Starting Over - Rudy and Sabrina Blue

After messing around with the 'play with genetics' I have realized that the blue color quickly fades. The original dark blue color was gone in gen 2, and by generation 3 only around 25% are teal, half are a greyish color and the rest are other random skin colors. Without marrying cousins, the blue color will quickly die out. To resolve this, I am starting over with 2 blue founders: Rudy and Sabrina Blue with the color of having a blue family in every house.

Before I start, I changed some settings in my MC Command Center, changed maximum homeless to 2, enabled moving out elders and set open houses to 0. For pregnancies, I set it to run on teen, young adult and adults, enabled affairs, allowed pregnancies to happen on played (not active) households, disabled enforce family, set max household children to 10, max allowable offspring to 6, automarry percent to 50, and pregnancies to opposite sex only. I also installed a new mod No Cull to keep my family trees in tact, and went through each house and moved a piece of furniture so mc command center would register them as valid houses.

I've changed the rules a bit:

  • Create a blue (or green) male and female that are unrelated. Start them as teens or young adults. Have an elder in the house if starting as teens.
  • Let all active and unplayed sims auto-age on normal or long speed, you can choose whether or not to auto-age inactive played households, I choose not to. Pregnancy tests are ok.
  • Each sim will have a monogamous relationship. They can try for baby once they move in together, and have multiple children before marriage, but once they have a child they must stay together and try to get married.
  • Children must stay with parents until they are young adults. When they are old enough to move out, they must choose a mate and move in with them. Unless they are the last blue child in which case they will take their parents house. I will do a rotational play style to encourage the blue descendants to have more children.
  • Challenge is complete when all houses in all three neighborhoods contain at least 3 blue or teal people.
  • Use http://createarandomsim.com/ to generate traits and aspirations

New Heir - Orlando Blue

Rudy Blue has become an elder and his youngest blue child has been proclaimed heir. Rudy married the towny Kassidy Whipple, and together they had 9 children: 5 blue, 3 dark and 1 light. From left to right in the image they are: Lex, Rosalie, Katlyn, Jazmine, Julia, Janna, Kasandra and Kruz.
I have created a new, unplayed household called Whipple-Blue for their other children, to let mc command center do its work.

The heir is Orlando Blue, a rambunctious scamp and music lover.
Rudy and Kassidy made quite a few improvements to their house, Crick Cabana. It now has 7 beds and 3 bathrooms, plus an office and exercise room. When Orlando becomes a young adult he will use his parent's money to buy an empty lot and build a new house.

Introduction - Rudy Blue

This challenge will be similar to many other Sims 4 challenges, but with less restrictions.
The goal is to fill my sim world with blue people, descendants of a single blue male.
I have 1 mod installed, MC Command Center, so that the world will naturally progress without micromanagement. I will be using a random generator to choose traits and aspirations. The lifespan will be average, without any early aging or age lengthening. Aging unplayed sims and autoaging are enabled. While my main is at home and awake, I will control them only. If they are away I will direct the other sims to be useful. Basic guidelines for family are move in with and get married to spouse, remain together unless spouse dies - then find a new spouse asap, have as many children as they can support, and do not intentionally kill non-blue children. When my character becomes elderly, I will choose the youngest blue child and play them. Although my first character has blue skin, hair and eyes, only the blue skin is a requirement of this challenge.
So without further ado, here is the first sim!




Name: Rudy Blue
Aspiration: Master Chef 
Traits: Bro, Music Lover, Noncommittal


He has moved into Crick Cabana, in Willow Creek.
