    Yeah! I've got a few plans for her...

    It shows with the challenge that it's not necessary to sacrifice everything to win... Honey never used sleeping potion (except maybe once in Freshman year), and she was still able to achieve valedictorian before the end of her first semester of Junior year.

    So... that means that there's lots of time of other activities! Honey is a perfectionist and rather driven, so it fits for her to not do anything leisurely until she's sure of her success, but if I were playing another Sim, she or he might take a different approach.

    Also, I found that the Friend of the World aspiration was a really great and easy second aspiration to achieve. It fit in really naturally!

    Ooh! I need to catch up and see how you're doing with this challenge. I need to head back into Greenwood ASAP and get playing. I might have one massive play through to the end of the year!

    Ooh! I need to catch up and see how you're doing with this challenge. I need to head back into Greenwood ASAP and get playing. I might have one massive play through to the end of the year!

    So, as far as the challenge goes, we "won" by the end of the first semester, Junior year!

    That means: maxed three skills for our major (performing arts), completed two aspirations (friend of the world and the music one), and did what's needed for an A for all four years!

    So, we've got a year-and-a-half left in college, and I'm going to let her goof off and relax during the second half of Junior year (sort of a discovery year)--we're also working on the Bodybuilder aspiration, which we'll probably complete before the end of the semester--then during Senior year, I'll have her do a professional internship by getting a job in the entertainment career.

    I also had her live with the Villareals during her "year abroad" (I had her live there as an au pair), and so I treated the family like the dorm-mates, ISBI-style (except I did direct the kids to do homework, since I can't stand for kids to fail school!). She had so much fun there, that she transferred schools and stayed. So, it's not completely faithful to the rules, but I think it's a fun twist and it fits really well with her story and experience.

    I'm still loving this challenge very much!

    I'm thinking it would be good if it awarded extra bonuses or score points for achieving things beyond the valedictorian--maybe along the lines of Wonder Child.

    Surprise! There's a new story! This one really is a surprise: Cocoa Heish-Pigglewiggle and Animal Hat CT got together on @ra3rei 's computer in one of her saves, and while other houses were being played, they fell in love, became soulmates, and had twins!

    So, we moved a copy of the twins over to my computer, and here's their surprising adventures:
