The Achievements of Arden Westbrook

Well, who would have thought that we would be here after all this time?  In October 2017, I set out to have 100 babies - now I have completed the challenge and all 100 of my children are grown (and most of them have passed from old age).  As of the completion of the challenge, Babies 95 to 100, Willow, Rory, Edison, Astrid, Otto and Freya are still alive, so they do not have eulogy posts.  Baby 76 Floyd was also revived as a ghost, so he is still 'alive' and therefore doesn't have a eulogy either.  The final household consists of myself, my husband Jett, Baby 98 Astrid, Baby 100 Freya, our servo Buzz, and our dog Piccolo.  

Here I am on the first day of the challenge, before I was a mother.  

And here is the last portrait taken of me, now a wife, a mother to 100, and a grandmother to 91 who is highly skilled and accomplished.  I have had 69 pregnancies from 68 different fathers.  I managed to have, through no outcome influence, 50 sons and 50 daughters, which includes 39 singletons, 29 sets of twins, and one set of triplets.  

As far as occult statuses go, two children were born mermaids; two became vampires as teenagers; at least four were half-aliens; one is currently still around as a ghost; the last baby was fathered by the Grim Reaper; and the triplets were the children of Father Winter.  

As far as deaths go, at the end of the challenge, six children were still alive.  91 had died of old age; one had died of embarrassment upon aging into a young adult (though brought back as a ghost, so technically both dead and alive); and both of the vampires died from sun exposure (at different times).  

Here is a table of the breakdown of each pregnancy. 

And, just because I was interested, here is the distribution of toddler traits amongst the 100 babies.  At some stage I started randomising them. 

At just over halfway through my challenge, my halfway baby Aiden, Baby 50, wrote a post about my progress up until then.  At that point, I had 27 traits and had maxed out 13 skills.  Now, I have 53 traits, have maxed 29 skills, and have completed 17 aspirations. 

Here are all of my traits.  My starting traits were Family Oriented, Neat and Art Lover. 

And all of my skills.  

And we can't forget my statistics!  I spent the majority of my time in positive moods, which is great!  I'm sure that most of the times I was uncomfortable was during my 69 pregnancies. 

I also own a seldom-seen bakery called Baker's Dozens which is in an old church.  

Well, this is it.  I say farewell for now, and thank you for reading if you are still here after all this time.  This isn't the last you will see of me... 

Now a new challenge begins, partly inspired by me - The Gump Challenge.

Westbrook Ranch

 As the series draws to a close, we look back at all of Arden's achievements and her life.  We start with the homestead that most of the children spent their formative years in, Westbrook Ranch.  Arden and her children moved to the property in the chapter Another Wedding when she only had 10 children.  Baby 5 Sage was married there soon after they moved in.  They lived in this house until A New House and a 29th Baby, which also included a tour of the house before it was demolished.  The current house was the birthplace of Babies 29 to 100, and every baby from 23 to 100 was raised there, as well as two dogs, (Joey and Piccolo), one servo (Buzz), one grandchild (Khloe) and one husband (Jett).  Partners of the children have periodically stayed at the house temporarily too.  Without further ado, here is a tour of Westbrook Ranch, a 6-bedroom, 4-bathroom family home with every amenity imaginable.  

The humble homestead is located in the Skyward Palms neighbourhood of Oasis Springs.  

During Winterfest, the front is adorned with decorations and lights. 

The entrance - living area with a games table, computer and grand piano. 

Plenty of family photos, taken mostly by our queen and matriarch Arden. 

Where the pet bed is is where the Christmas tree goes every Winterfest. 

The main bathroom used by the kids. 

The lounge room.  Many a New Years Eve countdown was watched in here.  

More family photos. 

One of the children's rooms.  

Simple yet effective. 

The single bedroom.  Usually taken by a singleton baby. 

That wardrobe has been the site of some shenanigans...

The third kids' room, complete with appropriate mess.

This room also has a picture of Patchy, painted by none other than our Arden. 

The play room. 

Also features two pictures by Arden. 

One of my personal favourite spaces, the courtyard.  Enclosed by a dome roof to protect the plants, which includes a money tree!

This is also the location of where the portraits were taken of Baby 38 onwards. 

The kitchen, one of Arden's favourite spaces and the location of many family events. 

The dining room, where many a meal was had. 

Arden's bedroom, which is also where all babies lived before they became toddlers.  Featuring Arden and Jett's wedding photos, and a signed photo of Arden's first boyfriend, Dhruv.

Another angle of the master bedroom. 

Arden's ensuite.

The toddler bedroom. 

Many meals were had on the panda chair. 

In the basement there are hidden gems.

Complete with a view to the pool.

The gym was well-used. 

The third bathroom is in the basement (there is also another half-bathroom upstairs).

The colourful laundry. 

Skill objects abound! 

The home cinema. 

You can tell this house really evolved with the packs I acquired.  This basement area never existed in the original house!

A spa with a sauna. 

The backyard and pool. 

Nice and compact. 

Plenty of objects for family fun and the skeleton of the cowplant Milky! 

The greenhouse, another addition that wasn't in the original house pre-Seasons.  Most of the plants are evolved to perfect state. 

Now to a largely hidden part of the house - the gallery.   Arden painted each and every one of her 100 children when they became young adults.  Let's follow Arden as she wanders down memory lane...

Beginning with Babies 1 and 2, fraternal twins Arlo and Asher. 

Followed by 5 girls: Bonnie (3), Faye (4), identical twins Sage (5) and Kaya (6), and Hadley (7).

Lachlan (8), Reid (9), Oscar (10) and Angus (11).  Unfortunately the portrait of Angus's twin Elodie (12) is missing.  

Simon's (13) portrait is also missing.  Then there's Felix (14), Max (15) and Tessa (16).  Tessa's identical twin Zara's (17) portrait is the last one missing. 

A string of singletons: Leo (18), Poppy (19), Briar (20), Sasha (21) and Remy (22). 

Two set of fraternal girls: Georgia (23) and Jade (24), and Hazel (25) and Harlow (26). 

The twins who look nothing alike: Benjamin (27) and Genevieve (28), followed by Violet (29), the first baby born in this house. 

The first identical twin boys, Archie (30) and Owen (31), then Rhys (32) and Cameron (33). 

These three have the same father yet two pregnancies!  Hugo (34), and twins River (35) and Melody (36). 

Then started another string of singletons: Finn (37), Scarlett (38), Ottilie (39). 

Reilly (40), Harry (41), Beckett (42) and Zoe (43).

There's no mistaking their father!  Twins Romily (65) and Rowen (66), then Henry (67) and Nathan (68), the one who followed in his mum's footsteps. 

Two more sets of fraternal girls (she seemed to have a lot of consecutive sets).  Kiernan (69) and Siobhan (70), and Dulcie (71) and Posey (72). 

Teddy (73), whom she had with her first boyfriend Dhruv, Charlie (74), and twins Wynn (75) and Floyd (76), whose father is Arden's husband Jett (long before they were together though).  Floyd died of embarrassment upon becoming a young adult.

Willow (95) and twins Rory (96) and Edison (97). 

And the final three: twins Astrid (98) and Otto (99), and the final baby, the daughter of death, Freya (100).
