Full House
Created 2019
Inspired By The 100 Baby Challenge
You may be one of those people that have a really difficult time keeping track of 2 sims at the same time. Or you may be like me and have 30 sims in your house at once, all needing attention, and still think it's boring and too easy. If that's you, try this challenge!
I originally tried to do the 100 Baby Challenge, but keep all kids in the house and play all of them until they die of old age. Unfortunately the game itself cannot handle that. Once I got to 30 sims in a house my game started glitching. At 40 it was real bad. I'm calling it 20 to start since you will be adding to the household. If you find that your game is lagging a bunch, cut it down to 15 sims and try that.
If your computer can't handle it, or if just 3 sims seems like an impossible challenge for you, then another option is to use the 8 sim household, not choose aspirations with a spouse, kid or pet, and play all 8 sims at once until old age death since this amount will still be challenging for you specifically. In this case you do not need MCCC.
GOAL: To play all sims in your household and complete their aspirations & careers fully before they die of old age.
RULES
-
You will need MCCC to allow more than 8 sims in your household.
-
You will have 20 Young Adult Sims in your house at the same time.
-
Set lifespan to NORMAL.
-
FULL autonomy must be on at all times.
-
Your starting family must be placed on a game made lot (like Creek Cabana) with the amount of simoleans the game provides you with.
-
Begin with 20 sims in your home at young adult age.
-
All Sims must be a controllable part of the household, not roommates.
-
You may also add roommates, nannies, butlers, pets, and lovers if you want to.
-
You are allowed to add more characters to the home even if they are not a part of the challenge. For example, your Bodybuilder is mainly focused on becoming a bodybuilder, they do not have the Soulmate aspiration. But that doesn't mean they can't fall in love! If you want to move a spouse (or pet, or have kids) into the house for this sim you can. Keep in mind though the more sims on full autonomy you have on a lot, the more strain it puts on the game and your computer.
-
They must all live in the same house and stay there until they die! And by "house", I mean building. You can't have 20 little, unattached houses on a 64x64 lot. It has to be one big mansion with everyone inside. Some mansions have more than 1 kitchen though...just a thought.
-
If anyone dies unintentionally then they're dead, you do not need to revive them, the challenge is still going with one less sim.
-
You may not intentionally kill any of your main 20 or their pets, kids, or spouses. Pets and spouses must die of old age, (or die unintentionally).
-
Once they start dying, it's up to you what to do with them. I make a graveyard in the backyard.
-
If you find you have too many in the house, then you can divorce your spouse and let him/her keep the kids/pets. After a proper gameplay divorce, you can use MCCC to move them onto another lot. Don't make a habit of this though.
-
-
Kids may age up according to their calendar birth date, and be moved out at young adult.
-
Make their traits match their aspiration.
-
I like to plan ahead on this one so that my sims' traits match up with their aspirations and I don't have to go back into cas to change them.
-
-
Traits you may reuse.
-
Pick out your aspirations and give everyone a job.
-
Some aspirations have a career requirement, chose that for your job.
-
For the others choose a career that matches up with the aspiration.
-
Basically imagine that I asked you why you chose to give your sim those traits/job. For Example: Serial Romantic Aspiration- I gave him the Mixologist career because he is a bartender who works in a club where he meets lots of women. He does bartending tricks to show off. I gave him the Creative trait because as a guy picking up several women, he needs to be creative and think of new ways to pick up girls since the same line won't work on every girl. He is Romantic obviously. Lastly, because he is a SERIAL romantic, he is non-committal, preferring to play the field instead of settling down.
-
-
You may choose any 20 aspirations/jobs you want (with some exceptions) but each can only be chosen once. No multiple family members working on the same aspiration!
-
If you want to use a location aspiration, you can only choose one and the whole family must live in that place.
-
You cannot have one sim living in the City, and another living in Sulani. They must all live in the same house! If you really, really want to do the "City Native" aspiration, then the entire family must live in San Myshuno.
-
-
Any sim with the Academic aspiration cannot live on campus, they must remain in the home.
-
Every sim in the house must complete their aspiration and career goals before they die of old age.
-
Once a sim completes their aspiration and career goals, you may give them new ones, or just let them exist in the house autonomously while you basically ignore them. Remember, you cannot intentionally kill sims and ignoring them while they starve to death counts as intentional. So no, you don't have to give them a ton of attention and make sure they are working on their skills, etc. but you do at least need to make sure their basic needs are being met.
Remember with this many sims in a house, if you use cas the regular way it will delete some of your family. You must go into the MCCC menu and access cas from there. Also, if you try to split homes the regular way it will not let you. Again you must use the MCCC menu to move sims in or out of your house.
What I do is start the game with 8 and dress them up in cas. I also download a bunch of cas ready sims from the gallery and then add them to the world as NPC's, then find them and use MCCC to add them to my household. If you make premade sims it's easier (I think) then having to use mccc to go back into cas to fix up one sim at a time over and over again. Think ahead though, do you want everyone in the family to have a Christmas outfit? Will anyone get married and need a wedding dress? Make it now.
Have fun! :-D
