100 Little Lumberjacks - My variation on 100 baby challenge.

@Zora1327 That sounds fun too :) My first time around I did something similar with the names.
Gen 1 was alphabetical up to the letter L which is when that gen ended.
Gen 2 was place names
Gen 3 was Nature names until we hit the last 14 babies of the challenge. At that point she finished what the first matriarch started by going alphabetical from m-z. I posted all their names here at that time: https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/965751/just-had-to-share-that-im-done-100-baby/p1

Also, I'm aging up kids/teens on their bdays right now because my graphics card is broken so I can't see menus in game. Adds some more challenge haha. But I can't tell what grade my kids have or their traits so for second round I'm not worrying about it, except tots as I can see skills. I also can't choose sims which makes it really hard. For example... if my sim clicks on the potty she can't pick which tot to potty train and therefore can't train any... UNLESS only one can be trained and then it automatically goes to that tot. (And vice versa for kids asking for potty help) so I have to make sure that all tots other than the one needing trained (or bathed, or whatever) are asleep before potty training one. Highly annoying. Also Can't do things right now like cook (because I can't open the menu to choose the foods but she can "serve dinner" with the expensive wheel menu options you buy, just not the normal choices), view family trees (very annoying), order services like a maid or gardener, get reward traits, or anything like that haha. I need a new computer.

First time around my kids never had fathers, as their fathers all seemed to die somehow by the time they were tots (mostly weather related deaths) so observent wouldn't have helped any haha.

Thanks, haha! I looked at your posts from the 100 baby challenge one and it seemed interesting! :)

But I wonder how it must be to have no menus in the game? That must be VERY annoying, indeed! :/ Oh, also, are you able to pick any traits for the kids or is that broken, too? And how are you managing? I don't think I can go a second without checking traits, grades, life left, family trees, etc, because I'm like that, lol. I also tend to have a lot of multiples (I got twins the very first time I played ts4 and my sims got pregnant!) so they become toddlers at the same time and so I have two or three toddlers at once and if I had that problem then I won't be able to potty train them or bathe them. And then I'll have stinky toddlers with poopy diapers, haha. I also don't think you need a new computer, but you might need to replace your GPU with a new one. Just so you know.

And I have had some weather-related deaths (haven't gone far enough in my challenge to get family-related deaths yet) in my game, too, XD. A few of them were Nancy Landgraab and Mortimer Goth XD. It usually switches my camera to them whenever they die like that. Because they were dying, I couldn't save or do anything of the sort which was annoying (I usually save every minute or so as I don't want to lose ANY data, lol). One townie sim even died on my lot and I got her gravestone. It also prompted my matriarch to go witness it, but I cancelled it. It was pretty strange, honestly. I got angry so when I saw a sim turning blue, (I have MCC cheats) I changed their outfit to the cold-weather one and they were normal again. Never got any hot-weather deaths yet, though, XD. I had a broken mod in my game for a while, though (took it out now thanks to the 50/50 method, I kept it through many updates of the game for whatever reason, idk) and it made those dying sims resurrect and start walking on the streets again. They were removed from their households as usual, but they were normal sims, XD.

I decided on the idea of taking on the father's traits because it felt strange to just randomize it, lol. Never had any fathers die yet, btw. At first, Zandra had to get to know the fathers' traits but then I realized a trait existed for that, the Observant trait. I never found any use for it previously, but now I have! XD It is cheap and I'm having Zandra be kind of like a super sim XD and getting whims as well, so she has a ton of satisfaction points. Having Zandra be a super sim makes the challenge more interesting as well. (It won't be realistic for her to get everything in her lifetime and being a busy matriarch, but I'm getting as many things as I can! :smiley: ) I might do something different with the new matriarch when she comes, though, XD.

And talking about the 100 little lumberjacks challenge, I think this name theme is interesting, XD. In my old 100 baby challenge save (the one I lost), I used the -a & -e suffixes for girls and -iah, -as & -on suffixes for boys, and the hard "c" sound is slightly similar to that, haha.
