Wow, that's a super score Blackrosea, congratulations! Really looking forward to seeing your strategy.
Here is mine:
Traits I chose were bookworm, genius (to gain logic skill quick smart), slob (not to waste time showering & getting a bad moodlet), overemotional & ambitious (to gain LTR points quickly). I created a basic small house in a central location in town with free floor & wall covering which I recoloured to my liking to save money and bought a toilet. Then I only bought other stuff if I was given a wish for them to gain points. I bought enough maui beans to last 2 weeks and only ate those which means I didn’t have to sleep at all. I spent the first couple of days in the library powering through logic books so that when I started my ghost hunter career I went straight to L5. Then just continued fulfilling easy wishes, skilling logic and doing jobs until I got to L10 by the end of the first week. I got lots of LTH points for maxing logic and completing my lifetime wish meant my mood meter was maxed for the rest of the 2nd week. YAY!
I got the following LTH rewards in this order: entrepreneurial mindset (to get to L10 faster), professional simoleon booster (to get more money from ghost sales), opportunistic (this was wasted as I didn’t get one ghost hunter opportunity the whole time), multitasker (again to help get to L10 faster), steel bladder, no bills ever (not to erode my household funds) and dirt defiant after I had a last shower at the fire station (to get rid of the smelly moodlet as my bar was in the red all the time). I had lots of LTH points left but I couldn’t think of what else would be worth buying to help my Simmy. I got friendly with ghosts on jobs before banishing them to keep my social meter full and get positive moodlets for making new friends.
Once I got the ghost locating device, the 2nd week was spent scanning for and bagging ghosts. This was easy by using map view to see where they were. I didn’t sleep, just popped a maui bean when the buzz wore off from the previous one. I avoided community investigations in the 2nd week as I didn’t get any ghosts to sell from those. I don’t know what my ghosts would have been worth without investing in the professional simoleon booster reward, but I was happy with ending on $54,737.
I managed 2 x old bingos, 6 x kind, 4 x friendly, 6 x frightened and 2 x lost (56 points) without needing the free “X” from the awards. The 5 service awards I got I used to finish off the more lucrative bingo combinations: 1 x old bingo (8 points) and 4 x jealous bingos (28 points). Total = 92
Thanks to the challenge team for such a fun tournament so far and to all those kind people on this forum and on SimsWiki for sharing their tips & tricks.
