Mother of Monsters: A Sims 4 Challenge

[With the arrival of the Sims 4 Parenthood pack, I decided it was finally time that I shared this idea I’ve been working on for a while. It’s still a little iffy and not quite polished, so it’s okay to modify or suggest any rules that you think would be fun for this challenge. Hope you enjoy :D.

Note: I am very very very new to this forum, to posting, to challenges, and to life itself, if I made any mistakes, or if there is a problem to the challenge (or if you just want to make a cool suggestion) feel free to point it out and I will try to remedy it as quickly as I can.]

Idea:

This challenge was based on the 100 Baby challenge and the Immortal Sisters Challenge. Both are really fun and you should go check them out.

In this challenge you play as a ‘Queen’ (or King, thanks to a patch that makes male sims get pregnant) that wishes to take over the world (neighborhood) by bearing children and drinking the lifeforce of Cowplants to stay alive. While also trying to work on their own skills to become more powerful.

You begin by creating a sim, they must be:

• Able to get pregnant.
• Have the evil trait.
• Be either a young adult or an adult.
• There can only be ONE sim at the start.

When you are happy with your sim, move them into an empty lot. You are free to build the house however you want as long as you have the money, (Money cheats are not allowed). You can buy cowplants seeds from the inventory thanks to the cheat listed below*. Once your Cowplants are matured, it’s time to go out into the world and find a suitor! Have fun ;).

Rules:

Now here comes the gameplay part, I’m still not quite set on all the rules, feel free to modify some of them based on the difficulty level you want and make suggestions.

• Lifespan for you must be set on normal.
• Your Queen can never get a job. (The teenagers on the other hand, can go out and have jobs).
• The Queen must never get married.
• You cannot leave your lot if you have a child alone at home. (If you have teenagers, then they can babysit their siblings while you are gone.)
• The children must move out of the house when they become young adults.
• You can move in any neighborhood with an empty / bulldozed lot.
• Your lot can have any trait.
• You must wait for your kid's birthdays to age them up.
• Depending on the difficulty you want, you can hire a butler.
• Depending on the difficulty you want, you can make your own Suitors and place them in the neighborhood.
• Alien and Vampire babies count the same as any other child, just so much more awesome.
• Love all your children. Sort of. At least try to…

Because killing Sims with Cowplants seems to have become very tricky recently, with NPCs refusing to eat the cowplant cake, with sims receiving the sad moodlet even when they didn’t witness the death, and the glitches that can arise when you try to control the NPC with the ‘add to family’ cheat, I decided I was going to introduce two mods: ‘Killer Mod’ and ‘Passive Mod’. Your Queen will either be homicidal and decide to kill her Suitors for their lifeforce, or be Passive: The Queen gains longevity with every child she bears, which will allow her to buy the longevity potion in the satisfaction menu. Each one of these mods have their pros and cons, so decide which one is best for you. :)

Rules for Passive Mode:

Cons: Suitors will probably want to see their kids… a lot… it doesn’t matter if the kids are evil spawns: creatures of different dimensions must discuss visitation rights.

Pros: Less glitchy (in my case at least.), and less depressing.

• Every time your Queen gives birth, you give yourself 1000 satisfaction points with the cheat listed below. These satisfaction points will allow yourself to buy the longevity potion. Make sure you have a healthy stack of those in the house.
• Suitors can never move in with your family, ever.
• Depending on the Story you want, parent sims can ask to take their kids out for a family outing.

Rules for Killer Mode:

Cons: Sims may get a negative moodlet from the death of the Suitor, that will last more than two to three days, making every one depressed. (You, your Queen, and your toddler's. Everyone's depressed.) Glitches can arise if you do the ‘Add to family’ cheat, and it is exhausting to constantly check on your Cowplants.

Pros: It’s more edgy… and you get Sims Ghost! Yay…?

• When you find a Suitor, you can romance them, invite them to your home, but you must immediately feed them to the Cowplants upon impregnation. (Depending on the difficulty level you want, you can had them to your family and collect their funds.)

• The Cowplants must remain hidden, (like in a room or a basement.)
• The Queen must survive by drinking other’s lifeforce.
• You can keep the urns and gravestones on your lot for funsies. Just don’t be surprised if the ghost are mad at you.
• The Queen can have anywhere from 1 to 5 Cowplants. When one dies, it must immediately be replaced without cheating. (I recommend crafting a dragon fruit plant and a snapdragon plant together to get cowplant seeds.)

Goal:

You win when you have;

• 30+ children.
• At least 20-25+ perk traits (including the ones you start out with. And at least one of them should be gained through the family aspirations.)
• Maxed out in 5+ skills.

*Cheats:

These are the only cheats I think will be necessary for the challenge:

• When you are on the lot, buy your cow plant seeds with the bb.showhiddenobjects cheat, you can then find them in buy mode.
• Depending on the difficulty you want: Use the testingcheats true cheat, then the sims.give_satisfaction_points 3000 , then get the fertility perk (incidentally, when you complete an aspiration, you can get any perks you want later on). This is optional.
• It can be really hard to get captured sims to eat the cowplant cake, so it’s okay to add the sims to the family and override their actions.
• If you play Passive mode, give yourself 1000 satisfaction points every time you give birth with sims.give_satisfaction_points 1000 (note: this is for every time you give birth, not per child. If you had twins, then you still get 1000 points.)

Outside of those cheats, nothing else is allowed. (For my sake I copy-pasted the rules from the 100 Baby Challenge, given that they apply very well to this challenge as well.)

• Any mods or CC that give you an unfair advantage over other players is not allowed. For example, a mod that allows you to have more than eight Sims in a household is not allowed because it will give you the ability to keep having more and more children without having to wait to move out older children first and that is an unfair advantage. A CC item of a sparkly pair of sunglasses would be fine for you to have because having a sparkly pair of sunglasses in your game does not help you with the challenge in any way.

• Any cheats that give you an unfair advantage over other players is not allowed. This includes but is not limited to money cheats, motive enhancing cheats, skill cheats, school performance cheats, satisfaction point cheats, and cheats that unlock special objects. The "bb.moveobjects on" cheat is allowed for creative building purposes. Resetting Sims to resolve glitches is also allowed. In the case of a glitch or game crash that causes you to lose your game data or otherwise corrupts/ruins your file, you are always allowed to use whatever cheats/mods necessary to recover what you lost.

Happy Challenge!

And if you want to post stories about your sim, please share their links below! That would be absolutely lovely.

I made this challenge around a story idea I had, you can read it here if you want. I hope you enjoy.
