Woot!  Good luck!  Maybe you'll learn to love toddlers by the time it's done.  They're just so cute!  I always take them to a mirror to change hair if they're born bald or with that buzzed off hair.  I like my little girls to have cute hair.

[TheLostGirls]

I cant stop shaking.
2 toddlers 4 babies.
There is no sleep unless you count passing out onto the floor.
Why! Why did I do this challenge!
Oh and the dad is having an affair automosly!
Because of him Fantima Simovitch (his boss!) now has twins!
Why!!!!
Must go to happy place.
Please tell me that it was this hard for you.

[Metropolis Man]

Please tell me that it was this hard for you.

Are you kidding me? Ask Pam how petrified I was of entering this challenge last year. She literally had to do the "Well I'm participating in YOUR challenges" guilt trip routine!  It worked. And I'm glad I did it.

But, it's supposed to be chaos. It's supposed to be hard. You just need to get into a routine. Once some of the kids go to school it becomes a million times more manageable.

[TheLostGirls]

Yeah, you 're right. I am simultaneosly working on two challenges and a legacy. Wow.

[TheLostGirls]

At Pam's urging I decide to post this question.

My male Sim on the baby boomer challenge was unfaithful. This was automosly, I had him got to Fatima Simovitch's (his boss) house to make friends and raise his relationship. He is a flirty Sim (I just like that trait). And he and Fatima decided that their marriges didn't matter anymore. I  was controling his wife at the time and didn't see what was happening. When I went back I found them woohooing. I made him go straight home. At the time I thought it was just for fun, but then 2 days later I got a notice that Fatima had twins and my sim was the father.

Do these babies count?

(I totally understand if they don't, just wondering)

P.S. All my sims seem to be having uncontrolled affairs. Uh-oh

My male Sim on the baby boomer challenge was unfaithful...Do these babies count?

No, they do not count for your score.

[Pam]

Yes, for the challenge, the children need to be from both of your parents and raised in your household until you kick them out at Young Adult.

I'm amazed at Hank's autonomous infidelity!  I've never seen that before.  I'm tempted to go play him just to see it.

Can you imagine the traffic the maternity floor at the hospital would see if Hank Goddard and Sekhmet Hawas lived in the same town?

I wish this forum had a 'like' button for moments like this!!

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold the phone. Did you just say that a sim you controlled autonomously woo-hooed? I thought that was impossible, based on the coding of the game. At least, I know that there is a mod that allows autonomous woo-hoo, but has that mod been rendered useless?

[TheLostGirls]

No mods and I am patched to 1.7. Sorry school kept me from the forum.

[Pam]

I've definitely never seen autonomous woohoo. 

LostGirls, did you control your Sim up to the point of woohoo?  I mean, did you do all the romantic interactions that work up to it and then the woohoo was autonomous?  Or did the Sim do all of it on his own?

[TheLostGirls]

I had him flirt with her once and compliment her once but I was distracted by something mother was doing and clicked on her portriat so I didn't see anything.

ITS A SNOW DAY FOR DFW 8 INCHES YESTERDAY!

[TheLostGirls]

I did it.

6 YA
2 Toddlers
3 Infant

So (1600 x 6)+(200 x 2)+(100 x 3)=
    (9600) + (400) + (300) = 10,300

I am shaking still, if I never see a crib again it will be to soon.

Now to start on Centeriun Solo.

Ack! My baby brother sleeps in a crib. Nooooo!

[Metropolis Man]

You did really well, LostGirls. Congrats. Raising pixelated kids isn't supposed to be a cakewalk, as you definitely found out. But compared to the real thing — sheesh!

[TheLostGirls]

I owe it all to The Parenting Guide.

Whoa hold the phone in Baby Boomer my Sims were not precreated ones. I am playing in Riverview.

Right.  Your thing with Hank was in a different game.  Your legacy, maybe?

[Metropolis Man]

LostGirls, please keep your soap opera drama out of challenge threads. If Pam and Carl and the other mods tolerate it in other sections, fine. I don't tolerate it here. It has no place in competitions. And I'd like to think you've got more class than force feeding us to view your train wreck sig. C'mon. You're better than that.
