Baby Boomer II: 50 Days of Extreme Parenting

[Metropolis Man]

Margerita and mespunky, you're in. Good luck!

One additional housekeeping thought I had to keep everyone organized is to use some initials on your sheet to denote what LTW each of your Sims has. For example, in my Tony row I have "Ast" in the LTW box. Jeannie's row has "SBF" in her LTW box. All LTW have to be different to receive the 4 points, so you can quickly look at your sheet and see what LTW are already taken.

Hey MetroMan, when you say no birthday cakes, can you use that on the same day of their b-day like Pam did on BB1?

No. No birthday cakes at all.

I already know what careers I will be taking to allow both parents to work and be at home while the other one is at work.

I'm in, will hopefully be submitting my Career challenge score soon but I'm banished to the living room this weekend, the Dragon Age expansion came out today and I don't want to hear any spoilers while my boyfriend plays it through so I can only play when there's sport on TV

[Chelkey]

I would like to give this contest a fair try.

Thanks,

Lisa

Here's the happy couple, Tony and Jeannie Nelson. They don't look anything like the TV characters and I'm well aware of that. Aside from being a decent cook and learning the drums, I never considered myself very artistic, so recreating people is tough for me. So, they're ready to go. Unfortunately, they just need to stand in their front yard for 6 more days.

Metro i think with that lady you are going to have very beautifull kids.

Agreed. If memory serves me I went with a theme for all the kid's names in BB I. There really aren't any famous Genies in history aside from Jeannie in I dream of Jeannie, but I may keep the "mystical/magical" theme and go with witches — Elvira, Glinda, etc. We'll see.

Aladdin perhaps? lol

I'm in!

Right now I'm playing my own personal challenge of how many kids one single male can have.  So far he's had 23 kids and he's not even an elder yet.  Once I'm done with that I'll jump into this BB2 challenge, should be fun!  I LOVE nooboos!

More simlish:  Chumcha means pizza.  Has since The Sims 1.    I'm sure there's more out there but that's all the simlish I know!

[NancyJ]

oh god, thats something I hadn't thought of - we have to give them all names! At least this one is normal life span - I don't think I could cope if it was on long - too many nappies!

[AriaGirl77]

Update: My dude has now had 36 kids, he just turned elder so still lots more time.  I should have named him Pollination Technician #9.

If you don't mind, let's keep non-challenge character updates to other threads. Thanks.

I haven't even started the Grand Slam Challenge, but I'm in for this one too!

[samoht04]

Here is my Couple, the Brea's!





Some Questions!

 - Can we choose the 'nooboos' traits or is it randomize?

 - Can the same LTW be done more than once?

[Pam]

- Can the same LTW be done more than once?

This is specifically addressed in the rules.

[samoht04]

oh, I didn't read that far down! So I suppose eventually some people will have to give their Teens Career LTW which will throw a cog in the works! 

[Metropolis Man]

oh, I didn't read that far down!

Yeah, the LTW restriction where it's noted that all of them need to be different isn't a bulleted rule. It's covered in scoring. And your other question on choosing traits for the kids — yes, you can do that. For the most part, the bulleted rules are what you can't do.

[LenaLJ]

I don't think I ever had a child or teen on the honor roll. Maybe because it's called something other in Danish (I have to check that). But could someone explain me what it is? I mean, it's something about a moodlet.

As for the challenge, should the child/teen just gain honor roll on time in that lifestage or has it to stay until they have their birthday?
And teen's 1 skill point in any skill, will that say it could be either 1 in athletic or 1 in guitar or one of the others?? I can choose by myself which I want, right?

[samoht04]

The Honor Roll is something you get from having straight A's for days in a row, they get wishes to stay on it for three days and parents 'To see ______ get on Honor Roll' wishes. It also causes a moodlet.

Here's the honor roll moodlet:

I'm glad you brought this up because I reread the rules and it's different for the Child and the Teen. The Child's version of having their requirements WHEN they age up is a little harder than the Teen's requirements of having their requirements BEFORE they age up. It's a little confusing and they should be the same. I want consistency, so I'll clear things up.

And teens 1 skill point in any skill will that say it could be either 1 in athelectic or 1 in guitar or one of the others?? I can choose by myself which i want right?

Your choice...any skill.
