    Ahh, I’m in the middle of the 100 baby challenge in Sims 3 - currently taking a break, but I think I was expecting baby 12 or 13, so I’ve got a ways to go. My whole family is doing it for fun, so we’re using some house rules: 1. one matriarch must birth all the babies, so we’re playing with Supernatural (even on normal lifespan, a fairy or vampire mother has a long, long time for baby producing, and we’re also trying for multiples as much as possible - that’s why I’m taking a break - sooo tired of kids’ music/kids’ tv). 2. We’re all playing in Lucky Palms, so one wishing well baby is allowed (if you get an evil child instead of a baby, they still count towards 100 babies, but you can’t use the wishing well again for a baby). You may also use the wishing well once for a baby father. 3. We’re also playing with Grim’s Manor, so babies made via Grimm with other women also count (which definitely helps up the number of people available to parent one’s babies). And 4. If you win big at the casino or at the wishing well, you may move to another house; otherwise you’re stuck upgrading the house you have, even if you make plenty of money from opportunities/artwork/books. Also, because I always like to have some sort of backstory for why my Sim is doing something, my matriarch has been chosen to repopulate the world with supernaturals, so now that she’s got her alchemy skill up, she’s hitting baby daddies with potions and hoping for supernatural infants! Lol, it’s a lot of fun! I hope more people watch your video and decide to give it a try in Sims 3! 😁😁😁

    I am legitimately so terrified to try the 100 baby challenge. I watched my college roommate / high school bestie do this challenge and was like 👀💦😱 The HORROR. At the time I was struggling keeping up with my regular families, let alone try to have ONE HUNDRED
    But if I do try… highkey leaning towards either alchemist or inventor for the matriarch’s money maker. Inventor is cute though since you can make your kids’ toys and I love that.

    • @Rekowcski

    Well, I was inspired and started trying to do the 100 baby challenge… Then my lady was only wanting to get married and wanting to see the same guy and she wouldn’t think of anything else, so I ended up not doing the baby challenge, but letting her marry her man and I guess I’m going to be playing a regular legacy family. You know what though, this is the most fun I’ve had playing Sims three in a long time. Maybe this legacy will go for many generations. Thanks for the inspiration! :-)

      When I play the Sims 2 or 3... i tend to complete the wants of my sims, so I completely understand. I'm glad you're having fun! IF you ever try again, I suggest the "non-committal" trait, so they wont (probably) want to be married or anything like that. Have fun!

    I tried the 100 baby challenge in Sims 4 and I quit around 20-25 babies in. I might try it for Sims 3... way too many rules for Sims 4 plus Sims 4 toddlers are like the pandemic babies/toddlers they are smarter, they don't sleep in cribs and they already know how to walk. Sims 3 toddlers seem more easy to care for than Sims 4.
