The Sims 3 Life States Dynasty Challenge

Metro, we need your decision on this.

I thought I'd had the same problem before. No worries, I'll just finish this attempt. Might give them a rest for a while.

[Metropolis Man]

Given the ruling I made in the past I do not have much choice here. Go back to a previous save for a HOF attempt, sunshine_2406, or continue as is for a non-HOF attempt. It's your choice. But, I am also letting you know that this is indeed player error and I probably will not be as lenient again, so please be careful in the future. Thank you, Trip and Nutella.

Thanks Metro, I'll definitely remember to check the household in the future.

One of those annoying social jig mats has popped up in front of the diner entrance, any chance I can have permission to get rid of it as it disrupts the routing into the building?

Wish I knew what caused them because they are annoying and I'm sure some of them contribute to routing lag, if it's a community lot I buy it to remove them but can't do that with a building lot.

Sure.

I was just about to buy my Vampire the Immortal LTR but thankfully I realised before I did she can't have it yet, but if it's the very last requirement is it okay to buy it then as it essentially finishes them all at the same time as freezing her age?

I know I read this about have first child before now, if it's the last requirement you can use it, and I see Rica mentions that wish in her post, so I assume the same ruling applies for Immortal but I prefer confirmation rather than trusting my assumptions.

@Turoskel

Yes, it is ok.  Confirmed by the boss himself.

Heirs cannot extend life until all the requirements are completed, so for the Immortal LTR -- I would say if the LTR is the very last of your requirement, then it would be ok.  If you purchase the LTR before all the other requirements are done, then you are breaking the rules. 

I agree. The purchasing of the Immortal LTR would need to coincide with finishing all requirements to allow life extension for an heir.

Thank you 

My first time really playing a vamp, the rate she learns stuff is alarming and to cap it all she also rolled the athletic trait like her father, and disciplined, one and a half sparring matches put her to level 4 athletic hence the half match as I made her stop, are they always like that?

Thankfully she rolled virtuoso at young adult giving me something else to work with and her a safer obsession than exercise. But it messed me up for skill objects as I daren't let her near a board breaker, she'd probably max athletic before she got seven gems  This is faster than an Immortal dynasty but so much harder to plan for with all the randomness.

With a vamp in the house you'll need to put everything behind locked doors or gates because this is what it's always been like for me. Give him all the instruments if you can and get rid of tvs and radios to prevent unexpected workouts. I couldn't even let mine go to parties, on dates, or to the beach unsupervised.

[Trip]

Yes, all vamps born in-game are like that. Sims who are born as something else but later turned into a vampire have faster skilling, but not nearly to that extent. It does suck when you have challenges like this, but KRae's setup sounds good.

[Turoskel]

Yes I think I shall, actually I did do that earlier but then my game crashed, I shall do so once again though, she learnt all her instruments in minutes, I let her get to level 9 then stopped her on them all as I wanted her to roll the wishes to max them which she wasn't doing as she learnt so fast, but I found if I had her learn the song books she didn't skill with those and they seemed to prompt the max skill wish, unfortunately found this out after she'd already maxed drums and piano. Still getting 5k in tips is also worth 5k in happiness 

I think I'll let her do photography for her skill item now then, she can take pics of her family before I move some of them out. My one regret is one man band wasn't in her lifetime wish choices, no music related ones were, she could have finished it in a couple of hours. When she's done she can go in stasis like her father I think, I am loving those hibernation chambers, so glad they are allowed in this challenge after requirements are done, I'm playing with ITF but they work without it too which is great.

EDIT: Oh my god! she took one picture that didn't even come out properly and reached level 9 photography, vampires are crazy

I've just had a pretty weird thing happen in my game, the Lobos family (minus Marisol who had died) moved out of town but Anita phoned up one of my sims and asked him on a date, out of curiosity I accepted, she showed up on the street outside my house and just stood there for over a day, couldn't interact with her and no name showed up when I moused over her.

When I restarted the game after clearing my caches she was still there but now called Jenelle Lau and I could interact with her, so I had my founder go out say hello then threw a potent friendship at her, but I see she now has a new name but no traits, It's definitely Anita though, she's wearing clothes I dressed her in myself after she aged up with the ITF sticking up hair so I gave her a makeover.

She was on my radar for future spouse before they left town, if I used her now though would she have to stay with no traits?

I have another human I can use instead but it seemed too good a chance to pass up getting to know the new Anita, I guess the game deleted her info but not what she looked like so just gave her a new name. Perhaps it's a sims witness protection program or something

Since she isn't in your household yet, how do you know she has no traits?
