100 Baby Challenge Chapter 6

    Well hello again, it's been too long since I last posted so this one might be a doosie.  Kami had Trixie and Ulrich at the end of the last chapter.  Kami was so excited for twins again, it had been 10 babies, 10 pregnancies since she had multiples.  The last set of multiples were the triplets.  Kami even purchased, removed, and purchased again the fertile trait.  It was one of those things where she felt like purchasing the fertile trait made her feel as though she messed with a good thing.  The first time she purchased the fertile trait was right after having the triplets.  First, let's take a look at the house, it's been built up and Kami added some cool stuff to the yard for the kids to play with.

    The pirate ship and monkey bars are so cool, the kids can work on their motor skills from home.  Kami also got the horseshoe pit and a fire pit so the family could spend some quality time outdoors.





    Kami also added a basement!! Pretty awesome patch we got.  This space has a bedroom, bathroom, bar area, living room with a TV.  This space is intended for the matriarch, give her a sanctuary away from the craziness of kids above.


     Sam was helping Kami out and spending some quality time with her new baby siblings.  Trixie and Ulrich were 20 and 21 so I don't think Trixie will be taking over as matriarch since Kami has about 9 days before eldership.  I think she can pump out a few more kiddos before she hangs up her uterus for good.


    The twins aged up and I'm not sure why I only took one screenshot but this is what I have.  Kami is now in her 3rd trimester with Mateo's baby, unfortunately I don't see those screenshots either.  The day after the twins aged up Kami had a baby boy!  His name is Vance.  Shortly after having Vance, Kami went out and nabbed Tom Hiddleston.  I'm slightly in love with Tom Hiddleston, he's totally gorge and plays an amazing Loki.  Kami sunk her claws deep into Tom, they actually became boyfriend and girlfriend.  The first boyfriend she's ever had!   I'm anxious to see if this will result in another girl and if Kami can be done or if we'll go for one more after.






    Well it looks like I'm failing all over the place on this chapter with pictures.  Kami didn't have any pictures taken for the next birth.  I guess her next event was more important.  Kami and Tom had twin boys!! That takes the total baby count to 24, and she's had 4 sets of twins and 1 set of triplets.  Since the babies were both boys Kami opted to try again.  But before she does, she buys the insta-lean potion.  The results are unreal, literally.  I don't know if I'll do it again with any of my other matriarchs, the change is so drastic.  Here's Kami pre-potion.
    Kami pre lean potion

    Umm whoa!!! Kami doesn't even look like the same person anymore.  Skin and bones I tell you! She didn't even look like this when she was a fresh faced young adult just starting her procreation journey.




     Making full use of the new toys at the house.  Playing with the boys and the horseshoe pit.

    Happy Birthday Russell!
     Russell aged up to young adult and moved out, the next day Sam aged up to young adult and moved out as well.  Our kids just seem to come, grow and leave in an instant.  It's never enough time. Kami loves it when they visit though.
    Happy Birthday Sam!

     After Russell and Sam moved out Kami sought after another donor.  Her last, hopefully.  Adam Svoboda, he moved in down the street with Johnny Depp.  Johnny shot Kami down so she went for his roomie.  Adam fell for her almost instantly and low and behold, Kami is pregnant, with hopefully her last baby.

    Happy Birthday Trixe and Ulrich!!
     The twins aged up after getting A's in elementary school.

    Trixie is one of the prettiest Sims.  It sick how gorgeous she is and it could be totally awesome if she might be the next matriarch.
     As Trixie patiently waits to see if Kami will have another girl or not she spent her time working on household skills so she was ready if she were called to fill Kami's shoes.  She still has to focus on school work too though.  Kami is pregnant with number 25 at this point and I think this may be her last baby.  She still has about 5 days at this point before elder and I think if let her hang up her ovaries a couple of days before retirement that would be a nice treat.  She will probably just spend her days painting and gardening.

    100 Baby Challenge Chapter 5

      Good evening simmers!  Gosh it's been a while since I've posted a blog.  So much has happened because I play nearly every day, I'm going to try and break it up into a few chapters so I don't over load your senses on what has happened.

      Last we left Kami and kids, Kami was pregnant again and expecting number 19 with Jakob Finch.  She also added the fertile trait again so we're hoping for twins.  Russell aged up to a child and he got the mean trait.  It was awesome having two mean sims in the same household. There was a lot of anger and aggression.
      The day after Russell aged up Kami went into labor!!

       I'm pretty sure she was on the treadmill again or gardening when she started her labor process. It was morning and the kids were at school so it was nice and calm in the house for Kami.




      Kami and Jakob welcomed a baby girl!! Kami named her Samantha.  At this stage Samantha is the 6th child during Kami's adulthood and the 4th girl.  Kami's still too young to stop having kiddos so Samantha probably won't be the matriarch.  With that said Kami set out to find her next man, and without much trying she found him.


      Meet Alexander Wooley, he's evil, clumsy and hot-headed.  Whew, that's a combo.  By the time the kids got home from school Kami was pregnant again.  This chick just doesn't waste any time.  Kami (well all female sims in general) doesn't age during pregnancy so the less time we waste getting pregnant the more babies she can have and thus get us further down the challenge. Wonder what this baby will be.  Any guesses?

      Happy Birthday Nathan!
      Well the kids got home from school and hooray! Nathan and Ophelia both achieved A's in high school and became young adults.  Qadira also achieved her A in elementary school and became a teen.  Birthdays are so exciting and sad at the same time, but we definitely have to make room for more sims.  Both kiddos moved out and on to bigger things in life.  I wish that were true but since TS4 doesn't continue storylines any more it's not like the sims go on working or achieving things on their own.  I usually just move them out and they stay out of the world.  It's sad really.

      Happy Birthday Qadira

      Happy Birthday Ophelia

      Teen Qadira









       I feel like all Kami ever does is have babies and paint.  She's making some pretty decent money though.  She's cranked out a few masterpieces and that has definitely done good things for the bank account.  Building and adding to the new house has definitely drained the account a lot.  Plus all the toilets and sinks we're replacing just seem to be endless.  Kami repairs what she can but when all 3 are on the fritz sometimes it's just better to let bygones be bygones and cough up the cash to replace them.

      Samantha aged up as well, she's a cute kid and I'm looking forward to seeing how she ages up.  She has her dads black hair and pretty much looks like all the other kids, except for Nathan, he just looks like his dad.  Samantha got the creative trait so I'm sure she'll be using that little drawing table Kami bought a while back.











      Penelope aged up to young adult, it's so nice when there's efficiency on grades and moving out.  Moving out sims means more room for more kids and the higher the chances at having multiple births.  At this moment there are three kids left in the house, Qadira, Russell and Samantha.  Fingers are crossed for Kami's pregnancy to be twins or even triplets.  Triplets would make it a full household.
       Well the next day Qadira was trying to level up her cooking during breakfast and damn near set the house on fire.  She did manage to ruin the stove and one of the counters.  How Kami has had two daughters try to burn the house down is beyond me but I guess I'm glad it hasn't been every teen that has attempted to ruin the house.  They only ones who have tried to set the house on fire though have been born in the new house, and cooking on the new stove which is super expensive.  These girls really need to cool it.
      So after a fire everyone is in a pretty horrible mood, the moodlet stays for 24 hours, which makes for pretty poor performance all around at school and at home.

      Instead of hanging around the house and sulking, Kami decided to be proactive this time and go out and scope the playing field for her next man.  She visited the museum and found Mateo Schuler.  Buff and just enough red-neck looking for her.  The one thing I can say is Kami doesn't really have a type.  If they'll flirt back with her, she'll sink her teeth in somehow.  It was quite a long day and the stress of the fire must have sparked her to go into labor.


       Night time deliveries are so fun.  Oh look, another yellow bassinet, must just be one baby again.  By now I've figured out that the color of the bassinet doesn't correlate to the gender of the baby so it really is a coin toss at this point.

       SHUT UP!! We got twins!!! One girl and one boy.  I'm way freaking excited right now.  Baby girl got the name Trixie and baby boy got the name Ulrich.  That U name was a difficult one to come up with.  I had to google baby names again.  I can't even explain how excited I am to see twins again, it's been 10 pregnancies since the last set of multiples and that was the triplets Gabbie, Hannah and Issabelle.


      Well as usual, Kami wastes zero time getting pregnant again.  She calls up Mateo and low and behold she's pregnant again.  This chick has got to be so tired of getting pregnant over and over again but she doesn't seem to mind it much except during pregnancy.  I've learned to watch her during pregnancies because she's always hungry and ALWAYS has to pee.

       Qadira became a young adult the next day and moved out.  Sad to see her go, she looks so much like Nick, it's crazy.  I knew she was his as a child.  She has the same green eyes and facial features he does.

      TS4 has done a great job in the genetics department.  They really made it so that children get some of the features from both parents and even mimic body types.  I was really surprised at how well this game was really done.  Sure there are things that could have been better and there are things that I wish had been there at launch but no base game comes out perfect and especially with all the added graphics it's just a very nice looking game.  I'm really looking forward to the expansion.

      So I leave you here, Kami has had 21 babies thus far and is working on 22 or maybe 23 and 24 as well :)  Who knows.  Well I do of course but you'll have to wait until next time for the rest of the juicy stuff.  At this moment in the game there's a patch about to be released but of course in real time it's here and the new expansion has released as well.  In the next chapter you'll hear all about the trouble the new patch gave me and what new things we added to the house.

      Until next time, happy simming.

      A Death in the Family...

        Hiya Simmers!  Today I decided to make another save game of the Turners but I wanted to play the triplets, Gabbie, Hannah, and Issabelle.  From what I can tell you can't take a family portrait in the Sims 4 which kind of sucks and I think that it would be cool to be able to have something like that for us bloggers but oh well.  I took some screen shots today of them and you can see what the girls look like all grown up.


         Here's Gabbie, the oldest of the triplets.  She's a painter and in the painter extraordinaire career track.
        Hannah is the middle twin.  She's the athlete of the bunch.  She's on the pro athlete career track right now and currently works as a mascot.
         Issabelle is the youngest triplet and has the insane trait and she's on track to be a comedian.  Our dear Issa might have a a lot to laugh and to cry about in her future but we hope that she can take comedy from her everyday life.
         The girls really love their house, they got a pool today and have definitely put it to some good use.  They've had lots of family visiting since they ventured out on their own, Kami even comes to visit every now and then.  Something happened today that I'd never personally witnessed as a simmer, mainly because I bounce around with the sims so much that I don't normally stick with a family so long.  Issabelle found and lost a love in a span of 24 hours.  It was quite devastating.

        The morning started off as any Wednesday normally would, she didn't have to work so Issabelle finished working on her guitar skill.  She went outside to meet a visitor and his name was Trenton Collazo, she was smitten with him right from the beginning.  They hit it off, and he was cute too, Trenton was a little older than Issa but that didn't matter to them, they were in love.  They spent the day talking and flirting. Issa asked Trent to be her boyfriend, he said yes!  She was so excited, then she thought she might take it one step further and ask him to stay the night, he said yes to that too.  Oh how could life get any sweeter?  She thought, he might just be the one she'd spend her forever with.  That evening after a romp between the sheets and a failed pregnancy test, because Issa like her mother just doesn't play around with starting a family, Trent aged up to an elder while Issa was asleep, AN ELDER!  He was much older than she had suspected, but that didn't matter to Issa, she loved Trent and wanted to be his forever, no matter how much time that meant she had.  After she woke up she prompted Trent for another romp between the sheets and he agreed.  She was definitely going to ask him to move in today, she didn't want to spend any more time away from him than necessary.  After Issa and Trent were done she realized he wasn't looking so good and she hoped he would lay down with her and get some rest.  Well after their little tryst in bed, he got up and dropped to the floor while she was napping.



        When Issa woke up, she found the Grim Reaper taking Trent while her sister Hannah watched.  Issa couldn't believe her eyes, her one, her only, the man she wanted to spend forever with was gone!



        Issa took another pregnancy test because they had tried for a baby again and there was a possibility she could have conceived.  Devastated by the failed test the night before and the loss of her first love Issa received some bitter sweet news, Issa was pregnant.  She didn't get to tell Trent that he would be a father, she won't get to raise their child together and their child won't know it's father.  Issa will press on, she'll continue to work and find joy in life.  At least she has her sisters to support and love her.  The three of them can take on anything the world throws at them right?

        100 Baby Challenge Chapter 4 *Edited*

          Well hello there and welcome back to my version of the 100 baby challenge on The Sims 4 platform.  Chapter 3 ended with nabbing another guy Nick Bee.  Kami has had lots of changes.  So let's jump in where we left off.  Kami and crew said goodbye to Lanna and Maribelle.  On that same day Kami went into labor with baby number 17 who's dad is Nick Bee.  Unfortunately I didn't capture any pictures of the baby but here's some pictures of Kami fully pregnant and getting ready to have that baby.

          Look at that belly.  
          And what will baby 17 be?
           Baby 17 was a girl and her name is Qadira.  Like a I said I didn't actually get any pictures of her as a baby but I did when she aged up.




          Kami wasted zero time and actually called up Eric Lewis for her next adventure into mommy hood.  She met Eric in front of the house and decided he would be the next man for her 18th child.  Here's a picture of Kami and Eric.

           The encounter was a success and Kami became pregnant with #18.  At this point Kami is about 14 days away from being an elder and will be slowing down with child bearing shortly but we're going to keep on going as long as we can.  I'd like to have my last girl aged up to young adult before Kami becomes and elder so we can just keep on going but we'll see how it goes.  Maribelle came to visit the day before Qadira aged up.  All Kami's kids come back to visit pretty often.  It's nice for the younger kids to know the older ones while they're growing up.

           The next sim day Qadira aged up, she came out with this weird hair do and just as I was going to get her into CAS to update her look my computer blue screened.  It was so frustrating so we had to play the day over and consequently she came out with the same hair do but a different outfit.  Kami did get an updated look though.  Her hair lightened and she opted for a more comfortable outfit for pregnancies   I changed her clothes because otherwise how would you know I wasn't posting the same pictures over and over again?  She got a complete overhaul though, it was nice to giver her a fresh look.

          Nathan also aged up that evening after school.  I was so happy that two kids had birthdays on the same day, it makes me feel productive.

          Happy birthday Nathan!  He looks just like his father and has one of the weirdest body types.





          The next morning after all the kiddos went to school I set on the task of bulldozing and rebuilding the house.  When you start this game you have to play with the money you have and then make money from there, which doesn't make for such a nice home.  After we sold things and kept what we wanted the Turner household had about $72K simoleons. I'll do a blog about the house, I didn't actually take photos during the rebuild process but I hope to update the house as we go.




           Ophelia also got an updated look and aged up to teen in the new house.  Happy birthday Ophelia. I made sure to update her wardrobe after she aged up as well.  Sometimes the game really picks some interesting choices for outfits.


           Kami went into labor on the same day Ophelia aged up.  This is Eric Lewis' baby.  I don't know why I make her labor at home, maybe if I were going to have my own mini humans that's how I'd want to do it.  Anyways, here we go with baby number 18, the first baby born in the new house.



           Baby number 18 was a boy!  His name is Russell.  I also failed to get baby pictures of him, but I feel like all the babies look the same so it's really pointless to take pictures of things like that.  Now if toddlers were in the game I could take all kinds of fun screenshots.



          Ophelia tried to burn the new house down while she was attempting to make grilled cheese.  It was quite the event and had the whole house freaking out.  We didn't have enough money to re-purchase the stove so it went broken for a few days until Kami had done enough paintings to make up the money.



          Poor Ophelia, the whole house was in a bad mood after this happened.  It took them a solid 24 sim hours to get over the fire.  With everyone in such horrible moods it was hard to get anyone to want to do anything.  No one aged up or performed well in school.  Nathan had to take a Friday off of school because he was so sour.  On that Friday Russell aged up.  Russell is a whiz kid and got the mean trait from the random generator.  He and Nathan had an awesome time playing chess together since they're both mean and Nathan is also childish.  I'm hoping on the next school day I have two teens that come home and age up to young adult.  I need to make some room for more babies.

          The house currently sits at 6 sims, and Kami is 12 days from aging up.  She went ahead and found another man, Jakob Finch so she's currently expecting baby number 19.  I also re-purchased the fertile trait for her to see if we could maybe get another set of twins but we'll see.  I can't wait to see what this next week will bring for the Turner family.  The next baby will have an S name.  I'm going to have to put my thinking cap on for which names I want for this next one.


          **UPDATE**
          I totally forgot to mention that Penelope aged up to teen.  I can't believe I forgot that.  She is really beautiful.  I am pretty proud of her makeover too.  She is Liam Hemsworth's daughter and I gave her a punk look.  Here's her birthday pictures.

          Happy Birthday Penelope


          She's just beautiful! 

          Until next time... dag dag
