Title: The Only Just Permaplat Challenge
Post by: Jack Rudd on 2006 November 17, 19:10:26
Here's a challenge for you:

Take a freshly-made CAS Sim (any age, any aspiration, any personality) and try to get him/her to permaplat status with the lowest possible Aspiration Point Score. The A.P.S. is defined as the number of Aspiration points he/she has left on achieving Permaplat status, plus any points he/she has already spent on Aspiration rewards.

That's not a challenge. You can make it with only the asp you get from the LTW itself trivially. Just take, say, a fortune sim, Earn 100K, and do the buy/sell commlot exploit.

Yeah, that's a nice solution. You can probably do something pretty nice with Fifty First Dates as well.

I think this is probably an "n different challenges" thing, and the object is to minimize your APS for any given challenge. Earn $100,000, 50 First Dates and Celebrate Golden Anniversary will probably be easiest. Get a score of 0 with a CAS adult on maximizing the Business/Science/Medical careers or Maximizing All Seven Skills, and I'll be very impressed. (I'm sure His Awesomeness can do it, but I'm not sure I could.)

7 skills is easy if you do it in college, because knowledge sims don't get their skillpoint wants properly in Uni. It's also possible to reduce your score by tormenting sims with fears, which pay out negative ASP and thus reduce your total.

Hence the possibilities of the 50 First Dates one. You could probably gain a lot of negative ASP on a date if you tried.

Well, first dates is easy because you don't have to do anything except summon 50 people. As long as the "ask someone out on a date" want is not lit, you should be able to avoid it.

Okay, there's an amusing challenge - how long can you get a date to last, and still have it end horribly?

That's easy. You just work it up to max level, and then towards the very end, your datee will piss itself and your date will go down the terlet.

Surely that works best on a date with Brynne?
