I finally started this challenge today and it is very fun. I am kind of surprised because I normally do not like to play just one Sim but he is very busy and has so much to do. Anyway, I find this to be very relaxing. I took pictures which I will post at some point.
Thank you...It really has been tons of fun. I can't wait to play him again. I don't know why but I am becoming quite attached to Jack. When I get some time, I will post a few pictures of what has been going on. Nothing much ..he is making progress. I like that it is nice and relaxed. I have never played with aging off before...kind of nice to not have to worry about it.
This is when Jack first started out. Challenge seemed kind of easy and he was okay
He enjoyed Yoga as a nice stress relief and would do this by himself
It wasn't to long after he had been there a little bit that he started a garden and began looking for the potato plant seeds
He also started his new job and was pretty happy. He was doing well getting promotions left and right. All of the things availble to him were helping him out. He was happy.
But as time went on things became a little more difficult. Socializing was an issue and talking to the plants didn't always cut it. He had one person he talked to from work and that was it. He even tried to make a pen pal which succeeded but didn't do much for his social needs. Taking a shower once a week wasn't fun for him either but he did discover he could wash his hands a bunch and that helped him feel a little cleaner.
One day at work he opened a box and found this creature and thought perhaps he could befriend it but no help there.
He knew he needed to find the cow plant seed eventually so he started fishing. As you can see here he hadn't showered in a while
He is still struggling on becoming a rocket scientist but is making some progression the rocket. He is also working hard at making stuff but it seems like his job takes up a bunch of his time and constantly working out is not helping the once a week shower rule. He does have some grilled meals coming to him as he has not used them all yet. I wish there was a way to earn showers LOL.
Oh and he did find a potato and was able to plant it so he eats his quick meals and then the potatoes help fill him up.
Sorry, not much of a story here but I am enjoying the challenge.
@Glimmer50 LOL....great update! I am so sorry Jack is uncomfortable. Usually wash hands, brush teeth, wash hands, brush teeth will get the hygiene up quite a bit. Consider buying the reward that helps with the hygiene, social and hunger needs. They help some.
You know, I don't mean to sound weird but I am really liking Jack. I am becoming quite attached to him as he struggles along. He is definitely going to continue his journeys in another challenge after this.
Yeah I do have him wash his hands quite a lot and brush his teeth and it helps but sometimes he loses track of time. This is fun though. I find it very relaxing which is something I really need right now.
I will continue to take pictures and keep you posted to what is going on with him. Fun challenge.
I am almost done with the challenge. He has to get level 10 at his job and then mission accomplished. LOL...Yeah I do like that this challenge doesn't take forever to finish because like you I have many that I need to do. Once I finish this one..I have 3 active and then the Drifter Challenge which is monthly but I may put that off for now so I can finish some of these other challenges I have started.
I decided to combine 3 challenges into one (unfortunately that does not lower my challenge total but does keep me from playing 3 more challenges) ..no easy feat..but they all go together ..and Jack will be in it. I just want to do something with him and I think I have found the perfect thing...I will reveal that at the end which I hope is today.
I think I need to go to challenges anonymous for some help.
I'm still playing this one too ... just been a bit too busy to play lately ... I'll be back on it this week though! I'll post pics after I have Mark's Martian station finished and have something nice to show!
@Glimmer50 Yhea! You're sooooooo close. I can't wait to see more of Jack. Be sure to link to your new "trilogy" with Jack We are all in the same boat with the challenges. It's too much fun to stop at just one!

Okay well I finished the challenge BUT Imgur is acting all crazy and taking forever to load my pictures. I keep getting errors due to the fact my google chrome browser is a pain in the potato. Yes I said potato. It runs these background apps and then I can't do anything like type or nothing because I have so many browsers open. I can shut them off each time I close the browser but then it makes me sign into everything all over again...Grrr...I have issues with Mozilla and MSN too so not sure what to do about a browser. I have Windows 7 but I digress.
As soon as I can get my stupid pictures to upload I shall post.
