Penny Dollar is the Target Sim.
I finished this challenge for the *second* time today. Second because I had to reinstall my game a few days ago.
Honestly, the first time, I tried not to cheat. Poor sim worked her but off trying to earn all those badges.
The second time round I cheated… a lot. I used the Badge Juicer to get silver badges in everything, then used the hacked computer to *study* them all to gold.
Funny thing happened though. I was also trying to test the maternity wear hack – where pregnant sims can wear maternity wear other than the MAXIS ones. So the target sim from the Slack Traveler challenge, Easton West rocks up as the welcoming committee. I use the Tombstone of L and D to make Penny pregnant with his child. Needless to say, I was missing the integral part of the hack… the actual hack/file thing. Face palm! I forgot to put it in my downloads folder. So Penny gave birth to Cents, and he aged to a toddler. While dialing for the exterminator, I accidentally click on Adoption. Then in a hurry I click OK. Poor Jonathan arrived all too soon as a toddler.
I hate playing with the sim children – they freak me out. But this was the first time I saw the animation where 2 toddlers fight over a bottle. It was too cute.
Just for the fun if it, Penny built a Servo: SÜm-1. He in turn built a female friend: Sím(one)°. (Someone and Simone) Anyway, the 2 Servo’s moved out and are looking for a new home.
Penny completed the challenge by getting all Gold badges.
If you don’t cheat, then the most challenging badge to develop is the beauty (cosmetology) one. [The first time I finished the challenge] Penny had learned all of the badges except the cosmetology. I got her to hire a cashier and someone to restock the shelves. Then Penny gave everyone free makeover until they started coming to the chair willing pay for it. Eventually she struck gold. I also had to turn off ageing, just in case it took too long.
