The original plan was to restart the dynasty until the wish enhancing serum appeared in the alchemy shop first try. Ultimately, I decided not to do this because like my previous attempts, I can just have non-immortals buy everything I need. He was willing to send me a couple of his elixirs though which really came in handy. The Midas Touch in particular completely eliminated any money woes for the entire dynasty just by turning multiple copies of Ambiguity Itself into gold and selling them.
Day one consisted of Jack going directly to Jaycen Hendrix's home to recruit him. He's better than Agnes because he brings a Marguet Vaguester to your home instead of the speedster. I had not received the elixirs from Rica yet so getting him to best friend was a matter of spamming the silly face over and over again. He's childish, you see. Once I got him to best friend, Jack went home, invited Jaycen over, recruited him, sold the Marguet Vaguester and that is both sim's lifetime wish complete. Both sims used the happiness points to buy Motive Mobiles for themselves.
Next, I bought Jack a megaphone and started a protest on unskilled sims at the park. A lot of skilling was about to happen so Jack and Jaycen really needed that boost. It was a success and Jack was off to the library to max the Social Networking, Cooking, and Gardening skills while Jaycen maxed Cooking to do the Culinary career, Painting, and Fishing to catch some Deathfish. During this time, the dynasty house and museum were built and the immortal jail was set up. After Jaycen maxed cooking, he went and joined the Culinary career. When Jack was done with his library skilling, he had his young adult portrait painted by Jaycen. Brain enhancing machines were used to speed up Jaycen's skilling progress. The reason Jack is maxing cooking is because although I'm leaving cooking open for all immortals, Jack is going to be the unofficial chef of the family. Spamming jokes with a rebel allowed Jack to get a 6th trait. I chose Natural Cook for that.
Here's where it gets interesting. Social Networking allows the user to summon sims with whatever age, gender, traits, and even astrological sign, he or she desires. Because Jack can easily summon 6 sims and use the relationship transmogrifier to instantly turn them into best friends with anyone he wants, it was a no-brainer to supermax this first so that the Evans can completely ignore the best friend requirement until a generation hits elder. Two of the challenges are easy enough, summon 25 sims with the sim finder app to get... absolutely nothing because the reward is bugged. Another challenge is to change the relationship of 30 sims to romantic interest or boyfriend/girlfriend to get the best friends forever option... which also doesn't exist because the challenge is bugged. There is one challenge though that is basically the new Guitar Star and that's the sell 5 blogs challenge. When you make a blog, you have to make posts to get followers. Getting followers increases the quality of your blog and gets you perks. At 4 stars, you
randomly get an offer to sell your blog. This is the issue, this can either take 2 days or it could take weeks to sell a single blog once you hit the requirement. To even get followers at a respectable pace, you need to trigger a "Gotta Blog" moodlet repeatedly to get a guaranteed amazing post for 30-70 followers. The method I used was repeatedly changing the relationship of Jack's friends to stranger, then friend, then good friend, then best friend. Each new stage of friendship triggers the "Gotta Blog" moodlet for a personal blog. Because of how long it could potentially take to sell a blog, supermaxing this skill first is a gamble for a founder. Jack only had 3 days left until elder before he finally sold his fifth blog.
Social Networking does not have any opportunties whatsoever though. This is why Jack joined the Business career. The career offers tons of opportunties for him to complete and because no other sim can max the career, the BlackOps are pretty much guaranteed to be his and his alone. You may notice that one of the opportunties is a street art op. Jack had only eight days left before turning into an adult and he still had not gotten offer to sell his 5-star blog. I was beginning to worry so I started spraying ground murals in an attempt to change his supermax to Street Art. Needless to say, he got his offer when Jack hit level 6 in the skill. Street Art is still up for grabs and as long as Jack never has the street art kit in his inventory, there's no danger of failing the dynasty due to multiple level 10 street artists.
When Jack had hit adult, he summoned a young adult wife with the worst random outfit I have ever seen on a sim by using the sim finder app. Using the transmogrifier, he immediately married her and had kids. Something unexpected happened though, she gave birth to twins. It wasn't that big of a deal, it just means that I have a spare who is probably gonna spend the rest of his life locked in his own jail cell once he hits young adult. I might get him a fine arts degree and make him do the Culinary career though. The moodlet from the fridge affects babies so it would go great in the nursery.
When Jack hit elder, all he had to do was update his best friends list so that it contains sims who are actually alive, get his picture painted for the last time, and then it's ambrosia time. Towards the end, I had bought Jack an Honorary Degree in business so that I could give him a 7th trait, Over-Emotional. Jack will not be needed outside of the Sim Finder app and Relationship Transmogrifier app so he will now be locked in the jail cell.
