Thank you Perturbee that's exactly what I was looking for. It looks like all the jobs are a waist when plants are worth more XP/Money.

I like the Competition Center okay because if I send someone who is maxed out they usually get first place and that can be 3 LP. I figure it keeps 'em busy and if I like the rewards it's worth it. If the Sim is not yet at the top level look at third or fourth place and see if its worth it. Don't completely rule it out.

I really liked the Competition Center for awhile there. I'd check to see what the competition was and it would award me a prize! I'd not entered anybody. That's a bug I could live with. *grins*. It's gone now but five or six times I cleaned up!

Actually, Katgames, it's not gone. If I plan to visit neighbours, I don't enter my Sims in competition because if the town you visit has just finished one, your Centre automatically registers the game over and you are awarded a prize. That's really nice, for sure, but only if you don't have a Sim entered. Sometimes when time runs down, the Sim would get a prize, but too often, it was stuck there after the competition ended and a new challenge would start with the poor Sim still competing! To free it costs LPs or I'd have to cancel the action (don't remember if cancelling was an option).

So that's what happened to me lol. Had a Sim in competition and wondered why I got a prize when the Sim was still competing. I cancelled the action (yes it's an option) but the centre was out of whack time-wise a day or two after that.

Well, well, ElsieD... That is very interesting news. Thank for that tip! I just learn new stuff everyday on this forum.

it can have a different effect. if you have karate competition and neighbor has one too but entered level a lot less than your level, you may end up like i did getting 4th place for a usually 1st place inspired 6/6.

Okay, you told me this but I obviously didn't listen. I can be slow in the brain sometimes. It happened where I was entered in one thing and got a reward for something else. I thought it was just funny then I remembered this thread. I re-read what you said. *bangs head on keyboard*. Luckily he did not get stuck. No putting them in competitions anymore when visiting neighbors. Got it. Finally!
