avaricesims Welcome to the very first chapter of my very first 100 Baby Challenge! In the introduction we met our matriarch, Snow White:
She is a modern take on Disney's Snow White, the first Disney Princess and star of the first feature-length animated film ever. Our Snow White is Family-Oriented, Childish, and a Geek, and - unsurprisingly - wants a Big Happy Family.
Confession: the only Sims challenge I've ever played is legacies, so having a house at the start is a wild concept to me. Snow gets to live in this sweet little starter in Brindleton Bay, overlooking a beach. Unfortunately, the cost of the starter house leaves her with mere pennies left over, just a few hundred simoleons.
Also, it's raining when Snow arrives, and she looks less than impressed with starting her life soaked to the skin. I'm sure finding out her purpose in life will cheer her up!
Benevolent Creator (BC): Welcome to your humble abode, Snow. You, my friend, are the matriarch for a 100 baby challenge.
Snow: I'm a what in a what
BC: You need to have as many babies as possible, in as short a time frame as possible. Shouldn't be hard, as you want a big family, right?
Snow: I was thinking like, three kids. Maybe four.
BC: That's not going to cut it. Start thinking fertile thoughts.
Snow: Whatever. I have to find a loving a supportive husband first, so we'll see how much time there is for babies after that.
BC: Oh no, no no no. You can't get married.
Snow: why not?
BC: arbitrary rules, basically. You're going to be a single mother.
Snow: Are you serious? Where are these babies coming from, then?
BC: Donors. Although we don't have IVF technology, so you get to frick frack with them. You can only use each donor once, though. Each of your children will have a different father.
Snow: oh my God you're insane
BC: hey, I didn't make the rules. I just enforce them for shitz and gigglez.
Snow: so let me get this straight. I have to have baby after baby, to a series of different fathers, and raise each of them on my own with no help?
BC: you got it! Also no job, because those kids will need you to be around.
Snow: how will we survive?!
BC: you'll figure it out! I suggest planting a garden.
Snow: you do realise no one woman, regardless of how fertile, can have 100 babies in her lifetime, right?
BC: of course. In this universe you actually don't age when pregnant, so in theory you could be an immortal ever-pregnant baby-making machine without even cheating, but there's a household limit of eight. So you will run out of room, and that will limit your numbers.
Snow: immortal...baby...machine...Jesus Christ on a cracker. Okay, so how do you get 100 babies out of me, then?
BC: your youngest daughter will take over when you're too old to have more children.
Snow: this is a multi-generational thing?! I have to inflict this irresponsible rapid-fire baby making with a constant stream of new men on my DAUGHTER?
BC: yes! So fun!
Snow: what if I refuse?
BC: your other choice is to be a Legacy founder, and you will spend half your life living on a lawn and eating cereal. At least this way you get a roof over your head.
Snow: .... ..... ....
Snow: okay. Show me the house.
The house is...humble, shall we say? But it DOES have everything one needs to survive, and it even has wallpaper, which is more than a legacy founder can say for a very long time.
The lounge lacks a TV but there is books, and a useful nook behind the couch for once we have toddlers.
Also downstairs, a simple bathroom full of plumbing that is sure to break if you even look at it funny.
The very austere master bedroom is in the attic.
On the other side of the attic is a desk, and space for a child's bedroom one day, although it is technically one room with the master and split only by the stairs, no walls. However, there is some room for expansion up here, with unused attic space if the roof was raised. All in all, it's a very respectable simple starter home that should fit Snow and her children, at a pinch, and especially if we can make enough money for future renovations.
Snow, muttering: this is some bullshit. One hundred babies? The BC is mental.
BC: I can hear you.
Snow: that's nice.
We have a sassy matriarch on our hands.
Snow: ugh! This is disgusting.
BC: low cooking skill and crappy appliances will do that. It'll get better.
Snow: when?!
BC: ... uh, let's get you out of the house.
This is the library in Willow Creek in the Plumbella save file. Isn't it gorgeous? So much more functional and interesting. I'll deal with fixing naked Sims if I get this kind of thing.
Snow gets to meeting people, but there is a sad lack of potential donors. Still, when you're going to be a single mother of lots of children, friends are important.
As are naps. Snow won't get many of these once the babies start coming, and they will rarely be on such a comfortable sofa!
The next morning, Snow is still in her jimjams when the welcome wagon arrives. Her neighbours swing by - this is Supriya Delgato.
And her husband Justin Delgato, who brings the fruitcake - luckily, as Snow appears to be starving to death on the porch.
Snow eats (and hates) the fruitcake, but she gets even with Justin because he helped himself to her crappy mac'n'cheese and was not impressed either.
Supriya seems nice enough, but Snow is rather taken with Justin.
Snow: he's family-oriented, like me!
BC: yes, and he has a wife and two children already.
Snow: you never said the donors had to be single men. He's also a regional manager, so he's responsible and ambitious. He likes cats and is neat. His sperm would be excellent.
BC: a married man will be much harder to convince! And is wife is sitting right there. I don't think Justin is a wise choice.
Snow: fuck what you think, tbqh.
I'm sure Justin just wants to be friends, and has absolutely no intention of cheating on his wife, but he DID invite Snow to the Spice Festival the next day.
Snow: see, he's perfect. I love spicy food.
Snow does meet a couple of other handsome men and potential donors, although several of them are also married. Marcus Flex could be a good option, though?
Snow: he's non-committal. I don't like it.
BC: that's perfect though! You don't need commitment, you need an ejaculation!
Snow: don't be so crass.
Snow: Justin is handsome, and smart, and also flirting with me. So there.
She does get to know the others a bit too, as even if Snow gets her wish and manages to seduce Justin away from his suburban Dad life and into her bed (and womb), she'll need other father figures in future.
BC: how's the table taste, Snow?
Snow: excellent, thank you for asking.
The next day Snow invites herself around to Justin's house, wanting to see where he lives (which is a huge kickass mansion in Brindleton Bay, overlooking the beach. He and Supriya aren't doing too badly for themselves).
Justin cannot resist her playful compliments and suggestive banter, even as he flashes his wedding ring around while responding.
Justin: this is what mac'n'cheese SHOULD taste like. Do you want to try some?
Snow: I'd rather taste something else.
Justin: Snow...I'm very flattered, but I'm married, and I love my wife.
Snow: I know. It's just...such a shame we didn't meet sooner, don't you think?
Pierce Delgato: so, you're friends with my Dad, huh?
Snow: .... friends, sure. Do you have any siblings?
Pierce: a little sister
Snow: what's that like? Do you think you'd like one more?
Pierce: you're weird, lady.
Snow: I'm not the one eating an enormous bowl of peas with nothing else. That's a side dish, not a meal, you know that right?
In between trying to lure Justin away from his family and wife, Snow makes a start on the collections. I'd like her to complete at least one in her lifetime, plus we could do with the money from selling the extras.
She also enjoys meeting the many Brindleton Bay strays, but she's not allowed to actually befriend any because we can't fit pets into the household. Sorry Snow!
Later that night...
Vlad: I would like a little drinkie please. Just a little one.
Alas, it is a milestone of every Sims save once you have Vampires installed, and Snow must submit to tradition. I installed this pack part way through the Legend Legacy so Vlad never visited them...I'm actually a little glad to see him living up to his stalker reputation.
Even if it means a grumpy Snow in the morning.
Recovery doesn't take too long though. Justin invited Snow out to a lounge, and I do have to say, for a married man he is initiating them spending time together an awful lot.
Justin: I'm just trying to be a good neighbour
BC: oh, really?
Justin: yes. It's not my fault my neighbour is an extremely attractive single woman who appears desperate to drag me into bed, now, is it?
Snow: that cloud looks like two people having sex
Justin: *chokes*
Snow: I really enjoy spending time with you, Justin.
Justin: I love spending time with you too. You're so interesting...and forward...
Snow: would you like to come back to my place?
Justin: ...I don't know if I should.
Snow: just for some coffee. Or some mac'n'cheese. I'm getting better at making it.
Justin: well...I guess someone needs to help make sure your cooking is improving, right?
Justin: what about the mac'n'cheese?
Snow: are you really worried about my mac'n'cheese right now?
Snow learned this move from Vlad. And Justin, that is entirely too many rings you are wearing.
Note the wedding ring still in place on his other hand.
BC: So, Justin. About that wife and family you have next door?
Justin: what?
Snow: shut up, do you want me to get pregnant or not?
BC: I do want you to get pregnant. Thanks to your insistence on picking a happily married family man as your first donor, we're like five or six days into this challenge. Did you know most matriarchs in this challenge are pregnant on the first day?
Snow: I'm not most matriarchs. I need some QUALITY sperm.
Justin: what?
Snow: never mind. Wanna see me naked?
Justin: YES. Do you have, you know...protection?
Snow: there's really no need.
Justin, clearly thinking with his dick and not his brain: if you say so!
I wasn't going to pregnancy test because I like the challenge it adds to have to wait and guess, but Snow really was SO slow at starting this challenge that I couldn't resist. Just for the first baby, I promise!
Snow: I'm knocked up. Happy?
BC: extremely.
Snow is actually pretty happy too. She wants a big family after all, even if she perhaps didn't plan to have it this way, exactly.
Snow's first activity after getting pregnant is to celebrate with a rabbit hole boat ride to the gorgeous lighthouse, where she mainly indulges in some collecting.
She also spots a griller in the wild, though; these are Sims who appear on community lots and grill something that your Sim can eat for free, and who are therefore highly valuable in challenges when you are very strapped for cash.
Back home, fall has brought a pile of leaves to Snow's yard. They have green stink fumes and flies all through them, which is disgusting, so she set it on fire. While it was fun to play with (and she needs fun, having no TV), this did not a) burn the leaves to ash (they just eventually stopped being on fire and remained un-charred) or b) bother the flies or remove the stench. So we are just stuck with this until winter, apparently? Is this feature working as intended?
In a quickly aborted effort to start earning a regular income, Snow went to the library in Windenberg to start writing a book. However, pregnancy means being starving and needing to pee all the time...
So I had to send her over to the cafe for chocolate croissants pretty quickly.
She was DELIGHTED to meet another pregnant woman while there. This is Haley Henricks, who is fortunate enough not to be a single mother. She is older than Snow; this is her third baby. Snow immediately sets about making friends, dreaming of Mums and Bubs coffee groups and toddler play dates.
However, Haley then makes the grave mistake of introducing Snow to her oldest son, Ronan. Haley's current baby must be an oopsie, or else Ronan was a teen pregnancy, because he's a fresh-faced, brand new, cute as a button young adult, and Snow's baby-addled mind immediately starts scheming. What better father to her next baby than the son of her friend, someone she hopes will coach her through the ups and downs of new motherhood? She, wisely, does not ask Haley her thoughts of this plan.
But Ronan she starts whispering sweet nothings to, once Haley pops to the bathroom.
Snow: you know, don't tell your Mum, but you're rather gorgeous.
Ronan, blushing: wow...thanks...um, aren't you having a baby soon?
Snow: yes, what's your point?
Snow: you're young, and in an impressionable developmental phase in terms of your sexual preferences. Have you considered developing a fetish for pregnant women?
Ronan: oh my.
Random child: what the actual fuck.
BC: at least he's not married, I guess.
On her way out of the cafe Snow also briefly meets Don Lotharia. Such an infamous Sim...would it be a waste not to have him play donor in a 100 Baby Challenge? I'll have to think on that.
Back home, and Snow is not finding balancing pregnancy and looking for future baby daddies very easy.
Snow: these dumplings are just as bad as my mac'n'cheese :(
We can't even blame Vlad for this. If it's difficult now for Snow, imagine what it'll be like once the babies start coming?
Regardless, it's Harvestfest, and Snow is looking at spending her first major holiday alone. After some consideration, she phones Ronan to see if he's free to spend the day with her, and he agrees to come over to keep her company.
First, though, she offers her gnome some pie, and he retaliates by breaking her sink.
Ronan: hey Snow, I'm here!
Snow: come on in, I'm just in the bathroom.
Ronan: oh my goodness! You're peeing! Ohmygodsosorrysoembarrassing
Snow: yeah, I meant come into the house, not all the way in here. Not so bright, is he? At least he's handsome, I suppose.
But he bought her a rose! There you go Snow, who said a matriarch couldn't have a little romance in their life.
Ronan: I think I feel that fetish you mentioned coming on.
Snow: oh good, let's help it along, shall we?
Gnome: you think you can give me pie, bitch? PIE? I'm going to judge every man you bring into that hussy bed of yours, and possibly also murder them.
Snow: whatever, you ungrateful gnomey bastard. Just let me get their sperm first.
Ronan, obviously, is merely getting a taste of what's to come at this point, as Snow is pregnant with Justin's child. But a little fun and future investment never hurts, right? Even if your Harvestfest gnomes spontaneously teleport to surround your bed and the location of many past, present, and future indiscretions, watching and judging your every move. Eurgh.
Speaking of Justin...
Justin: Snow, are you there? I didn't want you to be alone on Harvestfest.
Snow, in bed with Ronan: UM. Just a second?!
Justin: you're...pregnant? Is it mine?
Snow: who else's would it be? What kind of slut do you take me for?
Ronan, upstairs: I wonder who she's talking to.
Justin: sorry, sorry. Of course. It's just...I thought you used...you know?
Snow: That's definitely not what I said. But if it makes you feel better, it..failed? It definitely wasn't on purpose for some weird as fuck challenge the BC insists I participate in.
Justin: what?
Snow: nothing. Anyway, I'm okay, Justin. You should go back to your family.
Shortly after both Justin and Ronan have gone home...
Snow: I am less okay than I thought.
The aim for this challenge is going to be to have all births happen at the hospital, although I have had this glitch out on me before so I'm not committing myself to it too strongly. Snow goes alone, not phoning Justin, as it's still Harvestfest night and he's back with his family.
And after the doctor removes her heart not once but twice, in a rather fitting allegory to the movie of her namesake where the Evil Queen planned to cut out Snow White's heart, Snow welcomes her first child into the world. Meet Simba White!
Simba is, of course, the main character in The Lion King, my favourite Disney movie as a child. Our Simba is a boy, but because babies in the Sims 4 are barely objects and have no personality, we know nothing else about him yet.
Still, we're FINALLY underway!
Welcome to the madhouse, Simba. One baby down, 99 to go...

She is a modern take on Disney's Snow White, the first Disney Princess and star of the first feature-length animated film ever. Our Snow White is Family-Oriented, Childish, and a Geek, and - unsurprisingly - wants a Big Happy Family.

Snow: who else's would it be? What kind of slut do you take me for?
Ronan, upstairs: I wonder who she's talking to.
Justin: sorry, sorry. Of course. It's just...I thought you used...you know?
Snow: That's definitely not what I said. But if it makes you feel better, it..failed? It definitely wasn't on purpose for some weird as fuck challenge the BC insists I participate in.
Justin: what?
Snow: nothing. Anyway, I'm okay, Justin. You should go back to your family.
Shortly after both Justin and Ronan have gone home...
Snow: I am less okay than I thought.
The aim for this challenge is going to be to have all births happen at the hospital, although I have had this glitch out on me before so I'm not committing myself to it too strongly. Snow goes alone, not phoning Justin, as it's still Harvestfest night and he's back with his family.
And after the doctor removes her heart not once but twice, in a rather fitting allegory to the movie of her namesake where the Evil Queen planned to cut out Snow White's heart, Snow welcomes her first child into the world. Meet Simba White!
Simba is, of course, the main character in The Lion King, my favourite Disney movie as a child. Our Simba is a boy, but because babies in the Sims 4 are barely objects and have no personality, we know nothing else about him yet.
Still, we're FINALLY underway!
Welcome to the madhouse, Simba. One baby down, 99 to go...
