Trever brought home baby number 21 but also aged up!

Clifford is only their sixth kid so I'm not sure they'll beat Kit's record of 15. Soon enough they'll have to start considering creating the perfect successor for the crown of Guardian too...

18/07/2023

Baby 20 is Blaine! I can't believe I'm already at 20, I'm officially a fifth of the way through this challenge.

Trever's first baby is here! Baby #16 is Tessa

25/06/2023

The whole family turned up for Kit's birthday! After however many days, Kit has adopted 15 babies, raising 9 to Young Adult, with their youngest a toddler.

They've been a successful painter, earning over 45k Simoleons to ensure the next generation can live comfortably, enough to adopt a further 45 babies.

It's now time for them to pass the reins on to the next Guardian... who will be Trever!

Kit won't be disappearing from the save (or dying any time soon), as they're retiring to a retirement home where all of the Guardians will eventually go (with ageing and Neighbourhood Stories turned off).

22/06/2023

Trever is now a Young Adult! I'm keeping them home for a while to determine whether they'll be the next Founder or not.

Their traits are Lone Wolf, Self-Assured, and Good, but they also got the Good Manners, Emotional Control, and Responsible bonus traits too (since I was completing the Super Parent aspiration).

21/06/2023

Baby #15 is Cornelius! I saw them in the adoption screen at the same time as Lilly and thought they'd be perfect (based solely on their name, naturally).

19/06/2023

Adelyn has reached Level 4 of Drama Club and is leaving us!

While the rules of 100 Adopted Babies Challenge say that teens need to get an A grade in school OR Level 3 of a career, I decided to go with Drama Club for Adelyn. It's not a part-time career, but it does function like one, except it has 4 levels instead.

To be fair, I decided to go to Level 4 before ageing them up, and now they're done!

On becoming a Young Adult, Adelyn has the traits:
- Good
- Materialistic
- Loyal
- Happy Toddler
- Gregarious

Kyra is baby #10 in our 100 Adopted Babies Challenge! I think this might be the last newborn to teen that Kit can raise before becoming an elder, so I'll be preparing Kyra to be the next Guardian probably?

17/05/2023

Tori autonomously decided to cheat their grades to an A... So now Tori can't age up into a Young Adult until they've reached level 3 of their part-time job! I love how the kids are actively making this challenge more difficult for me.

It's been a rough day for Kit. There are 2 infants and a 1 newborn in the house, a needy toddler, and everyone has forgotten their birthday! No time to rest though, just look at that rubbish around them.

My entry for Mivyard's Mini Miv Shell Challenge is a romantic pink-themed cottage

This idyllic cottage sits away from civilisation to house a couple who wanted to get away from it all. Complete with a small pond and the most romantic garden you could hope for, the cottage is home to a lovely couple who enjoy baking, romantic dates, writing, and meditation.

Honestly, this challenge is the worst when I see cute kids and toddlers to adopt but I can't because the rules say only newborns!

Sure, I made that rule up to make sure I wouldn't be tempted like this, but here I am!

Built a midnight library for a shell challenge!

Something about the shell's use of fencing made me think of libraries, and then as I added lighting I realised I wanted it to be the perfect place to do late-night studying and researching.

My base game interpretation of the Landgraabs from Bustin' Out!

I've pulled Malcolm in as an Adult and created Dudley and Mimi from Sims Bustin' Out, one of the first Sims games I ever played. I've set them up to have a bad relationship with Malcolm, as well as some basic skills and personality traits similar to their previous incarnations.

I didn't add Mom since she doesn't get with Malcolm until the end of the game, but I believe Mom is available on the Gallery!

Tell me: did you play Sims Bustin' Out? What did you think of Dudley and Mimi?

Free Sims requests!

I only use base game and the packs I own, which you can find on the page. I don't accept super-specific requests (like asking to use a highly specific item of clothing), but I'm very open to:
* colour themes
* LGBTQ+ family requests
* hobby themes
* name prompts

Do you have a Sim or family of Sims you'd like to see made, but don't have the time or want to do it yourself? Let me create them for you! I only use...
