So far I have played with aging off in Sims 4. If I did this challenge what happens when they die? Would I have some messed up creepy bunch of ghosts terrifying the household or something? I hate the ghosts in the game. (I used to play Sims 1&2.) Also, how would thee adults help at all? Do all adults but the TH not work, or can I have them take a job? Otherwise no one but the TH would have a job. Plus, if the TH has a baby or toddler and cannot go to work (since they cannot hire a babysitter/nanny), who pays for anything? I understand the leave it up to them factors, but I am wondering how it would have any chance in regards to these factors.
@SheriGR I'll try and answer all your questions for you:
If I did this challenge what happens when they die? They're tombstone/urn is on your lot if they die on your lot
Would I have some messed up creepy bunch of ghosts terrifying the household or something? I hate the ghosts in the game. Yes, there would be ghosts. But you can release the spirits to the netherworld, and then you don't have ghosts. But, I've found that ghosts can be helpful. They will help with cleaning and taking care of children when they come around. So it's up to you if you want to release their spirits or not.
How would thee adults help at all? Do all adults but the TH not work, or can I have them take a job? Yes, non-torch holders can have jobs. There is a list at the bottom of the rules that states all the free actions you are allowed to use for each non-torch holder. And giving them a job is one of them.
@mojot89 ...Thank you so much for the answers. The only past interaction I had with ghosts in games was it terrifying the family, but I guest that was different? Kinda like my odd-ball scarecrow What about the babysitter/nanny? How can a sim ever go to work if they cannot hire a babysitter or nanny all throughout infancy and toddlerhood? Doesn't one appear automatically if you leave them alone? Is that one that appears allowed? I'm also a huge micromanager in my gaming style, so I thought this would be a cool balance/challenge for me. Thanks!

Hi SheriGR Your babies and toddlers are sent to the daycare automatically when you leave for work so no worries about that
Thank you, @Armika74 . I am also wondering, since I don't want to turn on aging of introduce all this chaos to my somewhat micromanaged households in my current game, do I go in and choose 'new game' on the load screen for the Sims 4? Also, if I do this, how do I get to the current game I am playing... will there then be two games in the load screen I can choose from to play?

You would choose 'new game' to play this challenge.
Your current game can then be found in the 'Load Game' screen in the main menu area.
*applause* Thank you everybody for answering @SheriGR 's questions. As for the save games, you don't HAVE to play it in a new save but from the sounds of it you don't want your micro-managed families doing things on their own/aging w/o you so it's probably best. After the new game is made, you then select Load Game and it'll bring up a menu screen where you select which specific save you want to play. Enjoy the ISBI crazies, and happy simming!
@Shadami@Lynnwood@Rawla@mojot89 You guys are all so sweet!! You made my day! I was so excited to be on a forum with others who shared my love os Sims. I rarely participate in any forum discussions (some here and there design/nerdy ones, but nothing fun like this). I tried saying something 'calming' on the 'angry about the gallery' thread on Saturday and I was so upset. It was like a shark attack. I told my husband I wanted to give these guys a 'shame on you' lecture from someone who may be old enough to be your mother. The anonymity of a forum is overrated and it is no excuse to treat others differently than you would face-to-face. *getting off my soap box*
Sadly that happens. But there's good people here to. ^^ pretty much everyone in the sims-lit section is extremely friendly.
I'm glad you popped in so we could make your day!
@SheriGR Ugh I'm so sorry that happened. >_< It's never okay in my book, and I share your distaste of the anonymous mob mentality that allows people to do that without fear. But rest assured you'll be well treated here in the crazy-folks challenge thread.
I had a moment and angrily deleted my game files (this happens when my game gets glitchy and I get into a mood...) so... restarting this and looking forward to seeing what happens! lol
I finished my first gen about to move in to the second... And at some point need to add up the points. I've just been keeping a tally hut didn't actually add them together yet.
Hi all, i have been non active with sims4 for a while and decided to finally get this challenge up and running (well posts about it) Finally got my 1st gen kiddlets... now the fun of them aging up and... well choosing an heir... I have posted updates if anyone wants to see https://jewellisbi.wordpress.com/ and more coming
I also see some links from other members i'm sure going to go and have a look
@mojot89 - Thank you so much! I actually added to follow your links. I'm just working on my next lot of updates now having a rest from the crazies lol @Lynnwood - Thank you so much for that I must say i am enjoying this challenge.. controlling one sim and only when i really need to does have its great advantages.
I do have one question tho.. it's still a while away for me and i can't recall reading it anywhere.. (might of missed it) ?? but re the points do the points carry over to the next gen Or start again? Just so i get this right
