I recently decided to do @simlady36's Foster challenge, but when I read the challenge, it seemed a little easy because it didnt have many rules. I decided to modify the rules to give it more of a challenge. All credit goes to @simlady36 for posting the original challenge which can be found here. Hope you enjoy.Note: This challenge is still being play-tested. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to post in the thread. Since this is still in testing, the rules are subject to change.Objective: To adopt and raise 50 children.Setup:There are 3 Modes for the setup phase. These were added to include Story Mode in the challenge.Easy Mode: Design your Sim your way and have Money Cheats available to set up your house. Start a new file and set the lifespan to normal. Make a young adult sim to start the challenge with. Do not use Story Mode to make your sim. You may use money cheats to set up your house. After your house is complete, set your money down to 10,000 if you used money cheats on the house.Medium Mode: Use Story Mode to determine Traits, Aspiration, Starting Skills, Career, and Starting Money; have Money Cheats available to set up your house. Start a new file and set the lifespan to normal. Use Story Mode to make a young adult sim to start the challenge with. You may use money cheats to set up your house, but remember the simolean amount that you get. After your house is complete, set your money down to the simolean amount you received from Story Mode if you used money cheats on the house.Hard Mode: Use Story Mode to determine Traits, Aspiration, Starting Skills, Career, and Starting Money; No Cheats Allowed. Start a new file and set the lifespan to normal. Use Story Mode to make a young adult sim to start the challenge with. Move into a house and decorate it with the simoleans you receive from Story Mode.Rules: No cheats after the setup phase. Before you can adopt children, you must have your sim find and get married to a mate. You must adopt a baby. No adopting toddlers or children. You must randomize your children's traits. Before you age up a baby, it must be their birthday. You may age up a toddler only if you reach level 3 of all toddler skills or the game ages them up. You may age up a child only if you reach their A grade and you finish your aspiration or the game ages them up. You may age up a teen only if you reach their A grade and you reach the top of a teen job/after school activity or the game ages them up. The child will not count until they become a young adult. If the child dies, or gets taken by the social worker, before they become a young adult, they do not count toward the 50 children objective. If one of the parents dies, you may not adopt any more children. You must age the youngest child up to a young adult and find and marry a mate for that person. After you do that, you may continue adopting kids. If you have the GTW expansion pack, and one your current parents get abducted, which results in a pregnancy, that will count as an adopted child, provided they make it to young adult. If you have the parenthood pack, you must have no traits in range for negative character traits to age up a teen on your own. This is not to say that the bars for character traits can't be red, but you cant receive a negative character trait. If you have the parenthood pack, you must set a curfew. If you have the parenthood pack, and someone is assigned a project, you cannot age them up until the project is complete. The challenge ends when the 50th child becomes a young adult.

Nice revision and thank you for acknowledging @simlady36 as creator of the original challenge.

Made a tiny edit to the rules. Added the following rule: "The child will not count until they become a young adult. If the child dies, or gets taken by the social worker, before they become a young adult, they do not count toward the 50 children objective."

I just finished play-testing my challenge for today, and added the following rule: "If you have the GTW expansion pack, and one your current parents get abducted, which results in a pregnancy, that will count as an adopted child, provided they make it to young adult."

It'd be kind of run if there was a pets offshoot of this challenge. Definitely going to include this challenge as part of a story idea I'm going to start writing eventually. XD

I have a question since I am still learning features of the game, the adopt system being one. Can the adopted children turn out to be vampires or aliens? Or are they always sims?

Im pretty sure thwy are always aims but i could be wrong.

Okay thanks. :) I was very curious . Oh one more thing. How often do you adopt? Is it however many kids you think you can handle? Is it as soon as one ages up adopt the next? Or is there something like roll every time you adopt to see how many you're going to adopt?

Its whenever you want to so that you feel you can handle them.

Okay. ^-^ thanks for this challenge. I'm having fun with it already. It's not to the exact rules since it's a continuation of a spare, but its close enough.
