The Sims 3 Life States Dynasty Challenge

@KRae Thanks for the response. I was wondering if going back to the previous save and then traveling again would result in the same problem. Ugh, either way, super-frustrating, the kid's practically done.

Wait for official word from a moderator before doing anything.

It's worth a try. Try the previous save first.

@dontmindme , I've had the worst luck traveling with an Imaginary Friend. Is this the sim's life state? If so I just would avoid travel.

[dontmindme]

@KRae He's a drowning ghost so nope. His mother (another ghost) and great-grandpa (another ghost) managed to travel without any problems, though they did travel with a second person. Hmm, might try that.

I remember @hazelnut saying something about how traveling with ghosts was buggy in her dynasty. I didn't do it enough myself to notice any issues.

Mentioning her to see if we can get any advice.

Yes, I've definitely had trouble travelling with just a ghost.  Taking along a normal human Sim seems to fix the problem.

So, Gen 5 in my game is a werewolf and gen 6 is a werewolf/electrocution ghost.  Am I allowed to have gen 6 forsake his werewolf powers, since it's not the actual life state for that generation?

[Trip]

So, I poured through the rules and technically it's fine, as it can be changed without using a life state-changing elixir.

But I also want a second opinion on this.

A silly question, perhaps, but would one of those logic skill ghost potions used on the werewolf Gen 5 ensure any offspring is a ghost of some kind? Would that be useful as a backup if you can't go the foresaking werewolf by Gen 6 route?

Additionally, I just randomly rolled the traits for a sim, and got the following: Social Butterfly, Bookworm, Avant Guarde, Nurturing and Hopeless Romantic. After I started playing him, I thought that would be great traits for a starting life states dynasty sim. Anyway, so those sorts of traits are possible with a random trait roll.

No, it wouldn't guarantee it - my seventh generation (human) was the product of a ghost and a vampire who'd taken a ghost potion. But my game hates ghost babies (I've only ever had two), so you might be luckier than me.

Wasn't even thinking about that, actually, just that the transformations are getting kind of annoying and didn't want to deal with it anymore.  So no big deal either way.

Hi, guys, so I gave my heir the 5k wish of Make 5000 selling photographs. So, he took a bunch of pictures worth 7k and sold them from the camera. His photography career registered the sale but the wish did not. So, um, can I count it?

[mysteriousways143]

Can we choose a Lifetime Wish that pops up before or do we have to wait and choose from the wishes that come up at young adult?

[Trip]

Either is fine, but I tend to like the selection at Young Adulthood better because the suggested LTRs during their youth get...predictable. And I'm okay with throwing a wrench into things on occasion.
