Baby Boomer

Goal
It's time once again for the annual forum favorite - Baby Boomer. As always the goal is for your starting couple to have as many kids as possible - age them up quickly in order to make room for more kids.

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

Specific Challenge Rules

• Create two Human YA in CAS -- one male and one female. You may not use the Gender Customization options.
• You are allowed to use the Buydebug cheat for the sole purpose of purchasing a satellite to prevent abductions.
• You are allowed to place a spa, restaurant, and use the Kids Room Stuff pack.
• All traits for children must be random. Please use this site to assist you in that regard. The Aspirations you roll from the linked site in the Child and Teen stages must be completed before you can choose another Aspiration. Aspirations after the initial one is completed do not need to be random. Before rolling for the Adult aspiration, uncheck the 2 Family aspirations, the Leader of the Pack aspiration and the Grilled Cheese aspiration.
• No more than two adoptions (must only be baby stage) allowed per week.
• No moving allowed.
• No contact with Jasmine Holiday — no visits and no calling her.
• The only additions allowed are adopted babies or babies born in household to the mother or father.
• A Baby may only be aged up early if both parents are Good Friends with the baby.
• You may only age up a Child early if they have acquired (spent and unspent) 1000 Satisfaction.
• You may only age up a Teen early if they have acquired (spent and unspent) 3000 Satisfaction.
• You may only move out a Young Adult if they have acquired (spent and unspent) 7000 Satisfaction.
• The game ends at 8 AM on the 7th Sunday. Make sure to keep track on a sheet of paper with marks for every Sunday.

Scoring

Your score is based on how many Young Adults have been moved out plus you receive points based on the life stage of the remaining offspring in the household:

YA Out — 5 pts for every Young Adult moved out before 8 AM on the 7th Sunday
YA In — 3 pts for every Young Adult remaining at 8 AM on the 7th Sunday.
Teen — 2 pts for every Teen remaining at 8 AM on the 7th Sunday.
Child — 1 pt for every Child remaining at 8 AM on the 7th Sunday.
Total — Add all the columns together to obtain your Total.

A little spreadsheet to help keep you organized can be found here.

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. 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, LenaLJ, Trip, and MarianT) for clarifications. Thanks.

And the Winner is...
After this event has closed everyone is encouraged to discuss how they approached the event, but the winner especially is expected to do so in detail.

The 7 Sundays start with the one the game begins on as 1, correct?  Just checking that I'm understanding it's a six week challenge basically.

Correct. Your first day of the file is Sunday #1.

One more question - Are we allowed to hire the new Nanny service that came in the free update?

For now, since it is not banned, yes.

I'm a bit confused...does this mean six Sim weeks, or six "real world" weeks?

Sorry, I'm new to the Challenges and just want to make sure I understand everything. 

[Ricalynn]

Six sim weeks.  So on the 7th Sunday in game is when you stop per the rules.

Great, thanks for clearing that up for me! 

[Ricalynn]

Since the rules have been updated to say no gender customization, does that mean we should make one male and one female Sim?

Yes. I will clarify.

UPDATE:

UPDATE:

Revised sentence
- The only additions allowed are adopted babies or babies born in household to the mother or father.

Two questions:

1) Nannies
@MarianT has posted the banning of nannies in the Immortal Dynasty Rival Dynasties Challenge thread because any sim who encounters a nanny becomes immortal?
Does that mean a child meeting a Nanny never ages? Should we consider nannies banned for this challenge as well?

UPDATE:

Added
-- Hiring a Nanny is banned.

For aging up early requirements, do they just need the points or to also complete the first aspiration?
