So I stopped actually blogging it, took too much time and fun away from the game in my opinion, so you can actually take me off whenever you feel like it - I just wanted to say I had 2 kids (twins) and figured I would have one more, because why not... Nope, more twins! I don't have any fertility on either sim, WHAT!? Lol, I'm still in a little 2 bedroom house with barely any money! Oh goodness...

Aweee - these two twins are adorable though. They're such good kids too!

RoggieBear

So.. I have Risky Woohoo installed too, just to make it more fun. After those 2 kids I managed to end up with 2 MORE PAIRS of twins... so now I have 2 children, 2 toddlers, and 2 babies who aren't yet born (I got bored waiting to see what kids are getting born lol) But... I'm starting to wonder if something may be glitched making me have all these twins...

Lynnwood

@RoggieBear - Yeeeeah, if you're using mods like MC, that might have some sort of setting that's guaranteeing you multiples in your births. I'd double check that, because the odds on three sets of twins in a row is mind-boggling.

I finally started to play again with my ISBI family but I have a question. My new TH's aspiration is the Jungle Explorer and I would be curious to I have to bring the family (wife and kids) along when he travels to Selvadorada? Not only to the vacation but to the deep jungle?
The image of toddlers in the jungle is truly dreadful so if yes I probably will finish his aspiration before having a family.

I got twins three times in a row in my matriarch challenge with no mods. They could just be very fertile sims.

Lynnwood

@MintyMango - You would not have to bring the family with him to Simsalvadora, you could just leave them at home while he does aspiration stuff on vacation.

Fun to see new stories! I'm playing my ISBI again for the first time in ages.

mojot89

@silveRose82_ SAME! And I've obviously forgotten how to play an ISBI... lol

silveRose82_

@mojot89 OMG, right??? I'm reviewing the rules because I have totally forgotten what I'm doing. lol

mojot89

@silveRose82_ Totally! But it's really nice to be back with the Wilde's lol. Even though they infuriate me to no end

silveRose82_

I need to go catch up soon.

mojot89

I only have 2 updates posted since the last time you read it, so it's not a lot to catch up on lol

silveRose82_

Yeah, the Otts have a new one out and one on the way eventually. It was nice to get back to them.

Lynnwood

LOL great to see you guys back! I'll have to check out the updates when I can. World of Warcraft is about to drop Shadowlands though, sooooo . . . I'm gonna be pretty engrossed for a while. Happy Holidays to all, if I don't check back in time to say it again!!

Hello everyone

I would like to try this challenge. Sounds very funny & I love chaos!

But I still have one or two questions:

What is ment by Social Worker Visit? When a child gets picked up by a social worker? Or are there other types of social workers in the game that I have not noticed yet?

And how can I encourage NTHs to improve their skills or to fulfil their aspirations? Do you have any tips?

And why do some people play with the erratic trait, what are the advantages, what are the disadvantages?

And another question, if the new heir accepts his task, what will you do with the old heir? Does he remain in your household or can he be moved out?
Or another question, can I move with my new heir into another house?

I'd be grateful for answers .

Lynnwood

Social Worker visit does in fact mean someone coming to remove a child from the home.

Some quick tips - You can place objects that boost a mood, say . . . Logic to influence sim children to do homework. You can also create a family 'club' if you have Get Together, and assign specific tasks like doing homework or chores (though personally I feel like this one's a little cheat-y, but it's not technically against the rules).

The Erratic trait makes the sims, well . . . erratic. They might sabotage socials that should've otherwise gone fine. Children are more prone to make massive messes and act out. Things like that.

The Former TH remains in the house and becomes a NTH character - basically now living out the rest of their retired life on autonomy, for good or ill.

And yes you can move into a new house or 'property,' but they need to remain in the same household (keep all family members - former TH and NTH spouse and any siblings that have not yet reached young adult).

Hope that helps! Good luck! Enjoy the crazies.
