The Sims 4 - The 100 Babies Challenge: Day 2

Well today Taylor and Martin became proud parents of twins, they have a son called Xavier and a daughter called Rose.

Xavier

I played for so long that while Taylor was working on the next father to be the twins ages up into toddlers. Xavier became a wild toddler while Rose became a silly toddler

I have never played with toddlers who have the wild or silly traits so this should be fun.

Xavier likes to run around with no clothes on and Rose likes to talk to herself in the mirror.

Rose

The best thing about having twins is that they like to talk to each other and play with the doll house together which helps their attention go up so while they are happily playing with each other or talking to each other I had Taylor do some freelance work and do some flirting with the next father to be.

Taylor managed to snag the guy and get pregnant again. Taylor and the new father Yoogi Min had twin girls together Savannah and Abbie.

I found it quite hard to look after 2 toddlers and 2 babies while trying to keep Taylor's needs up and have her working that I have just stopped taking some gigs.

I managed to send my sim to the park in a happy mood where she became friendly with a few sims including Clement Frost and Mortimer Goth.

The Sims 4 - The 100 Babies Challenge: Day 1

This is Taylor Ziegler, she is my Young Adult sim who will be starting us off on our 100 Baby Challenge journey.

Taylor's aspiration its to be a Super Parent, her traits are Family Oriented, Creative and Bookworm.

Taylor Lives in Newcrest on the 30x30 lot in a house that I made. I gave the house these lot traits On Ley Line, Fast Internet and Great Soil. (You can download the lot from my gallery its called Aurora Manor, it has a few CC's in it, You may notice the lot traits are different in the picture than I listed that is because when I moved in I changed them but I plan on changing them again when she's had her 5th baby (that's a rule)).

With me moving onto Newcrest, I added some houses around the neighbourhood, a park and I've downloaded some households from the gallery. (I know this is against the rules but due to it being an empty neighbourhood I thought it was okay.)

Another rule also states that you cannot expand your house but you can move around to different houses as long as you can afford to move into it but I have adapted this rule so that I can expand my house but its the house that each breeder will live in until they are Elders.

The rules also state that you cannot get a wormhole job, so Taylor has taken up freelance writing.

I have decided that I am going to pick a number or get someone to pick a number for me and press the randomise dice that many times to name my Sims, give them their traits and aspirations.

*****

During my first day playing this challenge she got all cosy with a Sim named Martin Archer (I think he was a gallery Sim) and she got pregnant by him and their is a little buff that says "On Ley Line (from lot trait)" so I am thinking that she maybe having twins.

New Challenge

Well I'm getting a little bored of the Rags to Riches Challenge now she has a house and is kinda living happily so I have decided that I am going to give the 100 babies Challenge ago, my sister is also going to give this challenge ago with me the only difference is I have all the expansions and games packs and CC's and she has the base game and parenthood and no CC's.

I will post a picture of my breeding Sim Taylor tomorrow.

We are following the 100 Baby Challenge rules that are posted here

The Sims 4 - Rags to Riches Challenge: Day 5

All my hard work foraging, fishing, gardening and painting has paid off. I was able to build a house.


I played for longer today so I played for more sim days than I normally do which meant I was able to earn a lot more money to be able to buy more things.

I used the computer at the library to order myself 2 of each seed pack and planted them in by back garden then sold the leftover flowers and put the fruit and vegetables in my fridge to make cooking certain items cheaper.

With my sim being able to sleep, shower, use a toilet and cook proper meals she was maxed needs most of the time and because her gardening skill increased she spent time talking to her plants so that her social skill went up.

I bought her a flower Arranging table before I logged off so that she could use her flowers to make arrangements and then sell them at her yard sales or just sell them if I needed the money to pay bills.

My house has a 3x3 size bathroom with a shower, toilet and sink, then she has a 4x3 size bed room with the second best bed, then the whole front on the house is a kitchen living room in one where there's her cooker, fridge, counter, easel and a cheap sofa.

The bathroom and bedroom walls have been decorated and the out side of the house has been decorated, I debated on wallpapering the inside of buying windows so I didn't have to buy lights and I went with the windows.

I'm going to take some time away from this challenge and do something else for a few days but I do intend to continue the challenge and get her a mansion.

Sims 4 - Realm of Magic

So EA announced today that their next game pack will be The Sims 4: Realm of Magic. I am looking forward to this and the trailer looks really cool. The game is being released September 10th, luckily I will have a whole month to play before college starts.

The game pack is adding a new neighbourhood called Glimmerbrook which has a wooded area with mysterious pathways which means it is another secret place like in Oasis Springs and Willow Creek that when you go through the portal will take you to a place where you can learn magic.

There will be spellcasters in this new place who can teach you spells and you can do experiments on cauldrons and collect elements to make potions.

We will of course be getting some new clothes which will come in handy for those of us who have seasons and want to go trick or treating.

I can't wait to introduce magic into my up and coming legacy family who you can read about them in a few days.

The Sims 4 - Rags to Riches Challenge: Day 4

Day 4 was pretty much like day 3 she foraged, gardened, painted and did 3 yard sales.

I had my first lot of bills which were $40 which wasn't too bad and meant that I could build a 3x3 room attached to my lot so I could put in the shower and toilet.

From my foraging and painting I was also able to buy the cheapest fridge, counter and cooker and sell my fire pit and chair.

I'm not gonna lie but now she is happy most of the time I am getting a little bored and I am probably going to play something else for a few days.

The Sims 4 - Rags to Riches Challenge: Day 3

Whooo I have 4 walls

Today has been a good day I did the usual foraging route once she woke up and then I gardened and did a yard sale where she sold almost everything and I had enough money after selling all the flowers, fruit and vegetables and fish in my inventory, the bush and a couple of paintings to build a 4x5 size room with a door and put in the cheapest bed, shower and toilet.

After I built the house and gave her a shower she mainly fished and painted, she is happy most of the time but her fun and social needs are often low.

The Sims 4 - Rags to Riches Challenge: Day 2

Today has been a slight improvement but still hard, she did her daily lap of the neighbourhood foraging and got a few items to sell on the stall but I had trouble with keeping her fun and social up.

She was able to eat the fish she fished up and the mushrooms and strawberries in her inventory to keep her hunger up and she used the bush for the toilet but she crashed and burned a few times from exhaustion until I took her to the park so she could sleep on the bench.

With the money I made from the yard sales and selling the flowers I bought her an easel, I know I should have bought her a bed first but I thought an easel would be better seeing as she can make money painting which she seems to enjoy due to her being a creative sim.

The Sims 4 - Rags to Riches Challenge: Day 1

This is Kaley Gruber (I randomised the name), she has CC hair and clothes.

Her aspiration is: Mansion Baron (Was Big Happy Family to start with)
Her Traits are: Foodie, Outgoing and Creative.

I moved her into Willow Creek onto the Daisy Hovel lot and bulldozed the house and then took away all her money and changed her aspiration.

Playing with zero money and no house has been a challenge to say the least, she spent most of her time at the park so she could use the toilets, nap on the bench, eat hot dogs made by a random sim and rummage through the bins.

I managed to harvest some Bluebells, Snapdragons and Roses as well as Strawberries and Mushrooms and when I took her home I planted two rose buses and one of the others and sold the rest of the flowers so that I could buy the bush for her to sleep in and use as a toilet.

The next morning I foraged around the neighbourhood and got more food to eat and flowers to sell as well as some frogs, fossils and time capsules. I breed the frogs and then sold the one I had made as it was a duplicate and I sold the fossils and the MySims Trophies from the time capsules and got enough money to buy a "Come and Get it Street Store" which I then used to sell more items over the next few sim days so I could get a fire pit and chair and put my fishing skill to use.

Day 1 Recap:
Harvested fruits, vegetables and flowers
Baught a fire pit, chair, bush and yard sale table
Gardening Skill 2
Fishing Skill 2
Had two fires
Money $72

Back From My Break

So I haven't posted anything on here for a long time due to personal reasons and college but since I have been gone I have played a lot of the Sims 4 for more of an escape from everything than anything

I am now back with all the expansion packs, games packs and all but 4 stuff packs and a brand new laptop so I have no lagging issues.

I haven't really played a family properly since getting back into the game, I've made some families and played for a few hours and the next day made a brand new family and started again although I did play one Sim and manage to get to the top of the Doctor Career.

I have been reading through some challenges on the Sims 4 forum and bookmarked the ones that I want to give a go so I can print off the rules when I go back to college next month but after watching Clare Siobhan's Dream House series I have decided that I am going to give the Rags to Riches Challenge ago first.

One thing I have learned from watching Clare's Dream House series is how to download mods so I have a lot of CC clothing and clutter for around the house, I don't download trait/aspiration mods as the ones in game are good enough for me but I do have the MCC mod.

So tomorrow I am going to make my Sim for my Rags to Riches challenge and I will post a picture of her and then I will post updates on her progress.
