The Mother of All Baby Boomers (an Infantile Challenge)

[Metropolis Man]

For this particular challenge, is the new expansion banned content per the rule:

'Any new Expansion or Game Pack content (less than 30 days before a Tournament challenge goes live) must be disabled before starting your scoring file. If there have been at least 30 days after an Expansion or Game Pack, then you are free to use it (unless a specific ruleset says otherwise).'

Or is it good to go? Its right on the cusp of being 30 days.

Growing Together was released on March 16, so it's good for use in the challenge.

The rules state that "Only one Science Baby and one adoption are allowed per household."

Presumably this refers only to our additions when playing that household? So if someone in that household adopts before we play them can we also adopt?

Yes. "per household" means, only the time that you play that household, so for every household you play you are starting with 0 adoptions.

Checking - we do have to turn off neighborhood stories, so they shouldn't adopt on their own, right?

No. As per the new general rule, Neighborhood Stories System needs to be checked. As explained to Vesper if you move to a household where adoptions took place previously it has no impact on your adopting. You're starting from scratch.

"No early aging-up of any Sims."

Does this mean we have to wait for a natural age up or are we permitted to age someone up when we get the "It's Sim's birthday." notification?

Anything other than natural aging up is still early, IMO. Even if you do it on their birthday. So, please, for this event, just let the game age them up.

cool, thanks

Just a quick clarification that happened due to a PM to the team from a player that had their science baby choice result in twins. That's fine if that happens. What must be clear is that you can only choose to have a science baby once per household...

• Only one Science Baby choice and one adoption are allowed per household. If a Science baby choice results in twins, etc., you may count all in your score.

I won't be home next weekend so had to complete this one early. 85 delightful infants and 30 different infant milestones; 85 x 1.3 = 110.5

Am exhausted, but not as exhausted as the parents. Shout out to the world's only working nanny Tsuyoshi Tanaka.

Playing with neighbourhood stories on was wild.

Big Mother's Day wishes to all you moms out there!

Hi, Elinoee. I totaled your score. Thank you for participating.

93 X (1.00 + (32 X .01)) = 122

I spent two days on this one but have reached the end, finally.

67 infants
37 unique milestones

67 x 1.37 = 92

Yeah this isn't a short one.
