HayIshMandys Home For Children

Welcome to HayishMandys Home For Children! This dilapidated, crumbling, and definitely not haunted building, recently was bought by a young and hopeful sim ready to make a difference in the lives of young children. But will their good intentions stay in the right place, or will they fall into shady habits?

Goal:

To revamp the orphanage to a brighter happier facility. (What methods you use to get there is up to you.)

Roll Money Wheel daily to see how much money you get from the government to help you each day.

Start with 1 Caretaker Sim and 7 children.

Roll to see what age each child is.

Start with a rundown building that will be your orphanage.

Owner cannot marry for money.

Owner can get loans/donations from other sims.

The Orphanage can have a garden.

Easels are allowed

Musical instruments such as Guitars and Violins are allowed.

Baby toys are acceptable

The Orphanage can have a TV, but not a very expensive one

Children are mainly responsible for finding ways to make money.

How money is spent is left up to the player.

Try not redecorating rooms too much until the entire facility is clean.

Buying and switching objects as needed is fine.

Use your best judgment on money earned from deleting items.

Daily Events

Spin the wheel to see what Mood the caretaker is in…

Spin wheel to see how much money we get from the government that day.

Roll dice to see what intensity the mood is. (ex. Angry or Very Angry)

Moods can be naturally overridden if the sim is in an influential environment. 

Only one room a day can be “cleaned” (dirt objects removed from space)

Adopting Children Out

After all this is a Home for Children and Children should get the chance to be adopted out. Of course not every child gets adopted so some children will eventually age out of the care center once they reach Young Adulthood. 

Once a week host a house party with potential adoption families around town.

During these events allow children to go around and socialize with families.

If a child and a potential adopter create a bond then you can proceed with adoption interviews at a later day.

If a child is ready for an adoption interview then you can invite over the adopter and get to know them.

Get to know

Ask about Career

Have a Deep Conversation

Ask about interests

Perform a home visit to see if the living conditions are suitable for this child.

If they seem like a good fit then you can roll the dice to see if the adoption will go through,

Odd Roll - The adoption process for whatever reason doesn't go through. Maybe someday they will get another chance with a different family.

Even Roll - Success!!! This child has found a loving home. They can now move in with their new family.

Once a household slot is open you can take on another child.

it is totally okay to be hurt and tired and fed up with the american schooling system but i need you to understand that we need to be better about loudly and routinely defending public education.

yes, many teachers suck, many schools utterly suck. i also got bullied and was absolutely not given the right support for my needs. i am not defending public education because it was kind to me. i am defending it because it needs to exist.

right-wing republicans do not want an educated population. they want kids to be homeschooled or in private school. there is a huge religious undertone to this.

the most common argument is that despite high costs, the "result" is not "good" enough. they point to failing schools as proof that public education is just never going to work out. there will be arguments made here that you actually agree with: that teachers can be bullies, that we taught online for 2 years and still charged the same amount of tuition, that we have no recourse for students to actually have agency or a voice, and that schools are now unsafe for kids due to risk of illness and gun violence.

these are all placing the blame in a fraudulent way, one intended to get your parents to homeschool you. the less kids in a school, the less federally-awarded funding for that school, the less any school succeeds. they will not mention the fact it is their legislation that takes away important funding opportunities, that teachers are living at or below the poverty line, that buildings are not kept up to code, that administration is overpaid and forces specific curriculums, that corporations like (my personal enemy) Pearson Education control certain classroom goals because teachers can't afford other options. they pretend to be ignorant of the gun violence and say "oh just get a gun" - but these are the same people who will be sending their child to a private school with a bulletproof backpack. they don't care if your kid dies, though. they "don't believe" in covid, but they did get their kid vaccinated, because of course they did.

it is a closed loop. conservative parents hear the fearmongering and remove children from the system. frequently these parents are also deeply religious. the kids are raised without access to other media & learn to parrot their parents. you have now created a new generation of conservatives. additionally, one of the parents/caregivers must stay home and homeschool the children, usually for free. i will give you 1 guess which parent tends to stay home to homeschool the children. these parents are encouraged to have many, many children. those children are most likely not getting access to safe sex ed.

we might laugh at fox news suggesting teachers are forcing children to use kitty litter but: first of all, there is kitty litter in the classroom. it's part of an emergency kit in case children are locked in due to a shooter. so that's fucking dystopian, and the fact they've completely reimagined the scenario to somehow make the teachers look bad when it's instead a fucking huge symbol of our failure as a country to protect our children.... it feels a little intentional.

secondly: don't just dismiss the situation. because, yeah, obviously, no teacher is encouraging kids to be a catboy. but the actual undertone that fox news is trying to sew is an outright distrust of teachers and of public education. they rely on the dehumanization of trans people as a common touchstone to hide the fact they're pushing two agendas at once. (which is ironic. because the thing they accuse teachers of. is pushing. an agenda.)

whenever someone tells you they want you to read less, you should be suspicious of that. when someone tries to separate you and your education, you should be suspicious of that. i don't even like incel rhetoric nor would i want my kids exposed to it - but i would not take away my child's (age-appropriate) access to the internet. i would just provide more educational materials, not less. the difference here is that i believe we can resolve ignorance with knowledge; whereas conservatives believe that ignorance is bliss.

they misappropriate funding and demonize teachers. they pull the same trick each time - the same thing we are seeing with anti-trans rhetoric. they do not want you to have access to safe sex ed, so they act horrified, claim sex ed teaches you how to thrust deep, claim that we have no idea what "age-appropriate" means. since the mid-nineties, the united states has spent at least 2 billion dollars on abstinence-only education, even though to quote the above link: "a preponderance of studies has found no effect of abstinence education at reducing adolescent pregnancy". conservatives want you to think less of any person struggling with addiction so they can continue their racist "war on drugs", so they spend up to $750 million dollars a year on the DARE program which has absolutely no effect. acting like teachers "must" be "grooming" children is just the same thing - so they can demand that funding either goes to their causes or the funding doesn't "exist" ("i'm not paying for our kids to learn that thing!")

and they want you to feel uncaring about this. they are aware that you will hate some parts of your school experience. pretty much everyone does. they want to lean into the parts that you hate so that you don't put up a fight about it when they take it away for not being "good enough."

i know i maybe sound like a conspiracy theorist. but truly. truly. it is beneficial for conservatives to reduce your faith in the american public schooling system.

one of the explicitly stated campaign promises of the conservative party: to axe the Department of Education in 2024.

i know we are all tired and burnt out and there is so much else wrong with their entire platform. but maybe just - pay attention to this one.

Humans are scary to Cybertronians but in the way spiders are scary to people. They're small mostly harmless creatures and usually more scared of you but 1% of them can infact kill you will also be incredibly horrifying to look at.

We don't have enough fur to cover our skin, our mouth protrusions are so weird, have acid inside of us, and the fact we eat other organics is just so messed up.

The main reason the minecraft movie will inevitably flop is bc the general rule of thumb is that if you want the best video game adaptation, you need to cast Ella Purnell in it as a lead

Bc i genuinely think Arcane and Fallout probably are two of the best video game adaptations
