The Sims 4 … I played an early version when I was in school. Almost 20 years later I stumbled accross a couple of Sims-Streamers on YouTube and started playing again.
When i first heard about the 100 Baby Challenge I liked the challenge for … well, for the challenge of having so many toddlers in the house. However I never wanted to play it. Mostly because I thoroughly dislike the idea of sleeping around with random people just for the sake of getting as many kids as possible – and (!) because all these poor kids were so miserable most of the time.
So I thought: Why not make a challenge where you have to build a happy family? I wasn’t sure how to fit 100 babies into this until I found the 10-generation-challenge. That was the point when everything clicked and the terms of my very own Super Challenge (100 happy baby legacy challenge) came to fruition.
I don’t want to bother you with the details here.
The gist of my Super Challenge:
- Build a happy family (from rags to riches) with 10 happy children in each of 10 generations. (EDIT: The fertile lifespan of female Sims might prevent that)
- No cheats or mods (besides stuff that doesn’t influence gameplay – like move objects in build mode).
I’m itching to start just by writing about it.
The next important question was:
Who am I going to start with?
And that’s when my inner author started to take over: I needed a blank slate, somebody without a family background she can rely on. That’s when Annie (!) was born (in my head) – a runaway obviously. Okay but where did she come from? She had to run away from somewhere.
- A terrible home! But why and from who?
- A horrific uncle who was staying in bed all day doing nothing but being spiteful. But why was he spiteful?
- Because his wife died in the same accident as Annies parents! What accident?
Well, I have to stop somewhere and maybe that’s something that we’ll discover during the Let’s Play.
Build up to the Super Challenge
First we’ll build a run down house to start her life. Annie will be a toddler in the beginning and will run away as soon as the game will let me move her out of the household.
Along with the girl and her uncle we’ll create a nice neighgbour so she get’s a little bit of assistance in her sorry life.
Live Stream coming up!
We’ll build all of that during the live streams I’m putting out and I’m happy to take your suggestions, either here, or over at my patreon page (where you currently get early access to all my posts).
I hope to see you soon.
