I had a request to take the idea used to make my
Hi Mum, it's Sammy blog into a challenge.
The results
http://sammysimmie.blogspot.com/p/clone-challenge-so-you-want-to-run-some.html
The heart of the idea is that you will be using one Sim cloned multiple times. Make them as you like in CAS then drop the family bin copy into new neighborhoods for the clones. The clones can look different but they should all have the same personality. Money cheats are not allowed. And the clones have to have different goals in life, get different jobs, find different mates.
Clones are meant to be relatively short throwaway games. So it's a great time to test stuff. The Sam Grant clone at the time of this post is the first vampire I've run in the game. He's tested out many other ideas; and a few of the short term challenges (bachelor challenge and toddler mania.) He's had a husband in one clone as well as wives for most of the others. He's raised triplets and adopted children. He's my Sim for testing out a variety of things.
If you take the challenge, let me know. Be interesting to hear if anyone else does.

I don't know how it works as a challenge but I love my Sam clones and their many lives.
Clone 47 doesn't end well.
I feel so sorry for him, but he WAS evil, I guess.
You know, I am thinking of doing this with Venus in a different sort of way, since her story is about to come to a close. As I have been reading this I have been toying with an idea in my head, but I can't decide. I'll have to wait and see.
But there have been lots of other Sammy clones and the average is a hard working happy Sim with family. :-)
Ohhh, That sounds interesting. Venus has been a laugh and a half doing Riverview her way! Toying with ideas is good. That's how Sammy clones started long long ago.
And I am sure everyone has thought that once in their lifetime. What if I had done this instead of that?
Well with your clones you can now find out!
Very cool.
Can wait to start my own clones.
A few questions;
Do you play each clone in a different neighborhood or do you play in the same one?
Also, what do you do with the old clone family?
Do you delete them or do you have your new clone run into your old clone? :shock:
I think that would make for one awesome story.
I actually still have most of the saves - so if I suddenly had a need to visit Sam 8 with his husband and two adopted children I could. I don't tend to except when testing that the newest EP/patch hasn't damaged anything.
I wouldn't recommend having clones meet in a game. There seems to be a hidden marker embedded in them so family ties could get really wonky.
I think I will try this.
Maybe, one of my clone could marry into the legacy house, and tell their side of the story of being involve with a legacy.
I'm not quite sure how you could have a clone in a legacy without them simply ending up as part of the legacy. But it's not against the rules if you really want to do it.

He has founded two families that are nearly legacies. But he's also done so very much more.
And a handsome avatar he is indeed!

Thanks I have decided to do this when I get generations.So that brings me to doing this one baby challenge and two legacies I must be nuts.
I found in Carl's Sims 3 forums someone who started a Clone challenge
I found another who is just using/abusing Sam.
Clone to watch for.
And do keep an eye on the original
http://sammysimmie.blogspot.com/ Sam Grant - whichever clone we happen to be on.
Anyone else definitely recycling a Sim via clones?
But I have this one sim a certain sunset townie - Marty Keaton - who I just can not get enough of - he has appeared in two of my Wishacy's and he sits in my bin and tests everything out for me.
I can be cruel if I need to be as Justine Keaton always finds out the minute I start off a new sunset file - she is either murdered (by me :shock: ) or cheated on and divorced :roll:
This chalenge will give me the perfect opportunity to play with Marty forever and blog it too which I enjoy doing.
So you can safely say this is a definate one for me and I will be doing your clone challenge very very soon

You were right, I don't notice this forum thread too often, I hadn't been to the forum for days. But your new blog is listed now.
