The Sims 3 Immortal Dynasty Challenge

[Ricalynn]

Thanks!   Also note that gifting is not mentioned in the rules because for the dynasties it's allowed so there's no reason to mention it unless it wasn't.   As time goes on we're know more about witch spells, elixirs and anything else so if there something that you experience that you want to know a ruling on - don't forget to ask !

I've turned off occults, but left the celebrity system on - I need it for BlackOps.

Oh good point, maybe I'll leave them on then. But maybe turn off other Celebs, less Papz I'm hoping?

With the new Occult settings, can you start with a Witch, Ghost or one of the other allowed Occults? I don't know how it works since I don't have SN yet.

I'm going with the all or nothing approach in all files but my current dynasty.  No celebs and no celebrity household.  At least for now as I'm tired of being falsely accused.   

If it's an allowed lifestate and its able to be made in CAS, go for it.

I don't know how it works yet - I haven't played much since the patch. Celebrities and the paparazzi don't bother me, it's vampires I can't stand.

Congratulations on the promotion, Rica!

(I'm sure I'll pepper you with questions aplenty )

[ratchie]

Vampires don't bother me at all I just see them as part of the challenge. I haven't played with any of the new occults so have no idea about their advantages or disadvantages with regards to game play.

I can see what some people are saying to just work around the occults, but with more options for npcs to turn occult, wouldn't it be better to turn of at least one of them? Because i've read a few immortal dynasties, and down the line the vampires seem to take over so there's very few original townies left. Also, do witches age like normal sims, or is their life extended? I know faeries and vampires have extended lives, but if werewolves and witches don't, are they part of the spouse market? Or is there some other reson for them not to be?

Fairies and werewolves were banned from immortal households, but witches were allowed, and population controls set to Player's Choice - check the updated rules post on Page 1 of this thread.

So I could start off a dynasty with a young adult witch if I oh so desired?

[cathyknits]

That, I think I'm going to leave to Ricalynn or Metro's call.

My own question: I'm trying to decide what supernaturals I do or do not want in my Dynasty game, and I'm finding a couple of them to be a tough call. Are we allowed to change the settings after initial setup, or is making that decision (and the lunar cycle, too) a one-time thing?

[RavenKay]

My question is:
Are we allowed to marry ghosts?
Moonlight Falls has a couple of households of ghosts.

My founder met Samuel Goth(ghost) and they became friends very quickly. Now she is throwing romance wants for Samuel.

If you can make it in CAS and it's not banned than yes.  So witches and ghosts are allowable as founders.

I would prefer that it was a one time thing but I can send Metro a note to see his full opinion on the matter.   The reasons for turning off occults, celebrity and the lunar cycle shouldn't really change farther down the line.    When you start the game, you choose your founder, you choose your town, you say what kind of town do I want (supernatural/normal/famous) and that's that. (but I will get a second opinion for you)

According to the rules, ghosts are allowed in the household so yes you could marry Samuel.

Yes, as ghosts aren't banned from the household.

Edit: Rica's being sneaky and fast today!

[RavenKay]

That was how I read the rules too.
But, I needed clarification on it.

Thanks,

So is Bonehilda allowed? I'm getting SN soon and will probably utilize her.
