Challenge Rules

This is the letter Reg sent me about the rules of the challenge.

"My Dearest Lark,

I hope you've been holding up after I dropped the news on you.  I really think this could be a fulfilling challenge for you.

Anyway, here are the rules that I told you I would write about.


  • No cheats unless necessary (author's note: I usually keep the testing cheats on just in case, and occasionally use the "teleport" feature when I get impatient, but I will let you know if I use cheats in a certain situation.)
  • You are not allowed to use babysitters, maids, or butlers.
  • Along with no money cheats, you are not allowed to collect, except for gardening seeds.
  • You will provide for your family by painting, gardening, writing books, etc..., but you are not allowed to get a job.
  • Try to have home births as much as possible, but this is not necessary.
  • Traits for children must be rolled.
  • Try to teach toddlers all skills.
  • Children and teens must go to school, but no part-time jobs allowed.  After-school activities, though, are permissible.
  • Use an epic lifespan for adults and young adults.
  • Lifespan for others are as follows: babies - one day (author's note: or less.  I'll often age up the babies right away because let's be honest... they're kind of boring), toddler - four days, child - eight days, teen - six days.  The birthday cake can be used to age up a couple days early if desired.
  • You must have a separate father for each pregnancy (of course, if you have multiples, those babies all count, but you don't need a separate father.)
  • Baby daddies may not move in.  You can't go steady with anyone, get engaged, or get married.  That is strictly prohibited until after the challenge is completed.
  • Lifetime rewards are allowed.
  • High free will is turned on.
  • Names will be alphabetical, 4 children for each letter.  The exceptions are as follow: only three Q names, only 2 X names, and only 3 Y names.
I will be receiving periodic updates from the detectives that the "devil" hired.  You can do this, sweetie.

You won't be doing this alone.

Love,
Reg"
