Family orientated 100 baby challenge
I very much enjoyed doing the 100 baby challenge a while back. I did however battle a bit with the idea of all the different men being used to have the babies. I am very much a family person in real l...

Hi All!
I have been lurking and play-testing, and have decided to dive into this. I have already played one sim week, to catch up with everyone. I have attempted the 100 Baby Challenge before, but never made it past Gen. 1 because I get rather upset when my sims die. So, playing with aging off (or long lifespan), with the same couple appealed to me.
I decided to do this challenge Rags to Riches Extreme style, starting with 0 simoleons, living off-the-grid, not being able to sell from inventory (can sell from selling table, plopsy or self-publish), simoleons earned from own skills (no jobs), and only be able to travel to other worlds or friend's houses, if invited. They are also starting with a "blueprint" for a Tiny Living Residential Home on their lot. Starting in Summer on the Via Romanza lot in the Terra Amarosa neighborhood. Baby names and skills will be randomized (doing A-Z names first). Babies will be aged up when they are Good Friends with both parents.

CHAPTER 1 - ZACH AND KACI HOBBS - FAMILY 100 BABY CHALLENGE
https://i.postimg.cc/SR7V0jwK/kaci-and-zach-the-start.png
Backstory:
Zach has the glutton, loves outdoors and loves music traits and his Aspiration is The Curator. Kaci has the erratic, vegetarian and Family-oriented traits and her Aspiration is Lady of the Knits. They met on a school exchange program in Tartosa and had their first kiss at the Lover's Tree.

They were in love and got married "in the heat of the moment" at the Romance Festival in San Myshuno. For their honeymoon, they backpacked through Europe and went back to Tartosa, the place they first fell in love. After selling everything they owned, they looked for a plot of land, and found a perfect property overlooking the sea. The land was near a small picnic area and there were some great fishing spots on the boardwalk. It was a short walk to the beach at Hideaway Falls, which had a public restroom and some lounge chairs. After heading to city hall, and plunking down their simoleons, they bought the land, and were ready to start their life together, and hopefully begin a family soon.
The first few days were tough, but they met many sims. Zach fished, and was lucky to be mentored by Ekram Elderberry. While Zach fished, Kaci sang for tips at the boardwalk (although most sims just watched and didn't give any tips), and Kaci also harvested lily and tomato plants around Tartosa. Their new neighbors, Mateo and Lucia Markovic, brought them some fruitcake, which lasted them several days. They were also fortunate that a sim had grilled some frank and beans at the picnic area; which Kaci ate, even though this was against her vegetarian principles.

Luck was with them and they were invited to a dance party at the Von Haunt Estate in Windenburg. While there, Zach earned $90 simoleons in tips from singing and Kaci was able to harvest some plants from the Von Haunt Estate gardens (lemon, cherry, basil, sage, parsley, basil, bluebell, blackberry). They were so happy that they "tried for baby" in a woohoo bush on the grounds. They decided to spend $15 simoleons on a pregnancy test, and they found out that Kaci was expecting. Zach was kind of surprised at first, but they were both thrilled that they would soon have a family.

As the days passed, they continued to fish, harvest and sing for tips. Zach fished 3 apples and 3 dragonfruit plants, which they planted. They were both tired and their hygiene needs were always low.

They decided to head to Porto Luminoso's main square, but even then, poor Kaci was too tired to sing for tips.

However, Zach did find another place to fish.
https://i.postimg.cc/76jGKvD9/zach-fishing-in-another-spot.png
One day it got so bad, that they headed into the Celebrazioni d'Amour, a local lounge, to use the public restroom there, which had showers. Things really took off, and while there, Zach sang for tips and Kaci tried her hand at the guitar. Pretty soon, they had enough simoleons for a selling table.
https://i.postimg.cc/FzL2tSSc/at-teh-lounge.png
Kaci was almost in her third trimester, but they still had no house. Kaci and Zach started selling items at a yard sale at 300% mark-up right away. While Kaci tended the yard sale, Zach fished, and made some great catches, and also fished 4 voodoo dolls and a cowplant berry. Everything Zach caught, they sold, with the exception of the cowplant berry, which they planted.
https://i.postimg.cc/027bnJhT/starting-a-yard-sale.png
They got a call from their friends, the Markovics to come to their house and they had a nice visit, especially being able to use the sink to wash up, and Lucia even made some food. The whole backyard was set up for a wedding, and Zach and Kaci had their first slow dance together.
https://i.postimg.cc/263VzLq5/slow-dancing-together.png
Zach asked Mateo if he could use their computer, and he hacked some simoleons, and also wrote a children's book. They had a wonderful time and headed home.
The next morning, Kaci went into labor and they rushed to the local hospital to have the baby. Their firstborn, a boy, who they named Ayden, which means "little fire". Congratulations!

BABY # 1: Welcome AYDEN HOBBS
https://i.postimg.cc/x8V8KfjG/welcome-to-the-world-ayden.png
Once Kaci, Zach and Baby Ayden returned home, they realized they needed to get a house built. They couldn't really "live off the lawn" with the cold weather coming soon.
https://i.postimg.cc/4dJkjPb9/living-on-the-lawn.png
With a few calls, they were able to afford a small house, which seemed to be built overnight. Zach even got a small royalty check for the book he wrote.
