I've never really played a challenge before, so please excuse me...
I'm supposed to play the Perfection Household, but what should I do with the other houses in the hood? I don't play in rotation normally, so any advice is welcome.
[eta] Silly Q #2: What am I supposed to do with the school-like room arranged in the Girl's School?

I played mainly Fury and Lark's house until I was a few sim days into the challenge, and kind of knew who from the neighborhood was part of their story. I didn't want to make changes to anyone who was going to be important to the challenge story.
I found that my playing pattern was that I would play the challenge house through to a major event, and then switch to another house for a couple of sim days before going back to the challenge.
I kind of started at the top of the map and am working my way down the coastline of the map. Some of the families are really fun and some are kind of normal. This is what determines how long I play a family. If I'm really enjoying them, I stick with them for a few sim days. If they are kind of normal, I'll play them only a day or just long enough to find out who they are.
I haven't played the girl's school yet. My system doesn't do well with large lots, so I'm kind of avoiding it. |

The simplest thing is to play the challenge all the way through, then try out the other houses.
If you want to play other houses while doing the challenge, just don't let anyone die. That's the main thing that would be a problem.
The school room is just for looks. Feel free to redecorate. If the house it too big, you can move them after the challenge. |

I have only played the Perfection house so far. I am itching to take a look at the other households .. but will wait.
I have gone in a few of the community lots to redecorate a bit .. I did not keep all the downloads that come with the neighborhood and have quite a few statues lying amok .. lol .. |

I have a new one!
I kept everyone home on Lark's B-da (to adult)... but nothing happened while they would have been away at school; only later - I had them skilling until noon then lef them to their own devices.
Did I break something?  |

| Hmm, I think there's a party the day before their birthday. Then on their birthday the headmaster drops by. That's all, I think. |

And yet another!!
Mysterious Benefactor got stuck at the door to the house and could not be interacted with... I had to force and error on him and delete (reset didn't work)...
What did I do *this* time?!?!
(cry) |

| Don't worry, you didn't break anything! Mysterious Benefactor shows up to deliver his message. He's just there for "looks." You're not supposed to interact with him, and deleting him won't cause a problem. |

Still another one!
Is Fury supposed to marry anyone in particular, or is that open ended?
He has taken quite a liking to Melissa Fancey in my game!
Thanks!
[eta] And... yet another!!
Will adding days to their lives bork anything?
Double Thankees!
