100 Little Lumberjacks - My variation on 100 baby challenge.
So, I've already played the 100 baby challenge in it's entirety and it took about 9 months, the amount of time I could have had a real kid in, haha!
I'm done now and I loved the challenge, but not enough to play the same thing again exactly as is. So I'm doing it again with mostly the same rules but some other rules that are really different.
Here's the rules I'll be using that are different:
1. Couples Edition. I love the first version but the thing holding me back playing the full thing a 2nd time is finding all the donors again. This version my Sim will get married so only room for 6 kids in the home.
2. All pregnancies will have the same father in each gen. I'll use a mod to make pregnant sims age so there isn't a huge age gap. This should result in more realistic amounts of children per generation, and many more generations to get 100 kids. Once EITHER Sim in the couple dies, that generation will be over.
3. The youngest child will take over as soon as they are married.
4. No ley line! I used it last time and had almost all twins. That was fun, but looking for something different.
5. The nursery and toddler rooms can be generic, but for kids and teens each child must have their own bedroom decorated to their tastes that is redecorated each time they age up. (I did this for the first 60 kids or so last time but then gave up and didn't do it again until the last 15 haha). Kids can only share a room if tot and younger, or they are the same age and gender.
6. Same rules to age up early but because the pregnant sim will age all along, life span will be on long
7. Each new generation must move out and begin again in a new house in a new world (can repeat after running out of worlds if I do) I can use the Money Cheat to buy the shell of the house from the gallery and furnish it only with the cheapest items and the minimum needed for her and her husband (One double bed, one fridge, one countertop, one microwave, one sink, one couch, one desk/chair, one computer, one toilet, one bath/shower combo... no other furniture.) + 3000simoleans to decorate it/upgrade or add one additional item.) Once the house is ready, Money cheat again to make them have 0 Simoleans. So no carrying over money from previous generations.
8. Working rules same as the original as far as leaving the home to work.This applies to both sims in the couple though and teens no longer able to get jobs.
9. No using rally the troops
10. Each Generation the couple earn money the same way as each other (like two painters, two gardeners etc) and each generation they have to find a new way to earn money. They can repeat a way after 4 generations. (So I can use gardening again 4 generations after the first time it was used.)
