It’s a short-ish challenge where I adopt four kids at a time to turn them into well-skilled, educated adults. Original ruleset here, my modifications down below:
- Parties are allowed because no one is going to come to the house as a perfect angel child. Their guardian may have different ideas, though.
- Pets are allowed and encouraged, but I can’t use dogs to hunt for collectables.
- I ain’t marrying an NPC.
- Adopted children have randomized traits anyways and I will keep them even if they are “banned” like Good and Friendly or they don’t have a “bad” trait. But as a compromise, every subsequent trait is randomized too. (Note: as I transition to the second class I do wonder if adopted kids in TS3 draw from a pool of good/neutral traits instead of getting them truly randomized; in my defense, I only adopted maybe three times in the space of many years in TS3 so who am I to know? We’ll assess this condition later…)
- I will alter the looks of adopted children in any way except for skintone.
- I can send my students to University after high school but only if they get the highest scholarship level and I can afford it.
- I’m playing on a modified lifespan with 14 days each for children and teenagers and 48 days each for young adults and adults (and a similarly long elder span), so my main caretaker can live to see all of her students graduate and also for the sake of realism.
