TS3- 100 Baby Challenge 2.4: And I'm Gone Again

100 Baby Challenge Chapter 2.4: And I'm Gone Again

Since Blake was born Isabel has had no luck getting pregnant.  One guy came over that night and when they were about to whoohoo said she had issues and left.  The next day the same thing happened with another guy.  The third guy she has high friendship with is always at work.  *sigh*  It's been so long I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Blake ages to toddler.

The triplets all have A's so they age up early.  Clay's new trait is mooch, Crystal's is a good sense of humor and Callie's is vegetarian.

After this my computer started having problems.  I've tried replacing the video card with no luck and so there will be no more updates until I get a new computer unfortunately.  :(

TS3- 100 Baby Challenge 2.3: I'm Back!

Okay so it's been well over a year since I played this challenge.  First, my saves were corrupted and I had to go back to old saves from my backups.  Then, my mods weren't working and (I guess) I was too lazy to fix them.  It ended up being a very easy quick fix.  Anyway, then Sims 4 came out and I wanted nothing to do with Sims 3.  About 3 months after Sims 4 came out this PC stopped working and I switched to playing on my laptop which couldn't handle Sims 3.  Soooo now my laptop has stopped working and, once again, it was an easy fix for the PC I haven't used in over a year.  It only needed a new power supply!  So I've read the last few chapters of the Baby Challenge, which I completed in Sims 4 and plan to complete in Sims 3.  I'm really excited!  The first thing I noticed is that Isabel's first child Katie has an A in school but hasn't been aged up to teen. I lost like a week of play of this family when the game got corrupted, at that point I think Katie was close to moving out and the triplets were children.  So with my very basic updates I'm trying to reacquaint myself with a game and challenge that I haven't played in close to a year and a half!

Katie ages up to teen after she wakes up.  Her traits are disciplined, angler, clumsy and socially awkward.  Yay for her, lol.  Now she can help with the triplets especially since apparently they don't go to school if they age up on that day, weird.

 The day starts with potty-training the triplets.  I learned from a youtube let's play that if you set up the potty train over and over they learn all in one shot.

Here's Clay in the walker while his sisters get potty trained.  By the end of the day he knows all he needs to age up!

Things go a bit slower with his sisters and it's the end of the next day by the time Callie learns to talk.  They'll age up in the morning but ugh I still haven't gotten Isabel pregnant again!  I'm so out of practice!

 Clay loves the cold, is perceptive and lucky.

Crystal is evil, hates the outdoors and is adventurous.

Callie is good, neurotic and a light sleeper.

Isabel invites Jeremey Lin (Katie's Dad) over.  You might remember I changed the rules for the challenge so that each father could be whoohoo'd with 5 times.  I did this because story progression makes it almost impossible to find a single guy.  I didn't bother asking Jeremey if he was single, lol.  So she's preggo and back on track.

 Cole and his twin Cora age up on their birthday with A's.  The weekend ruined an early age up for them.  Cole is neurotic, loves the outdoors and has a good sense of humor.

Cora is artistic, good and insane.

The whole family getting their fun up watching tv before school.  (Kids channel for Mom of course.)  When she stood up to lecture some of the kids I realized that the bus never came to pick them up!  Looking this up on the forums it seems this happens sometimes and you have to go to map view and select the school for each child.  I was about to do so when the game crashed.  *sigh*  I forgot how long it takes Sims 3 to load and save.

Just one. <pout>  His name is Blake and he's artistic and friendly.

Chapter 2.4: And I'm Gone Again

PC problems, Island challenge and some pics...

So about a week ago we had a bad lightning storm and when the electric came back on my pc decided not to boot up.  After messing with it forever I finally got on and reversed it to an earlier time.  Somehow it messed up all of my sims 3 files.  I had a backup of some of them but it was an old backup.  So I had been playing the 100 baby challenge but lost more than a week in sim time of what had been going on.  Also my mods weren't working and I haven't had the energy to try to figure out what is wrong with them.  Since Sims 4 comes out tomorrow and I am pre-loading it right now there's not much point of trying to catch up on that challenge.  I did start the Midnight Sun or Island challenge but then went out of town unexpectedly for the weekend so I've got pics from that challenge to show you but I don't know how much of it I'll play.  But hey Sims 4 tomorrow that's good news!  So here are some pics...

Ghost grandma Ariella comes to visit the triplets and snoozes in the rocking chair.

 The triplets playing.  It was hard to get one with them all together.

This is my Island challenge founder and darnit I forget her name.

People keep popping up, it's really annoying.

Here's the houseboat.  I've added a small basement bedroom since this pic was taken.

My founder and her soon to be hubby that washed up on the island.

 Didn't have money for a bed so he had to get a sleeping bag when he first moved in.  Notice the deer stuck by the mailbox?  I had to delete it, resetting all wouldn't work.

So he pops the question and they soon have a baby.  That's as far as I've gotten in this challenge.

TS3- 100 Baby Challenge 2.2: Twins and Triplets Oh My!

I am completely overwhelmed.  First Isabel has twins then she has triplets!  I saved and quit right after the triplets were born I was just like omg!  Katie is still a child and cannot help.  Luckily the twins had just aged up to children too so it's just the triplets to teach to walk, talk and potty train.  Eek!  On a sad note Ariella passed on right after putting a baby in the crib.

 Isabel ages to a young adult after the twins are born.  Isn't she beautiful?

TS3- 100 Baby Challenge 2.1: Isabel Has Her First Baby!

So the opportunity arose and I went with it.  Isabel got pregnant while still a teen and gave birth to a baby girl named Katie.  It was really easy.  He came home after school with her and I upped their friendship then the next day invited him over and boom we got a baby!  He aged up since then so she's on the prowl for another teenager to be baby daddy number two.  Ariella is enjoying her retirement and the kids are all having babies so she's getting wishes for more and more grandchildren, it's really cute.  I'm going to be sad when she passes on.  All of the kids but Isabel have all moved out.  The house is so empty!  Here are some pics for you...

 Only girls left in the house!

 Isabel turns into a teenager.

TS3- 100 Baby Challenge 1.8: Ariella Gets Old

Well there you have it guys.  Ariella's baby making days are over.  She has a wish to have 5 grandchildren and already has 3 from kids that have moved out.  Hopefully we can fulfill that wish before the reaper comes.  Isabel is doing horrible in school so I doubt we'll be aging her to teenager early.  Poor Ariella doesn't know what to do with herself and even had the wish to have a baby.  Sadly she cannot.  On a side note all of the darn elderly clothes suck.  It took me forever to pick something for her and I still don't like it.  If you look close the pants stop at the calves.  Looks goofy as hell.  So Ariella is spending her time upstairs sculpting away and Isabel is failing school.  We'll see what happens in my next post.

TS3- 100 Baby Challenge 1.7: The Heir is Born!

With 2 days left before aging to elder Ariella gave birth to baby Isabel.  Isabel is Ariella's 23rd child and will take over the challenge from her Mom.  I am nervous and excited about starting out new.  I have enabled teen pregnancy just in case I decide to go that route like I did in my Runaway Teen Challenge.  As you'll see in the pictures Isabel has black hair like her Dad but one thing I have no idea where she got is her eyes.  She has purple eyes!  They are so pretty.

On other news child number 5 Daisy has shacked up with the father of 14-18!  Yep that's right Daisy Marx is expecting a child from Robert Stanley!  Now how on earth do you figure the relationship of his kids?  Brother/uncle?  LMAO!  Another funny thing is that Ariella got the eternally faithful buff.  It says she has a pure reputation and has been faithful to Jacen Mann.  Now, Jacen married and had kids with someone else and Ariella was with 9 other guys.  Say what??  Hehehe

Ok so here are the pictures as promised.  One last note Aiden, Katie and Lissa have all moved out.

TS3- 100 baby challenge 1.6: 21 and Counting

So my man problems have been solved.  I don't know if it's a bug or what but I have found if I get to best friend status with a male sim they can try for baby and not end up romantic interests.  It must be a bug.  I just make them best friends and then click on the shower or bed and try for baby.  I still have been unable to have twins or triplets even using the genie wish for a big family.  I think there must be something in the settings that I missed but keep forgetting to check.  I know it's possible because of the let's plays I've watched on youtube.  So I'm waiting for baby number 22 and Ariella is 9 days away from aging to elder!  Eek!  I'm really worried that it's going to be super hard with a new sim to start all over finding guys.  I may have no choice but to drop some guys in the town and clear out some of the families.  On a side note some of the kids who have moved out are hooking up.  One son, Bryan turned out gay because he has a male partner.    Celestia is pregnant.  Oh my babies are growing up!  Sorry about the lack of pictures.  I will try to remember to take some before my next post.  Since my last post Willow, Mandie and Robert Stanley have moved out.  I currently have 7 kids in the house and one on the way.

TS3- Baby Challenge 1.5: Up to 17!

So I have to say I thought the hardest part of this challenge would be raising the kids.  It's not.  It's finding men to whoohoo with and contending with story progression.  I met a guy, had one kid with him, next thing you know he's married and having a kid with someone else!  Then I made a sim, dropped a house for him to live in and went to his house immediately to meet him.  He was already at work!  Story progession sucks!  I ended up cheating with this guy.  I used edit town and moved him in with me.  We are waiting for baby number 5 now and I'm trying to decide what to do with him and who to use next.  Also, I got fertility treatment for both of them and they are still having single children.  Ariella spends her whole pregnancy listening to children's music and watching kids channel on tv.  It's ridiculous!  Whew sorry about the rant but sheesh.

So I'm up to 17 with another on the way.  Since my last post Devin, Lena, Chloe, Ryan Isaac and Ivan have all moved out.  They are costing me a fortune buying them houses and the money mover takes away for them.  I figure I started this challenge off rich instead of poor like most simmers do and I will end up poor once it's done.  Also, story progression has filled up the whole town and whenever I drop a new house for the kids to live in someone is living in there before I can move them in!  I end up having to edit town and delete the darn sim.  I've thought of moving to a new town so that there will be houses again and taking out story progression but then I won't be in the same town as my kids.  I wish I knew a way to delete like half the population.  I'm sure there's a way other than edit town but I don't know how.

Here's a few pics to entertain you:

 Robert Stanley, the father of children 14-17 tutoring Mandie

 As you can see Mom now has red hair!  She had a midlife crisis and wanted to dye her hair.  She also wanted to remodel the house so I added a room to the second floor.  All in all she finished 8 midlife crisis wishes.  Whew.  The funny part is her next baby Aiden came out with red hair.

Robert, Katie, Aiden, Mandie and Willow watching tv.  Gotta up the fun after working hard at school every day to get that A!

TS3- Baby Challege 1.4: Who are You Again?

Ok so I'm up to 12 children and more on the way.  Since finding a man is so hard and I don't see that as the challenge... the challenge is getting these kids brought up right.  I used Jacen Mann for 5 times.  I was thinking 5 each then clean slate and start over.  At this point I can't keep track of who is who!  So since my last post we've had Devin, Lena, Chloe, Ryan, Isaac and Ivan.  Ethan, Jordyn Celestia, Bryan, Daisy and Dylan have all moved out.  Here are some pics to entertain you.

The house we were living in was causing extreme lag so I ended up building a house.  This is the biggest house I've ever built.  It is an open plan with a girls room, boys room, 4 bathrooms, a pool and a garage.

 Mom chatting with Celestia.  Check out that maternity outfit sheesh.  Boy was I glad to get Celestia out of the house.  She had the unstable trait and kept needing to be checked into the hospital.

Daisy and Dylan upping their logic so they can tutor the youngsters when they age up.

I thought I'd try to get a pic of all of the kids together.  This is Devin, Lena, Chloe and Ryan doing homework together.
