Toddler Mania challenge rules

[mountainshade1]

Inspired by Jo's (joandsarah) stab at the Toddler Mania challenge earlier in the week I wanted to try it out myself, but it was hard to find a good rule-set so I decided to create my own, borrowing heavily from TreyNutz2 and simsdivad's rule-sets.

Credit must be given where credit is due:

:D I really really want to try this (if you don't mind my borrowing your rules set, the others were a bit too confusing for me) but I am simultaneously terrified! D: I've gained a ton of knowledge on dealing with toddlers in general, so thank you!

DO I recognize Fuzzy's cheeks in Stephan perhaps? And Averall, I wonder if there's anything mediocre about him? ;D

Nanny MacPee!!! :D awesome Shadey! Will you do a part 2?

Go right ahead Caffie, I posted my rule-set both here and over on Boolprop exactly so others could give the challenge a shot and use my rules if they so wished. If you have any suggestions to my rules you're more than welcome to tell me. Will you post it if you try it out? :D I'm super keen to see how others get on with my rules.

No it's not Fuzzy's cheeks you are detecting there, and Averall doesn't have any Chisel Jersey genes in him - but you are sort of on the right track. 8) Keep guessing.

I am certainly planning to do more tests of this challenge, and likely amend my rules further. For one thing I think I want to make the money situation a bit harder; I didn't have to be careful at all concerning spending money on the house size and furniture, and that made it feel a little bit too easy. I want this to be a hard challenge.

I was actually pondering that exact thing on the money front. Would it be better if say, I built the "house" and then funded mom (I do wish we used the word mum, it's nicer sounding) the amount + X for it? X being whatever spending money she'd need/be allowed. Motherlode + whatever a family of 8's base money is seems like a lot. Of course I would post it. You'd be interested to see how low a score can go, yes? ;D

Stephan is really not even part Fuzzy?! :O

If I were walking around Greenhill, doing what I do (whatever *that* might be) would I know any of the fathers? I noticed you did say "father" at points, seems a hint. I'm trying to keep in mind that you might have been sneaky and swapped some genetics around.

AH I see I mistyped Averall, I did mean Freddy looks a bit like little CJ, but, well... hmm. Perlina's colorings look like Byte..Now I'm even more confused.

(Is Averall perhaps Average's son? Or.. barking up the wrong tree, again?)

Sorry, I can't edit my reply but I was just wondering, is the trash chute(s) allowable?

[fuzzy_spork]

OMG that was fun! :D I'm going to end up trying this, too. lol

Okay... Looking at Stephen, he looks exactly like Julien Cooke as a toddler! Max looks like Stephen Tinker... You keep hinting at Freddy's "dad" lol... I don't know!

[morecaffeine]

Sorry, maybe this is obvious, but how do you know what Jour looked like as a toddler? YOU GOT SOME SPLAININ' TO DO! ;D

[fuzzy_spork]

lol! I've got him extracted (which is redundant, a lot) and have aged him down in CAS, and I'd bet money that's him!

If any of those kids have Fuzzy genes in them, I'd say Freddy, because of that chin and cheeks. Otherwise I'm totally clueless about who the kids are or related to! This is gonna drive me nuts until Shadey gives a better hint. ;D

[morecaffeine]

Well, you got me thinking about Max = Stephen. Could Bleuna = Wanda then? Have you ever extracted any of the others? Now I started thinking about townies and binners, I feel like Averall reminds me of someone, almost like Gil-behr but yeah, I'm way more lost than before. D: HALP US SHADEY!

[fuzzy_spork]

Okay, if Average is the father of Averall... does this mean all the toddlers have a simself "father"? Is Morgana the biological mother of all of them? SO, that means... it means I still have no idea who is whose! lol

[morecaffeine]

Also, are any of them Pinch by blood? Is that question allowable? ;D

[fuzzy_spork]

We'll turn this into a game of 20 questions. :D

I can't see Adalena's face well enough in any pics to make a guess there. If she's a face clone of her "father"... Are their names a clue?!

[morecaffeine]

Freddy has to have some form of simself, right? Look at his little undereyes! I'm wondering if Freddy's "father" is Shadey?! (She never did answer if he was related to CJ lol) We may need to break out the spreadsheets and chart these hints she's given.

[blueberrypie360]

I'm not really gonna take a guess at the toddlers, but this was a really fun read. The pictures were great and amazing to look at.

[mountainshade1]

Thanks BBP. And don't worry, your simself hasn't been roped into being a dad in this case.
Not tempted to give the challenge a go?

[morecaffeine]

Alright, Fuzzy and I collaborated, and here are our final guesses (before we start our own!)

Averall = Average
Adalena = Adam
Bleuna = Bleubeari
Freddy = Frenchie
Max = Maxibuckle
Perlina = Pearlrose
Stephan = Pettech

(I always forget to use different icons)

[mountainshade1]

YES! Spot-on you two! Here is a medal each ->

[fuzzy_spork]

Medals, even! :D That was one crazy game of match-the-DNA. :P

[morecaffeine]

Well, don't discount your super eagle eyes seeing Stephan's magic hair dye.. ;D
