    I always thought, that I'm the only one who dislike the 100 baby challenge. For myself this challenge shows me the picture from women who are seen just as birth machines.
    Yeah that too. I mean there is a reverse 100 baby challenge too for men. Still never cared for it myself.

    Yeah that would be extremely disturbing to me. Too much like what happened to women during America's Slavery era.

    That said, unlike the 'alien abduction' that isn't built into the game. It's something you choose to explore. And I'm fine with letting other people explore their kinks with fictional characters - I just don't want it 'built in'. Especially when it's exploring non-censual things like the alien forced pregnancy one. But even something where the 'story' is that it's consensual like I imagine this baby challenge's "backstory" aludes - I find it 'freaky' and am glad it's not 'built in' but something you need to set your game up for.

    I don't use Discord because it doesn't support multiple accounts and I don't need folks at work wondering what I'm doing even on my own time. Until Discord catches up with every single other voice / video conferencing system, I limit where I use it:

    Origin should accept cash payments! I'm so sick of technical issues about paying through Paypal or VISA 😡

    If the tech could do that, I'd be for it. I have this constant mental internal battle between not liking how every payment system exposes you to identity issues vs. how every method that doesn't has basically been turned over to criminal operations so... an unsolvable mess between privacy vs. security.

    Have you considered buying an Origin gift card and using that instead? Not sure where you are, but Origin gift cards are sold in many places in the United States.

    True it is an optional pack. Why those that don't want occults in their game should avoid it. 100 baby challenges have the double the points for alien pregnancies, so it is encouraged to go that route for extra the points. Aliens are the first occult to enter the challenge back in 2015 and started the double point for occult trend:
    https://www.sims4studiodownload.com/100-baby-challenge-rules/
    "One occult born is equivalent to two human children. So basically, it adds two to your total child count."

    Anyway yeah see why I don't care for it. Because if aliens are considered mature rated then adding 100 pregnancies on top of it, well people are free to create adult rated content, just warn your viewers on Twitch and Youtube that your channel is for mature audiences only. There is the black widow challenge too which is similar to the 100 baby challenge, just you kill off the baby donors instead.

    😱
    What on earth is a “reverse 100 baby challenge for men”?

    Is this like a dude starting off with 100 babies and getting rid of them one by one?
    Even I could do a challenge like that. I’d be finished within one minute. 😅
    Pretty much, 1 male Sim getting 100 women pregnant, so yeah it is like the easier version of the 100 baby challenge:
    https://www.reddit.com/r/Sims4/comments/bvtezq/reverse_100_baby_challenge/

    Pretty crazy how many challenges are out there now. I've never been a fan of them myself although I do like HollieBB's Upgrowth Challenge except without the dice roll because I don't care for abortion. https://ultimatesimsguides.com/sims-4-challenges/

    Back on topic, my unpopular opinion:

    I do not want swimming to be enabled in all worlds.
    My love, my love, my fearless love, I will not say goodbye..
    Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
    My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
    Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..

    I think you might be the first person I have ever seen who has ever stated that.

    How come? Are you afraid it will break the game?

    Honestly, it's still an issue today for all women world-wide, no matter where they live either in developed eu-countries or underdeveloped countries. The free choice about the own body of a woman is restricted by many laws.

    I think, I said already enough, that topic is heavy discussed and heavy emotionally charged. And I let this topic about the 100th baby challenge rest now for me, I won't play it because I don't like it. :)

    Like ok, I don't mind it if they upload an interesting pool lot or an interestingly shaped pool, but a straight-up square that anyone can build? Man, depths of laziness right there. XD

    I’d have to agree with that.
    This poor person may never build again because of one comment.
    I would hope it has an opposite effect on them and they’re about to create and share the most amazing builds on that gallery!

    *opens up gallery to favorite and download “Pool”. 😇

    Shame on both of you. As others have said, it could be a kid. It could be a first time builder. It could be a person with a learning disability. I'm just shocked and appalled that you would say such things without considering the person on the other side of the screen. To whomever built "Pool", I'm sorry on behalf of both of them.

    Just because you don’t want to play occult’s does not mean you don’t want some of the other things in the pack, they do come with new hairs, new clothes and new Build and Buy items. Even with realm of Magic ( and I really wanted witches before the pack came ), I actually get more use out of the furniture and clothes than actually playing a witch, though I actually do have twin witches I’ve played. I bought get to work for the new careers and retail. I like vampires for the clothes and the world of forgotten hollow. If there are toggles in packs it makes other simmers more likely to buy them even if they don’t care for the occult. If you were selling a product, you would want the most sales you could get. The little bit of interruption from occult’s do not bother me, I just haven’t felt much like actually playing them.

    Oh, no it's not that :) I wrote it badly, I should of said "all waters in all the worlds"
    I meant more like, naturally in areas what is clearly meant to be a beach, like some areas in Windenburg and BB, should be, but not all the waters :)

    If I could watch my Sim swim in a puddle in his neighbor's front yard, I'd make sure he had his Bubbletron5000 and a few juices!

    You have no idea of who that person is, most likely they are new to the game. They might be a child, or someone with a disability, or someone that just got the game. My first couple of houses were a disaster, and I’m still not a great builder, practice doesn’t necessarily make perfect, but it does help.

    I think it was a very unkind thing for you to say…..why do you upload things?

    If I upload something someone likes, and downloads, I’m just happy they have found a use for it.

    I upload my sims every once in awhile with a hashtag when I update them in case something happens to my computer or save file, I have done the same with made over townies. My main intention being preservation for myself in case something happens.

    Trolls are a downer, is true but, I bet your stuff isn't as awful as you think it is. Even if it's worse, if it's fun and you can express yourself through your art, that's all that matters. And yes, all of these creations are art.

    Could be an accident. Unless they have a lot of that.

    I very often save pieces of things to my library to do something with them or when I need to find some flaw in the CC. I'm always worried that I might accidentally share it the gallery, but I've been lucky so far.

    If I ever wanted to share something with my nieces though - even something trivial, the gallery's the easiest way to do it.
