Indeed. 100k and padding the City Storage in advance is the same technique I've been trying to use.
I'm not sure about how the Tasks are generated. 90% of the Epic Projects I've attempted have been very tough. Tasks usually yield 1-2 points with the 3point Tasks being rare. I did have a nice run on the last Epic Project [Entertainment, I believe] wherein I was getting more 3 point Tasks and with nearly complete exhaustion of 75k+ Simoneons, half of my complement of high production items, and 23 hours later I was able to scrape together enough points to get my 1st Gold Epic Project.
It was such an exhausting experience that I won't be trying for that level again any time soon.
My greatest frustration with that run is that I had a ton of items in my City Storage that sat unused. The Tasks repeatedly hit me for the same items 2-3 times. Especially after the 140-sh point range. I was getting slammed with Tasks of 4-5 Refrigerators, 4-5 Couches, 4-5 Fire Pits, etc. It was maddening. All the while, I had quantities of 4+ on Cupboards, Backpacks, TVs, and Gnomes in my Storage. Oddly enough, as soon as I started to sell those off those unrequested items to fund my efforts to hunt down the items I needed for Tasks via the Global Market, then the Epic Tasks started to request those items. [gives Epic Tasks the finger and tries not to throw my phone.]

Points aren't random, they're allocated by building type, bigger and more costly are three pointers, eg Marina is always a 3 pointer, lighthouse 2 pointer, surfer beach 1 pointer. I wouldn't be surprised if tasks are deliberately set at what you don't have in inventory. Having lots of coffee I didn't get one request the whole 160.

Hello, I just want to say that it is possible to get to Gold tier and sleep, eat, etc... In fact is the simplest thing.
Here you go, all you need is to start the epic project, dont worry about having anything prepared before getting hands on....
now that you have started the epic project, make sure you have your debit/credit card with you, you will need to click on the Tasks Icons and drag and drop like if you had the items needed... then it will ask you to buy simcash, click YES and enter your CC info. I have all my buildings on gold now and a big debt to the bank in real life, but well, who cares about real life. Cool graphics but *ty storyline. No respawns.

I can do gold in less than 30minutes if planned. 1-2 hours if unplanned and how the Global HQ doesn't work with me hahaha
