 WE DID IT! We had 100 babies in The Sims 4!

We only lost 4 matriarchs to old age, and one potential baby daddy to a deadly kitchen fire.

Not bad.

It can't just end, can it?

Not as long as I'm in charge! (And I so totally am.)

EPILOGUE

Well, Diana... you did it. You finished what your great-great-great-great (??) grandmother started many weeks years ago. All the matriarchs contributed to the challenge, but you took it home. Congratulations!


So, what do you want to do with the rest of your life?

First order of business: rescue toddler Boston, who's a bit stuck...


Watch as your children grow up...

Stephanie...


Brittany...


Michael...


Boston...


And, of course, Austin...


Yes, go ahead and adopt a poodle!


You deserve it!


YES, rekindle your romance with your high school sweetheart (and father of your first baby), Marty McFly III.



YES, you can accept his proposal now!


Rock that wedding dress!


Say "I do!"


...in front of a mere 10% of your immediate relatives...




Have some cake!




Look on with pride as your two youngest kids become teens...



Give them encouragement when they return from school looking like this...



Diana, you and Marty III can do whatever you want now!


You can make new friends...


Throw parties...


Have another baby...


Look... old habits die hard, okay!?

Diana's first baby (Marty (IV) was with Marty III, so she figures her last baby ought to be with him as well. 

Welcome Diana II!


Marty III is going to be a hands-on dad this time around...



Watch with pride as your twin boys become young adults...


Boston is a computer whiz, a quick learner, an art lover, cheerful, and lazy.



Austin is a renaissance sim and a quick learner. He is a bookworm, creative, and also cheerful. (I can handpick their traits now. No more kleptos in this family!)


Before the twins strike out on their own, we get a family portrait...


We gotta have one with the pets!


Diana spends lots of time with Diana II...


Except when she's advancing her new culinary career...


That's when Fernadine the poodle watches over the little one...


Diana plans to teach her youngest daughter everything she knows...




Marty III might have a thing or two to teach her, too...


Life is good for the Embody family...


And, as far as I know, they'll all live happily ever after.

STATS!

We had 7 matriarchs: 

Adelaide (12 pregnancies, 13 babies)

Cierra (13 pregnancies, 15 babies)

Amber (13 pregnancies, 15 babies)

Quinn (13 pregnancies, 16 babies)

Catalina (15 pregnancies, 18 babies)

Naomi (8 pregnancies, 8 babies)

Diana (12 pregnancies, 15 babies during the challenge; another baby afterward)

Out of the 100 babies, 26 of the kids were "multiples"...

We had 10 sets of twins...

Serena/Cierra (g/g)
Heaven/Thorson (g/b)
Bobby/Johnny (b/b)
Waldemar/Knox (b/b)
Clara/Esmeralda (g/g)
Nylah/Catalina (g/g)
Arielle/Marielle (g/g)
Rainn/Zion (g/b)
Naomi/Quentin (g/b)
Boston/Austin (b/b)

Fun fact: 3 of our matriarchs came from these twin sets!

and we had 2 sets of triplets...

Emilio/Geoffrey/Nicolette (b/b/g)
and
Jacques/Amelie/Cecile (b/g/g)


No kids were taken away, and none died.

Four matriarchs passed away of old age before their youngest child became an adult.

Naomi and Cierra are still wandering around the neighborhood somewhere.

Pixel is on her 22nd life... at least.


(P.S.: Pixel had four offspring: Peanut, Lemonade, Shiloh, and Turtle. They all live with other Embody kids. Two of them have her bobbed tail.)

Molly Attempts The "100 Baby Challenge" In The Sims: Part 12

I think I can, I think I can...

 We are SO CLOSE to the end of the Sims 4 100 Baby Challenge! We have 92 children...

Emmett, August, Emma, Norman, Alysia, Clarissa, Clementine, Anabelle, Bradford, Candice, Leonardo, Serena & Cierra, Irving, Robyn, Harley, Gloria, Blaze, Pearl, Allan, Heaven & Thorson, Bobby & Johnny, Hunter, Corbin, Amber, Frankie, Eleanor, Barbara, Miles, Rocco, Shelly, Emilio & Geoffrey & Nicolette, Skylar, Jane, Xavier, Bonnie, Imani, Owen, Quinn, Raven, Waldemar & Knox, Audra, Roger, Cannon, Jackie, Amanda, Toby, Sonny, Diamond, Clara & Esmeralda, Rosemary, Nylah, & Catalina, Sydney, Frances, Arielle & Marielle, Zoey, Easton, Maeve, Aldo, Rainn & Zion, Martin, Jake, Elvis, Aubree, Lauryn, Naomi & Quentin, Cedric, Talia, Moses, Nico, Marcelo, Kason, Nolan, Diana, Gregory, Marty IV, Calvin, Isaac, Maverick, Cody, Brodie, September, and...???

In our last episode, matriarch Diana hooked up with Frenchman Emanuel Leuname, and during this pregnancy she was looking a bit wider than usual, I thought...


Turns out, there was a reason for that...


Meet the second-ever set of Embody triplets... Jacques, Amelie, and Cecile!

(I was not super excited about this... raising twins or triplets in this game is nuts, especially when you aren't allowed to use cheats. But... at least we were suddenly at 95 kids! Only 5 to go!)

While Diana is busy with triple baby care, Brodie gets ready to age up...


Love that hair, Brodie!


Diana manages to get away for her traditional most-baby makeover. This time, she's going blue...


September plays Chopsticks... or something...


The triplets become toddlers...


Cecile (left) and Amelie (right) bond...


The three chill together...


A few days years later, Amelie and Cecile have a chat on the couch while Pixel looks on...


Brodie becomes a young adult!


Brodie is business-savvy and wants to be fabulously wealthy. He is romantic, active, and a klepto.

September, Cecile, Jacques, and Amelie hang out in the hot tub...


Then September becomes a teen...


Diana and Colby James (the Kansas farm lad, who we met in our last episode) have gotten together...



 and soon it's time for baby #96...


It's a girl -- Stephanie!

Diana goes back to being a blonde just in time to seduce blue-haired Phil Starling...


Stephanie becomes a toddler...


Baby #97 comes along...

It's another girl, Brittany!


And on it goes... another new look for our matriarch...


A houseful of new neighbors has moved in down the street. (Isn't it funny how this keeps happening? And how they're always all young, eligible, and flirty? Amazing.) 

Diana meets the anachronistic yet alluring Denny Harrowford...


Who later shows up at her house wearing that one outfit Talia designed that so many male Sims have donned...


Talia, wherever you are, please design a new trend!

Back at home, September becomes a young adult...


September wants to be a mixologist. She is a goofball, non-committal, and a lover of art.


Brittany is a stylish blonde toddler...


It's time for the triplets to become teens!


First Jacques...


It kind of looks like Diana is about to hit him with a hammer, but I think that's just a celebratory noisemaker.

Then Amelie...


And finally Cecile!


Denny and Diana's child, Baby #98, is on its way! 


It's a boy, Michael!


Stephanie becomes a happy kid...


And big sister September comes for a visit...


Cecile hangs out with Michael and Brittany...


Brittany enters childhood looking like Karen Brewer...


The five school-aged Embody kids come home from school looking like this pretty much every day...


I feel ya, kids.

Jacques is the first of the triplets to strike out on his own!


Jacques is domestic, wants a big happy family, loves music, and is a mean geek.

Cecile and Amelie still need to get their grades up.

Diana only needs to have two more babies, and the challenge will be complete!

It won't be easy, though.

Diana first goes after this guy, Ozzie Franklin. They get super flirty with each other in Diana's bedroom, but before anything can happen, Ozzie abruptly leaves.


Diana then goes over to Ozzie's house, but since it's after midnight, she can't go inside -- she can only chat with him outdoors. 

And to her surprise, Ozzie is cold to her! She tries making jokes, and he doesn't laugh. She tries to flirt, and he rebuffs her. Diana can't believe it!

Around 3am, Diana gets hungry, and runs to a neighboring lot to cook something on a grill.

Meanwhile, back at Ozzie's house, the alarm goes off -- there's a fire!


Try as she might, Diana can't tell where the fire is, nor can she help anyone inside. Some of the residents are outside, now, freaking out.


And then Diana sees the Grim Reaper wafting into the house. 

Morning comes, and at last Diana is permitted to enter the abode.

And that's when she sees this...


Ozzie Franklin, you were supposed to father Baby #99!

And now you're dead. 

THANKS.

Fortunately for Diana, she has no compulsion to mourn Ozzie whatsoever, and quickly moves on to his roommate, Grady Sherell...



Cecile then becomes a young adult...


Cecile, like Jacques, is also domestic, wants a successful lineage, and loves music. But instead of being a mean geek, she is a gloomy bro.


Amelie wants to be a best-selling author. She is a muser, good, active, and a loner.


Michael becomes a kid...


And then it is time for baby #99...


The second-to-last baby!

Who will it be??

It's a boy, Boston!


Oh... wait a minute....


IT'S TWINS!

IT'S BABY #100!

WELCOME, AUSTIN!


Which means, just like that, our 100 Baby Challenge is complete...

But I just don't feel right about ending things there. I want to see Austin and Boston grow up! I want Diana to be able to get married to her true love! And adopt some animals! And maybe start a career! Or at least one or two of those things...

So, stay tuned for the 100 Baby Epilogue... coming up... NOW.
