The Winters Family raised and moved out 13 young adults, with the first moving out on week 2 Tuesday at 4:45pm. They have 2 teens and 4 children still at home.

13(1,600)= 20,800
2(800) = 1,600
4(400) = 1,600
Total: 24,000 (Week 2, Tue 4:45pm)

Wow, great score @sone !

My family raised 12 young adults and has 4 children still at home:

12x1600= 19200
4x400= 1600
Total: 19200+1600 = 20800

Is the spreadsheet messed up for you? Can you calculate the minutes? I would prefer that for the leaderboard.

I tried but it doesn't work for me... I will try it again tomorrow.

All done. I was able to move out 8 Young Adults by the end. I also had 3 Children at home. The first YA moved out Week 2, Tuesday, 5:15 pm.

8 X 1600 = 12800

3 X 400 = 1200

12800 + 1200 = 140000

Well, I got to Thursday of week 3, before I started becoming really tired. So that'll be it for me. I only have an hour to go before it is ending time, anyway.

Home and Money Maker had 9 children all up, with three of them (Trouble, Candle Stick and Under T) becoming young adults and moving out. The first of them, Trouble moved out on Thursday of week 2 at 5:42pm (16422 minutes)

Of the six offspring still at home, 4 of them (Butcher, Baker, Deal and Record) were children, and 2 of them (Wine and Map) were babies.

So, that should be (3 x 1600 + 4 x 400 + 2 x 100) = 6,600 (16422 minutes)

Thanks for helping me in this challenge, Metro and Team, no fires for me this challenge ... though enough other things happened which more than made up for that :D

The Parent family (Mom and Dad) raised 16 children to adulthood, and had 4 children still at home.

They were unfortunately too busy taking care of screaming babies and fussy infants to record when their first child moved out, but they remember it being a momentous occasion, celebrated with a normal quality white cake (*tear* *tear*). For the sake of the challenge, if any other families matched their total, they'll cede the tiebreak.

Score
16*1600 = 25,600
4*400 = 1,600

25,600+1,600 = 27,200

I just feel like my game file got more and more bugged the longer i played this challenge.

In the end my couple succesfully had 18 children over the cause of the challenge, of which 14 moved out. I had way less multibirth than i wished for and at points the household even felt empty.

YA moved out: 14x1600 = 22400
Child aged at home: 4x400 = 1600

Total 22400+1600 = 24000

And the first little simmie quickly left us af Week 2 - Monday 3:31 PM which is 11971 minutes

Very fun. I always look forward to the Baby Boomer challenges. Frank and Lillian were able to successfully move out 7 Young Adults. They also had 1 Teen and 2 Children at home. The first YA moved out Week 2, Thursday,
 at 4:35pm (16355 minutes).

7 X 1600 = 11200
1 X 800 = 800
2 X 400 = 800

11200 + 800 + 800 = 12800

Mum and Dad had 13 children in total.

11 had reached young adulthood and moved out - 17600.
The first move was after 12000 minutes (I missed the exact time, so this is approximate. If a tiebreaker is needed and anyone is close to this time, I'll happily cede.)

2 children were still at home, at child age - 800

Total 17600 + 800 = 18400 points.

I was able to move out 6 Young Adults by the end. I also had 4 teens, a child, and a toddler. The first YA moved out Week 2, Thursday, 3:24 pm.

6 X 1600 = 9600

4 X 800 = 3200

1 X 400 = 400
 
1 X 300 = 300

9600 + 3200  + 400 + 300 = 13500

No more human time left. Went at this one with no plan so did not do very well. Made it to Friday of Week 2.

Frank & Lillian (@Eighty8Keys - looks like we were on the same wavelength  ;D) had a total of 8 kids: 5 YA's moved out, 1 Teen, 1 Toddler, and 1 Infant.

5 x 1600 = 8000
1 x 800 = 800
1 x 300 = 300
1 x 100 = 100

Total = 9200

Another Baby Boomer in the books. I was hoping for more participation, but I guess that's just the nature of the game these days. @Rebelangel took top honors and added another feather to her hat. Well done! Thanks for jumping in, everyone. You can now share strategy.
