Should, with the updates adding more screens before you start, start timing at file select (thus adding additional seconds to new runs) or on the party naming screen (as is the first screen after that in current posted runs)?

Will go forward with the file select until told otherwise.

Edit: Probably not going to matter anyway, just improved my time and got a near 8 second improvement on the 2 year old WR

Just figured to post here to let people know if they aren't in the discord....

I found a bit of a "cheat" to cut time while working on Ghost WooHoo % this week that involves over-exerting Elder sims with WooHoo-ing them to death that will likely make more consistently fast, possibly even race-viable runs for the Black Widow category...

I'm going to make some attempts at them later this week for PB/WR chasing and after I get a rhythm down of how to integrate this quick-kill into the route, I'll try to post a guide for it.

I've also found that "Cry it Out" typically lowers the time you mourn the dead spouse by 1 hour, so a total of 48 "Cry It Out" uses (or so, since with 3x speed it's hard to know how many hours just naturally pass from a few runs) can get you back on the horse to search for the next "mark" as it were... Figured if anyone was interested in the category this would definitely help.

And yes, if you can get winter with expansions, you probably can go even faster than by selecting an elder and making them woohoo till they die of a heart attack

I'm a bit late to this game, so to speak, but after they gave it away earlier this year (and from some referral from Meliria) I'm doing some runs. I see that there's a category with no submission (WooHoo) and was wondering if anyone has tried routing it yet?

I did some research on the achievement it's tied to, and there was some bugs to it early on that may or may not have been fixed...the hardest part, apparently, is that it may be time-sensitive and if you age above Young Adult may not trigger...has anyone got any info on this?

If it's a reasonable time run (sub 3 hours) it may be an interesting addition to smaller marathons to highlight the game/series runs.

Just a question about the new collection. Will the new runs be added as new platforms. Will we get collection categories if major changes in gameplay speed/emulation or will they be filed under emu runs? I'm mostly looking forward to practicing on Switch.

Just checked out the rules and was wondering if the hats go against the "starting presents" rule or not? They aren't a present and they are randomized per level if turned on. Was just wondering whether they need to be off or not.

Was playing earlier and wanted to see how the speedruns are set up and I'm noticing one big thing missing: multiplayer. The game is built for both online and couch multiplayer yet the run types seem to only be split into the different difficulties (fixed, Random, hard random). Is there any intent to add sub-categories for single/multiplayer of those runs? Or would that just be a special thing that you could maybe do for marathon runs where you do it co-op?
