The Sims 3 Immortal Dynasty Challenge

Well, the young again potion actually takes them back to YA! I just meant to skip backwards to adult not young adult lol. Whoops. 

Trigger Age Transition, then!

[Esther1981]

Haha good idea!!

There is only one community plot that came with Generations.  It was a big park for the kiddies with all the new stuff in it.  Is it safe to add it ? 

This would require using Edit Town, so no.  You can add the new things to properties that your Dynasty family owns, however, because it doesn't require using Edit Town.

You didn't test this in your real Dynasty, did you?  Except, you're not going for Hall of Fame, so it wouldn't really matter.

[Esther1981]

Yes Pam I did. Penny is no longer an elder lol. I seriously thought it would take her back to an adult! Now her daughter is older than her mother!

With Generations released now, are we allowed to let our dynasty children have imaginary friends or do we have to lock up the doll that comes in the mail and not use it? 

How about if you don't make them real - is it okay then?

Unless someone can give me a strong argument NOT to allow Imaginary Friends I see no reason to ban them. Would they in any way be breaking any Dynasty rules? I don't think so.

Metro - I view them as a friend that moved in, simply that friend is in child stage. As far as I know, Sims cannot woohoo with them nor they can have Imaginary children. So to say, they are a bit like SimBots. But, they do not have extended lifespan or special functions - again - as far as I know.

Ummm... just a question... When people move in Agnes Crumplebottom at the beginning, and build a lavish house, How do they do it? If you move her in, It just gives you 20,000

Agnes has a very expensive car. The case is, to get it, you must invite her somewhere so that it will sit in her inventory. When stolen with the Kleptomaniac trait it costs only 6,000$, but when you sell it "legally" through Agnes' inventory, it costs the full price - 80,000$. In addition to the 20,000$ it makes a sweet 100K simoleons.

That would be great!  One question, though.  Do imaginary friends take up a space in the household (i.e., have a thumbnail and able to be controlled) or are they more like butlers where you can interact with them but they do not show up as part of the household?  It's more of a logistical question - particularly later in a dynasty when spaces in the house are at a premium.

Another question - is their lifespan in any way linked to the lifespan of the child they 'belong' to?  For example, if an immortal heir has an imaginary friend, will the imaginary friend keep aging and eventually die or will their life stage reset when the heir eats ambrosia?  If their lifespan mirrors that of the person they belong to then I would think it would not be a good idea to give an heir an imaginary friend, given the prohibition on moving household members out or killing them off.

For now, Katluvr, I do not have a lot of answers for you on Imaginary Friends. Let's see what some other players say.

[TheChronicR]

Esther informs that her first Imaginary friend turned into a child-sized version only when it was put on the ground. I think she can help you, Metro.

[Esther1981]

I can confirm the doll grew into a child-size "doll" after the toddler grew into a child and after it was taken out of the inventory and placed on the ground. It doesn't take up a household slot, but I'm sure it would if it was turned into a real sim. Unfortunately, I started playing my Dynasty after that, so I can't confirm if it ages up past childhood.

[TallStar]

I might be able to answer that.
I heard somewhere that if the relationship bar is high enough, the imaginary friend will stay with your sim as they age. They can also perform romantic interactions with them, so I figure they grow past the child stage.
I hope that helps somehow.

[Metropolis Man]

Wow. Freaky and cool at the same time.
