Baby Boomer IV: Family Tree Explosion

[Antalia]

Toddler Stage Goals:
• If a Toddler learns all 3 Toddler skills (Walking, Talking, Potty Training), plus reaches level 3 in another skill then you may cake up the Toddler.

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but, for "reaches level 3 in another skill", do only the xylophone and peg box fit the requirement? Or does completing the yellow (Painting) or green (Writing) child development book sets, meet the requirement as well? Thanks for your help!

The books, peg box, xylophone all apply because you reach level 3 in all of them.    To reach level 3 in the books, all three in a series must be read to them.

Welp, looks like I am done.  Aging glitch has hit the family, no one is aging.  Cake isn't working, resetsim isn't working, game just locked up and crashed. 

Moved out: [8] = 24
Still at home/Complete: [1] =2
Still at home/Not complete: [7] = 7

Total = 33

@Teresa -- can you go back to an earlier save before the bug hit?

@Teresa -- can you go back to an earlier save before the bug hit?

I thought about it, but after losing several hours worth of progress (normally I save after every birth and achievement but hadn't saved at all when it crashed), I decided to just call it.  I learned a lot  though and kept getting distracted by all the new goodies I hadn't had a chance to play with.

Well that was a crazy roller coaster! I'm almost sad to be getting off the ride! 

Layla and Rayan Goodyere had 18 children total.

Kicked out: Canary, Raven, Falcon, Chickadee, Finch, Dove, Sparrow, Wren, Robin, Pigeon, Cardinal and Jay.
At home without LTW/LTR: Swan, Oriole, Crow, Tern, Eagle and Duck.

12*3=36
6*1=6
2*2=4
Final Score: 46

This challenge is killing my soul. I'm either doing it very, very wrong, or very, very right. Haha.

But seriously, I know there's an easier way to complete the child stage, I just cannot figure it out. Augh.

[xakzen]

I'm game sign me up.

[Shirin]

Just start your official file, and when you're done, post your score. No sign up necessary.

[PSDuckie]

I have a question about what's allowed.  (Removed for strategy talk - Ricalynn)

[Ricalynn]

PSDuckie -  I removed what you said because that could be considered strategy.  If you want to do that, that's up to you as long as it doesn't break any of the Edit Town rules. 

[Femke82]

I finally finished. I underestimated the time it would take to complete the challenge, but I am very happy with my score. I think I discovered some of the strategy, but I still think there is more that I didn't figure out.

Mom and Dad had 32 children of wich 26 got kicked out of the house. Non of the remaining children completed there LTW, but both of the parents did.

26x3=78
2x2=4
6x1=6
Final score: 88

[Snufflesxx]

I think I have to surrender! *waves white flag*

Okay, Homer and Marge Simpson had 6 kids (Bart, Lisa, Maggie, Nelson, Ned & Maude) and only Bart moved out. Homer got his lifetime wish and unique LTR. Nobody else did so that makes...

1 (Bart) x 3 = 3
1 (Homer) x 2 = 2
6 (Marge & remaining children) x 1 = 6

6 + 3 + 2 = 11

[Pam]

Well done, Pam! I'd love to see some of the kids 

Eight of them are in the Swap Shop now.

Oh my God, I thought last year's pet challenge was nerve tweaking.. but this one almost killed me!  LOL   If I never have a sim get pregnant and give birth again I will be happy!   

Kids Moved Out - 9 x 3 = 27
Mom and Dad Sim in home  both with LTW and Unique LTR - 2 x 2 = 4
Kids In Home No LTW or LTR - 2 x 1 = 1

Total - 33
