Is an immortal or spare allowed to earn up to two extra traits through graduation from university and the extra trait from a social group?
As I said in my post there are no other restrictions at this time. However, once a trait is chosen it is final. Just like all other traits. If you get the chance to change it through another social group or a second degree, you're not allowed.
Do smartphone photos count for museum? A smartphone seems to recognize themes for photos...
Smartphones use the photography skill just like the cameras from World Adventures. Photography skill books are now available for those that UL but don't have WA so the following ruling has been made.
Smartphone Photos are allowed as optional pieces to add to your museum value.
All WA owners who also own UL that receive the mid-grade camera in their inventories have two choices as soon as their founder is placed. You can sell the camera and then you use the cheat to set family funds to 1800 OR you never ever ever ever ever ever ever sell that camera.
Graduation only gives you one possible trait. Later diplomas only allow you to change that trait... which makes me wonder if we're allowed to change an heir's or immortal's extra traits from graduation or social groups.
Also, are we allowed to use the Science skill to make a clone of an original townie late in the game (say, for instance, Gunther Goth to act as 5th generation's spouse)?
We already allow cloning and with the science skill is no different. Just remember that the DNA sample may not actually work after the Sim has died. There is a member that is testing this and I probably will be myself soon enough. If you wanted to though, yes you could use Gunther as Gen 5's husband. Just remember that cloning using the science skill means that you are placing an infant into the household with no family connection. That means if you want him for Gen 5 - you'll need to have 1 slot for him for his entire life as well as the slot for gen 5. It's about juggling the space and later generations are the worst for that especially when all you really want them to do is die.
