I see I haven’t updated for a while. I reached kid number 30 and Queen found a new mate – Hans, a blond, bespectacled businessman and I think she’s either had another or become pregant to him.
But, having got halfway, I’m rather bored with it all. There are other more interesting families in other neighbourhoods – not to mention two neighbourhoods I haven’t even played.
I did play Strangetown recently but after playing 3 Sim days the game crashed and I lost it all. Things like that are a bit offputting – you don’t feel like repeating the whole thing so you go and do something else.
So this was a failed challenge, sorry. I think I might kill off most of the 30 kids and their dads and maybe transfer one or two to new neighbourhoods.

I was told about the Sims 2 Queen Bee Challenge in the weekend and I got enthused enough to start one. In this challenge the Queen Bee, a female Sim, has to mate with 10 males to produce 60 children. I’ve already completed one family of 6 children and they’ve moved out so she’s now ready for the next male. It’s been a struggle, especially financially, but I’ll write about it when I have pics to post. I’ve learned a few things from the first family and hope her fertile years last long enough for the next family and subsequent ones. It involves, of course, using an elixir and keeping her happy enough so she can drink it and get younger. I made a mistake which could potentially be a problem. More later.
