Let's Get Mystical

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Goal
Your Sim wants to discover all the blessings and curses of the 27 mystical relics that can be assembled from pieces found in Selvadorada. Your Sim will need to gather 9 Zazatotol heads, 9 Balampalsoh heads, 9 Totecallama heads, 9 Watcher bases, 9 Chaos bases, 9 Death bases, 9 common crystals, 9 uncommon crystals, and 9 rare crystals. All the crystals will have to be refined. Once a relic is assembled, your Sim will have to activate it on himself or herself to discover the relic's effect. Warning: keep some bone dust handy for the Curse of Death by Poison.


General Challenge Rules

• The General Challenge Rules always apply. If applicable, exceptions will be listed below.

Specific Challenge Rules

• The Jungle Adventures expansion pack is required.
• Create 1 Young Adult Human or Alien Sim.
• No household additions allowed after leaving CAS.

Scoring
Your score is the Total number of different relics you assembled and activated on your Sim. If you were able to assemble and activate all 27 before Week 3, Day 1, 8 AM then use Lena's Spreadsheet to calculate your time.

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 may 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, MarianT, sdhoey, and LenaLJ) 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 is expected to do so in detail.

Oh This sounds good. Just so you know, Lena's spreadsheet is giving an error message.  Thanks

[Ravencloud999]

Well, looks like I'm not participating in this one. Hopefully I can hop back in for the next one.

[Metropolis Man]

@LenaLJ  -- the spreadsheet link is still giving an error.

[LenaLJ]

Thanks for noticing me. It was the link that was wrong in the post here.
Everything is now up and running.

[Metropolis Man]

Thank you, Lena.

• This challenge concludes at Week 3, Day 1, 8 AM.

A slight change in when you will stop this challenge file (and all future challenge files)...

@reggikko  brought to the team's attention that she has seen some minor variation in days for a Sim to age up. Lena also did some testing and saw this as well, so we need to have everyone playing the same amount of time. What we decided to do is basically two full weeks of gameplay, so it won't matter anymore if you start your file and age up to Adult in 10 days, 11 days, or 12 days. You'll stop your file at exactly Week 3, Day 1, 8 AM.

[Ravencloud999]

How can you tell when it's Week 3? Do you just keep track yourself?

[MarianT]

If you have Seasons and start a 28-day season on the 1st of Spring, it's the 15th of Spring. If your seasons are 14 days long, and you start on the 1st of Spring, it's the 1st of Summer, and if you're using 7-day seasons, it's the 1st of Fall.

[Metropolis Man]

Would just opening up the Household Calendar window be easier?

[LenaLJ]

When starting the game its Week 1, Sunday, 8 AM
Next Sunday would be Week 2, Sunday and so forth.

[Metropolis Man]

A last-minute ban added before this event goes live tomorrow --

• Cloning is banned.

[Ravencloud999]

Ok, thank you Lena. I'll just keep track myself.

Can we play with StangerVille installed?

Can we play with StangerVille installed?
