Re: Sims 1,2,3 and 4

Been playing Sims 2 since the Ultimate Collection was free. A few days ago I started a Challenge of my own design, forming an alien hive based on Pollination Tech#9's family tree. It may end up failing one generation in, cause I have yet to have a female child randomly rolled as a birth queen instead of Pollination Techs or Workers.

I've never completed a challenge or legacy in the Sims. I love family trees, manipulating genetics and town maintenance, though. How does your challenge go?

In-depth challenge description is long!

The basics: Start with a CAS couple, male and female, with the alien skintone and eyes. (Custom content or boolprop cheat, both work as long as they're both dominant genes.) The female is a birth queen, the male is a colony drone. Move 'em into a big lot and get breeding. Each child is assigned to one of four castes at birth, determined via dice roll. I have a triplets and quadruplets hack, so I've tweaked the odds to have a lot of multiple births, and no limit on the household size.

Girls have a 1 in 6 chance of rolling as a birth queen (the breeder). BQs are constantly pregnant once adult and produce the next generation. Boys have a 1 in 5 chance of rolling as colony drones, which father the next generation and goof off/party (building relationships). Each child also has a 1 in 12 chance of rolling as a Pollination Technician, otherwise they become workers.

Pollination Techs cannot breed with other aliens, but are allowed to move out once they're adults and marry humans (or impregnate via Tombstone of L and D). As long as their children retain the alien skin and eyes, their caste is determined the same as full-blooded aliens. Otherwise, they're considered human and no longer part of the hive.

Workers live with the birth queen and drones, and are sterile. They can have romances and woohoo, but not get pregnant. They help raise the children, cook and clean, and get jobs to bring in money.

Challenge continues until you have no more birth queens of breeding age or until you get bored (I rarely hit the fourth or fifth generation of any neighborhood). The hardest part was while the oldest kids were growing up and money was too tight to afford enough beds and bathrooms. After that, it's mostly a problem of everyone getting in each other's way in the nursery and bathrooms.

I'm constantly manipulating genetics. I started with Veronaville and I'll have a few generations where I will just have the blondes marry blondes, red heads marry red heads, etc and then cross them to see what happens when the black/brown heads mix in with everyone where the blonde and red heads end up. Currently one of the black haired Monty descendants crossed with a red headed Capp descendant and I ended up with a blonde child.

I have been devouring the Sims 2 since they released the Ultimate Collection. I played Sims 1 religiously through high school, played Sims 2 my freshmen year of college and got Sims 3 last year for my birthday when they offered an Origin bundle. I think of them all I really like Sims 2 the best.
