Dustin Levin's 100 Infants

Just a place to dump screenshots from my 100 infant journey in the sim 4

Welcome! You have discovered the side blog of @itspupppycat!

As the name suggests, this is where I dump my favorite screenshots of my 100 infant challenge. Because I am who I am there will probably be a lot of text post talking about these sims. My hope is for this to be a very informal thing where I just post and I don’t think too much. Though that’s easier said than done cause it’s taken me months just to get this first post DRAFTED.

Founder Info: my founder is a transman who has opted to put off bottom surgery and see just how many offspring he can bring into the world (bottom surgery can wait until he is an elder). Rules. I decided to go with a transman because I've already tried this with a cis woman so I wanted to go a different route. I made it to 33 offspring between two matriarchs, there were a lot of twins.

Offspring in order of birth. I'll update this with each new offspring and their donor.

I went ahead and fixed my mccc setting for offspring, I noticed that I didn’t have the parents skin tone set to true so it explains why all of Dustin’s children looked pale despite him being a darker brown skin tone. So I’ve adjusted all the offspring to better reflect what I think the game would have done with the setting on. I also made some tweaks to Dustin’s face and changed some of his skin details. He used to have those liver spots and now he has moles, I also changed one of his traits I originally had him as childish but I was finding that trait more annoying than useful so he is self assured now and I tried to make changes to his clothes and tattoos to better reflect that he is no longer childish.

I was worried about making these changes cause I think it’s pretty noticeable but I think it’s worth it for my sims to better reflect how I see them or rather how I want to see them.

Wow has it really been a year since I looked at this save, that’s so crazy to me.

I’m thinking I want to play with the save again and making a modification to how I play. The rules state that the matriarch/patriarch are to raise their offspring with no help from the donors but I saw someone else explain why they ignore that rule and it made sense to me so I’ve decided to adopt the same approach. The donors still can’t contribute financially though they are not restricted from buying things from yard sales and the like but they are allowed to come over to bond with their child, help with homework, or even comfort them. I feel like if they come over uninvited they clearly want to be present in their child’s life so who am I stop them.

I’m also going to remodel the house/lot to make room for a business and a garden. Isabella has aged up to a young adult and rather than kick her out right away I’m going to utilize her presence to help build up the family funds (she can save to move out) so that Dustin can continue to focus on the littlest ones.

I keep forgetting that small businesses exist in the sims 4 like I rarely ever have my sims open one or even visit one. I haven’t even had a sim buy an existing venue and turn it into a small business. I figured since Dustin can’t work a rabbit hole job this is the exact situation for a small business plus he already sells baked goods to earn money.

If I can really motivate myself I might take a family photo and use that to update on what’s happening. I also really want to make a banner featuring the current household (the way I see on cowplant-snacks posts for their rotational gameplay) and I need an image for that. I’ve wanted to make banners for my gameplay posts for a while but I just haven’t gotten it together to actually make something.

After a quick roll back of the save, these two made a baby as quick as they had they ruined their relationship the time before.

Donor number 5 secured: Xochitl Luna

Next up I have my eyes on Celeste Michaelson followed by her husband cause women are always first.

These two aged up together. I kept the random hair color Doli Jr aged up with.

Their outside to get away from the crying newborn object known as Doli Jr.

I just think he is the cutest thing. He did age up with the hearing aid and glasses so I left them.

[100infantdump]

Because I had to roll the save back because JJ was being difficult about learning to crawl, Isabella had two very different randomized outfits but the scar of her face remained in both. Now I think she should have a scar on her face canonically.

They aged up on the same day.

He was so not interested in learning to crawl he would just go to sleep.

Dustin makes his simoleons selling baked goods. He usually just opens shop in front of his home but he needed a change of scenery. I'm pretty sure Jay Jr is near by since Dustin has to care for all of his children with no outside childcare help.

All they do in this house is grind but at least they do it as a family.

Sometimes you end up napping on the floor because dad is pregnant again and too overwhelmed to get you in bed.

I definitely wasn't taking enough screenshots to give an accurate look at how things were early on. It was just a lot of grinding with an infant until there was a recent update to the rules of the challenge making the milestones more of a bonus to age up the infant early but not a requirement to age them up at all. That will be a game changer going forward because I was struggling with Jay Jr to get his last milestone to age up.

Since Dustin is currently living in micro home (the lot benefits are so worth the cramped space for a growing family) it was important he started making space outside that the offspring can sleep in when they are children and teens.

Dustin lives in San Sequoia and the plan is to have an offspring with all eligible young adults and adults. I wasn't aware Bernice was already pregnant.
