Yae's 100 Babies 16: 103 Babies! (30 Apr 2022) [Completed]

[oshizu]

Yae - hussy or dedicated to her mission? Poor Hilary, lol! I guess Yae got Serial Romantic early on and always downplays Baby Daddy relationships back to just good friends?  But the fallout in their ongoing relationships...

What do you mean by "fallout"?  Once she's pregnant, she doesn't need that baby daddy anymore.
Plus, she's hooked up with so many elders; they usually pass on before their kids reach the toddler stage.

Will Saturo make it to the finish line too? Or will you need to train up another helper? I just know you've got plans, notes and calculations!

I'm planning to keep until just before he becomes an elder, so he has about 3 weeks left.  Yae will need one more helper to finish up.

As for my "plans, notes, and calculations," I do use a spreadsheet where I record conception, birth, birthdays, and move-outs.
It helps ensure that, whenever Yae gives birth, there's room in the house for her to immediately try for baby.
I also need to track the aging of vampires so I don't accidentally age them up before the weekend starts.

I'm wondering about the saving sims to gallery. Do you save all your offspring just in case and at what point in their aging? I've never worked out that strategy except for my Wonder Child->Apocalypse Rapunzel.

There's really no point in my saving any of the offspring to MyLibrary.  Once they're YAs and moved out, I'm done with them as far as this challenge is concerned.
Also, there haven't been any baby daddies or offspring that I like enough to save them for later use, except perhaps Naoki Takahashi (Satoru's father).
I have added a handful of clean library clones of male sims from different saves, though.
Yuki is a particular favorite!  I'd add his father, Taye, but I don't want to deal with a vampire baby daddy with no sunlight resistance.
Haha, maybe I'll cure his varmpirism before cloning him to add to Yae's world.

I had an idea this morning to have another of my favorite sims come in for a short staged update, where he discusses all the mistakes Yae made in the first four weeks, haha.
It is entirely possible to finish the 100 Baby Challenge in 16 weeks with a single matriarch, but I made some super-damaging mistakes when I started out.

[oshizu]

Wow! You are motoring through this challenge! I'm stuck at 27 babies (but I didn't know about the occult double so it's probably more like 35 lol) I get bored with the constant skill grind

Mags, darling, it's so wonderful to hear from you!
Yes, Snarky Witch/Ashleigh added an "Occult Incentive" in which every occult child counts for two children.
I hope you'll go back to your game and re-calculate your score! 

The only real skilling is with the toddlers, but I hear you.  This challenge is a G-R-I-N-D, for real! 🤣🤣🤣

[Magpie2012]

I need to check whether I made notes on who was vamp and who was caster... I don't really play much with aliens and mermaids. Also, my kids are stuck inside 90% of the time so the whole sun resistance isn't an issue lol they don't have time to get burnt up if I'm keeping them inside and as candidates for the Sims 3 "stir crazy" moodlet 🤣

[oshizu]

To age up into YAs, my vampire kids (who become susceptible to sunlight and thirst after their teen birthday) have to go to and from high school for one day.
That is really the only time I worry about them burning up, but it's still a stressful hassle, lol.

[oshizu]

10: Young, Gorgeous, and Single


Week 10, Sunday (2nd week of autumn)
Korine and Lance Ghomari start out as toddlers this morning.
By early evening, they age up to children.

After night falls, the Benali vampire twins age up to teens.
Jazlyn is my prettiest daughter so far.


After doing their homework and extra credit, the teens visit the Well.
The Well guarantees Ian an A on Monday, but grants Jazlyn an A.
She immediately ages herself up to a YA then prepares to move out.



Monday
It's just past midnight when Jazlyn moves to Forgotten Hollow.
Jazlyn's vampire siblings welcome her into their spacious home.
Brother Ian will join her there after his first and last day of high school.


Hours later, I give birth to twin vampboos.
I need to jot down which days are the best for conceiving vampboos.
It's not so hard to simply switch around my order of baby daddies after all.


Max Elias: So, what now? I'm married but I'd happily throw it all away for y…
Yae: Actually, now we become just good friends.
And then I discuss with you about expanding your family.
*proceeds to ask Max three times but gets shot down each time


Satoru is so ready for Ian to bring home his A grade from high school.
He's already lit candles on a birthday cake for Ian.
And he's mixed a Sunlight Reversal Cocktail to place in Ian's inventory.
Ian ages up then joins his vampire siblings in Forgotten Hollow.



Tuesday
Satoru: FYI, my birthday's in 23 more days.
Let's keep an eye out for a spellcaster with good traits who can become your next helper.
Yae: Nom, nom, nom.
Satoru: After I leave, I can still return to give your new helper magical training.


Near the cake shop, I run into that merman Ukupanipo's second wife, Yuki.
I talk with her about expanding their family and she agrees!
Oh please give birth to some merboys, Yuki!
(In fact, his first wife Venessa Jeong had twin merboys who are now teens.)


The Ghomari twins don't resemble each other at all.
Korinne seems to have inherited my features.
Lance, on the other hand, resembles his father.



Wednesday
All toddlers are adorable, but the Laurent twins are devastatingly cute!
I give the tiny vampires the hairstyles of their father, Hector, and his wife.
Their father's family name is Laurent, but the children's feature look quite Asian.



Thursday
Oh my goodness! I give birth to twin spellcaster girls!
And they represent a sort of milestone in my challenge as well.
Peyton is my sixtieth baby born!


Ah, the beauty of youth!
The redheaded Neptune Momoa is only my second young adult lover.
It's so refreshing to be with someone who isn't Dangerously Tired.


Maurice and Nicole come into their vampiric powers today after school.
Though Maurice has his father's eyes, the twins resemble me more.
They share my jawline and nose, wouldn't you agree?
Both very attractive vampires, in my opinion.



Friday
This morning, Satoru and I find a superior way to protect our vampires.
Better than umbrellas or Sunlight Reversal Cocktails.
Satoru uses Dr. June's Weather Control Machine to select "Cloudy Skies."
Look, Maurice and Nicole stand outdoors without even needing umbrellas!


Yae: Satoru, isn't there a way to make life here more fun without getting hysterical?
Satoru: Well, I bought that dart board plus a Don't Wake the Llama table.
And that Deluxe Drink Tray also offers Fun +7.
Yae: Thanks! We really needed other fun things to do besides the swing set!


I've focused my discussions for family expansion on either occult sims or their spouses.
To my frustration, a few such couples have adopted a child instead of birthing an occultboo.
Since I have only three mermen in my simverse, I do NOT want them adopting!
Thank you, Yuki, for having your priorities straight!


Maurice and Nicole return home with As and their umbrellas.


They age up without their umbrellas and without the Burning moodlet.
So, yes!  Cloudy Skies are a win for my vampire children!
Now, let's get you two moved out to Forgotten Hollow! Ciaozinho!


Satoru: The Elias twins become toddlers tomorrow and you give birth on Sunday morning.
We should go out tonight while we can!
Yae: Where do you suggest?
Satoru: What about visiting the Magical HQ and Glimmerbrook?
Yae: Great idea!  I can start looking for my next helper's baby daddy!


Yae: What's a gorgeous sim like you doing in a place like this?
Taye: Who me? I'm a spellcaster who recently moved into this simverse. And you?
Yae: Well, obviously, Destiny guided me here to meet you. *makes him her boyfriend



Saturday
We raised Odessa and Peyton Elias from toddlers to children today.
In the evening, my new boyfriend Taye pays me a visit.

Due to the need to carefully time the birth of vampboos, Taye can't be my next baby daddy.
But he's definitely next in line.


Yae: If only all my baby daddies could be young, gorgeous, and single…like Taye.
Pretty sure Watcher owes me one for all I've been through!

Taye: I can't believe Watcher's hooked me up with someone who's already slept with half of our simverse.
Pretty sure Watcher owes me big time for sacrificing my genes to this challenge!



Week 11, Sunday
I give birth to the Momoa twins early this morning: Qwynn and River.
Then, I'm off to Forgotten Hollow with Liam Flex.
Liam is definitely young and gorgeous, but he's married.
Oh well.  You know our kids will be beautiful!




Progress: End of Week 10
*Total Score: 54/100 children moved out (includes occult bonus +15)
*Moved out this week (plus 11):
  - Mon: Jazlyn Benali (#48/49)
  - Tue: Ian Benali (#46/47)
  - Wed:  Korinne & Lance Ghomari (#50 & 51/52)
  - Fri: Maurice & Nicole Laurent (#53/54 & 55/56 )

*Current Household:
  Matriarch: Yae is 16 days to Adult and pregnant by Liam Flex
  YA: Satoru Takahashi (#22/23) [helper]
  Children: Odessa & Peyton Elias (#57/58 & 59/60)
  Nooboo: Qwynn & River Momoa (#61 & 62, can't determine life state yet)

NOTES
*Yae's new boyfriend: Did you recognize him?
  He's a slightly remodeled, clean library clone of Taye, Gen5 spouse of my Big Dreams Dynasty (BDD).
  In my BDD, Taye was a vampire. Here, he's become a spellcaster.
  He's even better-looking than his first incarnation, if that's possible.

*Adults and Elders: Yae's simverse spawns way more adults/elders than YAs.
  I wonder if that's because I've disabled Auto-Aging for her YA offspring.
  Yae only needs roughly 20 more baby daddies, so we'll just roll with this.
  If I were to enable Aging for her offspring, one of them would be dying every 3-4 days. No thanks!

[Granny Lawlor]

I was wondering when Taye would make an appearance.  And a spellcaster! He should give Yae a lovely next helper.
Do I detect a weariness in Saturo, or is he just looking forward to his freedom?
Yae is doing a great job, as is the Wishing Well. What's the best mood for making a wish, after a big donation?

[oshizu]

Lol, I'm in sim-love with the new and improved Taye, if you hadn't already guessed.
I feel a bit sheepish about having added both Taye and his son Yuki to Yae's simverse, so I might "release" Yuki into the general population, haha.

Satoru is Baby #23/24 and Yae's last baby, River Momoa, is Baby #61/62 so we can say that Satoru has helped raise over half of Yae's offspring.
Poor fella needs a rest! Although none of the offspring are permitted to marry or breed.  I don't want our simverse flooded with Yae's grandkids instead of baby donors.

For the Well, I only make sure that the kids are Very Happy and their needs are all topped off.
I have a kid give offerings until the Well gives a "white response" with the Happy face, before the kid makes their Wish for Better Grades.
Not every child uses the Well, only vampires trying to move out before the weekend or a child trying to move out to make space for Yae to try for baby.

[oshizu]

11: Another Baby, Yuki? What the Hekekia?


Week 11, Sunday (3rd week of autumn)
Yae: Remind me how much longer you'll be around as my helper.
Satoru: Slightly under two-and-a-half weeks, I believe.  Does that work for you?


Yae: Yes, I believe the timing's just right.
You know how our Watcher's been obsessing over that Korean rapper/dancer for the past four years?
Satoru: You mean that pretty boy, Taeyong Lee?


Yae: Yes, that's him. Watcher's recently created a new lookalike sim named Taye Lee.
I'm hoping to have a son with Taye so I can make that son my next helper.
Satoru: But what if the boy isn't a spellcaster?
Yae: I'll count him as a normie for my score, but turn him into a spellcaster as a teen. What do you think?
Satoru: Hmmm, that seems fair.



Tuesday
When the Momoa twins age up this morning, we learn their life states at last.
River is my very first merboy, while his sister Qwynn is human.


How shocking to get yet another phone call from Yuki Hekekia this morning.
Naturally, I encourage her to try for baby again.
Her husband, Ukupanipo, still lives and our world could use more merpeeps!
Thank you, Yuki, for not adopting!


River is such a cutie-pie as a toddler!
My only regret is that he didn't inherit his father Neptune's red hair!


Odessa and Peyton age up to teens, looking so much like their father.



Wednesday
Meet my twins with Liam Flex: Sean and Tyrone!
Drats, I got distracted last night and forgot to have the Elias twins visit the well.
Now I can't try for baby with Taye until they move out after school today.


Yae: So, we can't try for baby until the Elias twins move out this afternoon.
Would you mind, um, practicing until then?
Taye: I don't know, Yae.  You might have to twist my arm.


Our practice session is interrupted by yet ANOTHER phone call from Yuki Hekekia.
But more merpeeps in our simverse is a good thing, so I encourage her to try for baby.
Um, for the second day in a row.
And didn't they just have a child last week?


After school, Odessa and Peyton age up to young adults with the worst traits!
But let's keep our perspective, shall we?
What's important is that they're both spellcasters and about to move out!


Yae: Now that we can try for baby, wanna get low down and dirty?
Taye: Um, okay?


Taye: Not exactly what I'd expected, but okay.
Ouch, could you get up, Yae? There's a twig sticking me in the back!


Satoru (runs over): Mama, what's going on? Did he hurt you?
Taye: I do believe that I'm the injured party here!
Yae: Would you mind picking up all this trash, son?
Satoru (to himself): How come Mom gets to have all the fun?



Thursday
Qwynn and River Momoa age up into handsome teenagers.


River: I'm off for a quick swim before buckling down to my schoolwork.


After the teens finish their schoolwork, we're off to Ohan'ali Beach for some beachcombing.
I'm hoping to find an "Ordinary" Conch Shell to help me identify merpeeps.
Of course, Satoru succeeds in finding one. Yay!



Friday
My twins with Liam Flex age up this morning.
That's human Tyrone (left) and future-vampire Sean with the pointy ears (right).
Do toddlers get any cuter than these two?
I seriously doubt it!


When Qwynn and River return from school, Sean and Tyrone Flex are ready to age up.
After that, Qwynn and River also age up and prepare to move out.
Qwynn moves in with the Fen brothers who live in Sulani.
Meanwhile, River moves in with my only other merkid, Fiona Hekekia.


That evening, I invite over Fetu Kahuna. 
I know what you're thinking. You think Fetu's related to Duane Talla, right?
But don't let Fetu's hair mislead you.


Actually, Fetu's the son of Bella Goth from one of Watcher's scenario games.
It's not easy to tell from this angle, but he resembles Bella a lot.
When you see Fetu from the front, you'll think: "Oh, he has Bella's eyes!"



Saturday
Arrrrgh, I give birth to triplets this afternoon!
As you can see, Ulani and Volt are spellcasters; Wish is human.
However, I'm going to make whoever resembles Taye most closely my next helper.
We'll just have to wait and see!


As you might imagine, I'm thoroughly exhausted after popping out triplets.
But the show must go on, so I phone Fetu and invite him over.
Here's a good shot of him.  Such a handsome fellow!


Alas, I'm too exhausted to walk over to the hot tub or showers.
I drag a tent over to our front yard.  It will have to do.

Tomorrow, I shall devote the entire day to pampering myself and resting!
Watcher: Me, too! I could use a day off from this challenge myself!




Progress: End of Week 11
*Total Score: 61/100 children moved out (includes occult bonus +18)
*Moved out this week (plus 7):
  - Wed: Odessa & Peyton Elias (#57/58 & 59/60
  - Fri: Qwynn & River Momoa (#61 & 62/63)

*Current Household:
  Matriarch: Yae is 16 days to Adult and pregnant by Fetu Kahuna
  YA: Satoru Takahashi (#22/23) [helper]
  Children: Sean & Tyrone Flex (#64/65 & 66)
  Nooboos: Ulani, Volt, and Wish Lee (#67/68, 69/70 & 71)

[Granny Lawlor]

Triplets! Are they all boys? I can't tell from the names but I'm guessing that they are. Congrats to Taye and Yae.
Taye is a really close lookalike. I've not really tried to work with CAS in that way. Maybe that could be a different sort of challenge - but how to judge...? Oops, that thought might belong on a different board.

[oshizu]

You can always tell a nooboo's assigned gender at birth by their onesie color.  Yellow for girls and green for boys.
The Lee triplets consist of one girl caster (Ulani), one boy caster (Volt), and one boy human (Wish).

When building a sim's house based on a photo of a real house or creating a lookalike sim based on a RL person, we are free to judge our success by our own standards, no?
I like working from photos and house plans; they inspire to experiment with Build Mode and CAS features that I normally wouldn't think to use.
Katsuya, the founder of my casual HoB playthrough, didn't look much like his model. But looked uniquely different from my other CAS creations, so Katsuya was a win in my books.

[oshizu]

12: My New Helper


Week 12, Sunday (4th week of autumn)
While mindful of the Well's 8-hour cooldowns, we visit various places today.
We end up in our neighborhood at Tartosa Beach, where I spot Neptune's son, Ignacio.

That poor Neptune.  Last week, his wife left with their 4 kids to marry someone else.
His ex Morgan Fyres was elderly, so Watcher moved the kids back with Momoa.
Still I wonder why Ignacio's here by himself?


Within an hour, Ignacio ages up to a ginger-haired child before our very eyes!
I try blowing my Ordinary Conch Shell to reveal whether or not Ignacio is a merman.
Then I remember: occult sims only come into their powers on their teen birthday. Duh.
Ignacio, I'll be keeping my eye on you! (We should visit this beach more often.)


Sean and Tyrone haven't attended school yet but have visited the Well as much as possible.
By late afternoon, Tyrone's aged up to a teen with a "B" grade.
And future-vamp Sean awaits sundown to age up to a teen as well.


As you may recall, Liam Flex is the son of Marcus Flex and Brittany Cho.
Blonde Tyrone looks the most like his handsome father.
But Sean also ages up into an attractive vampire!


Seiji Miyazaki: I'm flattered that you like my looks, Yae.
But I'm married with two kids. You can't expect me to leave my family and move here!
Yae: Not at all, Seiji.  I'd just like to "borrow" you for several hours next Tuesday.
(to herself): Sheesh, and Watcher thinks she's tired of this 100 Baby Challenge!



Monday
90 minutes before school starts, Satoru switches the weather to Cloudy Skies.
I also urge Sean to take an umbrella, just in case.
One can never be too careful where vampire teens are concerned.


Neptune: Thanks for inviting me over! You wanna hook up again, right?
Yae: No. Watcher wants me to talk some sense into you.
We just learned this morning that you remarried and your new wife is pregnant.
Neptune: Yep, pretty cool, eh?
Yae: No! You have four children already! And don't get me started about your wife!

Neptune: What's wrong with my wife Bria?  She's a Day 4 young adult.
Yae: We checked: her biological parents are Knox Greenburg and Max Villareal!
Are you trying to break our Watcher's heart?


After school, both Sean and Tyrone become young adults, but only Sean moves out.
I'm keeping Tyrone home until tonight to help with the triplets.

Ulani isn't a helper candidate.  Do you remember Akemi, my first helper?
She and my baby daddies were a little too interested in each other for my comfort.
Currently, Wish is ahead in the Cuteness Contest.



Tuesday
Yae: Ulani and Volt become Happy Toddlers and age up, then Tyrone moves out.
My youngest son, Wish, doesn't age up until six hours later.

Ulani (right): Why's Mama still wearing her costume from this morning's holiday?
Volt (left): Watcher's mad because Mama held Wish for 2 hours without letting him blow out his candles.


Satoru: Are you excited about being the next helper, Wish?
Wish: How do you know I'll be the next helper?
Satoru: It's obvious. Unlike your siblings, you're a Top-Notch Toddler.
Plus, you're the only one who's joined Scouts.


Yae: After giving birth to Xiao and Yuuji Kahuna, I invite Seiji over to try for baby.
While trying to ask to be just friends, I see a lot of socials related to his wedding.
I resist the temptation to ask to be his Sim of Honor or even to be invited.
I'll be probably too busy here at home and I'm sure his bride would rather I don't attend.



Wednesday
Yae: Adrien, how nice of you to drop by!
Adrien: Of course, but why was I languishing in Watcher's library for so long?
Yae: Oh, you know. We wanted you to finish your Big Dream Dynasty speed run first.
Adrien: Well, I'm all rested up from that and ready for something new!



Thursday
Satoru: Born here 7 weeks ago, I've lived in this house longer than anyone else except Mama.
Since then, I've helped her raise so many children, close to 50, I bet!
It will be nice to move out after teaching the Kahuna twins their toddler skills.


Yae: The Lee triplets celebrate their teen birthday this afternoon.
Thanks to Satoru's Rite of Ascension, Wish is now a spellcaster.

Wish looks the most like his father of the two boys.
Where did Volt get those eyes?  Do my eyes look like that?


Next, my twins with Fetu Kahuna age up to toddlers.
Xiao (left) is human, but her brother Yuuji is a merboy.  Yay!


Wish works on his last scouting badge: Keep Fit.



Friday
By 6 am, the Kahuna toddlers age up and Satoru can finally move out.
He'll live with his siblings at the spacious Affluista Mansion in Oasis Springs.

Thanks so much, Satoru.  You were a fantastic helper!


I can't believe my good fortune!  The Miyazaki twins are both spellcasters!


I leave Wish in charge of the nooboos. He is a natural!
Look at him! He's already maxed Parenting and gone into Full Parental mode!


Later that evening, I accompany Wish on his first visit to the Magical Realm.
While he's socializing with and learning from the sages, I visit Casters Alley.
I buy Wish a Wand of the Sylvan Forest and a few magic tomes.
Nothing's too good for my Wish, right?


Back at the Magical HQ, I introduce myself to potential spellcaster baby daddies.
From now on, I'd really like to skip the Dark Ley Line and vampoos.
Spellcaster offspring are so much easier to raise!
This is Daiki Hara. He has awful traits but he's a YA spellcaster.  And he's cute!



Saturday
Ukupanipo's twin boys with his first wife recently became young adults.
I invite one of them, Dakota, over but he heads to the beach instead.
Looks like he's a merman!


I get Dakota to the house so I can try out my Ordinary Conch Shell.
He reacts by emitting high-pitched squeals and flapping his hands like fins.

I'll need to check how many of our world's merpeeps had merkids.
Maybe I'll focus exclusively on spellcasters and mermen for the rest of this challenge?


I've put together an overview of my progress over the past three seasons. 12 weeks!
Values in parentheses represent the birth or move out of occult offspring.
For example, I had 19 kids in summer but 14 of them were occults, boosting my total to 33.

As you can see, I only began working the occult angle from summer.
It's made a huge difference!
I don't want to jinx myself, but I have high hopes of having my 100th baby in Year 1.




Progress: End of Week 12
*Total Score: 70/100 kids moved out (includes occult bonus +22)
*Moved out this week (plus 9):
  - Mon: Sean & Tyrone Flex (#64/65 & 66)
  - Fri: Satoru Takahashi (#22/23) [former helper]
  - Fri: Ulani & Volt Lee (#67/68 & 69/70)

*Current Household:
  Matriarch: Yae is 16 days to Adult and pregnant by Adrien Landgrim
  YA: Wish Lee (#71) [new helper]
  Children: Xiao & Yuuji Kahuna (#72 & 73/74)
  Nooboo: Zia & Atsushi Miyazaki (#75/76 & 77/78)


NOTES
*Neptune Momoa's household: I was shocked to notice Momoa living alone.
  Yae's family discussion with both him and his ex-wife (Morgan Fyres) led to 2 kids.
  The other two kids came from MCCC and/or the NSS Have Babies feature.
  Only MCCC could have caused his wife to move out and marry a different sim.
  Neptune was just super unlucky.

*Neptune remarried?:
  MCCC chooses which of my NPCs will move, get pregnant, break up, and/or marry.
  But NSS encourages NPCs in romantic relationships to breed like rabbits.
  I find Neptune's 2nd marriage to the Knox/Max daughter a genetic tragedy.

*A new goal: After 12 weeks, Yae is still only 16 days to Adult.
  I'm going to try and have Yae complete her 100 Baby Challenge as a young adult.
  It might be possible, if we're very careful about timing move-outs and pregnancies.

[Granny Lawlor]

Well done Satoru - wishing you a happy retirement. Wish looks like a worthy successor.

The MCCC mod must be essential in order to have enough available baby daddies in this short a time. Previous to NSS, no NPC babies was frustrating but it's gone too far the other way imho. Having babies until your household is full is a bit unusual irl.

[oshizu]

MCCC is NOT essential to having enough baby daddies to complete this challenge quickly but it does offer other conveniences (like disabling emotional deaths).
There are various ways to get potential baby daddies (well, sims in general, for that matter) to spawn, though they may not move into houses or marry.
Yae needs no help from MCCC to find baby daddies; at this moment, she has a "back log" of baby daddies to hook up with.

All but one baby daddy has given at least twins and the speed of my challenge progress is due mainly to the occult incentive.
If I choose so, I could complete this challenge with only game-generated townies, without my four Library sims.

The baby inundation in my save is due to enabling NSS Have Babies and Yae asking casters and merpeeps to expand their families, lol.
MCCC usually allows me to limit the maximum amount of children per household, but NSS seems to be over-riding that setting.

Perhaps the best way to repopulate is, as MarianT suggests, to only reoly on the "Discuss expanding the family" feature.
In 13 sim-weeks, Yae has been able to successfully influence 16 sims.

Oh well, only 3-1/2 more sim-weeks of this madness. I've learned a lot!

[oshizu]

13: Do These Genes Make My Butt Look Big?


Week 13, Sunday (1st week of winter)
Wish: It takes me until after midnight to win my third magical duel.
Adrien: Dude, that's cold! Isn't that your older brother on the ground?

Wish: Yep. I defeated my father, Taye, and an elderly caster, too. You wanna piece of this?
Adrien: Um, no thanks. I'm just here for the BBQ.


Wish: Drats, the Curse of Repulsiveness!
I'm so grateful to Satoru for leaving me a half dozen Potions of Curse Cleansing.
I should reach the Adept rank by evening.
No, I won't. I should reach it after the Miyazaki twins become Happy Toddlers. *sigh


Zia Miyasahi's been hitting up the Well as much as she can since Friday.
She's a grade school "B" student now and that's fine.
Her brother Yuuji is now a teen and will be moving out on Monday.
Which leaves a space for Mama's next baby daddy to get his proverbial "foot" in the door.


Wish: Thar he blows!
Yae: I need you at home right this minute, Wish!
Wish: Oops, we can't be standing around admiring Yuuji's mermanly beauty.
The Miyazaki nooboos, Zia and Atsushi, need to be aged up and trained!


Can you tell how nervous I am?
This is my first time raising toddlers.



Monday
Xiao got a second grade boost last night, so both twins attend high school then move out today.

Xiao is lovely! She looks a lot like her grandmother, Bella Goth.
(*whispers: Sadly for Yuuji, he resembles my mother rather than his father.)


As soon as Dakota Hekekia arrives at our place, he changes into his swimming trunks.
Mama knows he's heading to the beach for a swim so she lures him into our home.
Now he's locked indoors until Mama returns from the hospital.
Otherwise, he'll run off to the beach at the drop of a hat!  For real!


Meet the Landgrim twins: Becca and Corey.
Mama is sad that neither twin inherited their father's lovely blue skin tone.
Corey, however, will be a spellcaster like his Da.

Speaking of magic, I reach the Master rank tonight!


Once Mama confirms she's pregnant, she and I head to the Magical HQ.
And this scene is NOT how it looks!

I find the Sage of Mischief Magic chatting in the restroom, so I join their conversation.
Then, I queue up requests for a potion recipe, a Mischief spell, and the Ultimate Mischief spell.

After teaching me a potion recipe, the sage suddenly drops her drawers and sits on the loo!
When she's done, she stands and proceeds to teach me the two spells I requested.
Well, yeah, she caught me by surprise so I just stood there.



Tuesday
Yae:  Yo Cedric, how you doin'? It's been ages!
Cedric: I know! How many weeks ago did I give you my number? Like, I was a young adult then!
Yae: You still got it goin' on, Cedric. Never fear.
Cedric: Soooo…
Yae: Thursday.  I'll be phoning you again Thursday afternoon.



Wednesday
Wish: I invite over Kenji Fujiwara, who's the Sage of Untamed Magic.
He's an adult, so I'm thinking Mama might like to meet him.

By the way, do these jeans make my butt look big?


Zia and Atsushi are back from grade school and ready to become teenagers.


Here they are again with their father, Seiji Miyazaki.
Now, off you go to do your homework, kiddos!


Not surprisingly, Becca and Corey are adorable toddlers.
I snap their pictures just as each of them is about the age up again.



Thursday
Wish: That Cedric Ridley's been bragging to everyone about being Mama's next baby daddy.
He's in for a big surprise. Mama's chosen Emmitt Xu instead.

It's easy to see why. Emmitt's got terrific genes.
Meanwhile, Cedric's concealing some major ugly beneath those shades he wears.


After school, Zia and Atsushi move in with their spellcaster siblings in Glimmerbrook.
Several hours later, Mama give birth to the Hekekia twins: Dakota Jr. and Erin.
Cross your fingers for a merbaby!


Emmitt: What are you doing? You're pregnant and you've already asked me to be just friends.
Yae: I know, I know.  But I find you so irresistible, Emmitt! Um, how about one for the road?
Emmitt:  Twist my arm, why don't you?



Friday
Yae: This morning, I finally become a full-fledged Neighborhood Confidante.
The hardest part, of course, was successfully influencing the lives of other sims.

I did learn NOT to discuss family expansion with a sim who's single or has a pregnant spouse.
In that case, the sim will adopt either a child or a pet.


As a teen, Corey's a handsome devil like his father but with a "normie" skin tone.
Becca's looks are mystifying. Neither Adrien nor I share Becca's round face.

One of you two needs to move out by Sunday evening.
Be sure to finish your homework, though, before hitting up the Well.


Wish: It's the first Spice Festival tonight for the Landgrim twins and me.
I've invited along Ramon, the teen son of Fetu Kahuna.
I'm not sure I like the way Ramon and Mama are exchanging glances.
Mama, please! Ramon's still in high school!


Mama must be a Spice Festival regular.
She's the only one here wearing that Spice Champion tee-shirt.
I need to practice eating spicy food at home for the next Spice Championship!


You probably think I'm just a pretty face.
But I play a very important role as Mama's official Baby Daddy Screener.

For example, I check whether or not a potential baby daddy is a spellcaster.
If I can request a magic duel after introducing myself, that sim's a spellcaster.


Also, I carry the Ordinary Conch Shell found by the previous helper, Satoru.
Look what happens when I blow it near Ramon. Yep, he's a merman all righty!

Also, since @Granny Lawlor was wondering, I've compiled a list of Mama's baby daddies.
The link's down below in the NOTES.


On the way home, we stop for a drink and I find yet another potential baby daddy.
Richard Collette is the son of Tomax Collette and Nina Caliente.
I also learn that he's a spellcaster. Go me!

Mama, you can be with only spellcasters and merman for the rest of this challenge.
You can even skip the pity date with Vlad.
Yae: But he constantly phones to ask me out on a date…



Saturday
Both Becca and Corey Landgrim move out this afternoon, thanks to the generous Well.

And look who just aged up!  Dakota Jr. and Erin Hekekia.
They're the children of Dakota and the grandchildren of Ukupanipo!
Dakota Jr. is a normie, but Erin is a mermaid-in-waiting!




Progress: End of Week 12
*Total Score: 80/100 kids moved out (includes occult bonus +26) W13
*Moved out this week (plus 10):
  - Mon: Yuuji Kahuna (#73/74)
  - Tue - Xiao Kahuna (#72)
    Thu: Zia & Atsushi Miyazaki (#75/76 & 77/78)
    Sat: Becca & Corey Landgrim (#79 & 80/81)

*Current Household:
  Matriarch: Yae is 16 days to Adult and pregnant by Emmitt Xu
  YA: Wish Lee (#71) [Helper]
   Children: Dakota Jr. & Erin Hekekia (#82 & 83/84)

NOTES
*Baby Daddies: Ever wondered who they are?
  I compiled a list of baby daddies in response to a comment by @Granny Lawlor.
  You can find the list here.
  As you can see, Yae initially focused on elderly sims as her baby daddies.
  This was to ensure the largest possible pool of baby daddies.

*Neighborhood Confidante's reward trait: is not that great.
  I would have preferred if it made my sim more likely to influence other sims.

[Granny Lawlor]

I'm hoping for just daughters for Emmitt Xu so you don't need to replicate his outfit - a blue jacket with tan plaid trousers! Oh my!
Wish is doing a great job - wow - 80 moved out! You're nearly there.
Thanks for the list of Baby Daddies and I really like the father/child photo combos. It really shows the gene mix which is fascinating.
