time. 

[BACKDROPsilhouette]

I'm a herp and always thought that last speed setting was four . . . one day I realized the reason it paused all the time was that it just sped through current actions. [/stupid] It's still a fantastic feature, though!

I've never done anything like this, so I figure I'll give it a go. I'm going to work out how to approach it first, then I'll begin.

[Metropolis Man]

Well it's done, I scored a massive total of *wait for it... ;p* 6.

I need you to post your score as others have done — i.e. listing the components.

Two probably quite dense questions:

1) I don't have World Adventures installed, does that affect anything other than not being able to travel and upgrade in those areas?

2) Do I need to sign up anywhere or just post a score? I couldn't find anywhere obvious to, so I'm assuming it's just post score in here.

Sorry, I haven't been playing long!

No.

Correct. Just post a score. Good luck.

[Agent Pylartes]

This certainly sounds like fun, I will give it a try. The husband from my oldest savegame had the handiness skill maxed, but I haven't played a tinker for quite some time since then. Already have some basic ideas for a strategy (which I obviously can't discuss at the moment), so I'm curious how far my sim will get.

No.

Actually, I'd think it does... Because when you go n vacation your game freezes for the time in which you're away  so in other words, you don't just get 5weeks but 5 weeks plus the time from the 3 vacations to upgrade objetcs, hence, the score for a non WA player should be considerably low compared to one  who does  have it.

But, correct me if I'm wrong

Good point. I felt it unnecessary to state the obvious, but if ArianaJade does not have WA, then she may be unaware of that.

Lucky you and your sweet little one! My mom's always complaining about me playing too much Sims. And my sister keeps telling me I'm too old for playing Sims (almost 15 )

Err.. wow!? Do you all play on super-fast speed or something? Hansyn Handyman is only on day four! I better get going....

I was on super speed the whole time! Guess the only minutes I was on normal speed were the ones before 11:59 P.M of day 7,week 4

Sorry Metro, I finished late last night and had a bit of brain freeze.  Here's the score components

Number of Upgrades:  24
Unique Upgrade %:  29%
Total:  6

As an aside, from reading other posts I've learnt one area where I could have improved my score, looking forward to learning more.

Raven
