Baby Boomer V: Location, Location, Location

[Metropolis Man]

Baby Boomer V: Location, Location, Location!

Goal
As with all Baby Boomer challenges in the past the ultimate goal is to have as many kids as possible and to get them out of the house quickly to make room for more. But, this year we thought we’d add a fun new twist and make the various different places the mom can get pregnant a scoring component too.

General Challenge Rules
The General Challenge Rules always apply. If applicable, exceptions will be noted below.

Specific Challenge Rules

• Create 2 Young Adult Human Sims. Pets made in CAS are fine too.
• Everybody in the household must remain Human life state for the entire challenge.  Life state doesn't matter after they have been kicked out.
• Your starting two Sims are the only Sims allowed to Try For Baby. They can only Try For Baby with each other — no other Sims.
• Your starting two Sims must always live together.
• No moving.
• No Inappropriate or Irresistible trait.
• No Heat of the Moment kiss for teens.
• No Genie Lamp.
• No vacation/future travel/University.
• No Drinking or Throwing Elixirs.
• No Coffee Beans or Herbs.
• No adding to the household except for pets and Try for Baby offspring (no adoptions or cloning).
• No boarding school for kids.
• Photography is banned.
• No Time Machine.
• No tutoring a child.
• Butlers, Bonehilda, SimBots, and Plumbots are banned.
• Maids and Babysitters are okay.
• As soon as an offspring reaches Young Adult, they can be kicked out of the house.
• Only Young Adult can be kicked out / moved out of the house, nobody else.
• If a social worker takes any child away it's game over. Total your score at that point and post in this thread.
• If anyone in your household dies it's game over. Total your score at that point and post in this thread.
• This challenge ends at Week 4, Day 7, 11:59 PM.

You are only allowed to cake up the kids if..

* Baby Stage: The baby is best friends with both parents.

*Toddler Stage: The toddler learns all 3 toddler skills.

*Child: The Child’s school grade is an A and has a unique Best Friend outside the household. If a given Child is claiming Sim A as their unique Best Friend for the caking up requirement, then no other Sim can have Sim A as a Best Friend.

*Teen: The Teen’s school grade is an A and has a unique Romantic Interest.

Scoring

This Baby Boomer is scored on the number of Sims in your Family Tree plus a multiplier is added for different locations where the mom became pregnant. Only products of your starting two Sims can be scored. Accidental kids from an alien cannot be scored and must be immediately returned to their home world.

Family Tree. Open up one of your starting two Sims’ Family Tree tab and count the number of Sims below your starting pair. Give yourself 1000 points for each Sim underneath your starting pair (do not score your starting two Sims).

Location. Give yourself a bonus for every different place where the mom becomes pregnant (i.e. bed and shower are two different places). Listen for the lullaby jingle. Note: The Try For Baby object must be different. So, if you use a bed on one lot and also use a bed on a different lot, you do not get credit for two different places because they are the same object. Also: For a Location score to count the mom must actually have a birth as a result of that Location's Try For Baby.

Lullaby Jingle Clarification:  Sometimes the jingle doesn't play, it is up to the player to know how to determine if the mom is pregnant in that particular location in order to count the "location" score.

Everyone starts with a Location multiplier of 1.00. Add 5% (.05) to the multiplier for every different location where the mom gets pregnant.

Write down all places where your mom gets pregnant in case the team needs to verify.

Example: You get to Week 4, Day 7, 11:59 PM and pause your game. You open up your Family Tree and count 21 different Sims underneath your two starting Sims.

21 X 1000 = 21,000

You also have kept track of your mom getting pregnant in 5 different places.

5 X .05 = .25

1.00 + .25 = 1.25 for the final multiplier

Total = 21,000 X 1.25 = 26,250

Ch-Ch-Changes
The team does not want to edit and make changes to the ruleset once this event goes live, but we may have to. This seasons’ events are shorter and the team has less time to test potential loopholes. If an exploit is brought to our attention or we discover something else we reserve the right to ask affected players to redo their effort.

Have Questions?
Please think hard before you ask in the challenge thread because it may be strategy. What you may consider an innocent question could cause another player to go — “oh, I did not think of doing that.” It’s always safer to PM everyone on the team (Metro, ratchie, Nutella, and Blackrosea) for clarifications. Thanks.

[KRae]

Busy time of year for me, but I'll give it a go. I won't have the time or mental energy to practice so I'll probably have a mediocre score, but that doesn't bother me in the least.

[saltpastillen]

An IF counts as an inhouse sim, correct?

Correct.

[Canucklehead044]

I am very excited about this challenge! Usually I play large families with lots of kids. So, I should get a decent score on this challenge  !

[Metropolis Man]

Boarding school for kids has been added to the ban list.

[Pam]

Oh, oh, oh!  I like this one!  The location is a great new twist, and I have to express my extreme happiness at not having to get the kids' lifetime wishes and stuff done!  Young adult, kick them out!  Love it!

I agree, Pam. Being only 4 weeks long we had to boil it down and make it simpler so players could still have lots of babies. Good luck in this event. 

[_Annika_]

Agreed! I'm loving this faster-paced simpler challenge set!

[Nutella]

Just added:  Everybody in the household must remain Human life state for the entire challenge.  Life state doesn't matter after they have been kicked out.

[Metropolis Man]

Just added the following new restrictions:

• Your starting two Sims are the only Sims allowed to Try For Baby.
• Your starting two Sims must always live together.

[Blackrosea]

The following rule has been updated:

• Your starting two Sims are the only Sims allowed to Try For Baby. They can only Try For Baby with each other — no other Sims.

If we choose to start with a pet, do we have to keep them for the duration of the challenge, or can we put them up for adoption or move them out with a kid?

Player choice. I see no reason why you could not do either option.

So excited glad my computer got fixed in time.
