The Sims 3 Immortal Dynasty Challenge

[Pam]

I used gardening as supermax in everyone of my tries and it worked out really well for me. I had it supermaxed before I knew it and I was really surprised. The only thing I couldn't get to work was Gardening as a career it cost me two dynasties... Well good luck and the guide help me out a lot too!

The way to get gardening to work as a career is to grow money trees.  When you harvest the money bags, just slide them to the "sell" box in your Sim's personal inventory.

So that's not the cash in for money?

No you literally have to drag the money bags from the inventory slot to the sell slot for it work.  I've never been able to get it to work from cash in.

Okay that makes sense... Thanks for letting me know, you too Pam. Now I will less likely fail another dynasty

Oh wow, thanks for the info.    I have to say, I'm SO relieved after that!  So the WA plants weren't added to the super max of gardening?  That's odd, cause I had everything in my garden except the steak, death flower, life fruit, and omni plant, and it still said I only had 52% of the plants.  No big deal, really; I'm using gardening down the line for another immortal.  If I had Ambitions, I could make it his career, too, but business is a good one for gardeners.  They can max that career without learning any skills at all, so it's also a good choice later in the challenge.

As a side note, Union Cove is the most beautiful sim town I've ever played.  I downloaded it for the challenge, and I think I may never make a new game in any other town!  It's amazing, and wroth a little lagging at times.     I found myself just sitting there admiring the landscaping around the river and lakes.

It's a bit strange how it works, I admit.  The 52% is correct because your game is counting every plant available with all of the expansions you've added.  However, to complete the skill journal challenge, you must have a specific number of plants (19) which also happens to be the number of original plants in the base game.  No matter how many plants are available to you, that challenge only requires 19 plants.

I don't understand why you need approval for particular photographs.  I feel like I'm missing something here.

I think it's when you take a picture and it comes up with one of those whether that particular 'tag' is allowed for the photographs of an Immortal. As it doesn't directly say 'Spouse' or 'Housemate' .

[Metropolis Man]

Yeah, all of those should be okay, Margarita.

[Margerita]

I apologize Pam, early morning post brain not working right at the time.
But Samoth is right about what I was after.

[AdnaanA]

I was meaning to ask this for a long time; but can your 7 gen marry, and then kick the spouse out and then try for baby?

[samoht04]

No, you can't move anyone out ever in the Dynasty. Generation 7 has to go unmarried for their life - until post-Dynasty if you choose to continue playing them etc.

I was meaning to ask this for a long time; but can your 7 gen marry, and then kick the spouse out and then try for baby?

I am not meaning to be rude but you already asked this question on page 191 of this thread.
This is what you posted:

Is this allowed:
my gen 7 marries their fiancee, kicks them out and then Trys for baby

To which Twinmum replied:


this is in the rules..
No Sim can be moved out. All household members are to live a full and natural life and their eventual death can never be expedited (intentional killing).

So the answer would be no!

Then I added:


By the time you reach generation seven you will have at the very least seven Sims in the house this is the point where you have to bring in the next generation without moving anyone in. I would reccomend that the generation six spouse is either an adult for a female spouse or elder for a male spouse so that they die pretty soon after bringing in generation seven.

What would be the point of moving someone in which would fill up the house meaning that you would have to wait for the spare person to die before you could bring in the next generation.

So your question has already been answered please try to read and understand the answers to questions that you already asked.

Oh really?  Ha, that's good to know, cause it looks like I'm about to fail with this one anyway.  Handiness is maxed, but I still have to repair a lot of stuff for the skill challenges, and nothing wants to break!  Well, the cheap plumbing does, but nothing electrical.  I even go to community lots to check for broken items!
