I'm not clear on this - suppose the good twin starts to learn cooking by reading a book, and finishes out the skillpoint on the television - are both objects then verboten to the evil twin? Or just the one that the good twin *completed* the point on? If the former... if the good twin started from a book, and so the evil twin started on television at the same time, I guess that's allowed until the good twin switches? This sounds hard to keep track of to me.
It's whatever the good twin finishes each point on; if the good twin starts a book, and the evil twin gains skill points via TV, and then later the good twin skills on the TV, you've failed because the evil twin has now learned the same way as the good twin.
+10 for each childish prank the child pulls - this can be anything from joy buzzers to dying the cat's fur green. Max of 50 points
If you allow made up stuff, like dying the cat's fur and call it a prank, JM or someone will turn it into auto-gimme because anything counts and it's subjective. [/quote]
It is pretty much an auto-gimmie; I put it in there to make the stories more interesting to read, since I know those of you that are storytellers will come up with some interesting ones. For those that aren't, regular in-game pranks and so forth will qualify. You only need five, after all.
-10 for every time the evil twin does their own homework
So far as I know, the only way for a child to have someone else do their homework is for the player to tell another child to do it for them, so it's really just a command you're saying the player should make? Also, I dunno about yours but my sims (mostly severely micro-managed) don't actually do their homework unless I tell them do. I don't think I've ever seen one do it autonomously - do they?
The same is true for the teen rule version, I think...

Exactly. I wanted the point to be that the evil twin doesn't do their work so the good twin has to do it for them. For college, you can just sleep your way through or make pledgies do it. I wish someone would make a hack allowing the same sort of interaction - instead of "influence -> do term paper" it'd be "influence -> do my homework", but for now, this suffices.
