The Sims 3 Immortal Dynasty Challenge

[CharlotteDaBookworm]

Okay, I need to go to China to regain my VISA I lost anyway.  I only lost one for her, My next Immortal only needs to age up and get his Portrait and Sculpture. Photographing seems to have bugged for me. 

Let me guess, you choose take a photo, take it but the sim just stands there for ages with the take photo option in the que. If so I've got it to.

That bug's hit my dynasty too, which was a shame. It was bringing in high value for the museum. But it's easy to live without.

Yup, I had to reset Joss because it wouldn't go through.

Two Questions

1. Are we able to add the in game pre built bars and clubs to Pleasant Valley, Twinbrook, Riverview, etc?

2. Is there a plan for the rules to be updated due to Generations coming out? ie specific lifetime rewards we can or cannot choose ie young again, clone voucher, etc?

Sorry if these have already been asked.

Yes. That's always been covered in the rules since Late Night was released.

2. Is there a plan for the rules to be updated due to Generations coming out? ie specific lifetime rewards we can or cannot choose ie young again, clone voucher, etc?

I have covered the new Generations things that reverse of freeze age — Age Freeze and Young Again are the two rewards banned in this event. Clone Voucher I have no problem with as long as the bloodline is maintained for immortals. Most of the other rewards I've seen I also do not have a problem with — Super Nanny, Motive Mobile, Inheritance, etc.

Metro, I had a question. I searched the Forum and found my answer. But I'm still a little unclear.
On Page 37, you told Pielord that Unlucky was banned* for the simple reason it could be exploited and make a spouse's life prolonged. I have a 3-part question:
1. If we pick a spouse that has the Unlucky trait, but we were unaware that said spouse had the Unlucky trait, what should we do?
2. Immortals are pretty much forbidden to have the Unlucky trait, right?
3. And if we were to have an heir, who did not do well in school, didn't get their Toddler training, whatever, and had the Unlucky trait randomly assigned, how would we continue?

*Well, not banned, but disallowed.

@Seabody:

The thing is, if you're trying to use the Unlucky trait to extend the life of the spouse by triggering an accident, you can't do that.  However, if your spouse already had the trait and you don't try to exploit it, I see no problem.  It's all about your intentions.  Same with the toddler getting the trait.  If you're not deliberately using a strategy that exploits the Unlucky trait, you're fine.  So, I say don't worry about it in your situation.  I'm pretty sure you're not trying to use the exploit and it's showing up in places out of your control.

[Metropolis Man]

I agree with Pam, Seabody.

Metro, my Fourth Gen is doing the Logic Side of things and I noticed that there is a new Skill Challenge from Generations, it's about finding all the Potions. Is that one optional or do we have to do it? It's not amazingly hard it just takes a while and I want to know so I can plan the order I takem them on.

This may seem like a dumb question.. but how do you exactly place, say, Waylon's Haunt in Sunset Valley? Because there are no free lots of that size?

The one next to the lake (I think Stoney Falls) is big enough. Or you could add your own lots. Waylon's Haunt and The Grind are the only lots I think can actually fit into Sunset Valley lots.

[TheChronicR]

So we can add our own lots? Darn that was so simple, should have figured out. Thanks Gogo!

[Schipperke]

When I was playing my Clan Douglas Dynasty, I placed three of the clubs on the Pinochle Point road.  I had Waylon's place, the vampire lounge and one other.  Sorry, I don't remember the names of the bars - I uninstalled LN and it's been a while since I had those venues in my game.  I don't remember if I had to put in new lots or not.

[TheChronicR]

Are we allowed to replace existing free lots with bigger ones? Because I could only fit three, like Schip? And it says take advantage of new content from LN, I mean, the other bars are new content too, right?

[Dagger]

Clone Voucher I have no problem with as long as the bloodline is maintained for immortals.

Would the new Clone count as a generation? Because that might be a very cool thing to do to have 1 original and 7 clones? It's got the sci fi nerd in me thinking of stories to tell.
