Re: 12th Birthday Party - BABY BOOM CHALLENGE
At the same point, I feel we should avoid OVER-complicating this, seeing as we're already not allowed to use fruit to determine gender, and Julie said cheesecake was allowed for the Sims 2 players.
I've personally avoided the genie wish for a large family and the procreation elixir to stick to the "spirit" of the challenge, but I see nothing wrong with TV or music, especially because it would take a lot of micromanaging to ensure a Sim didn't have those things set already. Like for example I keep my in-game sounds off and I have a mod that removes the sound waves and musical notes (along with a lot of other things) from showing on stereos.
That would be a lot of work constantly checking to see if the stereo was on and what it was turned to. Not to mention stopping them from autonomously watching TV?
That's just my thoughts on it though.

Re: 12th Birthday Party - BABY BOOM CHALLENGE
It would be nice to have a kind of ruling on the music/tv thing. I haven't been using it, but I wanted to.
Personally, there doesn't seem to be any harm in it. You can't influence gender and while you may early on get a little advantage by more buck for your bang(tee hee), you still have to care for them all at once and later on it may prove problematic if you just keep getting one gender or a 2-1 gender ratio. Maybe there could be a mini-challenge or something that encourages simmers to have one child at time or to try and do things without influence of kids music/tv. Something like a One Step at a Time mini-challenge. Where it isn't a requirement, but you get bragging rights?
Also I really need to catch up to everyone! I don't even have one chapter yet!

Re: 12th Birthday Party - BABY BOOM CHALLENGE
I've used the radio.. the dad in my game was not created by me, and he is a kids' music lover with the party animal trait...so he's forever flipping on the radio to dance to kids bop. LOL It would be hard to avoid. But I'm not extending household size, so I don't feel guilty either, since it's not like I could keep twinning forever.

Re: 12th Birthday Party - BABY BOOM CHALLENGE
I've caught up on everyone's now! Half of you are all kinds of crazy with all those toddlers
So many good babies and progress. I have to do work but I really want to play with my Boomers But all of your Sims 3 graphics and play is making me want to play TS3 instead of 4. 3 sims are so much prettier.

Re: 12th Birthday Party - BABY BOOM CHALLENGE
Yessss! Hollywood is in the challenge ring now! Let's kick some challenge butt!
I got two more chapters!
07 - Collector of Dangerous Noodles
08 - The Daily Routine Map
I've really been ignoring a lot of my stories in favor of this challenge (hence why these are coming so quickly)! I'm hoping to get in and knock this challenge out of the bag. It'll be my first Boolprop challenge completed!

Re: 12th Birthday Party - BABY BOOM CHALLENGE
Took a day off yesterday as I resubbed for Final Fantasy 14 again. It was horrible, if you recall (I'm sure I posted it somewhere), I busted my mouse wheel and had to wait for money to fall from the sky to replace it. I've been using a cheap emergency mouse that I located in some darkened corner of abandoned computer parts for the past week (and it barely works in Sims). My new one will be here tomorrow (Saturday), so today I'm catching up on reading and maybe loading up my game for an update.
I just love that we all copied Livvie's intro.
