The Sims 3 Life States Dynasty Challenge

[tirajm]

So the Sim I have in mind for my founder's future spouse ended up with a pet puppy.  Can I still marry her if I put the puppy up for adoption right afterwards?  Or would it be okay for me to keep the puppy?  (Not for any strategic reasons - I just feel really guilty about the idea of giving the puppy away.)

[Nutella]

No restrictions on Pets.

[tirajm]

Okay, thanks!

My Bonehilda has gone rogue, I dismissed her after my sim had her baby because she just blocks the crib and never actually picks the child up, next morning she was back blocking the crib again when I never called her out, so I tried to dismiss her and nothing happens, reset sim doesn't seem to work on her either.

I couldn't sell her coffin because it's in use and I couldn't get her to move away from the baby who needed changing  So I turned on move objects and sold the coffin hoping she might vanish, well that failed so I restarted after clearing caches and now I have a Bonehilda I can't interact with at all, no coffin and a screaming baby.

Can I please reload my last save from before this all happened?

[Sherry]

could the 'testingcheats' be used in the case above? to delete object (boney)?

[Trip]

Does a global resetsim * not help either?

[Turoskel]

Sherry, that solution worries me slightly, she is pretty much a sim in a costume and deleting sims corrupts games 

Trip, I didn't even think of that *kicking self now* I just tried it and yes it worked, don't know why I didn't think of a global reset, going to hire a maid now instead, thank you

I just want to check something about vacation allowance before I make a final decision on gen two's lifetime wish, basically she rolled some rather unhelpful traits when it comes to her goals, absent minded, brave, adventurous, frugal and dramatic.

So her choices are:

Great Explorer (6 tombs each location)
Made the most of my time (playing with ITF)
Seasoned Traveler (level 3 visa each location)
Firefighter Hero ( I didn't add a firestation  plus she's a mermaid, fighting fires? she'd dry up in seconds)
Alchemy Artisan ( can't choose this as her mother did the 50 elixir challenge)

So I'm left with travel ones to choose from, she has 14 days, 7 of her own and 7 her mother didn't use, if her child doesn't use any will she be able to use any leftover days going forward or does it only roll over for the next gen?

I have no idea what career I shall give her either  if I had a film studio dramatic might have worked for that but I didn't add that either, I've tried to stick to the minimum lots possible but it's come back to haunt me now. I'm still cursing her genius, eccentric older sister for not being the heir, would have made all this much easier 

[Trip]

You actually can do Alchemy Artisan without throwing a single elixir; a quirk of that LTW is that elixirs drank by your sim count towards it, but not towards the related skill challenge.

You don't need to complete LTWs in this dynasty, so I'd just close my eyes and pick blindly in your case. I had to do that for my third generation; she got some University-related LTW that I had no intention of completing.

[Turoskel]

Do they really, that is interesting then, her mother just had it as a second skill for challenges and because it's useful, as you have to actively finish them reading recipe books, making lots of potions or throwing them I might do that then.

I'm trying hard to avoid travel if possible because of the bugs, I have had a nightmare with this challenge and glitches, could barely get past two weeks with my equestrian genie before locking up and crashing to desktop, on a fresh install too, so I reverted to a witch again and disabled showtime and pets, so far so good and I'd like to keep it that way as long as possible.

Thanks for that info Trip, it's been most useful 

[Turoskel]

Sorry for the double post but it's been a while and this might get missed if I edit.

Can I please have permission to move the Riverview diner forward on it's lot a little?

The back of the diner only has one tile of path and I constantly find stuck sims there who exited by the back door, I'm not sure if it's the large air conditioning vent on the back of the building that blocks them or what, it never used to happen but now it happens constantly, I just reset three sims and three more came out the back not two minutes later and got stuck again, my own sims get stuck there sometimes as well.

I'd just like to shift it a tile or two forward to give them more space to move, I've done that in other games and it seems to fix it.

Yes.

Thank you

I want to give this a shot, but I have a couple questions.  I just got into the future, and I am loving the content.  The problem is whenever my sims get a phone call for an opportunity they just do that uninterested animation and hang up.  I was wondering if anyone knew of a way that fixed that.  Also, the list of careers or the edit town section doesn't seem to be updated, and I was wondering if you could add the into the future rabbit holes into your world for the astronomy and bot careers.  Also, do the new skills get certificates and what career awards are associated with the new careers.

@christinal3106

The only fix for the phone call opp bug is play without into the future xpac.  You can uninstall the xpac or use simgameselector to unselect the xpac.  Into the Future specific buildings cannot be added to your home town, if you choose to play with that xpac, you will need to travel to the future to get access to those career / professions.
