Baby Boomer IV: Family Tree Explosion

[Ricalynn]

That's ok.  I'm doing the states of the US.  They're alphabetical order and I can annoy my sister by singing the song I learned in 5th grade every time one of them is born and I can't remember which state is next.    It's the little things you know.


Good job on finishing muffinman!

Hehe, just saw Ricalynn's post as I was typing this...

I also plan to use US states, and as per usual I'll be jumping right in rather than practicing first. Considering how well that's worked for me before, I should probably go with Canadian provinces instead. However, my main goal is to get some interesting-looking sims in the bin and of course to have fun with it, so even if Jim Bob and Michelle Partridge don't end up fully emulating their namesakes in the end, it's all good.

Good luck honey. Great names for your starting couple. I haven't even been inventive with naming my starting couple they are Ma and Pa Family.

Don't feel bad, babe.  I'm using Miss and Mister Breeder   I got some rainboos out of it though.

My family's name is Crowded. I got Crowder as a random name, and changed the r to d.

Incidentally, muffinman, did you include the parents in your score? If they've completed their LTW and bought an LTR, they get 2 points each.

I'm using simselves of my parents . . . (removed - Rica)  I sent them a pic of their family, and my dad said, "What a nightmare! This is why I had six kids instead of five."

Whoops, no I didn't.  I fixed my score, thank you.

Do we have to use a spreadsheet, or can we just use a notebook?

I'm hoping to start tomorrow or the day after.  No practice, i never play large families, so, don't think I could do this twice.

The spreadsheet is just a helpful tool and is not required to play the challenge.  Good luck!

Ok, quick question, I hope. I started the Baby Boomer challenge and I think I've got a good idea of what to do and what not to do. But after 11 days into my game, my mom Sim was trying to make gold from the Philosopher's Stone and was turned to gold. Now, luckily, I had a death flower on me. Now my question is, since I came back to life, can I continue or do I have to start over since she died? Also, if I didn't have the flower, can my husband resurrect me and still keep playing?

If she's alive, then keep going.  If she died then it would have been game over, time to turn in your score.

I named my family Jones.  The father's name is Indiana and he is dressed just like him, right down to the Fedora.  Naming the kids be alphabet.  Luck to us all!

Just started my scoring file - my mother is 33 days to adult. Eek! Hopefully I can make up the lost time somewhere...

Good luck everyone!

I'm finally feeling brave enough to join a challenge, off to start my file!
