Immortal Dynasty or DecaDynasty?

[SecretBoy]

I'm actually going for a DecaDynasty, start tomorrow night. If anyone wants to change my mind before that.

Rachel,

Marion's right.  I meant my own comments. It's only just occurred to me that it was ambiguous.  Sorry.

Thank you for this topic. I was leaning on the Pinstar Legacy because it's very structured and while I am new to that it'll help me ease into a dynasty challenge. But this has made me reconsider... I'm such a sap for my sims and I think the idea of keeping with a whole line of the same group actually suits better Also I like Fez' idea of keeping it fun by changing each generation; do dramatic differences between sims - it 'd also help in getting to know professions I've overlooked in preference of what I know. Plus 10 generations requires a longevity of patience I highly doubt I process (which why an ID will be just as challenging).

EDIT: Changed DecaDynasty to Legacy.

The Decadynasty is the forums own Metropolis Man's brainchild Piinstar created the legacy challange.

Yes, please don't get into the habit of calling it Pinstar's DecaDynasty.  Oh my, no.  Both the Immortal Dynasty and the Townie DecaDynasty belong to our Forum and were written by our Administrator/Moderator Metropolis.  Pinstar over on the official Sims 3 forum wrote the legacy challenge, which is hosted on our Forum at all.

Oh I'm sorry - I should have said I'm doing Pinstar's Legacy Challenge. I meant no offence to anyone (especially Metroman) for assuming that because the legacy challenge had 10 generations it was a DecaDynasty. As I said I'm new to the dynasty stuff. Sorry all! Silly me *sorry smile*

It's just a legacy, no dynasty there. Don't worry, I got confused with it as well. Just remember the dynasty stuff is by Metro on our forum - Like, anything with "dynasty" in it.

Oh, ah ha! Right will go re-edit my post. I'm such a spaz! Thanks Fez.

It seems like the DecaDynasty is more better because they have less restrictions (?)

[ratchie]

First of all more better is gramatically incorrect. Something can be better but not more better.

Both the immortal dynasty and decadynasty have restrictions.In the immortal dynasty you are not allowed to move anyone out but you can choose a spouse from the townies,NPCs and tourists. In the decadynasty you can move people out but you must only marry a townie which can be difficult. Also decadynasty families can use the young again potion and age freeze ltw plus all the other age altering devices. I would just like to point out that when the immortal dynasty was created the young again potion and age freeze LTW did not exist and the immortal dynasty is all about making ambrosia and staying alive by the eating of the ambrosia.

Ratchie, darling, I love you. There you are pointing out that "more better" is not correct to SecretBoy, yet you get punctuation wrong most of the time. No offense, honey, but you just cracked me up!

Hi, Secretboy! I joined this forum , because I fell in love with this clever concept of a Townie Deca-Dynasty. Funnily enough, once I started reading here, I found myself totally enthralled with the older concept of Immortal Dynasties. I simply thought: "... and what is so wrong with starting with Metro's first creation?" It's done a lot for me, I tell you, and I'm going to start up a second immortal dynasty. Why? Simply, for the pure joy of sharing a story with the community here.
When I've done that, I'll be happy to move on to Man's second creation. Saying all that, you don't have to mind me. I'm a little OCD.

[ratchie]

Yes,I can do grammar but punctuation is not my strong point the thing is half the time I don't know what I am doing wrong so I cannot correct it.
I have improved though I do use full stops and capital letters now.

Ratchie,  that's great! Comma's next?
It's like this... if you talk to a person, you pause for a split second, you want to take a breath, then, you talk some more.

[Odinsdottir]

I decided to do an Immortal Dynasty because I would have a chance to watch the characters develop and grow in more detail, and wouldn't have a revolving door of sims my head!

[Ricalynn]

More better is not good grammar. A lack of proper punctuation...ahem... is not good grammar either.
But that is not the point of this topic, is it?

Secretboy.
In an Immortal Dynasty, everything boils down to making good art. In a Townie Deca-Dynasty, everything boils down to making the best collection of precious items, before you have to move house. That is... if you are interest in making a score.
Why not start at the beginning? Metro's cleverly devised Immortal Dynasty came first. He created the Townie Deca Dynasty much later. I think, it compliments the achievements one can make after completing the mad art circus of the first challenge.

SimBlip - Thanks for the info but Secretboy hasn't been an active member for out community in a while so he probably won't see this.
