I put all the children/teens in a club and give it activities like do homework, clean, repair items. Then you can just keep the club going 24/7 to make them autonomously do homework, plus take advantage of club perks

[@filmicplays7219]

I do the same thing! And then have mom be club leader and do the aspiration for points 😂

[@MathPatath]

You should add sleeping and playing as an activity. With 6 kids you gain at least two perks a day

[@complainer406]

@@MathPatath Thing is they autonomously do the club activities and although it gets lots of points I don't want to add stuff that they can just keep repeating because it keeps them from doing homework. They get plenty of points anyway from homework/cleaning.

@auvelia It's a gameplay challenge, anyone can play with whatever rules they want. Plus, I don't even see that rule listed on either of the first two links that come up when I google sims 4 100 baby challenge rules

[@lailantie707]

I keep one grownup kid as a helper and I have two clubs, one lead by the matriarch, the other by the helper kid, trying to capture all living kids up to seniors and they meet each Saturday and Sunday. The club for the younger ones does homework, swimming, hugging, playing and eating (something along those lines), the club for the older ones does swimming, playing chess, hugging and whatever comes to my mind. I enjoy this a lot, those family meetings.

Some food tips: If you have Seasons, make “Grand Meal” this has *16* servings, but can give your sim a Dazed mood let “Food Coma” If you have Realm of Magic, get a Cauldron, if you make Mac’n’Cheese, or Chili, there will be 16 servings, and it will stay fresh in the Cauldron for days at a time.

[@leah5580]

Other tips: Give everybody ear buds, have those things running constantly. The Dance Machine trait is great for your matriarch because she can disco nap instead of sleeping, gaining energy quickly. If you don't use a tiny home, take selfies with your baby daddy targets. Two full rounds of 5 photos with a sim brings you to good friend status. Slides increase movement skill quickly. Blarffy and the other over-sized stuffed animals increase communication skill quickly. Watching television increases imagination skill quickly. Flash cards gets thinking up pretty quickly. Potty training a toddler, unless they're independent, increases their potty skill a little bit faster.

[@river.ate.your.geese.]

The only problem with watching TV is that you need to get someone to turn on the TV for toddlers bc they can't. That can be annoying because at least my Sims turn off the TV when they're not watching and then the toddler can't watch

I only have the basegame, but I have also have some advice for anyone who wants to try this challenge. 1- play in a house with just the ground floor, it's much easier to find everyone. 2- put the toddler potty in their bedroom, or else your Sims will get uncomfortable from the surroundings and won't shower if the toddler is also using the potty there 3- make the matriarch's bedroom near the bathroom and the babies 4- if you have no gardening skill yet go to willow creek and find lilies. They are 10 simoleons more valuable than roses in the basegame 5- NEVER make your Sims take naps. Make them sleep. Never nap. The sleep need goes up much slower when they nap, so naps are forbidden (unless the sim is lazy and you want them in a good mood or you have the pack disco nap comes with) 6- if your programming skill is high enough mod the games. If Sims play modded games they get a happy moodlet, but only if they complete the interaction 7- make your children go fishing. They can catch fish and valuable objects while gaining th mental skill and getting their fun up. Plus if you have fish the dishes that require fish will get cheaper. If you have bass, a party size of blackened bass costs 5 simoleons. If you also have vegetables, a party size of fish tacos only costs 2 simoleons. When you have fish you can also make poke bowl, which is free I will edit if I remember more

[@auntyjulez9819]

OK, you've inspired me to give this a go again! (My first attempt was on my old computer and I lost the save.) My advice is to have the toddlers watch other sims. Their thinking skill goes up so fast. I have them watch other sims that are skill building (like knitting or painting) or even when they are eating or watching tv. Doesn't matter what your sim is doing while they watch. They toddlers can even watch each other! The only thing is you need to pause the game and stack up the interactions. Totally worth it. And this will sound a bit crazy, but I have my matriarch do the grilled cheese aspiration. She can then pull grilled cheese sandwiches out of thin air to give to toddlers. I also have her aspiration hop to rack up as many aspiration points as possible. Right now I they are living in a tiny home and I have the Free Love NAP enacted. She's aspiration hopping between grilled cheese, serial romantic, and nerd brain. I'm having her earn money by recording herself knitting and uploading the videos. I wanted to do something different to earn money. Oh, and if you put food in your toddler's inventory while they are sleeping and tell them to eat it when they wake up they will stay in bed and eat.

[@digthewarmth]

I had no idea there could be multiple matriarchs in this challenge. Playing it over months with multiple generations does sound more fun than potion-of-youth'ing a single matriarch and just cranking out 100 kids.

[@HereIAm247]

I actually think 'anti ageing' is against the challenge rules. :) But it is possible with one matriarch if you want to - you just have to be very strategic, and keep her pregnant at all times.

[@Akina_411]

Im in the 70s in my baby challenge still with my first mom, just because she gets pregnant at almost every birthday. I typically always have 2 teens, 2 kids, and 2 toddlers cause she keeps having twins. So by the time the teens age up and move out, she has her next set of twins and has 1 more spot in the household to get pregnant again. And by that time, my kids turned to teens so the cycle continues. 😁😁

[@justareadingravenclaw4682]

I recently started the challenge, I think I’m currently at nine children and it’s a lot of fun. I started to assign most chores to the teenagers, I tend to give them the cooking skill and I let them prepare a lot of meals. I also unlock the doors to the Baby dungeon for them, so they can take care of the baby’s while my matriarch is doing other things. The children usually clean up puddles and potties in their free time.

[@emiliadelf2791]

I just started the 100 baby challenge. It's not going so well. I'm happy that I get some tips and tricks from one of the best simers on youtube!♥️😊😀

[@roxydots5153]

Food- I always have moms or dad's into gardening and give the todds the harvestables to eat. They get a positive buff from eating good food and prevents them from getting overweight when aging to kids. The monster doesn't affect them either if they sleep in tents,even if they are inside the house. I made one patriarch level 10 in painting and started a painting club. He sold all the paintings the club members did in the gatherings without the investment and became a millionaire. I am not sure if that goes against the rules, though. They also were romantic in the club, so he ended up having babies with every member.

[@KnittingandBaking]

Yessss on using Tiny Living! That's the only sane way to raise toddlers.

[@maroonggirl]

Sometimes I forget to take the present pile away after Winterfest and just let my sims keep adding and opening presents all year. It doesn't cost anything to add presents and you can get really great things from it so why not? I also keep the cheap Seasons rug near my front door because it counts as decoration for Harvestfest and Winterfest. Even if the swatch doesn't match the season, it still counts. I'm sorry sometimes I just can't be arsed to decorate the whole house. If I've got 7 babies to raise, the best I can do is change the rug swatch and call it a success.

Another option for food is to invest in one of the small round party tables. For 250 simolians, you can “serve all” and get 8 servings each of 5 different meals. This is great when you’re on a rotation where the house is full of toddlers.

[@amyterry5428]

I’ve just started this challenge and this was so helpful, thank you! One thing I’ve found when it comes to toddler skills is that Blarfy, the giant teddy bear, is so OP 😂 I just get my toddlers to babble at it a few times and they get to level 3 communication in like two sim hours!

My first tip get the money tree! Then u NEVER need to worry about money for generations . Second tip kids club they can get a boost for both skills and homework

[@lailantie707]

Yes I always do this. My first 5000 aspiration points go into a money tree and then I have them level the gardening skill. I hit the 9.99 billion coins money cap pretty soon.

[@cass01993]

Gardening is also a good money maker that works quickly in base game. Oh and apparently toddlers can walk through doggie doors so you can have them going from your baby room to your toddler room for easy escape. Or use them for a toddler only play area

[@herc3352]

I got these tips from lilsimsie, but if you use blarfy or any of the stuffed animals to get their communication skill up it goes up at supersonic speed. Another tip from simsie I got was using the toddler slide, if you have toddler stuff. It gets their movement skill up very fast aswell.

But isn't that aspiration kinda hard to complete? I tried it and I couldn't because of that. It was also glitchy but maybe it was just in my game

[@ninimeggie4771]

@@river.ate.your.geese. the only glitch I've ever had is with the marriage part. The kid had to still be part of the household in certain saves for it to count. You need to have a kid get married so usually my first kid gets married. You also need 4 grandkids so I tend to have my first few kids have a kid or two each before moving out because early on I normally still have the space for that. To do it faster you can have the kid move out and adopt 4 kids and it will register it even if they aren't in the household. If you have MC command center it tends not to register the marriages from that but will register the kids so in some games I get an early kid married and let MCC decide on grandkids.

[@river.ate.your.geese.]

@@ninimeggie4771 thanks, that was also my problem. I had MC command center and I moved my first kid out before getting her married! Thanks for your advice

I find fertile a bad one to get. Only getting one kid at a time means it's so much easier to handle the kids, you can focus one at a time, and your matriarch can almost always get pregnant meaning they never age! My Sim has 41 kids and is still right at the end of young adult!

[@stephaniefoster2899]

I completely agree with you on this one! When I first started the challenge, I focused on having multiple births as much as possible--I didn't know about not aging while pregnant. Once I found out that tidbit, my strategy changed to one baby at a time. Now, my routine is to keep my new adults in the house "paying rent" through jobs or taking care of the toddler(s). When momma is about to pop, she calls the next baby daddy to come over, invites him to stay the night, and the romancing process begins. As soon as baby is born, the oldest adult moves out and sexy time begins! Mom #1 (as many babies as possible) ended up with 23 kids before she aged out, & mom #2 (1 baby at a time) has 30 with 8-10 days of baby making time left on her clock!

[@ninimeggie4771]

[@paigenotmylastname4453]

MORE TIPS POST COTTAGE-LIVING: 1) Prioritize getting the Never Weary trait first! It's 10k aspiration points, but that's not that hard to achieve if you switch aspirations for whatever task you're doing. Then the steel bladder trait. My matriarch has made it past 50 babies as just a young adult because I prioritized getting these two traits, which gave her a ton of free time to line up donors and care for the kids. 2) I think gardening is one of the easiest ways to make a lot of money in the challenge. If you buy a few rare seed packets you'll get very expensive produce like dragon fruit that can end up netting you thousands a day from just a few plants. With the grocery stores in Cottage Living, you don't even have to level up to purchase the seed packets anymore, making this an even better way to get rich quick. 3) I think it's worth painting a lot while maintaining your garden if you have Get Famous because that increases your fame, which eventually gives you the ability to "beguile" sims, which means you are only ever a 2-3 interactions from a first kiss and try for baby. 4) Always have a bunch of romantic prospects lined up. Do dates at your own home so that you can continue having your kids build skills and take care of themselves while you're out. You can still do something special like fix a few drinks or cook a nice meal, even if you don't go to other venues. When your matriarch is in her third trimester and likely to give birth in the middle of the night when you can't invite a donor over, invite the donor over earlier in the day and then ask them to spend the night so you can wake them up for a try for baby interaction even in the wee hours. 5) The baby dungeon doesn't have to be awful! I just make a nursery off of my matriarch's bedroom and lock the door to the rest of the family. No need to make it weird lol. 6) If you play in a multi-story home, make sure the matriarch's bedroom, nursery, and toddler room are all on the ground floor. I like second stories to basically just be places for the kids to sleep. I also like to add a hallway around the staircase that has a door to it, that way, I can lock the door to my toddlers and they don't waste time going up and down the stairs at a snail's pace. A room that's dedicated to just skill building items is often worthwhile to add to larger homes too, but don't use mansions even if you can afford it. Sims move slowly and it really slows down game play in a 4-story mansion. 7) If you really want to use as few matriarchs as possible, take it one baby at a time. Only move out one young adult at a time even if you have multiple in the house to avoid twins. You can keep your Sim constantly pregnant with a little time management if you're not going in spurts of 2-3 babies. Twins can really make gameplay difficult, but lots of people aim for frustrating game play when they take on this challenge. Also, if I have a child whose traits compliment the household, like neat, outdoorsy (if you're using gardening for income), family oriented, then I'll keep them in the household for months at a time helping around the house and move out their younger siblings with annoying traits like hates kids or slob ahead of them. 8) Turn off aging for unplayed Sims and then mark your kids unplayed households after moving them out of the house! I hate when my matriarch and the whole family is sad about the death of her kids, and I personally find it annoying when my matriarch's kids are several life stages older than her. The game continues to generate new ugly townies, so IDK why anyone plays with aging on.

knitting carries over from child to teen and can be started immediately without maxing out base skills (and also increases the child's motor skills), but so can vampire lore and bowling (and pet training but might be irrelevant since there will be no room for dogs). VL is able to be learned the quickest.

[@wheres.fluffy]

The number one easiest skill for teenagers is the basketball hoop. If you "dream big" three times, their fitness skill level is at three. I always do this as soon as they age up from kids so that they are ready for school "promotion"! Also, in case anyone doesn't know, to raise thinking skills in toddlerinos, just have them "watch" other sims. Nothing raises their thinking skill faster and saves so much time!

If you make on of the lot traits “Needs TLC” at first, you can get handiness up to 4 faster. Then you can upgrade the drawing tablet to paint faster, and if you sell the paintings from the wall rather than from your inventory, you’ll gain fame. It’s also important to work on the world famous celebrity aspiration if you play this way so that you don’t lose fame. Then you can choose the instant BFF perk so that you can do a romantic BFF introduction, first kiss, try for baby, and move on with your life. Also, earbuds in general are super helpful because they’ll keep your sims’ fun up while painting, writing, doing homework/projects, etc.

*If you can fit it somewhere in the house (in the toddler dungeon for example) or right outside, the toddler slide gets their movement skill up to level 3 in about 5 slides, no joke its op and I love it *when giving your kids skills, pick things that are easy to queue up many times, like monkey bars or drawing *make your teens cook as many garden salads as possible - its food mom didn't have to cook, they can't burn the house down, gives them a skill for school *if you're going to have a dollhouse, put it in a room thats locked for everyone but toddlers, otherwise your sims will cancel their tasks to autonomously play dolls all the time *always have your mom's bedroom near babies, so she can solve their needs quickly and then go back to doing important things like sleep *when you've built up money, items like the game consoles are great for skill building in multiple kids at once *always have the kids experiment table outside, it will explode into flames at some point, I guarantee it *if you have dine out, the heating lamps are a great way to keep your kids from freezing to death while doing activities outside (especially if they're living outside because you're trying to milk the microhome benefits while playing a full household) *toddlers can walk through large dog doors, but older sims can't... I'm not telling you to treat your toddlers like dogs, I'm just stating a fact

[@szokeszasza]

Some other helpful tips: 1. You can feed your toddlers any harvestable, which is way quicker than giving them plates of food. 2. Also it is important to remember, that you can potty train them even if they don't need to go potty... I always do a potty training right after they age up, so they get a quick start on it. 3. You can use the digitalistic sketchpad to paint, and if you have level 4 handiness skill you can upgrade it. It is much quicker, than using an easel, and you can queue up the interactions, so you can make 6-7 paintings in no time for really quick money :) 4. I always do some upgrades on plumbing early on. Auto soap dispenser on sinks, and bidet on toilets gives your sims a happy moodlet, which can cover up some bad ones. 5. Using moodlets to boost a skill gain is very helpful. Especially for toddlers. Make them happy for a boost in communication and thinking (feed them harvestables, or put the laser light show in their room and turn it on for instant happiness :) ), energized for movement (get exited on present pile from Seasons, or 'Take clothes off'), and playful for imagination (I didn't find an instant way for this... sometimes making silly face works).

My tip (even though I only have 26 kids so far lol) is to pick writing as the matriarch’s way of earning money. It only takes 4 hours to write a book, so you can do it while your kids are at school and your toddlers are skill building. Esp. in the early days when you don’t have many kids, you can crank out a few books and have a reliable income source. Plus, the better you get, the more you earn - I’ve had individual books earn me 600 simoleons a day for weeks.

My SIMS won’t grab leftovers anymore unless I tell them to do it. They always make something new. The food also doesn’t go bad in the fridge anymore. This has been going on for a few months. Anyone else?

You have me almost tempted to do this, provided I can build a tiny home I feel is acceptable (where no one can interrupt mom when woohoo-ing, which was one of the biggest problem I saw in your early playthrough). Great tips!

[@ninimeggie4771]

Outdoor woohoo spots (bush, rocketship, hot tub) or shower or closet woohoo make it easier to not be interrupted

I tried the 100 baby challenge but I couldnt finish it its not good for my anxiety lol Also Taylor your videos are amazing and your voice is so relaxing.

[@sleepy_time2824]

Yeah a guide am so bad at this challenge but how do you keep yourself from being board

[@MathPatath]

If you have multiple packs, i suggest a 10 kids theme kind of play. With 10 generations with each 10 baby’s. And add extra rules and restrictions per generation. Like no painting, live in an apartment that needs tlc, live off the grid only make money scuba diving, against the official rules but only earn money acting, live at a store only sell made items, vampire generation, witches generation, only musical instruments allowed, earn all scout badges.

[@sleepy_time2824]

@@MathPatath thank you for the advice

[@marywells71]

What I've been doing to stop myself from getting bored is customising. I customise the children and as they all have different fathers each one looks different and can have a different style. I also recommend moving lots and building up a house (slightly bigger each time) and then you have something to work towards but you can but off moving if you have lots of stressful toddlers. Have a good day! 😁

[@localomnivore4877]

I always do the toddlers skills in this order: thinking, potty, imagination and movement. They tend to develop communication the fastest, and so by the time I'm done with the other skills, they've basically mastered them all.

[@simmerluna]

the pet training skill also ages from kid to teen! i alwasy have a dog in my household, and have the kids train it, and the teens go for walks with it!

[@dianacardoso4885]

I know it would give a ton of extra work but if you max a child's skill you can start getting teen's skills For example: the motor skill when maxed out the child can start getting the sports skill, which is pretty good (I'll also say the other things Creative: piano/violin/guitar and I thing painting as well Mental: logic/gaming Social: charisma So, specially for the child that will become the heir to the challenge, I recommend you to max the social and creative skills, as charisma can help them get baby daddy's faster, and being able to paint is almost a must in this challenge)

[@briannawilson1946]

[@dianacardoso4885]

Sims 4 money tip!! (But I think you need the eco living pack) Buy those big trash things that come with that pack (I forgot their name in English😅) and a sink Drink a glass of water and then put it in the trash With that done, you can search for stuff or even food in the trash thing When it's empty, just drink another glass of water and put it in the trash and it makes it full enough for you to search for stuff again

[@SylviaFey]

I needed this SOOOOO much! Thank you, for real. I'm trying to get back into doing the challenge, still have my save for it and all that. This is going to help me so much... I already lost once, I refuse to lose again.

[@ninimeggie4771]

Children can also learn Vampire lore as well as knitting. So if you have them read the books they can learn that as well.

[@user-pw6ol5ck1p]

I had to learn most of these lessons along the way. The first matriarch was rough. I was new to Sims and playing on Console. 2 of my toddlers got taken away a couple of times from hunger after I left to have another baby. I had to make sure I didn’t leave any teenagers at home. If I did when I came back the child’s needs would be so in the red they almost immediately got taken away

[@PridetakerDC]

Another good food tip! You can put garden food (carrots, strawberries, tomatoes, etc.) in your toddlers inventory to eat! It won't spoil, and can stack to a large number, so you can grow a lot of one item, stack it in the toddler's inventory, and then when the toddler ages up, you just move the stack to the new toddlers inventory!

Reward traits... If you have Seasons, you can make a holiday every day, each tradition done is 100 points earned. You can set 5 traditions for each holiday, that's 500 points per sim, per day if they get the traditions done.

[@mowana1232]

I think the best tip is at the end "not to rush too much". I have tried this challenge a few times and have always given up because it became boring and repetitive. I will try it again and take my time. Even if I give up after the eleventh baby again, it's going to be a more fun experience until then.

[@river.ate.your.geese.]

Maybe to avoid getting bored you could move around the worlds, complete new aspirations, make your matriarch start earning money in a completely different way, give yourself restrictions, make them lose all their money... The list is endless! When you're bored just ask yourself: "what's the worst thing that could happen to my Sims now?" Then do it! 😈😈😈

[@mamaof3kids4keets28]

One thing I do is start a runaway teen challenge or wonder child challenge, and then start a new save using that Sim as my matriarch for the 100 baby. I really only play one file at a time, so it works for me.

[@river.ate.your.geese.]

Tip: If you are a celebrity, you can use a option to make your fans send you letters and if you are lucky and that you pick up the letters from the mailbox you might get a pie that never spoils Tip n.2 Dont make cakes pie or anything sugary if you have toddlers, een though it give lot of food they just get the angry moodlet and it doesnt feed them that well

[@kristofkodok]

I'd like to correct the part where you said that knitting is the only skill they can learn as a child that isn't base game. I don't have nifty knitting and from Spa day they can earn the wellness skill too.,

[@BeeDouglas]

If you've got luxury party stuff or my wedding stories you can use a banquet table to feed the kids, it requires zero cooking you can just fill the table with food instantly

[@rms7828]

A tip that I have is to save up for unbreakable appliances

[@simsspeler1757]

Children can learn a few other adult skills. They can learn bowling and vampire lore right of the start. You can unlock certain others by maxing the child skill. For example a maxed out creativity skill will allow your child to learn the piano and violin skill.

[@elvirick1]

I like to buy seeds and either plant them or directly open them and put them in the toddlers inventory! I find it way easier to just wake them up in the middle of the night when they are hungry, have them eat a couple of grapes or whatever and get them to sleep right away, is faster and easier! 😊❤

[@ThePurpleParis]

One thing I’ve learned is that having one child at a time in this challenge can make it so that the Matriarch is pregnant ALL the time (because until the next child is born, your teens will have time to grow up and move out, so you always have extra space in your household), so you can actually finish the challenge with just one Matriarch.

[@Daiska_Plays]

Even though this is an older video, and before infants, still really good tips. I'll add one: Dance Machine trait for matriarch. A Disco nap is 2 sim hours and gives half a bar of energy. It's almost a full bar on a good bed. She's never slept a day in her life, and spends points on other goodies. It can also breathe life into the challenge if you add a reason why you're making so many babies. My current one is an albino living underground, because the world's atmosphere no longer serves protection from the sun, and people are dying off. Her special form of albinism has her uniquely suited for underground life, while the surface dwellers are doomed.. they need the light that's killing them. So she's trying to pass her genes on, to bring in a new era of life. Albino children will move into their own bunkers as adults, but non albinos will be sent to the surface when they grow up, and she'll hope they'll be stronger than the donors. She knows the future doesn't look good for them. She meets new donors only when the sun sets.

[@kaleite6857]

Today I started playing it, 8 sims born rn with 5 of them being teens/older, honestly tiny living HUGE advantage. I have a two tier tiny house which allows the skill boost and is so quick to age up the toddlers -and just anyone- and everyone sleeps inside! The trick? Do a second floor (or if you don't height your first floor) and put fake walks, honestly I have a "fake" second floor with the matriarch room and older kids room, a 2x2 bathroom (plus another tile for shower since I don't have university or snowy escape) and it's so good. I have most of the kids and toddler stuff outside in a garden play time zone, with rugs and all so it looks cute and the toddlers and kids can just hang out there. I am in the same dilemma if I shall ever make the house bigger, currently the baby dungeon is temporarily me locking the matriarch s room from everyone else lmao but yeah it's fun, I am trying to speed run it a bit 😅 since I tend to leave long gameplays. My goal is to make this matriarch have between 20-25 babies hopefully, with the help of some lot traits to have twins and triplets 😉.

Other tips might be handy to use get the kids to do as much as they can kids can clean up plates or mop teens can cook repair and teach toddlers and you can get them to help eachother do the projects (I forgot you could buy the projects lol) I find the electronic art pad (I think thats what it's called looks like a big tablet) is a lot quicker to gain the painting skill as you can stack up to 5 and just let your sim paint the finished paintings will be in your inventory Use any aspiration points your teens have gained for potions for your matriarch before ageing and kicking them out has helped me out when a sim died and I needed my matriach to have another baby just can't use the youth one XD or buy the money tree if they have enough only had 1 child sim that had enough for it out of 55 lol
