Oh Lorde! Queen Bee Challenge (October 11th)

Post by Radiochocolate »

The Queen Bee Challenge was created by Tacos4sims, rules originally posted on TSR (though I found them here). The basic idea is to create a female sim and have her spawn 60 children with 10 different men moving in and out of the house (Elixir of Life is necessary). The rules state to use the 'deleteallcharacters' cheat before creating your sim, but I have enough corruption in my game as it is.

I'll be writing this story in the same way as Rex wrote his How-To Legacy, a step-by-step guide with the chapters as volumes. The difference is that I won't be installing new expansion packs each chapter and that there will definitely be conversations between me and my sims (that you'll know of).

Volume 1: The Basics of Breeding
Volume 2: Do's and Don'ts of Raising Larvae
Volume 3: Beeconomy 101
Volume 3.5: Rules of Fraternisation
Volume 4: Bonding in Biology
Volume 4.5: Tellerman Tales
Volume 5: Hive Sweet Hive
Volume 5.5: (Cox & Tellerman families)

:alert: My SlideShare profile is available here, in case some of you are having trouble accessing the chapters through the Livejournal links. I myself have been seeing an "address is invalid"-message thanks to the HTML adding 4 slashes instead of 2, in which case you can just take them straight out and hit enter.

Heh, I was nearly there at 60 with my WYD challenge. If there were 16 more letters in the alphabet I would have had 60 kids. >_< Anyway, nice start. Looking forward to the other 57 kids.

So, I just read all three. What a challenge! And I really like your style, here. It's fun and informative. For instance, I now know:
Spoiler:
Not to even bother hiring a butler, unless I just want to woohoo with another service NPC. Bleh.

Also, don't hang previous lovers' portraits in your bedroom.
I laughed a lot at this. Really, I should have made notes, so I could give you all the comments, but by the time I finished, I forgot them all, from laughing at the next joke, and the next one.

Oh, and btw, whenever I need to clear out the townies in a neighborhood, I just put one sim on a blank lot, use testing cheats to add the death creator, then plunk down Paladin's Visual Teleporter, and one by one, I teleport them in, and kill them off. It works for SimBin sims, as well, except that they MUST live on a lot. So, I'll move them in, kill them off, move in another batch, and kill them off, etc. Finally, I can kill off the last one, and have a nice cemetery going. In fact, if I want a community cemetery, I can have the last living sim move all the graves to a community lot, and then have them visit that community lot, and kill them off there.

This way, there is no file damage from deleting all sims, but at the same time, all the unnecessary sims are gone. Paladin's Visual Teleporter sorts sims by group, and shows their picture, so you can tell just who you're getting. It's found at: http://www.paladins-place.org/main.htm. There's a lot of great stuff there. Check it out. He even has a fix for the useless housekeepers in Bon Voyage hotels.

All of my other projects should be moved to the graveyard. But I have a new computer, at last! WOOOOT!

Thanks for reading, and thanks for the tip! I've actually peeked at Paladin's stuff before, even downloaded a few things. I was going to put in clean templates before creating the neighborhood but the last time I tried something didn't add up and I put the back-ups back in. I'll save your instructions for later though.

Would you guys be interested if I posted updates of the kids? I thought about doing narrative ones with just the important happenings over a long time, or I could do more inclusive ones with a bit of humor too.

I like updates for kids. If you're not keeping them in eternal-life sparedom, then you can incorporate their stories into the main line, or just show their new lives far away.

You're welcome for the tip. It takes a long time, but in my opinion, it's worth it to set up a clean neighborhood. Also, it gives you a great supply for zombies and ghost stories.

Oh, man! I can't open it! I can get to the page, but I don't see the chapter slides, and when I try clicking where they should be, I get "You are not connected to the Internet" message, which makes no sense, because clearly, I AM connected.

I'm sure it's a good chapter. Hopefully, I'll be able to read the next one.

Yay I'm all caught up.
Spoiler:
I love the writing style in this one. I would've never thought to do things step by step. This makes me want to try a Queen Bee. *adds to random challenges for Silver Bend* Oh Kennedy, he just can't keep it in his pants. I love the toddler gate, it's so cute.
I was gonna ask if you we're planning to play the kids out, I see that you are. That's cool, It's nice to see that they have lives outside of the main house. Do you have any special plans for any of the kidlets?
Can't wait for the next chappie!

Spoiler:
It's kind of fun, though I tend to mix up the styles in my head, for example writing a narrative for this one or a step by step for the TPC xD Good thing I proofread everything! Oh dear, I'm kind of hoping my simself won't get that draw. I'm planning to keep all the kids at the same age, i.e. only playing them after all 60 have graduated. I don't have any special plans besides careers and partners, but they might appear as townies in the next challenge I'll be attempting in Silver Creek. Thanks for reading!
I'm halfway through the next chapter, but everyday life is getting a bit in the way, so no promises. Though I can mention that batch 2 has successfully left the nest.

Spoiler:
I'm planning on Joe, y'know the dark-skinned Fortune sim with a brown hoodie that's appeared several times already. Once the Fortune males are cleared, I'm going for Amin (even though they don't have much chemistry).
Now I need to figure out how to do the rotations so it becomes somewhat even both age-wise and slide-wise. Thanks for reading!

You still have a long way to go, only 12 kids so far. Enjoy the Stabby Death Nose, or Ben Longnose I rarely use it that much. Anyway, it's a holiday weekend in Canada and I need to play my Apocalypse. Nice update though. :thup:

2/10 is better than nothing! I haven't actually used the Pleasantview townies all that much, so I'm a bit excited for the Stabby Nose of Death and all the other genetics. I should probably work on my apocalypse too. Thanks for reading!
