Olde Mill Lane Boho-Farmhouse

I built my dream farm for cottage living on the empty lot in Old New Henford. It has one master bedroom, a guest room that could be used as a kids room too, an art studio for painting, flower arranging, knitting and cross stitching, a little rose garden, a field for crops, an old barn with a bar to offer some homemade cider and of course a chicken coop and two sheds for your cow and your lama.

She’s so pretty😍

Laeticia biked into town, found out pantry staples such as flour and sugar were more expensive than she had expected and met Markus. He needed a little convincing as he isn’t ready to be a father yet but couldn’t resist her in the end.

Laeticia is slowly but surely learning how to take care of her new animals. Her cow is on the sassy side but she found a sweet spot on her back where she always seems to be itchy and so they are becoming best of friends.

Clutter game on point

moving into a new home is hard for bark. it’s exhausting for her magically and emotionally but at some point looking at the same walls for years is equally exhausting if not more. being bound to the same plot of land for most of your long life makes changing homes hard. it takes a lot of magic and help from a few friends to get the job done but once it’s complete she feels more free. even though she’s still stuck at the same plot of land, watching it ever so slowly change around her as if she was watching the earth turn on it’s axis from above, time seems to slow down even more. that seems like a curse to many but to her it’s a blessing.

Context

You grew up in the fast paced city of San Myshuno but you never quite fit in there. You were always day dreaming of the country side and of simpler times. You spent most of your time at the library, reading about farming, climate change and essays about the negative impacts of technology on the Sims condition. You have come to the conclusion that modernity is to be rejected and that a more traditional, off the land lifestyle is necessary for the survival of the Sims species. Knowing that one sim alone can’t change the world, you move to Henford-on-Bagley with the intention of having as many offspring with different sims as possible to repopulate the Sims world with like-minded individuals. This challenge is a variant of the 100 babies challenge with additional rules. You win once your 100th offspring reaches adulthood. The rules are inspired by Shoobysims’ Post-Apocalyptic 100 babies challenge, be sure to check hers out!

Rules:

1. Founding sim

Create one young adult to play with.

You may chose your founder’s aspiration and traits.

2. Lot

Move your founder on 2 Olde Mill Lane.

You must have the simple living challenge lot trait and LittleMsSam’s live in store traits. You can add more challenge traits as you play but you cannot remove them once they are set. The other lot traits are up to you but chose wisely because you cannot change them.

3. Gameplay

You cannot use any electronics (computer, phone, TV, tablet, etc.), use MCC to remove autonomous phone interactions (exceptions: you may use your phone to host parties or travel to a vacation location).

Your kids and teens cannot go to school, use MCC here again.

You can use the travel interaction only if you have no toddlers/babies at home unless you have a teen at home that can babysit. The only exception to this is for Finwick fair on Saturdays.

You may travel to other worlds but you cannot go to San Myshuno or Del Sol Valley. Try to avoid places that have a modern feel to it (I’ll let you interpret that however you want).

You cannot go to the hospital, use home remedies if your sims are sick and labor at home (if you have GTW and want a wall of birth certificate you can get one following these steps and use LittleMsSam’s advanced birth certificate mod to rename it).

The only ways you can make money are through selling things in your store, through a yard sale, and by selling goods at the market on Saturdays during the fair. You can sell anything you make, cook, bake, harvest, fish, collect or were gifted.

All the aspirations and traits for your offspring must be randomized.

You cannot use cheats but mods are allowed.

Your babies can only age up on their birthday.

Your toddler and children can only age once all of their skills are at 3.

Your teens can only age once 3 of their skills are at 3.

All of the pregnancies must be by different sims.

If your founder cannot get pregnant the pregnant sim must join the household for the duration of the pregnancy.

If your founder dies or reaches the end of their childbearing age before the end of the challenge, the youngest offspring becomes the new heir.

4. Optional

I’ve been testing this challenge and it can be very hard if you start with sets of twins/triplets. You can make things easier for you by having one (1) other adult to help you out until your first offspring reaches childhood. They cannot have a job, leave your lot or impregnate your sim, they are there to assist you with the farm and raising the babies/toddlers only. They must move out immediately after your first toddler ages up!

I’m personally adding challenge traits to move towards self-sufficiency. I added the Reduce and Recycle challenge trait once I had enough offspring to help with the farm and then Off-the-Grid once I had enough power/water generating devices.

This challenge is meant to be fun, if some rules don’t work for you you can absolutely change them!
