Infant Milestones Challenge (Sims 4)

First part will premiere on Saturday, November 11, 2023 at 9 pm Eastern.

Playlist link

Goals:

Our sims from my Food Stand Rags to Riches Let’s Play, Anna and Rudy Banks, have just had their first child, Elodie Banks. Our goals for this challenge are as follows:

  1. To reach all the developmental milestones as quickly as possible.
  2. To reach as many ‘firsts’ life milestones as we can.

Lifespan is long and we won’t do any ‘firsts’ life milestones that require us to go off our home lot until after Elodie has tried her first food.

Developmental Milestones:

There are 22 developmental milestones in total, 8 Social, 8 Gross Motor and 6 Fine Motor. Here are screenshots of what they look like in your milestone panel (these are from one of the infants in my Growing Together Let’s Play):

‘Firsts’ Life Milestones:

Here are the ‘firsts’ life milestones that we will attempt to get. This list is not exhaustive, here’s a link to the Sims Community article on milestones if you’d like to see their written list.

Infant Mods in My Game:

I’m using the module of Bienchen’s infant mod (considered a Growing Together mod) that reduces how often caregivers check on their infants. This mod also has modules to speed up reaching milestones and also make infants needs decay slower after they reach certain milestones, I do not have those modules in my game. Here’s a screenshot of the full description, though as I said, I only have the less check on infants module.

I have other mods in my game, most notably certain modules of MCCC (excluding the Population, Pregnancy and Woohoo modules).

Growing Together Rags to Riches (Sims 4)

My latest LP for Growing Together LP is a variation on rags to riches, as my family will get to start with an empty house. First part should be up later today, March 24, 2023 at 3 pm EDT. Playlist link to TBA.

Meet our Family:

The Samuels are a close knit family. including a recently widowed mom who has a teen, a child, an infant and another one on the way! Her husband passed away recently and she used the little insurance money remaining to buy an unfurnished home in San Sequoia, which is new town for her and her family but happens to be where her sister is currently living. How will they all manage? Gallery link for the family.

Mom, young adult Madison Samuels, she is creative, family oriented and an animal enthusiast. She has the bonus collector trait from choosing a nature aspiration.

Teen, Brynn Samuels, she is a creative and a geek & has the muser trait from choosing a creativity aspiration. She will be joining us in the fall as she is currently on an exchange for the summer in Mt. Komorebi.

Child, Fiona Samuels who is an animal enthusiasts.

Infant, Avery Samuels who is sunny.

Family cat Mimi, who is a glutton, clever and a prowler!

Also in the San Sequoia is Madison’s young adult sister Sage Galloway. She is a genius bookworm, who also happens to be an animal enthusiast. She has the quick learner trait from choosing a knowledge aspiration.

Goals:

  1. Have Madison at a minimum complete the Parenthood parent aspiration, the fortune aspiration & one nature aspiration. She will also work on other aspirations and complete what she can.
  2. When our teen Brynn joins the household she needs to complete the overachiever teen aspiration and like her mom she will also work on other aspirations, including her primary aspiration, Bestselling Author.
  3. Have all children, starting with Fiona, complete all child aspirations, including the four new ones.
  4. Have all children learn how to ride a bike.
  5. Have all infants, starting with Avery, complete all infant milestones and try all infant foods (both mashed and finger foods) and as a toddler, max all skills.
  6. Furnish their home so that it suits a family living there!
  7. See if we can complete all the puzzles!
  8. The family must buy and build a treehouse and fully upgrade it.

Will Madison meet someone and if she does, what impact will that have on her family?

Optional Goal: Complete the Making Money scenario.

Rules:

  1. Sims start with nothing except the unfurnished house on 23 Eucalyptus Lane, a 30×20 lot in the Hopewell Hills area of San Sequoia (gallery link for my starting home, see screenshot below)
  2. No selling into inventory until you have a yard sale table/street gallery (requires either City Living, Jungle Adventures or Eco Lifestyle).
  3. Aging can be whatever you wish. I will have it on long for my current household only.
  4. You can use whatever type of residential lot you’d like. Mine is a tiny home (2 tier Tiny Residential)
  5. For more Rags to Riches guidelines, see my blog post or video.

Here’s their starting home as an FYI:
