The 100 Baby Challenge

The 100 Baby Challenge

Welcome to my 100 Baby Challenge rules thread. As the challenge's name itself states, the goal is to pop out 100 smackerroonies before your sim dies, etc.

There may be some questions about how to make 100 babies possible, but for now just read on.

Starting Out

Enter CAS and create an Adult Female. Her name, looks, clothes, aspiration (though Family would help a lot, try something harder, like Fortune, for a challenge), turn-on/offs, etc, are all up to you. Do NOT create any other sims or, if you have Pets, a dog or cat (if you want a cat or dog, you must either adopt a stray one or buy one at the pet shop). So this leaves you with only your Mom. Accept the family.

Now move into a lot that your mom can afford. You can either move into a premade house, or buy an empty lot and build it up from scratch. The house should have everything for Mom to survive, plus a crib, toddler training toilet, and something to make money off of (i.e. a painting easel). You can use money cheats if you can't afford the bare nessacities but you must buy only the things you need - extra stuff like toys, games, instruments, swimming pool, hot tub etc. must wait for earned income. You must also have the cheapest/second cheapest/low quality item there is (i.e. cheap bed instead of the expensive one). Once done, press Ctrl+Shift+C to open up the cheat box, and type in familyfunds [insert-family-name] 1000. Example: familyfunds Smith 1000. This will either reduce or raise your funds to 1,000 simoleans.

Finding A Daddy

You can either use townies, existing sims on different lots, or sims you created yourself (but are on a different lot) as daddies. Romance the sim, then Try For Baby. Give birth. Once the baby is old enough, send them to college (they must be 5 days away from aging into an adult, though) or once an adult move them out on their own. Repeat. Soon, the town will be filled with your evil minio- I mean offspring!

Other Rules
-Play with aging off, this prevents mom from becoming an elder and unable to reproduce.
-Babies can grow up in 3 sim days while in a good mood.
-Toddlers can grow up once all their toddler skills are maxed (talking, walking, and potty-training) and are Friends with mom.
-Children can grow up once they get an A+ in school, be level 5 in at least 1 skill and be Best Friends with at least 1 sim (not including family)
-Teenagers can age up once they are an Overachiever (A+ in school and top of their teen jobs), max out at least 1 skill, is at least Friends with everyone in the family and Best Friends with at least 1 other sim. If you have Uni and want to send them to college, they must also have at least 3 scholarships.
-Mom cannot get a job (too much maternity leave), she must do something else for a living.
-Mom cannot hire any extra help (maid, butler, gardener, repairman)
-No Matchmaker!
-The kids have to go to school, education is good :)
-If any child gets taken away by the Social Worker, you fail the challenge.
-Each father must be different
-No cheats! You can have 2 maxmotives throughout the whole challenge, however. (Don't waste 'em!)
-Mom cannot marry any of the fathers until she completes the challenge.
-If you have Open For Business, you can have a home business, but you cannot buy land and have a community lot business.

Questions & Answers

Q: If aging is off then how do I age up the kids?
A: 1. Buy a birthday cake. 2. Turn aging back on (you should have had aging off). 3. Use boolprop to trigger the child's birthday. 4. Blow out candles 5. Turn aging back off.

Q: Can mom and kids be another life state?
A: Yes, as long as you don't cheat to become that life state and you can still reproduce. Same applies to babies, only they don't have to reproduce.

If you have any other questions then leave them, I'll edit the first post with the questions.

Good luck on the challenge, I hope you have as much fun playing it as I did creating it. :anime:

[selfmadequeen]

This sounds challenging, but I'm afraid my computer will explode if I ever tried to load a family tree with 100 children... LOL I may try it though.

Also how do I know when the baby is in a good mood? Should I select them with boolprop and if their motives are all good then they can grow up?

The kid is in a good mood when their Plumbobs (thing above their heads) are yellow, green, or white. If it's red or orange, they grow up bad. :)

[Peni Griffin]

Babies don't have plumbobs because they aren't controllable. In order to know when a baby is in a good mood, you will have to use a cheat.

[ChappyTamTam]

Babies don't have plumbobs because they aren't controllable. In order to know when a baby is in a good mood, you will have to use a cheat.

Well, you can check their backgrounds in the family portrait selection, which is the same color as their current mood if they had a Plumbob.

[M3g7e]

Their portrait color actually indicates the state of their needs, which is not the same thing as mood.

[Peni Griffin]

Yeah; my babies are always green until they need a diaper change! I suppose if they were ever left without a bottle long enough they'd go yellow, but even if I zone on feeding them, at some point some adult or teen sim on the lot will autonomously feel like feeding the baby.

[ChappyTamTam]

Bump :)

Hey guys. Been months but I've started it. Here's some pics!

I made Heaven take up painting. She's still a starving artist but hopefully more simoleans will come rolling in the better she gets.

Amin Sims will be the father of Baby 2.

[TheKirbster1o]

I've already started but I made a mistake, I accidentally called the repairman. Do i have to start again ?
It's really hard with the fortune aspiration, they are always crying.

[MimiSim]

This one sounded so difficult that I had to try it. This my progress so far:

Meet Ameris

http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z431/MimiSim/Sims%202%20100%20Baby%20Challenge/meetAmeris.jpg

Ameris has just used most of her funds to purchase a modest home in Celestia Beach. Because she is a family sim, Ameris wants to have as many children as possible. Can Ameris rise to challenge and have 100 babies? Will she be able to survive starting out with only 1000 simoleans?

Ameris builds a relationship with daddy # 1 Trent.

http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z431/MimiSim/Sims%202%20100%20Baby%20Challenge/daddy1trent.jpg

When Ameris's Neighbor Trent Thomson knocked on the door to introduce himself, she felt an immediate chemistry. They started out talking and joking around and ended up kissing and making out. Ameris has already chosen him to be the father of her first baby.

Ameris works as a DJ

http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z431/MimiSim/Sims%202%20100%20Baby%20Challenge/amerisDJ.jpg

Ameris goes to the hub to earn money as a DJ. While at the DJ Booth she spots Benjamin Long admiring her. Could he be the father of baby #2?

Ameris is pregnant with baby number 1.

http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z431/MimiSim/Sims%202%20100%20Baby%20Challenge/amerispregnant1.jpg

Ameris and Trent decided to try for baby. Ameris has just entered her second trimester. She is looking forward to her first child.

Ameris first baby, Agrias is born!

http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z431/MimiSim/Sims%202%20100%20Baby%20Challenge/babyagrias.jpg

One down, 99 to go! :)

[DrowningFishy]

I would love to try this challenge but with out a job, eh, money would be to tight. Now if I could cheat and raise needs durning a X period of paint time that would be fine but painting doesn't bring in much money. And with all the eps I have that's all I have to raise money, that and star gazing.

[MimiSim]

Since my last update, Ameris has had 7 more babies.

Baby #2 Bella by Troy Go

I think by the end of this challenge Ameris will have probably woohoo'd with every man in my town. :)

[TheKirbster1o]

I'm going to start it soon.

[MimiSim]

I'm going to start it soon.

I'm having fun with it. I'm on baby #34 and still have a long way to go. :)

[rawrritsme]

Ohh, sounds fun. i'm definately going to have to try it. Going to be hard though! xD

[moonlight_frog]

Lol, this is like 101 Dalmatians except worse. I can't get familyfunds to work for me, though- how do you get it to work?

[MimiSim]

Lol, this is like 101 Dalmatians except worse. I can't get familyfunds to work for me, though- how do you get it to work?

You have be in neighborhood view to get it to work. It won't work if you type it when you are in your sims' house.

While in neighborhood view, open the cheat window and type
familyFunds familyname amount

For example, if I want the Oaks family to only have 1000 simoleons, I would type:
familyFunds Oaks 1000

Also, the cheat only works if your family is in the sim bin. If they are already in a house,
you'll have to move them out to get it to work.

I hope this helps. :)

[moonlight_frog]

Oh, no wonder it didn't work for me- I already had my sims in their lots when I tried to use familyfunds. Thanks!

[Selly_2009]

I've been able to use familyfunds regardless of where the family happens to be. The important thing is whether the family whose funds you're attempting to alter is the MOST RECENT household with that name. If not, the cheat won't work properly.

For example, if I want the Oaks family to only have 1000 simoleons, I would type:
familyFunds Oaks 1000This works fine if the Oaks household is the ONLY one of that name in the hood. If there is a second, more recently created one (say the Oaks family had a grown-up son who'd moved out), the money will come off of THEM, not the one you want it to.

The other possibility for the cheat not working correctly (I learnt this by experience) is when a household name has a space in it eg "St. Julien". If I typed the cheat in as MimiSim describes, it won't work.
However, if you use quotation marks around the name i.e. familyfunds "St. Julien" 1000, the game reads the section inside the quotes as a single word, and the cheat works again.

Hope that helps ;)

[Ally6429]

holy cow..... 100 BABIES?!?!??!? THAT'S A LOOOOOOT! Lol, like, my whole neighborhood will be just one family lol. :lol:

[Ally6429]

oops i siad 2 lols that was probably not neccesary (<---can't spell that) but whatevs.

[nicjmartin]

I plan on trying this one! But, I'll definitely be making a custom neighborhood, so I don't screw up a normal one! lol
Oh, I also have the Trips & Quads mod. is that okay? lol

[Hotty555]

Ok so I started a challenge BUT, I made it with a man its doing really well, I've had 70 babies so far and I don't want to start over, do I have to stop it though. I hope not..

[ChappyTamTam]

Hey guys! It's been a while since I checked in but I'm happy to see all the new updates. MimiSim I love your challenge, the kids are adorable! And mods are fine while I'd prefer to play without them. :)

[kaela2015]

i am really tempted to do this O.o... but knowing me i probably wouldnt follow the rules XD.
i would probably cheat and get that chick a job in natural science, get her all the way to the top so she only has to work once a week, get 10k per day at the top, and she gets the cow plant. then she can kill off daddies (or her kids >:D) so she could live longer. they would all live and die in the house until around ten where i would give up and send them away at adulthood because elderhood just takes so long D: . or i would kill them off. i would keep aging on. i would let the kids age normally. she would have a maid because even the poorest of my families have maids because im so lazy that i cant even make my sims clean XD.
i started the legacy challenge. the only reason it is still going is because there arent a whole lot of rules XD.

but ill probably end up doing this following all the rules anyways. it seems like awesome practice for balancing moods, work, and school!

you'll have to move them out to get it to work.

I hope this helps. :) Not necessarily, I was playing around with some of my hobo simmies and i did familyfunds with them while I was in the lot with them and it worked just fine for me.

[Trixie39]

I think I'm going to give this a try. It ought to be quite interesting!

[Trixie39]

I'm on baby #2. Only problem is that I have the aging off cheat on, and the first child, Vanessa, is still a baby. How do I get her to grow up while still having the cheat on?

[gaimanismyhero]

Turn aging off, then use either boolprop testingcheatsenabled true or you can download Sim Blender and age her up that way. I don't know if I'm allowed to post the link here, but google sim blender and it's the first link.

[Trixie39]

I just turned aging on and gave her some Elixar when she got older. So far I'm on baby #4. I have used the maxmotives cheat a few times too many because it got kinda crazy when she had two toddlers and was pregnant. Also when I was on a community lot searching for guys.

[MimiSim]

Monique has a great individual aging mod (http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=160414) that is perfect for this challenge. You can use it to turn off the mom's aging and keep the childrens' aging on.

StrangeTownChick, that's good to know. :) I wasn't really sure because I don't use many cheats in my game.

[loseyourselfelf]

Would acquiring one or multiple money trees be considered against the rules in this challenge?

[ella_in_wonderland]

Haha! I love this. I'm tempted to do it but I don't think my computer's strong enough :(

[RowenaLupin]

I could do this but I'll be using a lot of snapdragons that's for sure.

[shawnaleighx]

I'm just about to start this, looks fun!

[Shvana6]

You could always make the mom a vampire, IF you had Nightlife. Vampires don't age, it's a little bit annoying to keep them out of the sun, though. I did something like this when I had a vampire sire as many kids as possible. I got to 237. Then my sims crashed, but I didn't have to reinstall! YYYYAAAAAAAAAAYYYY!!!!!!
I lost the family, though. :(
