Request for Fun Stats

Too bad the flamigos don't come in different colors then (at least I don't know if they do) :D. On the other hand, it has potential, seeing that it is so terribly abused. Visitors who look at them usually have these funny reactions too.
I agree, the swing business was incredibly annoying. Thank goodness for JM's fix, now they leave it alone and the kids actually have a chance to use it. Good luck with the challenge, although I don't play challenges, I like listening to people who do. Reggikko is an avid challenge player, and she is very good at tackling them.

Well, except Email. Reggikko is currently at -1600 in Email. Email consistently eludes her. :P Truly it is a challenge and not simply an exercise in annoyance.
veilchen:
Oh, but she keeps on trying. Besides, it makes for such a funny story. I like her stories very much, I wish I could take such funny pictures.
Reg is determined to beat that challenge, and I for one wouldn't be a bit surprised if she made it. That was, by the way, a brilliant idea JM. Talk about keeping those stats up; that alone is a daunting task, at least for me. I'm too impatient I guess.

I doubt a plastic flamingo counts as a graven image, given the level of respect (repeated kicking) it is afforded.
I've now been told kicking is too violent a behavior for this challenge. Man, I'm thinking this was a bad idea. It gets more un-fun all the time...
Ok, we found a compromise. Kids can kick the flamingo but only if an adult does not see them. I can live with that.

However, the only really worthwhile alternative to the plastic flamingo is hand-slapping. Between the silly hand game and the plastic flamingo, you shouldn't have fun problems. All other fun objects are essentially worthless except for the piano and other musical instruments, for gaining creativity, and the chessboard, for logic. The chessboard actually has shitty fun refill, but it simultaneously functions as a socialization object, a skill object, and marginally as a fun object.
For whatever reason, my kids always get shot down for Mary Mack, and Cops and Robbers is so slow to refill fun. By the time that does the trick, they have to go to bed and haven't done their homework. Toys from the toy box are slow, too, although they will play with those when they are red. If they are in the red, they refuse to play the piano or chess. (I hate these kids!) I haven't tried bed jumping yet, though. Hmm.

Hmm, I have always found the doll-house to be able to have the sim-kids gain fun pretty fast. Not as fast as the flamingos, but it's not too bad.
