A-Z Children Challenge

[jessblakbelt]

1) Create 2 Sims, one male and one female (married).
2) Move them into any size house, (the bigger, the better)
3)Your goal is to either have or adopt 26 children and name them by the 26 letters of the alphabet (A-Z) in sequence (Example: Aaron, Beth, Carl, Debbie, Eric, Frank, etc.) NO CHEATS, YOU CAN ONLY ADOPT OR HAVE CHILDREN BY WOOHOO. YOU CAN CHOOSE ANY NAME YOU WANT AS LONG AS IT IS IN SEQUENCE A-Z.
4) Obviously you can't have 26 children in one house at the same time, so you will need to move them out ASAP and start having more children.
5) Only one parent may work and the other must stay home to take care of the children, every time your working Sim gets a promotion, you may use the "kaching" and "maxmotives" cheats ONCE, but no other cheats except those.

Point System:

+10 for every child that grows up well
+10 for every promotion your Sim gets (Teen Sims may work also, if you choose)
+10 for every child named A-Z
+10 for every maximized skill
+10 for every A+ in school

-10 for any Sim taken away by social worker
-10 for demotion in job
-10 for any children that die
-10 for any F in school
-10 for any Child that doesn't grow up well


Rules:

*If both parents dies, you must start over, unless there is an adult child of theirs that can take care of the other A-Z children.
*If your parent Sims divorce, you must find another Sim to marry.
*You can post your pics and stories if you wish

GOOD LUCK! ;)

I'm working on this now!! So far I have A-C, B & C being twins.

The parents are named Carlo and Elvira. So excited to keep playing this family. I have the time for adulthood and young adult set on epic, but all the other aging is set up a bit longer than normal. Carlo is a sous-chef at the moment, hoping to get him to a celebrity chef level, and Elvira is a writer and a professional blogger in the journalism career. It works out perfectly because she works from 8 to 2 and he works from 3 to 9, so there is always someone there to take care of the children!

I'm busy with school right now, but hopefully I will get to play this family some more tonight. I will try to keep you updated and add some pics!

There is also a Foster Challenge, that requires you to foster in as many children/babies/toddlers as you can, keeping a full house. I like this one because it combines the two.

I once had a female who used men for their goods and had herself 50 children, all named in alphabetical order (starting over after 26, of course).

I just played this. I wasn't going based off of these rules though i was just trying to have 26 kids. right now the mom (Red) is pregnant with baby Z and I am so excited for this to be over. It's so hard. It did end up being pretty interesting though. Baby A was born from a hookup Red had way back in the beginning because she was desperate for a baby but couldn't find a good enough man. She eventually married Jim, a slacker who barely did anything and fathered B through G. They got a divorce after little Georgia was born.

Red went on to marry Blair who had a great high-paying job and was much more caring and involved with his kids. He fathered H through V. This included three sets of twins, Karev and Luther, Mink and Nell, and Reid and Sam. Having those two sets in a row was incredibly stressful. Blair died in a kitchen fire. Red went to the matchmaker and paid the maximum amount of money only to be set up with a blue-skinned alien. I didn't want the date to be a total waste so I let her have his baby anyways and now my poor Walt is half alien. Red finally found a boyfriend who gave her Xenith, Yvonne, and Z, although he never moved in of married her.

Both Blair and Jim were redheaded (Red is a blonde) and as a result a staggering eighteen of twenty-six kids have red hair. They all look the same and I am getting sick of red hair. Seven of the other eight are blonde, which is also starting to bore me.

Tips: Dont put a lot of space between kids. You're going to regret it later when a teen moves out and you can't get rid of the next one for 12 days because you took a break. It gets boring.

-Teach the kids how to study as early as possible. I taught every kid to study except Sam and whenever they did their homework he would get like 12% done and then quit, while everyone else finished in the same amount of time. He completely failed high school.

-Make the kids friends with each other so they can play redhands. and have teens befriend the babies so they can teach them toddler skills later. This is also helpful because if your kids can get social interaction from each other they will be able to send home those brats that come home from school with them (who like to harass my babies, eat my food, and stand in narrow hallways and block access to half the house. )

-Make several bathrooms and make them roomy. My house has two bathrooms but everyone always uses the small one. And they always manage to have birthdays on there which as you can imagine causes the biggest roadblock....
