The Sims 4 has changed a lot since we first talked about the 100 Baby Challenge (Ep 008: Line 'em up for Baby-Making), so we thought it was time to provide an updated guide! Caitlin and Jess are going to give you a quick history of the challenge, discuss the packs that will either help or hinder your baby-making spree, and provide invaluable tips and tricks they've learned through their own gameplay (pour one out for Caitlin's sanity).
So, rev up your flirtiest Sim, break out the bassinets, and brace yourself for a whirlwind of babies!
Also, Jess does NOT work for EA.
