100 baby challenge

That one always catches my interest, I think I'll be trying it out soon.

I like the challenges I have tried (of course I only try challenges I am interested in), but admit I like the crunchy parts of games and enjoy breaking them within their own rules (it is how I find my fun).

72/100 of 100 Baby challenge. I think it is fun, but do have to take breaks.
Ways I break it:
- Fame, Instant "Romantic Besties" makes it pretty easy to get each new 'Donor'.
- Clubs, "Rally the Troops" means maxed Bladder, Energy and Hunger for everyone above the age of toddler.
- Buying School Projects means gaining the grades is pretty fast (a grade level a day if also on a good schools lot trait).

Super Sim. Not up to date, but Careers take so long. Also let my spouse die (engineered their death and brought them back to the family as a ghost) so I didn't have to feed them youth potions as well.
Ways I break it:
- Fame, Being able to get the career boost is great
- Book of Life is great for needs (can be used in 100 baby, but more fun for me in Super Sim)
- Vampire was broken when I did it (could not gain points after Prime) but I think it would be fun for avoiding certain needs - oddly when you are a vampire, the need avoidance traits do not work (If you have forever fresh, but are a vampire, you can still get dirty).

In all, find one that appeals to you and give it a go, but modify as needed to boost your fun. It is a game after all.

Thanks for showing your How To, that helps.
Yes, that's an excellent point, I may indeed modify a bit as needed for my own fun or as a starting off point. The 100 baby challenge and the vampire or alien legacy challenges sounded like fun until I read the rules. lol
Me: What do you mean you play as a Casanova, love e 'm and leave 'em knocked up, that's mean!
Also me: What?! You have to kill the baby daddy/mommas?!...Can you even do that in this game? How would you even do that in this game?...Wait, that's so mean!
I'm giving these some thought as to how to want to accomplish it without being a complete cad or a sociopath. ;)
I'm a dork, what can I say? lolol

The only one I've been able to complete is the Trade Off Challenge. I can't stick to legacy stuff it's just to darn long. In this challenge you have two incompatible sims that share a home (but not all living areas) and you trade off playing them week by week. You don't play the other sim for a full week. You have to reach the top or their career, finish an aspiration and get a skill to 10 basically.
I liked it because I tried and was amused by some aspects of the game I'd never tried.
It was a fairly short challenge and doable for someone like me.
I've also played my own variations of Black Widow challenges. I started a Ghost Challenge (to create most ghosts in the game) but my computer decided to go belly up a few weeks into it and I lost my save. I was not happy and haven't retried it yet.

Honestly I just found out about this new challenge called "OFF-THE GRID CHALLENGE ISLAND LIVING" and I can't wait to try it out ! I would link it here, but alas, I cannot because I am not a member yet. I would appreciate if a member could link it instead of me :)
