Pure Entrepreneur looks cool, it's fun when you have to get creative finding ways to earn money.
Donte and Dora sure are cute kids! Haha, when they bring a friend named Odessa home from school, you just know there's an OWBC happenin' somewhere!
The formula I use for successful Outings is select interactions that produce the highest result, preferably double pluses. Then repeat each one every third time: ie Red Hands, Gossip, Bust a Move almost always produce ++, then rinse and repeat. Romantic ones work really well too once the relationship is high enough. Of course, you might have to settle for single pluses in the beginning stages of a relationship and build up from there, after which reaching Rockin' goes quite a bit faster.
Another use is to invite kids on Outings at home, then let them sleep while the parents raise the meter, and at the end, everyone's motives go up.
Anyway, glad to see you're figuring them out! They can be really helpful for sustained community lot visits.

Hi Lorin!
Pure Entrepreneur is definitely interesting, and something I haven't done before. There's lots of ways to make money in the game, and many of them go untried for me in my usual gameplay, because normally everyone gets the normal jobs.
I do think the Daniels' genes mix pretty well. And I suppose not many sims outside of an OWBC would get named Odessa.
Thanks for the outing tips! I'll need to keep those in mind when I do more of them, and I'd say at least the Fortunatos are definitely going to do more of them.

I just recently started reading your challenge and it's so entertaining that it makes me want to play The Sims more! I'm currently reading week 2 part 1 and I'm having a blast!

So many side challenges!
(I have been spending the entire time while my pictures load to Photobucket for my own chapter reading this, and I'm done with round 2... Photobucket truly does suck plumbbobs. )

Hi and welcome aboard! Yeah, it's a lot of side challenges, and those will only continue to pop up I suppose. (Wow, Photobucket has really been acting up for you, hasn't it? I'd be mad at it, but it did bring you here... ) Thanks for reading and commenting!

Caught up!
I'm going to try photobucket tomorrow, because it's laggy as hell right now (though everything uploaded, finally)... and maybe finally get this 95 image chapter done!

Just got all caught up. Side challenges are so much fun. I'm doing similar thing in Silver Bend. I have a little trouble remembering the rules for things sometimes.

Hi Katri, just got caught up and enjoyed Brandi's TPC as well as Bella and William in their Ugla- Prettacies.
Great updates, and welcome, Lakewood, to Week 4!
