Mine is Skippy Simmy Jackson
Mine was Skippy Simmy Johnson. One of the later task descriptions, though referred to him as Skippy Simmons. Weird!
Awhile back, I noticed that one deer at my campground is "Deer" and the other is "Deer Beveridge".
Now I'm curious whether there are variations on this as well...

Never noticed before, but my deer are named Deer Hall and Deer Yokley. And my Skippy is a Davis.

I've got a Skippy Simmy de Graaf (no sim in my town is a de Graaf :? ) and the deer in my campground are all called Deer.

All the sprites, the Princess and the Prince during the fairy quest also had "de Graaf".

Here are some numbers on the aerobics hobby and they don't look good.

You only have a choice between 4 hours 50 min. (warm up) and 6 hours 30 min. (shake it off).

Number of times action needs to be repeated to reach level 6
Warm up = 32 = 154 hours and 40 min. total or 6 days 10 hours and 40 min.
Shake it off = 17 = 110.5 total hours or 4 days and 14.5 hours

If you use LP's to complete the actions immediately, you need 128 (32 x 4) for the 4 hour option and 102 (17 x 6) for the 6 hour one. Then you still need to complete the grid 7 times total to unlock all the outfits.

Wow! That's crazy. Not to mention all the repeats that will be in there. Arrrrgh. I mean I usually do use lps when we get a new hobby just to get things moving faster but this seems more than usual. I guess I'll keep grinding away. Not looking forward to it.
Thanks for the info!

Just adults. Tried with both a senior and a teen, but no go.

Not looking forward to this hobby. Not only am I allergic to exercise I don't think the prizes are worth the effort. I will of course take part because I am a saddo who doesn't want to miss out on anything!

I can use LP's .... but which is better if i run out of time? Is the time extension worth saving or should i just use it if needed??
Also be aware that a time limited hobby (aerobics) will start immediately after you finish this quest.
Also note that there are only 2 options available for the aerobics hobby - warm up (4.5 hours) and shake it off (6.5 hours). It's going to take forever to get the other activewear packs!
Thanks for the advice ... think I'll use the time extension for the hobby

I hope the hobby isn't included in the quest time, is it? My Sim is currently sleeping fitfully. Should I use my LP's to get ahead. I have them, just hate using them. Thanks!
