Extreme raising kids challenge

I came up with this challenge idea and first thought would be just a bit of fun but so far it has been the only challenge in this game I haven't yet been able to complete... 

I created a family with one normal adult sim
and six toddlers: witch, genie, werewolf, vampire, faerie and ghost.

I bought them a lot and built a house with no cheats or money codes

The only adult sim I created is not a big fan of children... Her traits are dislikes children,
commitment issues, ambitious, flirty and workaholic. 

At the beginning I had my game on normal ageing mode and the idea was
to count one point per each trait you get to choose yourself when the
toddlers are aging. If your toddler get taken away from you by the social
workers you not only loose the possibility to earn more trait points with this
child but also get one minus point. I was planning to end this challenge when
all the kids have reached young adult stage.

On the fifth day with only two more days for my toddlers to age I noticed
that only four of them can go to toilet on their own, two of them can walk
and none of them can talk...

Before you manage to teach all of them how to use a toilet there's no way
you can even dream of teaching them to walk or talk. You only have time
to take care of their basic needs (if sometimes even that).

The only adult sim hasn't had a change to start her courier yet and because
I'm not using any cheats can't afford to hire a babysitter. I managed to pay
my bills by selling bugs my werewolf toddler catches by using his
practise hunting ability.

So I changed the game settings that my sims will be toddlers 14 days
instead of only 7 days. After they all learned to go to toilet themselves
I managed to teach them how to walk and talk. If your toddler hasn't
learned all these skills before his birthday you can't choose his traits.
And in this challenge it means losing some important points. So teach
all the needed skills to one child and after that move to another child.

This is one of the most common view of this challenge! After the first day your
adult sims energy bar won't at any point be any other colour that red or orange
before your toddlers become children...

Day 14 in the morning. All my toddlers can go to toilet, five of them can talk
and four of them can walk. Not going to get all the theoretical 12 trait points.
But I'm trying my best to get that fifth toddler to walk and get in total five trait points.
I didn't get any children taking away from me by the social workers though!

The Sims 3 into the Future - The Best Screenshots

At the beginning the time traveller from Oasis Landing will show up in your lot. 

He'll give you the Almanac of time and leave a time portal.

Oasis Landing

You'll get lots of new futuristic items. Here's my sim using a hologram tv.
I also really like those new hologram flowers which colour you can choose and
glass tiles on the roof.

Using an advanced technology isn't always easy... Here's me failing to use a sonic shower.

Playing a Laser Rhythm-a-con. 

Catch 'em all! This is one of the 11 Holo Disc Sprites.

Creating my own Plumbot robot. 

There's no need to walk anymore!

In Oasis Landing you also get to meet your descendants.

My Plumbot is playing a 3D chess.

Using a drink synthesizer 

You also get a food synthesizer and a couple of new foods 

like these nutrition cubes.

There's also a new plant called a Crystal Flower. You can charge it with
different feelings and it will change colour. Here my Plumbot is charging
a Crystal Flower with rage. 

Plumbots charging. On the left is a normal dream pod and on the right
is a hibernation chamber you get with the limited edition expansion.

Have you ever done this in Sims 3

Have you ever forgot how to drive a car?

Or have you ever had a birthday like this one? Fire destroyed the cake, dinner
table and my husband! Also the birthday baby seems to have disappeared... 

Have you ever killed more than one sim with a meteor? 

Have you ever got yourself a souvenir baby from Egypt?
I must add that the baby girl who was born soon after this trip
had as an adult very similar sort of a trip to China...

Have you ever had a ghost in your lot who is so scary it freaked even the grim reaper out? 

Have you ever had a video in your phone so rude that it disgusts
the man who just robbed you?

Have you ever been crying about your grandmothers death
on your grandmothers ghost shoulder? 

Has your sim ever cloned an alien and died very soon after that? And has he
then returned and taught that alien boy how to drive a car?
(I didn't wake him up from dead and his grave stone was in the garden
during the whole driving lesson. After the lesson this alien kid just left his
teacher miles from their home and it took the ghost days to get back...)

Have you ever received 40 000 simoleons worth of bills?
I had 8 money trees and they were eaten by zombies one night.
Well apparently money trees turn into bills when eaten.
And of course I was playing my legacy game so losing that money felt even worse...

Have you ever got your social media skills at the level 10 and then changed your
status with grim reaper as in relationship? Here in this picture my sim is writing
him a love letter... Seems like a long distance relationship!

Of all the beautiful lakes and rivers in Dragon Valley this must be my favourite!

The most beautiful school in all the Sims 3 expansions you get with Dragon Valley.

You need to talk to the egg and after five sim hours it will hatch!

My sim and her new baby dragon!

Dragons can do different tricks depending on their colour

My dragon just dragged a random townie in my lot... 

Your sim and whoever your dragon brings on your property become friends!

My Legacy Game in Sunset Valley (part 2)



At the beginning of my legacy game I didn't even have enough money to buy plants from the supermarket so I had to look for some wild plants and seeds.



I didn't have enough money to buy food so I went to the main park and ate from someones picnic basket...

And sometimes I went to the gym only for a shower because my own was so bad.

My first plants!

I kept practicing my gardening skills and was soon able to plant all kinds of plants.

And soon by selling fruits I was able to buy more furniture

I was also wondering where to find a suitable father for my legacy founders baby and then he walked on my door himself!

Got my sim pregnant!!

And she gave birth to my first legacy heir

My sim reached her life goal of a perfect garden and a level 10 in gardening profession.

All possible fruits, herbs, mushrooms, beefs, cheese and egg in perfect quality!
