The Sims 3 Life States Dynasty Challenge

[Metropolis Man]

No restrictions on Pets in my eyes.

Agreed.

[Audren]

Okay. I assumed it'd work like it did for the Immortal Dynasty, but I wanted to double-check. Thanks!

Is this challenge able to be completed with only the Base Game installed, as with the Immortal Dynasty? I have most expansions so really I am just curious. You would have a whole lot of ghosts!
I'm noticing that with only base game, there are not enough available skills that produce items that can be used as the 7 required items for each generation.

Right. You need more than the base game for this Dynasty. There are not enough different types of ghosts in the base game and I felt the number 7 was so crucial to the whole theme of this event.

777 Unluckiest number in existence.

For a vampire Heir, can we use Immortal as a unique reward even though it extends life before we're technically allowed to?

[fortheloveofcake]

Thats what I figured. I think with Base Game + one or two others it is doable.

Once you complete all 7 requirements, then you can extend life for an heir however you want to. So, just make that reward the last thing you have to do for your vampire and then you would qualify for it anyway.

@Metro and Rica,do you have to be best friends with your supernatural best buddy when you bring in a new heir or do you just have had to have a supernatural best friend at some point.

@Rachel — here's the relevant rule. I put in bold the take home message:

Spouses/partners of heirs are free to come and go in the Dynasty house, as well as spares that did not turn out to be a different life state. However, heirs cannot be moved out. You may not bring in a new heir until the current heir accomplishes the 7 key things listed below. Important: these must all be in place concurrently when it’s time to add an heir.

So, if all 7 requirements are in place at the same time, then you can bring in an heir.

[ratchie]

Thanks Metro my brain must have glossed over that part.

Can drawings be counted separate from paintings for the mausoleum pieces?

[Ricalynn]

Can drawings be counted separate from paintings for the mausoleum pieces?

It's the same thing in my mind.  The difference is the tool you use to produce it.  So my answer is no unless Metro feels differently.   

[smartburn]

Darn! Oh well, I'm still glad I asked. Thanks!

Do pets' traits need to be randomized?

[Pam]

Do pets' traits need to be randomized?

Can that even be done?  It would have to be in CAS because we don't choose traits when pets age up.  I don't think a pet's traits would be relevant for this challenge, anyway.
