2021 Mid-Season Major: Pam's Memorial Baby Boomer Challenge

[Teresa]

The original rules in Sims 3 were because traveling on vacation stopped time, I believe was the reason.

[Metropolis Man]

Oh, I totally forgot that, Teresa. Thanks.

Does this mean traveling to a spa for a fertility massage is allowed?  (For those that have Spa day.)

[Nandarelle]

I have one more clarification to ask for.

The stay at home parent must choose a Family Aspiration as well as get the Family Oriented trait and cannot pursue a career, although any way they can help make money is allowed.

Is there a restriction on aspiration-switching, or does the family aspiration only apply to the aspiration that is chosen in CAS?

That's fine.

I interpret the rule as no switching for the stay-at-home parent. You're locked to Family Aspiration. But, you can bounce around as much as you want with the other parent.

EDIT: Now that I think about it there would still be no reason the stay-at-home parent could not switch between Family Aspirations if you wanted to do that to get some more points. You just cannot switch out of one of the Family Aspirations.

I very rarely go on vacation but is it true that babies cannot be born when you are on vacation? Or am I imagining that.

That's true if you go to one of the destination worlds (Granite Falls, Selvadorada, Batuu). I don't know if it's true for if you rent a house in Mt. Komorebi.

[Teresa]

I think babies can only be born on the home lot or at the hospital.

[CynKuy]

For the freelancer career, how many gigs do you have to take per week?

[Metropolis Man]

If someone did aspiration switching before my rule interpretation above, then you are free to restart.

Hi everyone, I know I haven't been on the forums for most of this year, to be honest I've not had much interest in the Sims 4 lately and haven't really played for about a year.

I've only just found about Pam's passing, I knew she hadn't been online for a long time but it still surprised and saddened me. I know that some of you here knew her quite well, I hope you guys are doing okay. The forum lost a great and beloved member with her passing and this memorial challenge is a sweet way of honouring Pam's memory. I did briefly think about entering but I fear there's not really enough time and even if there were, I don't really like these types of child related challenges anyway.

I don't know if I will be entering any Tournament Challenges this year, I'm done with the Sims 4 (The Star Wars pack was the last straw for me), I've just lost all interest and I haven't bought any packs in about a year. I've been way too obsessed with other games anyway *Pokes avatar* (Props to anyone who recognizes it) and am thinking of going back to the Sims 3.

Anyway, I just wanted to pop in and say hi, let you all know that I'm still around and to wish you guys good luck.

[Metropolis Man]

Nice to hear from you, Rainbow. I think a lot of former tournament participants are hopeful for Sims 5 and are crossing their fingers that it will not be too long.
