I Am Surrounded By Idiots

In life there must be rules and so there must be rules in this blog. As this is my first attempt at blogging a Sim Story, I'll probably break every single one of them. But here we go.

1. I will not write this story. The Sims will write it themselves.
2. To this end, I will try the I'm Surrounded By Idiots challenge. It will be a challenge for me as I am a Sims control freak. All my sims must be perfect little pretend people who lead perfect little pretend lives.
3. I will update at least once every two weeks. 
4. At the end of 10 generations I'll add up the score. If I end up on the positive side, I get a lovely dark beer. If I end up on the negative side, I'll choke down some nasty gin.

What are the rules of the ISBI challenge? Everybody knows. I'm the last to find out. Here are some bullet points to show which rules I will be following. Note, I said rules "I" will be following. They will closely follow the "official" rules. Except no crazy people. I hate that trait with all the giggling and talking to themselves for no reason. And I'm supposed to be surrounded by idiots, not the insane.

• Create a YA sim to my liking. This will be my Torch Bearer.
• Lifespan is Normal.
• Use my 20,000 simoleons as I see fit. No gaining money from moved in sims. No money cheats.
• No controlling any sim that is not the Torch Bearer. (Exception-- if sim is glitched and needs to be unglitched).
• Torch Bearer must have two children. Once the youngest reaches young adulthood, they become the Torch Bearer.
• All sims must remain in the household until death. (Exception-- if household limit of 8 is reached. Then the oldest has to go.)

There are a few free actions that can be chosen for non-Torch Bearers.

1. Claim a bed (once per sim only).
2. Torch Bearers spouse or partner is having a baby, can click on to induce labor.
3. Once non-Torch Bearer spouse or child ages up, can click birthday cake (that Torch Bearer has made.)
4. Can have non-Torch Bearer take pregnancy test.

And one more set of bullet points because why not. Scoring.
