    This is based on a challenge I found in the past. I dont remember the name of it or who made it, but this is not my own original idea.
    This is currently being play tested. Rules are subject to change. If you have any ideas, feel free to post on the thread.

    Setup:
    • Make a single sim with the Big Happy Family Aspiration and the Family Oriented, and 2 other traits. This will be your orphanage owner and can be either human, vampire, or alien. Do not use Story Mode to create this sim.
    • Your orphanage owner should be made from scratch. Since you can earn points from skill building and aspiration stage completion, see points fore more details, you wouldn't get the same kind of score as others because it takes less time to max a skill that way then it would other people.
    • Move your sim into any size lot. This is where you can use your creativity. Build your orphanage in anyway you choose. You can make it as big or small as you want, and you can use money cheats as needed. Reduce funds to $10,000 when complete.
    • Make sure Aging is OFF. You will age up your sims as the challenge progresses.
    • Decide if you want to adopt children, toddlers, or babies each week. Refer to scorecard for point bonuses. (Consider the pros and cons of each option. While babies may seem like the best option because of 10 point bonus, you are also forfeiting opportunities to get skill, aspiration, and character value points. Choose what you think you can handle because you'll be stuck with this choice for the rest of the challenge.)

    Gameplay:
    • Adopt life stage decided at the beginning of the day on Sunday..
    • Age up sims at the end of the day Saturday the week they are supposed to age up.
    • Age up Babies after 1 week.
    • Age Up Toddlers after 2 weeks.
    • Age up children after 2 weeks.
    • Age up Teens after 2 weeks.
    • Age up your Original sim every 8 weeks. (Only applies if they can age up)
    • Move sims out once they reach Young Adult. Example:
      If you choose to adopt babies:

      If you choose to adopt toddlers:

      If you choose to adopt children:

    • Before you move out your sim, but without playing as the sim that is moving out, check to see which aspiration stages you've completed. Any that are complete before they move out are counted towards the final score.
    • You may not adopt a cat or dog. There will not be room in the household. (Note that if you choose to adopt toddlers or children, there will be room for pets. If this is the case, you can adopt them. (3 allowed if adopting children, 1 allowed if adopting toddlers))
    • You may hire any service at any time except the nanny service which may only be used when you are adopting another baby.
    • You get paid $5,000 a week. Receive this salary on Saturday of each week. This is your salary for running the orphanage. Other money making methods are allowed, but you cannot get a job or run a business as the orphanage is your job. (For bonus points: Receive a reduced salary of 2,500 or Receive no salary. Refer to scorecard for point bonuses.)
    • Teens are allowed to get a part-time job.
    • Randomize your children's traits and aspirations. You cannot pick them yourself. (See below for random trait and aspiration generators)

    Ending the Challenge:
    • Challenge Ends when your original sim dies or after 24 weeks.
    • If they are a Vampire and never reach elder, the challenge ends after 24 weeks or when they die.
    • On Saturday of week 24, age up sims to the life stage they would be at if you were to continue to week 25, and check all aspirations and skills. Check character values of toddlers and children because they do get character trait points if they would get them if they were to become YA sims then. See Points section for more details on this.

    I plan to use PlatinumSimmers Randomiser for the second parent.

    This one is great and does just what it says. Based on the two parents traits it generates traits and aspirations for child, teen and yound adult. The minor drawback is Toddler traits are not considered.

    Points (Optional):
    Scorecard: Updated to Eco Lifestyle
    To gain access to the document, Click "file", "make a copy", and "ok". This will give you a copy that you can edit.
    To update your existing scorecard, follow the same steps and transfer your data manually.
    The scorecard is setup so you only have to change the first column for each sim. For example, if you reach level 10 of the charisma skill, the scorecard will automatically calculate that you've maxed the skill and add in the bonus points for maxing that skill.
