Furnishings: 

-Cheapest furniture for everything in the house.

-Mouse hole, if you have city living.

-Only three books in the house (may be rotated), but NO skill books.

-Only three skill items in the house (does not include mirrors or fridges), only one can be a “money maker” (i.e. painting, computer).

-No high chairs; the tots have to snag a meal when it’s laid out!

-Always be one bed short; someone always spends the night on the couch. Or the floor.

-Outdoor trashcan only.

-Washtub and clothesline only (no washer and dryer machines but you can have more than one clothesline), one hamper. HARD MODE: no hampers.

-Only one bathroom. 

-Always one toy short for kids (i.e. three children, two toys in the toy box). No skill building toys.

Household:

-Founder may not have a job: children at home (not at school) must go with them on “foraging” forays (finding plants, frogs, rocks, fishing, etc.). Island Living Odd Jobs are acceptable. HARD MODE: kids cannot help make money with plants, frogs, etc.

-Founder may not have partners or spouses, only romantic interests, but can have as many as they like. None can move in. No other adults or teens may move in as helpers.

-May visit public lots to use computers, read other books, or anything else unavailable at home so long as the whole household goes together.

-Must have three sets of five children, or fifteen total. Founder may adopt but remember adoption is expensive (1,000 simoleons)!

-Can have same romantic interest for all children or different ones. HARD MODE: no romantic interests, all children adopted.

-Pets are allowed, but toys and scratching items are not. Food bowls and litter boxes are fine. Pets can always be fed treats or scraps from their humans’ plates.

-Try to avoid leveling the Parenting Skill. 

-All children’s traits must be randomized, but aspirations can be whatever you like.

-Older children cannot directly help care for younger children.

-Teens cannot have jobs and must move out the moment they grow into YA.

-Cannot hire services for any reason.

-Must have all babies at home.

World:

-Make three “mean” holidays on the calendar. HARD MODE: remove all “nice” holidays.

-When your sims are in the most dire of circumstances and desperate for simoleons, you may take out a loan from the bank. However, you may only do so once a week on Mondays. If you do not repay your balance by the next Monday (if you added 1,000 to the household funds, you must remove 1,000 before Monday), you will be charged interest of an additional 100 simoleons for each day you are late. For each day you are overdrawn, you must delete something important from your home/habitat such as one of your three books, a skill item, your fridge. Things like doors, walls, windows, roofs, and decor are not eligible. Again, loans are not necessary, only an option!

Miscellaneous:

-If you cannot finish the child requirement in one generation, have no fear. Simply continue with the next generation of horror. 

-Children taken by social services do not count toward your total fifteen. If you had five, and they were taken away, you have to begin again.

-Sims may be edited with cheats in order to make them eligible to impregnate your founder.

-You may use any CC you like, so long as it’s nothing “functional” that will seriously impact gameplay. 

-If you’d like to combine this challenge with any others (100 baby challenge, breed out the ugly, etc.) feel free! I’d love to see your spin on it.

-Please give me a tag in your initial post of this challenge! I’d love to keep up with all these trash families.

Bonus Hard Modes:

-Begin game in winter, no fireplaces and no temperature control.

-No stoves or microwaves. Only quick meals, bonfires, or campfires.

-Take a loan every Monday, whether you need it (or are able to pay it back) or not.

-Give all children negative traits.

-End romances after your sim is pregnant; use a different lover for each pregnancy.
