The Official The Sims 4 100 Baby Challenge [UPDATED ON DEC 29, 2018]

The Official 100 Baby Challenge Hello! You may be wondering where the heck the 100 Baby Challenge Rules went. The truth is, it got really difficult for me to keep up with updating the challenge here and on other fan sites I had it posted on, so I ended up falling behind on updating in a couple places (like here), which led to a lot of craziness and confusion.
Fear not, though! I came up with a quick and easy solution.
From now on, you can find the 100 Baby Challenge rules along with all the updates right here on my simblr: https://snarky-sims-witch.tumblr.com/post/181535303038/the-sims-4-100-baby-challenge
Happy Simming!

Thanks! I'm playing with these rules right now and I haven't encountered problems so far. It's actually a really good thing I decided to allow adoptions before playing because it turned out my matriarch's aspiration required her to adopt a child, lol. He doesn't count towards the 100 child count so I'm hoping I can have him do really well in school so I can age him up and move him out fast.

Haha, I kid, I kid.
Haha well it felt kind of arrogant to barge in and be like "These are my rules and I'm making them official!" when I didn't write the original challenge but I agree, we definitely need a set of rules that is more or less uniform among all the challenge players. I'll get around to adding a point system later for this.

I seem to remember a restriction about the matriarch not being able to leave the lot unless it was to find a donor. Did I make that up? lol Leave it to me to make things harder on myself!
It was a restriction in The Sims 3 but I eased up on it for The Sims 4, mostly because of the common space around lots within the different districts. I didn't see a reason why I would need to restrict her from leaving her lot. Since she can't have a job either, also restricting her from going to the clubs to perform for tips seemed silly to me. I wanted her to be able to collect and perform and earn money in any of the ways that don't require her to have a career.
My matriarch took up painting so she rarely leaves her district (she does chase down men regularly in the community garden near her house, lol) but if she had been a music lover or an aspiring comedian, she would have needed to leave her home to make tips.

Thanks! Yeah, I noticed a lot of people wanted to play The Sims 4 for the 100 Baby Challenge but no one really had a proper set of adapted rules to go by and I love writing and adapting challenges so I decided to just go ahead and write one up for people.

Can you actually have 100 children in one blood line without having your game implode? I've always thought my game would bog down entirely with this challenge.
In The Sims 3, it often caused complete meltdowns but The Sims 3 had Story Progression so if your matriarch had 20 children in her lifetime, one of those children would likely have 20 more for your challenge but then the other 19 children you moved out would also each have several children and the number of Sims could easily multiply into the thousands that way very quickly. With The Sims 4, at least you know that only one child will go on to have a lot of children and the others will just grow old and die childless unless you intervene.

Yep, I probably will. This weekend's pretty busy for me since it's Thanksgiving weekend in Canada but I plan to make an optional point system for those who like to collect points and earn high scores. Anyone who doesn't wish to play for points doesn't have to; they can just follow the basic rules for fun.

Are you thinking of the Legacy Challenge? In the Legacy Challenge, the traits of the spouses matter for points but in this challenge, their traits are pretty irrelevant except for randomly generating their child's traits. It's actually very easy to find out the traits of the fathers for that (three button clicks from map view, in fact).
In map view, select Household Management, find the father and select to edit the household in CAS. Note his traits then exit.
Personally, I find taking care of all those children and getting all their grades up to an A so I can age them up the biggest hassle in the challenge but then again, it is a challenge so it's meant to be, well, challenging.
As for the squinty-eyed, block-jaw glitch, everyone has it. The last patch broke the genetics. It's up to you whether you want to play with aging on or not until that gets fixed but I don't blame you for not wanting to. I don't really want to play my game at all until that's fixed; I've been playing Dragon Age instead.

Amazing how nice your house can get just from painting! Wanted to do guitar but who has time for that? lol
Lol nope! Not cheating. If you unlock something the proper way without using mods or cheats, you're fine. If the rules don't specifically say you can't use something, then it's fair game as log as you didn't cheat to get it.
I never managed to complete this challenge actually but that doesn't stop me from trying my hardest to do so lol! There's something addictive about it.
