Hello everyone,
I'm brand new to the forum though I have been lurking for a while, and with the release of the Supernatural EP I decided to come out of hiding to post a project I thought of while playing around with one of my families. With Pam and Metropolis Man's kind approval, here are the rules.
I haven't test played it yet so if anyone does take it on and there are problems within the rules, please let me know and I'll change them. Also, if you do play it, I'd love to hear your feedback and read your stories.
Enjoy.
The Story:
Many years ago, in a magical land, a fairy fell in love with a witch (or werewolf). Knowing her family wouldn’t approve, she eloped with him thinking to escape their wrath. Naturally, when they found out she had married an outsider, they were horrified and decided to curse her with the worst thing that could happen to a fairy. Small wings.
Devastated by the loss of her beautiful wings, she searched everywhere for a cure, finally discovering that in order to regain them, she’d have to give birth to a boy with all the powers of the Fae. Her husband, however, was determined to create the most powerful coven (or pack), the world had ever seen and to do so he needed twelve daughters and so he had placed a powerful charm on his wife on their wedding day.
Due to the fear that someone would indeed form a coven this strong; the rulers of the kingdom had placed restrictions on the number of people who could live under one roof at any one time. Limited to eight members, the couple realized that in order for both of them to realize their dreams, they would have to raise seven of their girls to adulthood before either dream could become reality.
Luckily for them, an unknown wizard had created a magical item known as Birthday Cake which would age their children to the next stage of their life long before their time. However, as with most magical ‘cheats’ there were a few glitches in the magic. If their children used the cake before they completed certain requirements, they would be cursed with hideous afflictions and lose their magic completely; dooming the creation of the coven and ultimately delaying the birth of their mother’s saviour.
The Rules:
Create a couple; a fairy and a witch OR werewolf. They must be Young Adults. Gender isn’t important, however the fairy must have small wings, and if the father is the fairy, the children must all be male, or if the mother is the fairy, the children must all be female until the birth of the thirteenth child. Use watermelons to have girls, apples for boys. The witch/werewolf parent MUST have the Leader of the Free World LTW. If you would like to create a same-sex couple, you are permitted to adopt children, however you MUST adopt them from the baby stage and they MUST still be of the opposite gender to your fairy sim. However, due to the ease of adopting the correct gender, you will automatically lose 5 points on scoring.
All LTRs are allowed, EXCEPT for the King/Queen of the Fae. All elixirs are allowed. In the case of a non-magical child being born, an elixir may be used to create a fairy/witch/werewolf YA before they move out, provided they meet all the requirements in each stage of their lives.
Provided you meet all of the requirements in each life stage, you may choose the traits for your children. If you don’t meet them and your child ages up without the cake, they may still have magical abilities, however you must roll a six sided dice to choose a ‘negative’ trait:
1. Absent-minded OR Unlucky
2. Coward OR Loser
3. Mean-Spirited OR Supernatural Skeptic
4. Dislikes Children OR No Sense of Humour
5. Hates The Outdoors OR Technophobe
6. Hot-headed OR Over-emotional.
You may NOT choose a trait that does not fall under the number you roll. If you have twins or triplets and choose to use a cake on one of them; you have to use the cake on their siblings whether or not they’ve completed the requirements. If they haven’t completed the requirements, you must roll the dice for them, and they lose all magical abilities, requiring another child to take their place in the coven.
Money cheats are allowed, although it may be more challenging to earn your simoleons as you play.
Aging must be set to Normal. Having the supernatural parents automatically gives them a lifespan long enough to raise all those kids, since they’re starting off as YA’s. If for some reason you cannot reach thirteen kids before the threat of a birthday to elder appears, you may use a LTR or an Elixir to restore their youth.
Life-stage Requirements:
Babies: Must be left to age up without cake.
Toddlers: Must learn to Walk, Talk and be Potty-Trained. Must also be Best Friends with both Parents and have read at least one children’s book.
Children: Must be get on the Honor Roll (if playing on a lifespan above normal they must be on for three days, have one Best Friend unique to them, and at least Five Skill Points in any skill/s.
Teens: Must be on the Honor Roll for three consecutive days, have two Best Friends unique to them, at least Ten Skill Points in any skill/s and a Part-Time Job.
YA: Unless they were born without supernatural abilities; they are ready to move out and make space for the next set of siblings. First though, they need to have their own alchemy set in their inventory and a YA portrait of themselves in their ritual robes hanging in their family house. If they were born without magical abilities; use an elixir on them first; paint their picture and boot them out.
When the thirteenth child is born and grows into their powers – normally as a teen, you may purchase the King/Queen of the Fae reward for the fairy parent and change their wings. If you haven’t managed to meet all the requirements by the time the thirteenth child comes along, your witch/werewolf parent is doomed to fail in their attempt to take over the world, and must immediately quit his/her job if in the political career track.
The challenge ends when the coven is complete (twelve magical children); there is one Fairy child of the opposite gender to the fairy parent; the fairy parent has the LTR of King/Queen of the Fae, and the Witch/Werewolf Parent has achieved their LTW.
Any children ‘mistakenly’ born in the opposite gender before the thirteenth child will not count and may be ‘aged’ prematurely and booted from the house without repercussions, however this shouldn’t happen if your sim starts eating watermelons/apples from the moment she gets the ‘nauseous’ moodlet after trying for a baby.
Scoring:
1 point is given for each child.
1 point for each requirement met for each child.
-1 for each ‘negative’ trait given to children not meeting the requirements.
-5 each time you need to ‘replace’ a child who is aged up with the cake without meeting requirements.
-1 each time a parent sim needs to restore youth.
-5 if you’ve adopted a child to count towards completing the challenge.
PS. Scoring is a personal choice.
