Re: 12th Birthday Party - BABY BOOM CHALLENGE
I'm officially all caught up on stories! I just wanted to put a note here mostly for myself!
In other news I'm looking at a slightly buggy house so I'm thinking about doing a neighborhood cleanup but I'm not sure at this point. I may need to build another house to move my kiddos into! Hopefully it doesn't eat too far into my play time!
I love getting to see everyone's kids! They're super cute!
Also, Julie, those signatures are super adorable! You've got such talent!

Re: 12th Birthday Party - BABY BOOM CHALLENGE
Been very ill and was bedridden again. I blame the teenager and his sickness infested school. In my misery I thought it would be a good idea to buy Need for Speed Payback and now I'm addicted. I should complete the game today or tomorrow, so maybe I'll turn my computer on again for the first time since before Thanksgiving.
I am hoping to catch up on my reading too. Not sure if I will be up to playing though.

Re: 12th Birthday Party - BABY BOOM CHALLENGE
By the way everyone! If any of you have ideas for mini-challenges then please suggest them here, we'd love to hear them
What does everyone think about me setting up a special BBBC section on the forums, or would it be better to just keep the stories in the 'Other Challenges' subforum?

Re: 12th Birthday Party - BABY BOOM CHALLENGE
I'm posting just to say that I'm caught up on my reading up to here. I also have loaded my game, but my graphics card had an update and now I have to fix the loading screen and graphics details again. I always forget to turn something off (hello interactive loading screen of stupidness) and this causes me to have to open and close my game a billion times.
I like the idea of a special area for Boolprop challenges.
Not sure if this is a mini challenge per se, but have all of us upload our kids and start the challenge with a female and male from two different stories for a genetic addition?

Re: 12th Birthday Party - BABY BOOM CHALLENGE
Ooh, Thai!
I'm not sure about it's own forum per-say, but I would watch to see if this challenge is still popular in the coming months (like if it'll continue to prevail as a strong challenge contender) before giving it it's own forum-space. If only just because this challenge may lose steam and then we'd have this whole ignored area of the forum for it. I like what Jenn said about having a general area for Boolprop Challenges.
As for a mini-challenges, I would say complete all LTWs of the kids... or wishacy style... or perhaps we could go someone apocalypse style and say only certain things are unlocked after x amount of kids or what not. Another one you could do is all random traits or No LTRs AT ALL (weeps at losing No Bills Ever and Motive Mobile for those tight spots). You could do one where the only way you can keep your founder/boom parents alive is through ambrosia made the old-fashioned way (thus taking away the easy way of having extended lives). Or a bonus for having all the children collect all the supernatural lifestates via the parents? Those are just a few to hit off the top of my head.

Re: 12th Birthday Party - BABY BOOM CHALLENGE
I agree with something to do with the kids otherwise they're kind of just there. I've been trying to complete as many aspirations as I can for a collective tally at the end (not sure if this will go into as much detail as skills each child did or just aspirations) You could do something similar to OWBC with the bad apple to mix up gameplay? Or restrict control of them? Ooh, a kids raising kids mini challenge that as soon as your oldest kid becomes a teen the parents can't look after the younger kids anymore so teens have to take it in turn missing school? I don't know if that would actually work in theory (maybe in TS4 with school vacation days) but unsure about how well it would translate to other games. These are just off the of my sleepy head so if they're bad just sayLivvielove wrote:As for a mini-challenges, I would say complete all LTWs of the kids... or wishacy style... or perhaps we could go someone apocalypse style and say only certain things are unlocked after x amount of kids or what not.
Mini portrait challenge - I am doing this and I've seen a few others doing it in their game too: grab a portrait of every child born in game (at teen/YA)
Part of me wonders if it would be fun/risky to have the parents get as old as possible (Elder for males, Adult for females) so that you'd need to micromanage their lifespans better otherwise, oops, the dad just died sort of thing

Re: 12th Birthday Party - BABY BOOM CHALLENGE
Update #10 is here!
Some great ideas already. Some things I'm doing in my game...
-LTR are fine, but only used by the sim that earned them. So.. mom gets enough for a motive mobile? Cool, but it can only transport her around, not the whole family and no switching ownership to a different sim. (I've made a once-each-lifestage exception to this.) A kid buys the collection helper? Fine, but it moves out with them (or gets sold when they move out).
-Painting a portrait of each of the 24 kids when they hit young adult. "Extra" kids are optional, and I may just do a cell phone snapshot of them.
-Trying to fulfill as many LTW as I can for the kids. So obviously the ones having to do with the jobs aren't feasible (I'm not having them stick around until they're a level 9 Scientist, for example), but if they roll wishes to master skills I'll try to get that done even if it means hanging onto them for a few days beyond adulthood.
-Extra challenge of keeping the parents young: No occults for them, approx normal lifestage (in my game, young adult is 28 days but it's also the only stage that can get pregnant, meant to represent the child-bearing years), and I've been using just life fruit. Though I've had enough LTR points for a young again potion for a while now (possibly two LOL), and am thisclose to being able to make it at the alchemy table anyway. Not sure if there would be an equivalent in TS2/TS4 though.
