Rules

So, these are my own set of rules, keeping mostly in line with the original rules but with a few modifications.

• No money cheats are to be used (motherlode, kaching or familyfunds)
• There will be no pre-aging up of the children, to preserve the natural age gaps between the kids
• No reusing of fathers
• Blanche (the mother) can be self-employed and/or have a home profession 
• Children and teens can go to boarding school (none of them have gone so far, though)
• Direct adoptions (by calling up Adoption Services) do not count
• All babies have a first and middle name
• Teens can get part-time jobs
• Babies can be any life state, occult or non-occult
• I do not have any mods or CC in my game (I've never used them) UPDATE: I now have the Story Progression, WooHooer and MasterController mods so that a) it's easier for Blanche to get pregnant, b) the kids who have already moved out can have proper lives too and c) so, in emergencies, there is no eight-person-per-house constriction 
• Only babies who have grown into Young Adults can move out
• Graduations and Formals are rites of passage
• There must be a memory of each child in the house
