I use this tool:
Imageresizer from Codeplex.com
It's a totally free utility under GNU-lisence. It works flawlessly under win8 too. It resizes single pictures to batches of well over a hundred at once. I routiniously resize well over 100 screenshots in under 5 seconds with it.
Image Resizer is fast, makes your screens extremely light-weight which is totally what you want for what you're doing and you have almost no fidelity-loss.
for the gamebooster a quick registration is needed, but personal details are not asked.
Here's the linkage:

*****Hey girls,
A quick note to inform you all that the image resizer that I use has been greatly updated and has moved hosts. The tool can now freely be had from this link:

I might give this a go tomorrow if I'm not too caught up in my other families and animal crossing
~MischiefTheKitten
Then came Hal Breckenridge. Being new to the town Constantine was unaware that Hal's motto was "Love 'em and leave 'em". She, being a very reserved and private person, was overwhelmed by Hal's charms and attractiveness. Hal told her he was in town for just this weekend and was looking for someone to help him find his way around town. Even though she new very little of her new neighborhood she didn't want to send him away.
Instead of standing in the rain, Constance invited Hal in. In no time he was putting on the moves and she was being taken right in. She didn't know what had come over herself. She'll never see him again right? Why not lose a little control? Being pent up in a house alone for days and days can make a woman stir crazy!
"oh Hal, you're soaking wet and muddy. Why don't you take a shower and I'll throw your cloths in the dryer?"
"Forget my cloths! Come join me in the shower!"
This was so unlike her! What the heck! It'll make for a great book later on. With the names changed of course ;-)

"Thanks babe. I think I'll be heading home now."
"Home? I thought you were staying at The Good Time Inn."
"I am. That's just what I like to call my house. Feel free to stop by anytime, if ya know what I mean." ;-)
Constance felt like a fool. How could she have fallen for that no good liar's show? She decided to shrug it off and use it to fuel her next novel. It may have been a lapse in judgement but she could always hope it turned into the next best seller

I enjoy it even though I haven't played it in a long time. If you do you can visit other peoples town or have up to 4(or maybe 3) people visit yours at a time. Its great for trading fruits into your town
"I haven't been out of the house in 2 weeks. How could I possibly have gotten sick?"
After spending a full day heaving and feeling terrible, Constance finally went to the DR.
"It's not the flu Ms. Shelley. You're pregnant."
"No no no no no no no no no no no!"
(Just to add a little surprise to my game, I sometimes set the woohooer so that all woohoo is risky. Sometimes it only takes once!)
"Hal, I think you should come over......"
Thinking he was going to get lucky he rushed right there.
"Hey beautiful. I was hoping you'd call me. If only these roses were half as lovely as you. Shall we take this conversation into the bedroom?"
"Hal, I'm pregnant."
"Well, you see babe, that's just not my problem. I don't 'do' babies. I gotta go."
"Smuck"

I'm about to head in game and will try this with my simself Lucky Palms, here I come!!
Edit: Nvm, just saw that you updated more than that oO I thought I'd hit refres but I guess I hadn't!
Anyway, I'm happy to see more people wanting to try this!
Animal Crossing has been out on several things so far, we own the one for he wii (which is the previous version), the one for the ds (which is the one before that) and now also the newest one which was released here yesterday and is for the 3ds It's already out in america, let me know if you decide to get any one them
~MischiefTheKitten
Just a view questions:
1. The Sim may have 1 baby but not necessarly at the beginning, right? I mean, it's our choice on when she/he has the baby?
2. By all carees you also mean part-time?
3. Is it possible that someone starts, for example as a teen, living with the mother or father, does all the part-time jobs, age up to ya and starts living alone?
Thanks!
Mischief- I looked up the game last night. I added the game for all 3 of those systems to my wishlist now ill have to work on talking the hubby into getting one of them ;-)
Eliroc- nice to see you! I purposely tried to have as few rules as possible. I honestly never play the part time jobs in most of my games so they were not even on my mind when I was thinking about all the dif jobs. If you want to start with a parent and child of any age go for it! I had not planned on getting Constance pregnant so early in my game (I had changed woohoo to risky and it usually takes forever). When they have their child (or adopt one) is totally up to you!
This challenge is about achieving LTWs, hitting the top of all the careers and doing it one sim at a time. Everything else is up to you.

I admit, now that I got the 3ds one (which looks beautiful) I'm not sure how much more I'll play the wii version oO Let me know which one you get, if any, and we can arrange to play together ^^
I've started playing now and will have some first pictures for you later Not much has happened so far, I basically moved in and just began the second day.
~MischiefTheKitten
I'm not sure how accurate she is, but she's supposed to be me. She's also going to kick this off
When I entered my new house I got the message that a meteor had struck, so I figured why not? It took her nearly all day to clean up, but we got there in the end ^^
After that my first priority was to change her outfit...
It might not seem too important, but she lives in Lucky Palms. If I keep her in her thick jumper and scarf she'll be dead before she gets a chance to adopt generation 2 oO
The dress she's wearing is supposed to be similar to one I got... It doesn't have the sparkles and a thin black belt, but it's the best I could do with what the game has, you know?
Since she doesn't have a lot of money right now I bought her a computer and got her writing:
She's got a cheap camera as well so I'll get her out to take some pictures next. Also, to my joyous surprise, she wants to adopt a cat, so once a kitten becomes available she may have one Maybe the kitten can help with finding things I can sell.
My plan right now is to make money first and then to move into a slightly bigger place. If I can't afford one by the time she becomes an adult I'll built one - since it only needs two bedrooms it won't need to be huge.
There might not be a lot happening for a while, so I probably won't post too many pictures. I'll keep you updated and will be around, though, so I'll comment on everything else that's going on ^^
So, goals for now:
Make money
Move
Adopt a cat
Adopt a child
Start a career (can't decide between writing and photography - she'll do both but I'm not sure which to officially sign up for at city hall)
~MischiefTheKitten
Also, I was already leaning towards the 3ds version of that game so I'm happy to hear that that's the one you really like.

Constance is determined to live like it's just any other day. She will not let this stop her writing career!
At least, that was the plan. She had overwhelming cravings for watermelons and hot dogs!
What better place for a pregnant gal to get her fill than at a food eating contest?
Maybe that was going a little overboard. And she didn't even win!
Maybe pretending everything was normal was not the right thing to do. She needed support. She needed help. Constance had no idea what she was doing.

I have tried to load your link to see what your story is about but I keep getting the maintenance page. Is is a 100 baby challenge or are you doing clones?

"Meadow, I'm pregnant and I have not idea what to do!"
"Oh congratulations! Being a mom is a wonderful thing! I love babies! You can feel free to call on me anytime!"
"No, you don't understand! I didn't want this to happen. I'm freaking out and Hal is not helping!"
"You definitely can't count on that old hound dog. Do you have a crib? What about toys and baby things?"
"....."
"Oh Constance! Maybe I can figure out if it's a girl or a boy. Then I'll take you shopping. This will be fun!"
