Baby Boomer IV: Family Tree Explosion

If your Teen's romantic interest ages up to Young Adult, does it still count?

If your Teen's romantic interest ages up to Young Adult, does it still count?

I would think so. The rules don't say the romantic interest has to be of a certain age, right?

What matters is that your teen has a Romantic Interest (as in it says romantic interest) and that it is unique compared to all others.   Age is not really a factor.

Okay, thank you!

Started my official file with Homer and Marge Simpson (LOL!). This really is a tear-your-hair-out kind of challenge! And thank you very much for the spreadsheet, Lena! I haven't got any patience when it comes to spreadsheets

This has to have been the craziest thing I've ever tried in the sims so far, the parts I thought would be the easiest turned out to be the biggest stumbling blocks.

I used my self sim and a YA sim bin copy of her husband Dallas Shallow and plonked them down in Sunset Valley, they managed to produce 12 nooboos before her elder birthday and six of those moved out.

Right up till the last moment I was hoping to get 7 moved out but my poor third born child never got any luck throughout this challenge and once more he missed out, and they say third time lucky 

So my score

6 moved out = 18
2 LTW/LTR done = 4
6 no LTW/LTR = 6

Final Score : 28

It was interesting watching the genetics play out, they all look similar but not identical, and one even got black hair from Dallas' mother June, for some reason I didn't expect his sim bin copy to carry his parents genetics, not sure why. I guess because all skills and everything are gone I thought those would be too and it's the first time she's had kids with the saved copy and not the original Riverview one.

It was fun in a pulling my hair out kind of way but i'm not sorry it's finished and I don't think i'll be having anymore nooboos for a while.

I started my scoring file today.  Now, I am use to having really large families in my legacy.  But this challenge really takes the cake!  I am not sure there is enough practice runs you can do to actually prepare for this challenge.

Congratulations on being the first to finish, Turoskel!  I haven't even hit Adult stage yet.

Are we allowed to adopt pets?

[ekobeko]

I am not sure if this was asked before but what happens if the baby isn't best friends with both parents? Do we fail?

It just means that you can't use the birthday cake to age the baby up early.

@saltpastillen - the rules say only offspring can be added to the household, so I would say no pets.

[ekobeko]

Okay, so other than the YA goal the others aren't necessary, they are just for caking up.

That's correct.

Ok I just finished my game.  I was pretty surprised that I got as many out of the house as I did and that I almost made it through the entire alphabet (I start the first kid with an A name and so on).

16 sims moved out = 48
2 LTW/LTR done= 4
6 no LTW/LTR= 6
Final Score: 58

I was hoping for a little more genetic luck during the first stretch of children, but I doubt it would have enabled me to get more kids out of the house in the end.  Good luck everyone else, it can make for a pretty long game!

Congratulations on finishing. I too am going through the alphabet for names. Although I am not being that inventive I have Ay,Bee,Cee,dee,Eey etc.
