2018 Handiness World Championships

2018 Handiness World Championships



Goal
This event will require a balancing act of making as much money as possible selling woodworking items and also taking time away from that in order to boost your multiplier via performing unique upgrades.

General Challenge Rules
The General Challenge Rules always apply.

Specific Challenge Rules
  • Create one Young Adult Human or Alien Sim (and no turning into a Vampire later).
  • The Sims 4 Laundry Day Stuff Pack is banned.
  • No Penny Pixies lot trait.
  • No adding to the household.
  • You are allowed to use the Buydebug cheat for the sole purpose of purchasing a satellite to prevent abductions.
  • All income is restricted to selling Woodworking items only made by your Sim via inventory - no retail stores allowed.
  • Selling items purchased to level up handiness is not allowed.
  • Be careful NOT to complete Fabulously Wealthy because the investment income is not allowed.
  • This challenge ends when your Sim ages up to Adult.

Scoring

Scoring is a combination of your Household Funds multiplied by a percentage to indicate the number of unique upgrades you have made. You start the challenge with a multiplier of 1.00 and for each unique upgrade (a unique upgrade has its own name) you make 2% (.02) is added to the multiplier. NOTE: All upgrades in the game are eligible, not just handiness ones.

When your Sim ages up to Adult, pause your game and note your Household Funds. Multiply that figure by the Unique Upgrades multiplier for your Total

Scoring Example = Your Sim has 100,000 simoleans when they age up to Adult. They have also completed 23 unique upgrades.
Total = 100,000 X 1.46 = 146,000

Important: You are responsible for keeping a list of all unique upgrades for your UU Multiplier. The team may ask you to provide this information, but do not list them when you provide your final score. Uniques Upgrades are upgrades that have different names. So, even though Fridge of Steel (Refrigerator) and Firaxium Wiring (TV) both make an item unbreakable - both can be counted towards your multiplier. You would not be able to count two different "Self Cleaning" upgrades to two different items if Self Cleaning was the exact name of the upgrade. But, if you did Self-Cleaning for the sink and Self-Cleaning Wall Coating for the Shower, then those have different names and both can be counted.

Ch-Ch-Changes
The team does not want to edit and make changes to the ruleset once this event goes live, but we may have to. If an exploit is brought to our attention or we discover something else we reserve the right to ask affected players to redo their effort.

Have Questions?
Please think hard before you ask in the challenge thread because it may be strategy. What you may consider an innocent question could cause another player to go — “oh, I did not think of doing that.” It’s always safer to PM everyone on the team (Metro, sdhoey, LenaLJ, and MarianT) for clarifications. Thanks.

And the Winner is...
After this event has closed everyone is encouraged to discuss how they approached the event, but the winner especially is expected to do so in detail.

No. Pets occupy a household member slot, so you're adding to the household which you cannot do in this event.

I claim innocence!

I was planning/practicing for the Handiness challenge and came up with a question.  There is a lot trait called Penny Pixels.

It was originally supposed to be "Penny Pixies," but the devs misspelled it.   Definitely....probably....maybe.  ;)
I prefer the Penny Pixies myself.

No head hanging in here over pixels. It's the Sims after all.

I agree, no shame! They are, in fact, pixelated pixies, so everyone's right. Right?

Selling items purchased to lvl up handiness?  I'm confused. Can you sell anything else you may get through inventory?
