The Sims 4 Immortal Dynasty Challenge

[Metropolis Man]

The Sims 4 Immortal Dynasty Challenge



Goal
Through patience and hard work you come to discover the recipe for Ambrosia. Are you destined to keep this recipe a secret and never pass it down? Of course not. You are to create a Dynasty. But, know this — tasting Ambrosia and the power it offers is not for the weak. You and your descendants must earn the right to eat Ambrosia. Each of you must accomplish eight requirements. Your ultimate goal is to have eight blood-related Sims under one roof and to preserve their Dynasty forever with a valuable Family Museum. The road will be a hard one, but Ambrosia’s prize is — immortality.

Creating Your Founder
Before creating your new game file, you must patch up to the most current EA patch. You must also stay current on patches for the entirety of the file.

Choose New Game and create a single Young Adult. Gender, Aspiration, and Traits are all player choice (except Bodybuilder — this Aspiration is banned for all household members). Before you start your game you need to verify... CAS Story Mode is BANNED

Options
All Gameplay Options need to remain at default settings: Autonomy (Full); Lifespan (Normal); Fill Empty Homes (must be checked)
Seasons
Length of seasons is the player's choice. No more than 1 holiday per week, 8 scheduled holidays per year, pop-ups allowed. Extreme weather is the player's choice, but rain and snow must be allowed, and the effects on Sims must be allowed.
Lifestyles: Players Choice
Whims
Show Whims MUST be enabled
Get Famous
Fame System: Players Choice

Lot Choice and Manage Worlds

Whichever world you end up choosing your choice is permanent — no moving after you set foot on your dynasty lot. Prebuilt houses or downloaded lots from someone else are not allowed. You must take care of all building and expansion yourself. Opting for the “no build/outdoors” route is also fine.  With the addition of Newcrest, you are allowed to place "MAXIS CREATED" buildings (commercial and residential) in your dynasty.  Go into the gallery, look under "My Library", the official maxis created buildings/houses will be in there.  You can also find more Maxis creation under "Community", with EA Account ID = Maxis.

The Landgraabs are such an important family in Sims history, so if you’d like to move them into another home before you begin playing, that’s fine. After you have bulldozed their lot and return to Live mode, go to Manage Worlds > Save and Manage Worlds, then go to the top right screen and select Household Management. Click the Unplayed Households tab and select the Landgraabs, then Move Household into a Lot and make your selection.  Any sims that were originally living on a dynasty lot may be placed elsewhere.

• Strangerville: Request for Life Extension is BANNED

Becoming Immortal and Ambrosia Requirements    Ambrosia Guide
Eating Ambrosia is the sole privilege for your Founder and Heirs who reach the Elder stage and is the only allowed method of extending life for these special Sims. Household members cannot complete the Bodybuilder Aspiration, use Potions of Youth, Essence of Life (from cowplant), Book of Life (from writing skill), Plead with the Grim Reaper to save a dying sim, or use any other interaction to demand a sim's life back, use Age-Away Serum, wish for Youthful Vigor from the wishing well, or any other methods of extending life.  Before eating Ambrosia for the first time your Founder and Heirs must complete the following eight requirements:

1. Max one career no other Heir has maxed.  (Qualified Careers List)
2. Complete two Adult Aspirations no other Heir has completed.
3. Max three Adult skills (5 level skills do not qualify). These do not need to be unique.
4. Purchase four rewards not bought by other Heirs.
5. Get five gold medals for parties and dates — all five must be a different type. Qualifying types of events are:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

• House Party
• Date
• Birthday Party
• Ghastly/Spooky Party
• Dinner Party
• Venue Party
• Wedding Party
• Incognito Party
• Weenie Roast
• Party at a Friend's House
• Toddler Playdates
• Fan Meet and Greets
• Kava Party
• Keg Party
• Mountain Excursion

6. Have six Good Friends at the time of eating Ambrosia for the first time. Other Heirs can share these Good Friends except one needs to be a unique B.F.F (ask to be Best Friends). This B.F.F cannot be a Good Friend or B.F.F to any other Heir. Don’t worry if friendships deteriorate after Ambrosia has been eaten. Please make your best efforts to have your six Good Friends outside the household. This may be impossible later in your Dynasty if much of the town has died.
7. Each Heir needs to complete seven Unique Wants.
8. Contribute eight items** to your Immortal Dynasty Family Museum.  The museum must be placed on your dynasty lot.  Each Heir’s Dynasty Museum’s items need to be of a unique type, must be placeable, and either created or collected. So, for example, the Founder may contribute paintings, so Heir #1 would not be able to contribute paintings but may opt for Woodworking items. Also, items each Heir contributes do not need to be unique themselves — for example, Heir #3 contributes eight frogs to the museum. All eight could be the exact same type of frog— but no other Heirs could contribute frogs. It's really important to understand that each heir must put in all the work for their collection items. Qualifying items for the Museum include:

Challenge Team member LenaLJ worked up a nice Sims 4 Immortal Dynasty Spreadsheet to keep everyone organized. Thank you, Lena.

Challenge Team member sdhoey has a Sims 4 Collections spreadsheet to help keep track of your collections in one easy to find place.

Finishing Up and the Immortals’ Museum
After your Founder and the next seven generations have each contributed their eight items** to the Immortal Family Museum, you can add up the value of these 64 objects. You can call it your final “score” if you wish, but Dynasty challenges are not about competition or placing high in a world ranking — that role is filled by the Tournament Challenges. Dynasties are relaxed and everyone is encouraged to share strategies and tips throughout their journeys.

**Players can increase the value of their Immortal Family Museum by having an heir contribute six additional museum items (for a total of 14 of a given type) if the heir maxes all five of their toddler's skills, completes a Childhood Aspiration, Completes Scouts and/or Drama Club and gets an A in school (as a Child and a Teen).

You are finished with the Sims 4 Immortal Dynasty Challenge when your Founder and the next seven generations have all finished their eight requirements for eating Ambrosia. Congratulations! The Sims 4 Dynasty Hall of Fame is eligible for all players who complete a Dynasty and follow Dynasty rules. As with the Tournament Challenges, we are all on the honor system here. The Challenge Team reserves the right to make inquiries and we can request to see a copy of your save file.


The team is always here to answer your questions, and we hope you have fun with the Sims 4 Immortal Dynasty Challenge. Good luck!

-- 1. You can keep them on your lot and deal with the ghosts.

January. 13, 2015
Added:
Outdoor Retreat Pack Update:

New Patch Update:

There will be no new requirements added to the rules.  We will not be adding portraits as a requirement by itself, however you can paint portraits and add them to museum (under paintings category).

March 31,2015
Added:

Max three Adult skills (photography does not qualify). These do not need to be unique.

You can level photography for fun, or for museum items, but the skill itself does not qualify to be one of the three max skills.  The team feels that it would be too easy to allow photography to count since this skill max at 5


March 31, 2015

Meaks  (form homestyle/gourmet/baking/cooking skill)

This is for the museum, all the meals cook by the 3 different skills will be counted as one category only (Meals).

Your 7th generation firstborn must be a female. She will need to become pregnant without adding a spouse to the household to bring in the 8th and final immortal.

With the new patch, we can influence baby gender using strawberry + pop music, the CAS cheat is removed from the ruleset.

June 21, 2015

Starting Lot Changes:

Willow Creek -- Oakenstead (you'll need to move in to any empty lot then use your phone to move household and bulldoze lot).
Oasis Springs -- Landgraab Affluista Mansion (you'll need to move in to any empty lot then use your phone to move household, evict Landgraabs, and bulldoze lot).
Newcrest -- Twin Oracle Point

All Immortal Dynasty players need to begin their game with $10,000.   If you have more than $10000 starting funds, use money cheat to bring it down.

Press Command-Shift-C to open the cheat console
Type testingcheats on, then Return/Enter
Type Money 10000, then Return/Enter
Type testingcheats off, then Return/Enter
Press Command-Shift-C to close the cheat console

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Willow Creek and Oasis Springs still have the same starting lot, we just removed the specific empty lot you have to buy before moving.

Newcrest is added to this dynasty, while you still can't add other buildings in Newcrest, you can start your dynasty there and build your retail lot there too if you wish.

Money cheat is added to the rule, this is mainly for players that want to start in Newcrest.  Since Newcrest lot is slightly smaller, your starting funds will not be the same, hence money cheat comes in to balance everyone's starting funds.  This also allows flexibility for future world with non 50X50 lot, thank you @ratchie for bringing this to our attention. 

July 20, 2015

07/20 NEW RULING:

The team came together and also decided that players are allowed to placed "MAXIS CREATED" buildings in their game.  When you go into gallery, look under "My library", you will see 32 buildings (hopefully I counted that right).  These buildings are approved to be placed in your dynasty game.

Rules Update:

Carved Pumpkins added to Qualifying items list for the Museum.

October 06,2015

Changes:

-- 3. You can carry around the grave in inventory and essentially never deal with it at all.
-- 4. You can release spirit to the netherworld and essentially removing the Sim from the game, their grave marker will vanish.

Can I use the book of life to cure negative moodlets?  Can I use the book of life for museum contribution?
-- Yes to both.  You cannot use the book of life to extend life, but you can use the book of life to cure negative moodlets and you can write the book of life and contribute it to the museum for requirements.

Can I place prebuilt buildings or houses?
-- Yes and no.  Only official MAXIS-created buildings (found in your library) can be placed in your dynasty.  Prebuilt buildings or houses created by the community is not allowed.

-- No.  You must wait until the elder stage before eating Ambrosia, even if you completed all the requirements.

Can I purchase Angelfish and Deathflowers for Ambrosia?
-- Yes and No ---- No, Angelfish must be caught via fishing by your sim. Yes, the Deathflower can be purchased but it must be planted as a seed and grown in the garden.

Ohh, I am torn! Should I continue with my legacy or start a dynasty that's the question....

I will do both

[dethdukk]

I'm doing a combination for a bit of fun...  using all of the rules from the Dynasty challenge, but with the house rule that I have to use the trait generator from the legacy challenge.  Good luck everyone!

• School-aged Heirs cannot miss school.

I thought this got removed?  I do see the rule about needing the aspiration and the grade both for extra museum peices got added.

[simfulicious]

Kids don't have to get an A if you don't want the extra museum pieces, but they still have to go to school everyday.

[Nutella]

Simfulicious is correct.

"Prebuilt houses or downloaded lots from someone else are not allowed. You must take care of all building and expansion yourself."

To clarify: are rooms downloaded from the exchange, or the ones that come with the game, allowed to be used?

[Nutella]

Rooms downloaded from the exchange -- Allowed
Rooms that come with the game -- Allowed

I am definitely NOT a quitter!  So, despite the challenge of having to save more frequently than usual in order to not lose things with my constant crashes, Holly Thyme is going to build her dynasty!  It will probably take a gazillion more time to do this but I am nothing if not persistent, (read: stubborn), so wish me luck.

Rooms downloaded from the exchange -- Allowed

As long as there is no potential for players to tweak rooms to the point where Dynasty players would have an unfair advantage by using someone's tricked out room I am okay with it
