Today I started a new Boolprop Sims challenge.
You have bounced around, between Foster Care and Children's homes, for the whole of your life.
You never knew your parents, as they abandoned you at birth, and you have never known why.
Your most treasured possession is a teddy bear that you have had and kept since you was a baby.
Becoming an adult you are thrown out into the world, with a small amount of money, to fend for yourself.
On coming of age, you inherit a book, which was left to you by your Mother.
A diary that she kept updated since she was a child, up until the day she gave you up.
Her diary answered a lot of the questions that have troubled you all your life.
After reading your Mother's Diary, you feel inspired to start writing a diary of your own, to pass onto your children.
This starts a "family tradition" that is passed down the generation along with The Teddy Bear and The Dairy book.
- Create a young adult male or female sim in CAS, or use a fresh copy of an existing sim - they must have no skills!!
- Put them onto any lot, any size in any world. Build them a home with their starting cash.
- On entering the lot, a Teddy Bear and Book must be added to your sims inventory. Both the Book and Teddy bear must be kept and passed on to each future generation.
Your Goals
Your Challenge ....
- Keep a Sim' Diary ... Your challenge updates should be written up in diary format.
The Game Challenge .....
- As a Family (Generation Heirs only) ... Write a set amount of (diaries) Books, in as few generations as possible. It is advisable to number the books, rather than name them, to help you keep count.
---SIMS 2 = 100 books
---SIMS 3 = 150 books
---SIMS 4 = 200 books
- Each generation heir must hold down outside employment as well as writing Diaries (books).

- The family home must have a library. One room of wall to wall bookcases where all of the family diaries (books) are kept.

Rules
- No cheating
- No mods, only to fix glitches and bad game behaviour!
- This challenge is to be played on a normal lifespan.
- Life extenders (including supernatural occults) can be used, but only by the generation heir.
- The number of children born in each generation, increases by one for each new generation. (Generation 1 = 1 child - Gen 2 = 2 children - Gen 3 = 3 children ect)
- A naming theme is to be followed = D E A R D I A R Y. (Gen 1 = D - Gen 2 = E - Gen 3 = A ect)
- No actively avoiding or putting off having children to get a mass of books produced!!!
- All traits are to be randomly rolled.
- The last countable child of each generation becomes the next generation heir.
- Each countable child must reach Young Adult age. (Adult for TS2 players without Uni)
- All of the spare children must be kicked out of the family home when they become young adults.
- If any of the countable children die before reaching young adult, they have to be replaced.
- Multiple births are countable - but they will lose you points!!
- The current generation finishes and the new generation starts the minute your next gen heir (the last countable child) becomes a young adult.
- On becoming a young adult, the new heir should be given The Teddy Bear and The Diary book
- The new heir must evict all family members from the family home on day one of their reign.
- Any Adopted / plant / Alien / cloned children born into the household are not countable children.
