2020 Mid-Season Major: A Townie Baby Boomer!

[GlazeyLady]

I think there is another question in here, though - when we do want to move a sim from one household to another so they can be a couple and Try for Baby, can we do that in Manage Households, or does one sim have to invite the other?  I want to check with the team on that and I'll update when I have an answer.

I was wondering if the team had made a determination on this, or did I miss it somewhere?

You can use Manage Households to move YA's and older to different households.

If a sim dies can their spouse remarry and have more babies. I'm talking accidental death or death by old age rules do not state I cannot kill sims but I doubt that I will be allowed 
 Also if I play the Goths can I play Cassandra as a separate household.

Rachel 

Any sim can only have/adopt babies with 1 partner during the challenge.

another question...

After the first birth/adoption, both parents must be good friends with all babies in the house and must be married before a second pregnancy or a second adoption.

is this just babies, or do they have to be good friends with other children or housemates?

It's specifically for all babies in the household.

perfect.  I tested the first week, and am excited about this challenge.  As you might have picked up on

Ok I'm just gonna lay my cards out on the table but Vivienne and Denis are taking up valuable real estate in my practice file do I have to wait for them to die if natural causes?
I know I can move them out but if I'm being totally honest I'd much rather keep Sims who can reproduce and Vivienne is just totally useless. On the other hand Denis could find himself some younger bride hmmm interesting..

Okay, so we've determined that Manage Households should be used to move the sims between households, but is it still allowed to move via invitations?

I see what you're getting at - no worries about what you want to do, Rachel. That use to be against the rules, mainly because it freaked out Pam. As long as cheat codes are not used you're fine.

Yes, that's fine for this specific challenge.

Since you've got a positive reply regarding the gender customisation, doesn't Vivienne become potentially useful?..

[ratchie]

Hmmm interesting last minute reprieve for Vivienne lol

Regarding Jesminder and Arun Bheeda again:

- If I choose to play them before Jesminder gives birth, do I have to wait until she does, then make her and her husband good friends with the newborn, and only then proceed to adoption if I want to?
- If I choose to play after Jesminder gives birth, should I give myself 1 point for her baby already born?

Yep. The "Boom" of Baby Boomer starts right when you start your file, so treat Jesminder like you had control over it. Jesminder and hubby need to become Good Friends with the newborn, etc.

- If I choose to play after Jesminder gives birth, should I give myself 1 point for her baby already born?

Yep.

One last question- can you play multiple households?Can I play w the Bheedas, then switch to playing with the Pancakes, then the Goths, etc, as long as I don't go back to the households I've already done?

Of course! That's the whole point of the challenge -- have as many babies in as many townie households as you can.
