I'm by no means an expert Simmer, but I'm going to give it my best shot. Mostly, I'm thrilled at the prospect of broadening my horizons in the game because I always tend to play the same sorts of sims in the same sorts of situations. If I can manage this one, I'm on to the prosperity challenge next. Wish me luck!<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Contents</span><br /><br /><a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-1.html">Day 1</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-2.html">Day 2</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-3.html">Day 3</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-4.html">Day 4</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-5.html">Day 5</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-6.html">Day 6</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-7.html">Day 7</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-8.html">Day 8</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-9.html">Day 9</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-10.html">Day 10</a> //<br /><a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-11.html">Day 11</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-12.html">Day 12</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-13.html">Day 13</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-14.html">Day 14</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-15.html">Day 15</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-16.html">Day 16</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-17.html">Day 17</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-18.html">Day 18</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-19.html">Day 19</a> //<br /><a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-20.html">Day 20</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-21.html">Day 21</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-22.html">Day 22</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-23.html">Day 23</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-24.html">Day 24</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-25.html">Day 25</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/01/days-26-and-27.html">Days 26 and 27</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-28.html">Day 28</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-29.html">Day 29</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/02/day-30.html">Day 30</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/03/day-31.html">Day 31</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/03/day-32.html">Day 32</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/03/day-33.html">Day 33</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/03/day-34.html">Day 34</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/03/day-35.html">Day 35</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/03/day-36.html">Day 36</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/03/day-37.html">Day 37</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/03/day-38.html">Day 38</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/03/day-39.html">Day 39</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/03/day-40.html">Day 40</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/03/day-41.html">Day 41</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/03/week-6_7522.html">Week 6</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/03/week-6_22.html">Week 7</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/03/week-6.html">Week 8</a> // <a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/03/week-9.html">Week 9</a><br /><br /><a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/03/epilogue.html">EPILOGUE</a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">AFTERWORD<br /><br />Round 1<br /></span><a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/08/johnson-round-1.html">Johnson</a><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span><a href="http://skeasyplateau.blogspot.com/2009/08/page-round-1.html"><span>Page</span></a><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span>SKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16255505963845172695noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3008744175756664684.post-76096966972542727282009-08-22T14:38:00.000-07:002009-08-22T15:00:42.103-07:00Page - Round 1<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg359/skeasyplateau/Asylum%20Challenge/Page%20Round%201/page.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

But before she could have an anniversary, she needed a boyfriend who would quickly become a husband. Since she didn't have time to screw around, she paid the gypsy matchmaker the cool five thousand simoleons. Her first match was a little old for her tastes, but the second time, the gypsy got it just right. This is Juan Reamon. He really has no choice about marrying Julie.

She wants to reach the top of her career, but in order to do so, she's got to get one more cooking point, two more logic points, two more cleaning points, and earn four more friends. Sheesh!

Trust me, you really have to. I think it's even in the rules. I mean, with no career rewards or aspiration rewards allowed, no maid, no gardener, no help of any sort, your sims will most definitely die before they get out of the asylum. Here I am on day 35, and I'd say I'm only maybe 65-70% done. I think my sims would be dead already. Just a little tip from me to you.<br /><br />Anway, on to day 35!<br /><br />Jared and Elektra got healthy, but thanks to many more hours spent outside stomping roaches in the cold instead of lying down and getting well, three of them just got sick again.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg359/skeasyplateau/Asylum%20Challenge/Day%2035/healthyyay.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 279px; height: 72px;" src="http://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg359/skeasyplateau/Asylum%20Challenge/Day%2035/healthyyay.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg359/skeasyplateau/Asylum%20Challenge/Day%2035/healthyagain.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 279px; height: 69px;" src="http://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg359/skeasyplateau/Asylum%20Challenge/Day%2035/healthyagain.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg359/skeasyplateau/Asylum%20Challenge/Day%2035/sickagain.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 369px; height: 134px;" src="http://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg359/skeasyplateau/Asylum%20Challenge/Day%2035/sickagain.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg359/skeasyplateau/Asylum%20Challenge/Day%2035/janiesickx2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 369px; height: 137px;" src="http://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg359/skeasyplateau/Asylum%20Challenge/Day%2035/janiesickx2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg359/skeasyplateau/Asylum%20Challenge/Day%2035/elektraissick.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 372px; height: 134px;" src="http://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg359/skeasyplateau/Asylum%20Challenge/Day%2035/elektraissick.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Sigh.

I'm contemplating having Abby quit her job once she earns 10,000 simoleans just so she can spend more time dedicated to earning her skill points. Now that she's so high on all of her skills, it takes forever for her to earn just one point. I think I'm going to work on getting up all the skill points to something like 7/10 at least, then let her quit and focus only on building skills. After all, with only five of them, the food costs are a bit less anyway, and the bills are less as well thanks to eliminating some of the light fixtures.<br /><br />Day 33 started off with former friend Jill Fleig kicking over their trash. This is a crucial event, as you will come to understand in the next few posts, and the next time Abby sees Jill, I'm going to have her bitchslap the woman.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg359/skeasyplateau/Asylum%20Challenge/Day%2033/jillsabitch.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 288px; height: 358px;" src="http://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg359/skeasyplateau/Asylum%20Challenge/Day%2033/jillsabitch.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Jared managed to nab another body skill point.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg359/skeasyplateau/Asylum%20Challenge/Day%2033/jaredsfit.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 358px; height: 103px;" src="http://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg359/skeasyplateau/Asylum%20Challenge/Day%2033/jaredsfit.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />His accomplishment might have been slightly outshone by Abby's fantastic promotion and bonus, though!
