Thanks! I'm playing with these rules right now and I haven't encountered problems so far. It's actually a really good thing I decided to allow adoptions before playing because it turned out my matriarch's aspiration required her to adopt a child, lol. He doesn't count towards the 100 child count so I'm hoping I can have him do really well in school so I can age him up and move him out fast.

Like OMG how pretentious of you!

Haha, I kid, I kid. :) I'm glad someone has finally taken the time to write out a set of rules. Maybe it'll help some more baby challenge stories to spring up.

Haha well it felt kind of arrogant to barge in and be like "These are my rules and I'm making them official!" when I didn't write the original challenge but I agree, we definitely need a set of rules that is more or less uniform among all the challenge players. I'll get around to adding a point system later for this.

Love this challenge - it was lots of fun in Sims 3! Thanks for putting it together here. :)

I seem to remember a restriction about the matriarch not being able to leave the lot unless it was to find a donor. Did I make that up? lol Leave it to me to make things harder on myself!

It was a restriction in The Sims 3 but I eased up on it for The Sims 4, mostly because of the common space around lots within the different districts. I didn't see a reason why I would need to restrict her from leaving her lot. Since she can't have a job either, also restricting her from going to the clubs to perform for tips seemed silly to me. I wanted her to be able to collect and perform and earn money in any of the ways that don't require her to have a career.

My matriarch took up painting so she rarely leaves her district (she does chase down men regularly in the community garden near her house, lol) but if she had been a music lover or an aspiring comedian, she would have needed to leave her home to make tips.

I've been toying with the idea of starting a 100 baby challenge, despite already being involved in a Legacy challenge and just starting a Legacy/ISBI challenge (that one is crazy town, BTW :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: ). I wasn't sure what the specific rules were, so this is very helpful!

Thanks! Yeah, I noticed a lot of people wanted to play The Sims 4 for the 100 Baby Challenge but no one really had a proper set of adapted rules to go by and I love writing and adapting challenges so I decided to just go ahead and write one up for people. :)

I'm glad to see some rules for the 100 baby challenge. I've always wondered about that.

Can you actually have 100 children in one blood line without having your game implode? I've always thought my game would bog down entirely with this challenge.
