100 Baby Challenge
 

Though I did see rules to this when the game first came out, the rules were more directed toward sims 2 rather than sims 3 and didn't really work very well.

Requirements

Sims 3 base game

Goal

Your goal is to have 100 babies in as few generations as possible with as many men you can and without using cheats.

Getting Started

• Create a female Sim with any traits you want (Neat, Artistic, Hopelessly Romantic, Flirt, Family oriented are GREAT to start with)
• You may choose to move her onto an already made house and expand later or start on an empty lot
• Now you need to send your sim out to MEET GUYS!

Rules

• Your founder may only leave the house to complete opportunities and meet men. She may not have a job.
• Infants may be aged up immediately if you wish
• Toddlers can be aged up as soon as they can walk, talk, and use the potty, but not before. If you don't get these done, you must wait for the game to age them up (same goes for Children and teens.)
• Children and Teens may be aged up once they have an A in school and you get the message about your child reaching Honor Roll.
• Teens may get a part-time job to help out.
• Young adults may be moved out immediately or you can wait, but they cannot get a full-time job while living in the house
• You may hire a maid, but you have to stop them from helping with toddlers (changing diapers, feeding, etc.)
• You may not use Apples or Watermelon to determine the gender of a baby.
• You may not choose traits for any Sim except the founder (trust me, my 2nd generation mom hated Art)
• The last girl to be born from the founder will continue the challenge.
• Your founder may not get married while living in-house.
• Your founder may be moved out as soon as she is an elder to make room, as long as there is another adult sim in the house.
• If you manage to not get a girl, obviously the challenge is failed. That's the only way you can really fail.
• You may not use any cheats, except for to reset a sim if needed.
• Fertility treatment is GOOD! USE IT!
• Once you've had children with a man, you may not use him again for offspring.
• Your sim may never hire a babysitter. You have to wait until other children are old enough to take care of it.
• EDIT You may not send your children to Boarding School, as the school takes care of the child which repeals the point.

Tips

- REPUTATIONS SUCK! Once your reputation gets to naughty, sims stop wanting to come over, making life extremely difficult. I would suggest making the baby daddy a boyfriend before you do anything with him to try and avoid that.

- Use your teens! Teens can help out with children and get part-time jobs to bring in the extra money to expand. If a teen is artistic, make sure to expand that skill so that they can bring in money while they live in-house! Making the founder artistic really helps. I'm on the fourth generation and we're still living off of money from the first generation.

- Sometimes you get babies that are the genetic clone of their mom, and when you're constantly having kids, it gets really old really quickly. Though the youngest girl should normally carry it on, but obviously your happiness is more important and it's okay to use a different girl at that point.


My Sims 3 baby challenge is here if you're interested!
http://amiisims.tumblr.com/100laynebabies

I'm sort of having a go at this, but not quite using your rules :-) I'm not aging up the children early at any stage - they have to live out each lifestage on the normal lifespan. I don't like aging them up early, it just seems like it would make things too easy really. Having said which, my sim has a toddler daughter, who'll become a child soon, and she just gave birth to f-f-m triplets - eek! I'm not sure how she'll cope! Still, at least I know for sure I'll have a daughter to carry on the next generation....

I find that the main challenge, in a way, isn't looking after the kids, but is getting males to try for baby with my sim so that she can have more children! I think that the fertility reward will come in handy though - if she's having two or three babies a lot of the time she won't need to get pregnant as often. She didn't have the fertility reward before the first pregnancy, but that was fine, because she hardly had any money then either and couldn't have afforded enough cribs and things.

It's quite hard work, but I am enjoying it! :-)

Well that's why I thought the honor roll and learning all of their skills as a toddler learned made it a little more difficult. As you have a full house, you'll see that it's hard to make sure all 7 children are doing homework and learning skills.

Yes! The men can be very difficult. There were times when I had to propose to the guy before he would allow for children, and breaking up with them kills me every time.

Well, I've discovered how to make this really easy if you have pets..... Get a dog, train it to hunt, and then make it sniff for collectables a few times a day. My sim adopted an elderly dog, and by the time it passed away it had earned the household about $12,000+ worth of metals, gems and rocks, as well as managing to put together a few of the special things (which all seem to be worth $1,000, but my sim kept 3 out of the 4 of them because they were quite cool).

Then there's no need to worry about money, your sim can have a big, fancy house with plenty of space for the children, and plenty of time to look after them because she's not struggling to pay the bills! Also, waiting for a couple of weeks in generation 1 before starting to have babies really helps, because then your sim can have a nice house and some cash put aside for paying bills and upgrading furniture/buying stuff as the children age. In my next attempt I'm going to wait until she has the fertility lifetime reward before she starts reproducing - that way she will probably only need to have one pregnancy every week or so, as she'll be having plenty of twins and triplets....

I've restarted this several times (and am just about to restart it yet again!), and I'm thoroughly enjoying it! :-) I'd certainly recommend it. I prefer this version to the idea of playing with aging off and making one woman have 100 babies - I like time to move on and sims to age naturally.

i like this one it is easier then the legacy one lol

i have a question can she travel to get a guy and get preggers on vacation???

also can i send the kids off to broading school???

Sorry for taking so long to reply!

I don't have World Adventures or Generations.

I would say yes to Vacation, but you have to take all of the children with you. If that's not an option, then no.

What age are sims sent to boarding school?

I like having aging on, too, and the natural progression of things which is why I adapted it this way. Thank you so much!

Also, I found that having a dog or any pet while having a house full of kids is super difficult because the dog is always lonely and a lot of work to keep happy!

- I believe children have the option for boarding school until they are at the end of their teen lifespan.

Yeah, you can send your sim kinds to boarding school any time between them becoming children and aging up to young adults. If you send them when they're children they age up to teen there, gain a trait (selected by the game dependant on which school they're at) and then you have the option to have them stay there as teens, and if they stay there for their entire teenhood they will age to young adult there, gain a trait, and then come home as high school graduates :-) They also gain skills whilst they are at school - which skills they learn also depends on which school they're at. Sending them to boarding school costs money - 800, 1200 or 1600 simoleans depending on the school. They pay that money as children, then again if they stay on at boarding school as teens.

See Carl's Sims 3 Guide for more information - it pretty much tells you everything! :-)

I will have to say no to the boarding school then, since it sounds like it pretty much takes care of your child which totally repeals the point. Sorry! ):

I think it would be a lot easier if you were allowed to Send children to boarding school. So i'd rather play the challenge without. It kind of defeats the point of the founder having to raise so many children as quickly as possible in order to have the required amount. (100..)

Can you use "Trigger Age Transition" if you remove 30 simoleons from the household funds for each one?

Yes, as long as the sim is eligble by the rules (knows toddler skills or has an A in school)

Makes sense to me! It would be masses easier if you could send the children to boarding school - you'd only need to look after them for about 10 days before they became kids and you could send them away until they were old enough to move out (as young adults)! Good call I reckon :-)

Thanks! I really want generations, though, it seems like it's amazing.

It is pretty fun. Though I bought the basegame and all EP's at the same time a couple of months ago, so I'm not 100% on what came with which EP. Were bunkbeds with Generations? I love those. To be honest, I wouldn't want to play without any of the EP's!

Back on topic, I'm just about to start another attempt at this challenge, this time set in Lunar Lakes, which I purchased yesterday and have failed to get into so far.....

I got bunkbeds from the store because they're super useful in saving space.

I'm excited to see how it turns out!

I'm going to be trying the challenge, but with a slightly modified set of rules. Here's the link to my blog (the intro post has the rules), so can you check if it's okay? http://nikki100babychallenge3.blogspot.com/
Thanks a lot! :D

I'll definitely bookmark this and follow it! Thanks so much for documenting it! (:

The only thing you changed is being unable to age them up early, yes? Do you mind linking the rules I posted on to the blog, just in case any one else wants to see the complete list? (:

Sorry for posting so many times in a row --

Update!
I'm getting Generations tonight and am thinking of starting this challenge again and then starting a blog - would that be helpful? interesting?

Made a blog! (:

http://100babychallengesims3.wordpress.com/

I'm trying this challenge, but I'm going for 100 babies from the same couple. In order for it to be possible, I also have to keep track of and fulfill wishes (including the lifetime wish, which is "surrounded by family" so that should be easy) so that they can raise enough points to get the "Young Again" potion from the LTR menu, go back to YA stage, and continue making babies! So, I can buy other LTR's, but if I want to complete 100 babies by the same couple, I need to save up enough points for both of them to buy the potion!

To make it more challenging, I'm not using any money cheats, and mother and father must support themselves by self-employment (mother's a gardener, father's a painter). As soon as one baby is born, they must immediately try for another. The only thing I'm not sure about is whether it's more beneficial to try and steer away from having multiples. The way I see it, if I have one child at a time, as soon as one reaches YA, mother can have another baby, and it takes less time. If she has triplets, she has to wait till all three reach YA to free up more slots for more babies. But I don't know if that is actually not beneficial yet.

And finally, I'm randomizing each babies traits, which will be interesting in raising them. It could also be a small kind of point system, where the more "good" kids you have, the more points you get.

That sounds interesting! The reason I did it in a constant motion was because I personally like the town to keep going and I like the idea of seeing how the genetics work.

I think it will be more beneficial to have multiples because that makes it so it takes less time to have all 100. Out of 100 babies, though, you're going to have at least a couple sets of multiples.

Update!

http://100babychallengesims3.wordpr...08/chapter-1-2/

I just started my challenge 2 weeks ago. I'm doing it similar to your rules. My toddlers age after they learned to walk/talk/potty trained. My kids and teens aged when they made an A. My young adults move out after graduation. I have it set where the babies grow up after a day. I did use a money cheat at the beginning (the back story was she won the lottery lol) but she pretty much drained the funds dry. My sim makes money by completing opportunities. The only issue I have is coming up with names for the babies and new males as dad. I hate having to sit there for hours creating new sims. I'm new to this and don't have any sim friends yet.

Try going to baby naming websites or naming them after flowers or your friends or just trying out names you like!

I'm not new to legacies, but new to posting here, too, and I don't have any friends either, haha! We can be friends!

I started out naming some of the kids after parties that I DJ at lol. Meaning a few have some ridiculous names lol. I also just got Pets and kinda wanna do a 100 kitten challenge with the 2 cats that my sim has. They already had 1 kitten but the kitten now lives with one of the older kids when she moved out. I'm actually doing a 101 baby challenge, gotta one up haha. My sim had 10 already and is currently pregnant. I hope she still is tho, not sure if my game saved or not. i quickly shut things off cause I found my cat near death this Monday morning. I haven't played since my cat's death. I did finally made a facebook page for my sim https://www.facebook.com/101simbabies I've tried the blog thing but facebook is much easier for me.

I'm sorry to hear that. My cats mean the world to me and I don't know that I would cope well with it, either.

Ooh, I'll go take a look!

I have a blog for this one, too. the link is at the bottom of the original post and I'll probably update today or tomorrow. (:

I think its time for me to play again so Collette can have baby#11 or so.

yay! (:

I might have to try this... It seems like it would be fun to attempt to do it within 4 generations (at the most) but I probably won't be able to. :P

The new patch crashes my game so i won't be playing until EA fixes it

It's fun to attempt to do I think within any number of generations. Plus you get really good at raising toddlers haha

Oh no. ): I'm sorry. I won't download the new patch then until you let me know if it got fixed.

How is everyone's story going? I was playing last night was going close to the end of a chapter and then my game crashes smh. I hate having to start over again.

I've been so excited for my Random Legacy and not quite sure how to do a blog for my 100 baby challenge, so I think I'm going to shut that down and then just let you guys know what's going on that way. I've no motivation do figure out a story line for the 100 babies at the same time as a storyline for my Random Legacy.

When I'm done with the 101 baby thing. I'm going to start a new challenge called All Girls. I'm gonna pick one of Collette's daughters for this. I'm still working out all the details. I'm thinking that she has to birth 10 girls and then one of the daughters is chosen to have 10 girls and this goes on for 10 generations. Think that would be much harder than the 101 babies cause this is going for 10 generations. My only fear is losing the game. It has happen on my sims 2 game twice before. And a friend of mines did start a 100 baby challenge but her game was lost. Plus with my game being on my DJing laptop and something could could happen with my music program while playing at a show and everything goes bye bye. I seriously need to buy a external hard drive so I can back up everything. Right now I'm dealing with another crashing issue but it's getting to the point where I just wanna stop playing the game period and I'm getting sick of this game crashing all the time. I didn't have this issue with sims 2.

Well it might not be the game's fault. Is your laptop getting overheated? Do you not have enough RAM? Really, the game runs really well as long as the computer is up to date with what it needs to run. Try lowering your settings.

It's the game. My laptop is super fast thus why I use it for DJing. I have to have a fast laptop for that.The game works fine until a patch comes out.

I think I know what happen. I had 2 default skin tone replacements. Oops. I removed the new one and got a non default version.

This is an amazing challenge! I haven't played a challenge in a while, since I finished my A-Z baby challenge, and this looks amazing.

I'm gonna have natural ageing on and not age any up until it happens, as I always play that way. The only difference is that I always play my female sims as gay, so I'll be using the same-sex pregnancy mod to get them pregnant. Is that okay by your rules? Also all the babies will have random traits because it's more fun that way! I think I'll set up a blog for the challenge actually, I'll post it here when I'm all set up :D

Thanks!
And yes, it's fine to use those mods if that's how you choose to play (:
I would love to see the blog!

So I'm up & running with this challenge now and loving it! I've just had my first set of twins, babies 2 & 3 :D

Do you guys add extra sims into your town at some stage? I was going to download a few just because I'm thinking after a few generations there will be a distinct shortage of non-relations left to spawn from!

Oh yeah, my blog is up if anyone cares for a glance? Updating roughly every birth, or just about when they turn to toddlers:

http://100babychallengesimmies3.blogspot.co.uk/

I've been doing something kind of like this, though its more like the Family Man challenge, really. I made my guy evil and with very unusual physical traits, such as red skin, white eyes, and red-black hair. So far he only has 9 kids and many a woman pregnant with his children. It won't be long though till he reaches 100 considering he only has to walk up to women and go straight to "try for baby" now! Chicks dig the bright red skin.

It looks great! I really like it!

Oh, that's hilarious xD

I had a same sex mod on my sims 2 game, it was fun. I also got some really messed mods for my sims 2 game. I wish there was sims 3 versions of some of my mods from sims 2. It would make my game more interesting. I'm currently (at the very moment) creating a few chapters of my sim's background. She's a orphan and I'm going to show why that happen. But it seems like my sims are more obsessed with their pet horses than actually doing anything. I have to keep pulling them away long enough to create this chapter. Now I wish that I didn't let them adopt them lol. I'm doing little side stories that connects with my 101 baby challenge. I love story telling, I use to write stories as a teen/young adult. The sims gives me a new way of writing and I love it. With the 101 baby story I've created a few male sims. Once I used them all then I'll create new ones. I also use the townies as well. Here's my story: https://www.facebook.com/101simbabies I notice my link disappeared from my signature

The link is still in your signature, haha!
I'm afraid of Mods, because I'm afraid I'll do something to mess the game up. I read about everyone having crashing games, and mine only crashed when my computer overheats which is my fault anyway. I'm super careful with CC, too. I only go to the exchange for it. I really like your story, though! Keep it up!

I'm currently on babies number 6 & 7 and my founder is about to age up to elder, I'm thinking of having her marry the last babies' Mum, because I really want her to settle down. If I do this though I won't let the other Mum help out with the babies or with finances, she will be there purely as a partner for Amelia How is anyone else getting on with this challenge?

Haha , I tried doing this . I just can't seem to bring myself to have more than 10 babies ! XD Lols , nice challenge , though !

Haha! I've only had four babies so far, (mostly because I don't play as often as I should)

http://100babychallengesims3.wordpress.com/

I've been super busy with my random legacy challenge.

Did you guys know that listening to the kid music on the radio increases likelihood of twins? O:

I Love this challenge it reminds me of the family man challenge but only in reverce

Thanks!
I could never get into the Family Man challenge.. I like raising the children.

Not sure if you're aware but there is a similar challenge out there, though the greatest difference between that and this is yours is set over various generations whereas the other challenge is set for one female sim's life span. Having said that, I do enjoy raising children, so these challenges appeal to me. I will say, to make things difficult (and more challenging) I will most likely adapt to lauratje86's way of playing and not prematurely age up children. I like to get the most out of every age, not rush through them (except maybe babies, those pupae things bore me! )

All in all, looks good. Might just have to give this one a shot too. Well done Amiisay

I'm currently up to 35 kids, 13 grand kids and 1 great grand kid. Mines isn't really a challenge anymore I made it into a story. My founder is engaged to her boyfriend who also lives with her, she has a job, 4 kids were sent to boarding school. I pretty much broke most of the rules lol. And my founder isn't always my main focus.

I've been doing this myself for the last two days--game kept crashing, so I'm still just on Gen One, but mama's preggers with Daddy 4's kid(s) now! :D

Edit: My sims needed to be reinstalled; new run is over here

Ray - Thanks so much! I posted it here because I hadn't seen it anywhere. Even when I searched Google, that site didn't come up! Thanks for heads-up, though!

Foo - Haha, it's okay! That's really awesome, I've been following it.

Joanie - I'm going to follow you on Tumblr so I can follow yours, too! My username is Samilove11.. I think? I never sign out so I'm not sure. xD

My founder aged up to elder the last time I played, now just raising babies until the youngest grows up, then she will continue the challenge. Amelia has 5 Grandchildren at the moment, I like playing it this way instead of having my founder have all 100 babies, but I think I might set up another one where she does that. Not sure yet

This sounds like an awesome challenge, But I use a Nraas od that changes how many Sims are allowed per house And i think i have mine set to 20 or something like that . Is it okay To have that Mod in my game or must i set it back to default (8 sims per house)?

I use Twallan in mines but I made my own rules.

I think Im going to do my own rules to... :3 Right now My "100 Baby Challenge" Founder's game is more like a combo between This and The Random Legacy , LAte night spin off thingy :P
ITs pretty fun i gotta say

MRC - I would recommend setting it back to 8 for two reasons - 20 sims are not easy to take care of unless you use cheats, and that gives you an unfair advantage if you're looking to actually compare with everyone else.


How many generations is this taking people?

My current stats:

Babies: 35/101

Baby Daddies: 12

Baby Mommas: 1

Single Births: 3

Twins Births: 7

Triplets Births: 6

Quad Births: 0

Girls: 20

Boys: 15

Occult Babies: 6

Grandkids: 13

Great Grandkids: 1

The last 3 babies were fathered by a female. So now Collette has a baby momma haha.

She's pretty! Good luck!

And then the first child in my challenge was born :D
Lol, His name is Benjamin (I'm in total love with his name for some reason)
But to let you know i set it back to eight sims per house But in my game I really want to keep the same dad so ya... But it's because The Dad ( Sebastion Vanderburg from Hidden Springs) And my Founder (Evilyn Land, Now Vanderburg! ) Make beautiful children
Anyways, Here's benjamin's cutie little faaace ! :3

Joining the challenge
 

I have created mry founder mother and bluith her home on a empty lot and am pregnant with my frist child by Jared Frio

can i be self employed

Yes. you can.

I'm doing my own challenge soon. 100 babies by my sim, Alisha Blair.
Then her last daughter will be continuing it.

MRC - He's so cute! and I love the name Benjamin, too. I use it all the time.

Sky - Self-employment is okay, since that doesn't give you an income except for what you sell and maternity time doesn't really matter.

Boo - Good luck!

wow how do people have 100 kids i can only manage 3 lol i have had 15 kids and that was wow annoying :O) good luck to you all

Well it's a little more manageable since it's over generations. (:

Hey, I posted another chapter in my blog. http://100babychallengesims3.wordpress.com/

Yay, I'm going to try :3
I'll get a facebook page in a bit- I want to do a bit of a story and blogs confuse me :3
My rules are the same with the exception of needs to static, i.e no hunger, tiredness, ect. :3

Okay, I've just started to make some money, and I've found that being a writer helps too, the royalty's are great for this.

Okay, crap.
My oldest toddler is....
Stuck.
So is my founder.
Their stuck in the 'Teach to talk' interaction, they finished but it was still on so I canceled it, and now its stuck with an red X on it, and nothing I do fixes it.
Any Ideas on how to continue?

Use ctrl+shift+c, resetsim firstname lastname

Tried that :c
They're just... sitting there.
My founder is frozen and my toddler talks ever the seconds, swinging his arms about =/
I'll try it again though.
Let you know if it works this time.

Worked this time!
Happy to have my sims back :3

Wait... To finish this challenge, do I have to get one sim to have 100 babies on normal lifespan? Or 100 babies in say, 3 or 4 generations? (Eg. 25 children/ generation) Also, are you allowed to "Ask to Move In" anyone, create simbots, or adopt a genie? Oh, and can you age the kids up if they have an A in school, even if they have only been a kid/ teen 2 days? Because that's happened to me, one kid is a teen (almost YA), even though they were born 4 days before their toddler sibling.

Lond way!
 

I'm up to 25 babies!

Pike - My intentions with this challenge was to do it over multiple generations. You may not ask anyone to move in, no simbots. What does the genie do? I've never encountered him. Kids age up upon reaching Honor Roll, so you'll get a message after they've had an A for I think 2 or 3 days straight.

Misjel - AWESOME!

100 baby challenge
 

I am doing this challenge check out my blog http://scarlettbabies.wordpress.com/ :p

hmm I think I might be doing this challange wrong I'm about finished with gen 1 and if I'm doing this right with 10 kids per generation it's going to take me 10 generations to get to 100

Tri - Take as many generations as you want, the goal is just to make it as short as you can. :D

I'm going to try this once I get my game back! I've never played with more than one generation before...I always set the aging up to long because I get too attached to my sims and don't want them to grow up/die XD

I finally updated my blog - screenshots and all! :D
CLICK ME!

Here's mah blog. ^^'

http://100babychallengethemaybebabies.blogspot.com/

I really like your blogs! I unfortunately can't continue mine because of some installing issues, but the game I started like last year is the one that I still play, and I'm up to 28 babies! I post all of my sims pictures here : http://amiisims.tumblr.com/

You guys should post here when you update so I can keep watch!

Okay! I just put up chapter 1.3 in diary form - tell me if you like it better than the way I was doing it before.

I read it, I actually liked it better in third person but it is ultimately up to you since it is your blog!

Chapters 1.4 and 1.5 are up, and back in the third person! The other way took so long to write XD

Is a nice and difficult challenge :o
I would not make it without tricks!

100 babies is alot!!!! Has anybody completed this, tell me how many generations it took. If I tried this, it would probably take me about 30+ generations. I dont have that much free time. But it seems fun though :P

I'm at like 30 babies in the 4th generation now, haha. If you just keep having kids, it shouldn't take more than probably 13 or 14 generations, at the LONGEST. I'm going for 10 generations, but it may take 11 ):

How do you keep track of how many babies they've had?

I am doing this challenge. I have had my frist baby check out my blog here and please comment on how i could improve
