<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Links to Rules and Inspiration:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Original 100 Baby Challenge</b>: http://babychallengerules.wordpress.com/rules/</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Well-Rounded Family Challenge</b>: http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?goto=lastpost&t=498890</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Objective</b>: Raise 100 children within set parameters with a single sim in order to achieve a lifetime reward/goal. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Requirements</b>: Works best with Base Game and all expansion packs (through University) as well as store content items, but can be adapted to fit your needs. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Goal</b>: Choose a reason to complete the challenge and an incentive for them to be successful </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Settings</b>: Normal Default Settings (90 days) – Seasons, Lunar Cycle and Demographics – Optional, Mods that do not change gameplay/skill items are allowed </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Premise</b>: (Can be unique to each person playing the challenge) A young sim (best with female) has just suffered a tragic accident that cost the life of their spouse (childhood sweetheart) and only child. A successful bargain with the Grim Reaper has given a second chance. The Grim Reaper wants 100 potential souls in exchange for the life of the two you have lost. One sim will be brought back (in ghost form) and the other will be returned upon successful completion of the challenge Will your sim have the stamina to continue knowing that each life created could be taken away prematurely for your selfish wants?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The challenge ends when you successfully resurrect your ghostly sim and raise 100 children to young adult status. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Rules for the Founder</b>: </span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Founder must learn/acquire a method of resetting their age that can only be consumed on their 90th day. This will happen as often as need be in order to meet the challenge rules</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A jelly bean bush must be acquired and placed in a locked area that can only be accessed when the time is called for. It is a gift from the Grim Reaper.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Select the largest residential lot and create your home or use a pre-existing home. Regardless, after placing the jelly bean bush in a locked room, reduce family funds to $0.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">INDIVIDUAL GOAL/REWARD – establish an ultimate goal/reward for your sim on completion of the challenge. Example: During the course of my challenge, the founder must discover the secret to restore a ghost to human form. This can only be done as the final act of the challenge.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All spouses/sims that contribute to the bloodline MUST live in the house until their death, even if divorce occurs. Remarriage is always an option.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ALL midlife crisis wishes must be completed either before or after the crisis is over (unless you have 4 locked midlife wishes, you must cancel a wish and complete them)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Traveling is allowed but entirely optional.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A career is optional and can be a rabbit-hole or profession. You must change careers each time your sim ages back down to Young Again. • Casino items are OFF LIMITS for everyone except the founder on the following days only (1st day in town until 10 pm and every birthday after)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You may live in a pre-built home or build your own. You may move as often as you wish. Just set family funds to $0 before starting the game.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cannot get pregnant until the youngest child in the home is within 48 sim hours of aging up to Child status. Twins and triplets are fine.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gifts from friends are acceptable and can be used/sold immediately</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Must train toddler skills the old-fashioned way (no daycare items to learn skills) – until restricted items are unlocked. (see Rules for Children)</span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You must paint a portrait of your child as a toddler, child, teen, and young adult before moving them out. </span></li>

(kind of)Wow! This series is really a lot of fun to make! I've made it to 12 episodes!!<br />
<br />
I have always loved World Adventures, but with the new addition of Supernatural, there are just so many unexpected happenings to deal with. Today, I actually sat down to record and did quite a bit of in-recording editing. Even with making some heavy cuts, the time just crept up on me and I ended up with my very first hour-long special! It wasn't intended, but if you like longer videos, you are in for a treat!<br />
<br />
One word on the next episode - I had to split the episode into two parts so there will be no intro to Episode 12 (nor any ending for episode 11). I really didn't do a great job on watching the timer but will be more diligent in the future!!<br />
<br />
Thank you for stopping by here and I hope you return!<br />

I'm really excited to introduce my very first Let's Play series of The Sims 3.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The series started this past week and the first six episodes are now available on my youtube channel (Llandros09). I decided to hold off on doing a Supernatural LP and any other expansion until after Seasons is released, although I'm really tempted to go ahead and dive into a Supernatural series as well. I don't really know why but I just feel like something major is missing now that I have seen some of what we can expect in November.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
World Adventures will not actually have seasonal changes so I decided that I would start there and fully explore all three travel destinations. I do enjoy this expansion pack and I am really enjoying my first ever series.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am VERY low on subscribers but will still continue to create these videos in the hopes that the viewers will eventually come. I hope that if you are reading this blog, you will join me in the series and comment on what you like and don't like - your input is greatly needed!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So welcome again and thank you for dropping by. I hope to see you again soon! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I will leave you with a link to the very first episode in this series.</div>
