Rainbow 100 Baby Challenge - Graveyard please! :)
« on: March 07, 2018, 04:34:56 AM »
UPDATE: decided to start over with a new founder. sorry and thank you!

I started a 100 Baby Challenge on my own, but unwittingly broke the rules by using a young again potion, as I thought I wanted the same mother for all the children. I was 12.5 kids in! I was also making it harder on myself, because I waited until the children's actual birthdays, and filled up all five character traits. I decided having an heir will be much more fun, thus begins the Rainbow 100 Baby Challenge!

We begin with Scarlett Rainbow!



She's a lovely, rough-and-tumble lass with commitment issues a mile long. She still desperately wants to raise a brood, though, and plans to do so no matter what. Her traits are Family Oriented, Cheerful, and Loves the Outdoors, and I've chosen Super Parent as her current aspiration. All five of her outfits have a touch of red. As you can guess, the next heir will be orange, followed by yellow, and so on. All of her kids besides the heir will have red-themed names.



We begin at Bargain Bend, now known as the Red Residence, in Willow Creek. I will be updating this for every week of gameplay, meaning every in-game Sunday. I'm curious where Scarlett will take me!

(Note: Each child will have their traits generated using: http://www.simslegacychallenge.com/sims-4-legacy-challenge-random-trait-generator/. They will also have all five character value traits, if I can manage it!)

Week One



We began the week by getting close to Mortimer Goth. Wonder why Alexander is so suspicious?  ;)
He refused to get on board. It was infuriating. Usually I have no trouble, but oh man oh man. Took me almost an entire day to convince him!
It seems like a bad start, but I was determined to have ole Morty be the first.



The inaugural Woohoo! It begins  ;D
Shared the Big News, Asked Just to be Friends, and Morty is on his way out the door, never to be seen again.



Momma is going to be making her money three different ways: collecting, gardening, and fishing.
So far it's been pretty lucrative, and she's on the last stage of the collecting aspiration, the second stage of gardening, and the last stage of fishing!
She's also working on the Friend of the World aspiration(2), and of course all of the parenting ones.



Okay, I lied, now it really begins!
Miss Ruby Morticia Rainbow was born Wednesday night at 11:21 pm! Weighing in at 2 MB, and 700 pixels long.



Round two goes to Geoffrey Landgraab, another OG and another favorite sim of mine.



Time is a ceaseless burden, and Ruby's quickly become a feisty, independent young toddler! (I used a random number generator and got 7)



So much for so long! Daddy Mortimer made a random appearance at the house, so I seized the opportunity for some daddy-daughter bonding time.



Dad-to-be Geoffrey then showed up, but with no spawn to snuggle he helped Morty double-team Ruby's stacking skills.



The week ends with a final victory(for Geoffrey). Miss Cardinal Georgia Rainbow was born Sunday evening at 5:03 pm!
Double girls, hopefully we'll get some variety soon 8)
Pro tip! You never have to buy bassinets, they will be generated for you and sold for a cool 150. The game basically pays you to reproduce!

Having trouble deciding who to bed next, so feel free to suggest!

Nice start you have gotten yourself there.
Are you following a special ruleset for the 100 baby challenge?

And you could always go for Don Lothario

Thank you kindly, Lena!
Ah, yes, Mr. Lothario is an easy go-to. And one of the OGs from sims 2. Classic.
He was the first donor in my previous attempt.
Only "special" rules I've got is my color theme, and that I'm going to try and max the kids character values before they age up!
Other than that, it's a pretty vanilla deal :/
But, I'm excited! Generational play is my favorite kind of play, so it should be a blast.

Thanks again for stopping by ;D

Love that line, made me laugh out loud.

Baby-daddy potential in Marcus Flex, Salim Benali, Travis Scott (his blonde hair is still going strong 4 generations into my Apocalypse challenge).

Were you able to kick them out? I tried this a while back and Travis scott and Don lothario would come over, then refuse to leave! Like there was no option to kick him out, and he'd try get in the bed to sleep, but then wake up again because his earphones were in!

And if you have vampires I'd go for Caleb Vatore next he makes really cute kids

Ah thank you so much, Helen! I live to please :P
Oooh I'm for sure going for the Flex, since he's an adult and I'll lose the opportunity quicker.
Lothario is a YA so I'll wait a bit longer.

Anna, that was happening to me when I invited people over, but these two showed up on their own and left on their own eventually. Mortimer did stay around for nearly 24 sim hours though, but not as bad as in one of my other saves where Don Lothario didn't leave for four days.
Unfortuntaley I don't have vampires, only the four expansions, parenthood, toddler stuff, and kids room stuff.

Thank you both for reading! :)

Week Two



Began the week by stopping by Mr. Flex's new place, where he lives with his... wife.
I actually prefer the challenge of married men, if you haven't figured that out yet.
But his non-commital tendencies made this an easy bag, and thus baby #3 is on the way.
(Yes, the push-ups were all it took.)
His immediate priority upon stepping into Scarlett's threshold was not getting in bed though, oh no.



He decided to harass poor baby Cardinal first. What a great father he'll be ::)



An unfortunate realities of being a single mom that is trying to make money in the least effective ways possible is that your kid's tablet winds up babysitting them a lot.
Poor Ruby :(
Luckily momma does her best to get in time when she can!



In the blink of an eye, Miss Cardinal is a big girl now! She's also become the bane of my existence, because a random number generator gave her a six, which is fussy.
Forget picking favorites, this girl just plummeted herself out of the running. She's in third and baby #3 is still in utero.
Just look at that inaugural demon stare. She. Knows.



Exhibit A. Look at that cheeky grin when she refuses to be potty trained by her poor, heavily pregnant, mother.



But, then again, it's cute sometimes having my three blondies hanging out together.
Thanks to mom pitching in, Ruby got to level 3 on all of her skills on Wednesday at 1:49 pm!


A quick cake-bake by the super-mom Scarlett means that we've got our first child in the house on Wednesday at 2:49 pm, 3 days before she was due to age up!
The randomizer gave her Bookworm as her trait and Artistic Prodigy as her aspiration.




Here's a barrage of blatantly Mortimer's spawn cute childhood Ruby photos.
Enjoying the fruits of her mom's labor, getting that empathy up, heading off to her first day of school, and playing that godawful instrument for the required 5 hours of her aspiration.



This is such a mood. Have fun doing this for at least a couple dozen kids basically every night, sweetie :-*



Unsurprisingly, Geoffrey showed up out of nowhere!
Surprisingly, he stayed for nearly 24 hours, left for a bit, then came back for another 48.
What the actual heck, dude.



Here's... I dunno, proof of that endeavor?



Of course Morty showed up too, it was Cardinal's turn to get double-daddied.



Speaking of the devil, did I mention how much of a heathen that child is?? Because she's the actual worst.



Aaaaaand it's a BOY!! Welcome to Willow Creek, Mr. Brick Marcus Rainbow.
He swooped in on Thursday at 5:44 pm.
(In my last attempt, I stopped with 8 girls and 4 boys, so I was wary to say the least)
No multiples, though, so I can still complain about something.



In case you thought Geoffrey had left at that point.
There's no stopping the Geoffster.



Next up, Mr. Baako Jang. He was the only other adult I could think of at the time that I was like, "okay, yeah."
Plus, the Jang women usually go wild when he dies, and I'd love to have that in my family tree.
Did you know there are no redheaded original townie men?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I was originally going for and I couldn't find one.
But Baako is fine. And family-oriented, so maybe we'll see him as much as Geoffrey :o



Here's more to complain about.
Apparently Scarlett has super genes, and all of her kids must be blonde.
I'm going for variety here, game. Come on!!
Oh, and he rolled a 4, meaning clingy.
I'll take it, at least it's not another demon spawn(carefully eyes Cardinal).



To the surprise of LITERALLY no one, Daddy Marcus stopped by and showed him some love.



Here's a bonus picture of all the dads flocking to the home, including... Bjorn Bjergsen??
I guess he was just asking to be next in his own... special way.

Yes, these men are appearing without prompting.
Am I annoyed? A little. But I'm also taking advantage and making them (gasp) raise their children, so it's fine ;)

Wow. This is going to be a fun ride to a 100 babies. Cardinal throwing her food around is a nice photo! For us! Who don't have to deal with her!
It is a little thing of my own. I call it "Heart Foam". I shall not publish it. Farewell! Patience, Patience, farewell!

Exit Bunthorne.

Thank you so much Heart Foam!
Yeah, I'm curious what trait she'll roll for childhood. I smell a redemption arch!

Halfway through week three! Update should be posted soonish, possible in a day or so.

I changed one of my lot traits to Private Dwelling, hopefully that keeps all the daddies from harassing us all the time.
I feel like it takes away some of the challenge.
I will miss Geoffrey though :( ;)

Also, Cardinal aged up and has a case of the magical changing eyebrows, fair warning.
It's a purely cosmetic glitch that's been plaguing my save lately.
So if she suddenly has brown or black eyebrows in a picture, that's why!

This is fun! And I love your baby daddy choices. I'm curious to see if the lot trait keeps the overzealous fathers at bay. And I'm dying to see how the kids look all aged up!

Week Three



Okay, maybe Cardinal isn't all bad. It was a little bittersweet to have her finish up her toddler skills (which she did on Monday at 12:03 pm).



At 12:22 pm, Cardinal aged up with 3 days to spare! She became... Good?? And an Artistic Prodigy. But... GOOD?!?!
I am SO suspicious of her intentions.




Here's the obligatory pics of Cardinal as a child!
She is very cute, but I'm still extremely suspicious of her motives...
The girls started actually putting up with each other now that their lives weren't a constant battle for mom's attention.
I mean, they still battle for mom's attention, but at least it's not constantly anymore.
Besides, we already know who the favorite is.
Keep up, Cardinal 8)



Not long after Cardinal aged up, Mr. Mahogany Baako Rainbow was born on Monday at 6:37 pm!
I loved how excited little Brick was to have a baby brother. Too cute :'(
You guys will have a waging war like your sisters yet...



Speaking of cute, here's some little Brick love before he aged up. He was such an adorable little guy!
I wish I took more pics :(



On Thursday at 7:21 pm, Brick got 3 in all his skills with 3 days to spare, and was aged up at 7:44 pm!
I loved having the sisters celebrate for him! It's a first since Cardinal was aged up while Ruby was at school.
He rolled Perfectionist, and became our THIRD Artistic Prodigy :-\
He initially rolled Squeamish and Rambunctious Scamp, but I had to re-roll because I don't have that trait in my game.
Why is that even a trait???



Some say my heart grew three sizes this day...



Decided to grant Bjorn's wish and made him baby daddy #5.
Noticed a pregnant Nancy Landgraab while I was seducing him, which reminded me to change my MC Command Center settings.
I prefer only YAs getting pregnant so there aren't a ton of abandoned children everywhere.
...It's also cool that Cardinal is getting a little sibling, I guess!




Thursday at 7:04 pm, Mahogany became the CUTEST toddler to ever grace this Earth.
Like, when I saw him I legitimately gasped at how adorable his little face was.
And the first with black hair! I covered it so he wouldn't feel left out ;)
He rolled a 5, so Wild! is his trait.



Couple of days pass, and we arrive at the park for Ruby's first big birthday, when Momma Scarlett goes into labor ::)
I wasn't paying attention to how far along she was! Whoops...
Love how Mortimer was panicking, though.
Although it might have been because he was about to have a teenage daughter, forget the woman in active labor.



Ruby got to meet her big brother and sister and spend a little bit of time with dad before speedrunning her birthday party.



On Saturday at 1:37 pm, Ruby aged up with 3 days to spare!
She actually got her A on Friday, but Empathy and Conflict Resolution are much more efficiently maxed in childhood, so I took the time to do that.



Here's what her info looked like the day she aged up. She also completed her aspiration, Artistic Prodigy!



Here she is, the newly Cheerful(although that face says otherwise), continuing Bookworm, who now dreams of being a Joke Star!
I don't know how the randomizer works, but boy is that aspiration outta nowhere.
She's a Goth. How could she ever be funny?!



She's already been super helpful with her siblings!
Once again, Mahogany is the cutest too oh my goodness my heart :'(



To end our week on a high note, Miss Strawberry Bjalla Rainbow was born on Sunday at 4:57 pm!



...and joining her, Miss Cranberry Bjanca Rainbow!! TWINS!!!
I was terrified my game was broken or MC Command Center was messing with it, because I have the Fertile trait and my house is On a Ley Line.
Anyways, welcome to the world, it's BERRY nice to meet both of you ;D



I leave you with a final parting gift, of Marcus Flex waking up pregnant-with-twins Scarlett in the middle of the night to use her bed.
This is why the daddies had to go!
Fortunately, Private Dwelling seems to have done the trick :)

Until next time!

Oh, good! A teen to help with the babies! Certainly more helpful than those dang fathers. What is Marcus thinking?
Mahogany is adorable, and that bear hoodie suits him perfectly!
