Can only one sim defeat Mother or do you have to use others, and how many do you need if you do use others. I have been defeated a few times now LOL

I recruited 3 other sims, so with my sim I had 4 total sims. I also had an extra vaccine in my inventory that I threw at her while they were fighting.

One sim can't do it.

Thanks all, Third time lucky, three sims and three vaccinations thrown at her and she is defeated, Phew now my tummy is in knots, need a coffee :D

That thing could kill the cowplant and eat it if it wanted to.

I recruited 3 Sims eventually, 2 of them ran away after the vaccine. Had to call them to visit, to get the 2 runners to join up. I used group travel to get to the lab, 1 Sim left instantly maybe they had work.

I then sent my Sim to start the fight, the Sim that had left on arrival appeared. The other 2 only made there way down when the mother had about 10% health left. For the first 25% there was my Sim and the 1 companion but they where on the floor and did not get back up for rest of fight, leaving my Sim to solo. Right clicking the mother gives options, these helped me get to around 10% when my other 2 companions finally decided to show up and help out.

Soloing should be fairly easy as long as you use the options on the mother to stop the infection getting to high.

mind you, this is after getting to max relationship with it with a sim that was infected. because i was curious

This is definitely a spoiler but in a spoiler thread and something I love about the ending.
I want to create that bad sim that joins with the mother for power, riches... ect. Along with making hero types to defeat her and maybe do a back and forth between the two (or more) in the same save. As a hero/villain play though.

i may well be making a new thread about playing while possessed, but until then, seems this is where i'm dropping the info i found out. again, sorry for the sort-of hijack here

The "confess fear of humans" interaction choice intrigues me...why would she fear sims?

So you need an infected to get the nonviolent ending, that answers one question.
Just finished the beatdown ending with Bella, as there were a bunch of references to her, and talking to it uninfected didn't seem to be doing anything. While it's a very traditional RPG resolution, it gave absolutely no explanation for WTH just happened or why; and other than the clear references in some messages, not a shred of explanation what she had to do with any of this.
I know all about Strangetown, but this isn't that, and what any of this has to do with Mother makes no sense unless I missed something.

I used six sims and did a mega blast.

I went with 7 sims so started with me and 3 others then she defeated me so then I went to fight again with the other 4 and tried to use mega spray as much as it would let me
