The Sims 3 Immortal Dynasty Challenge

When you look at their portraits, do they still have the brown lines around their portraits?  Maybe they are still werewolves and not human yet?
I know sometimes elixir can bugs out and never actually cure the occult.

For your 3 werewolves males, can you tell us their age right now?

From your comment, I conclude that you mean the sim would jump right to the life stage they supposedly in? and not the life stage they stuck at?
I think werewolf or not, a cured occult would stay at their current life stage just with less day towards the next stage.

@dontmindme: The accumulated days won't carry over, but they're basically guaranteed to have their birthday right after you cure them. So if you cure a young adult werewolf and if they've been stuck that way for a while, they will have their adult birthday about as soon as you move them in (if you do it right after curing them).

Fairies and vampires often will have their age pushed up to 0 days left in their life stage after you cure them. So that nice adult fairy you have your eyes on will possibly be a lot older when you cure them.

Thanks for the answer, you guys, and the warning about fairies and vamps, Trip. I appreciate it.

What is the difference between venues and buildings? Would a fishing lot be a venue? I assume so, but again, not sure.

[Nutella]

Our very own carl's guide has a great writeup on buildings and venues.

And if you want a simple guide to it, rabbitholes are buildings. Community lots without rabbitholes are venues/properties (I see the terms used interchangeably). The only exception to the last one is the Graveyard; it has the mausoleum rabbithole object on it, but it's considered a property. You can't buy the mausoleum itself.

As a personal note, my seventh generation just ate ambrosia! I'm in the homestretch and couldn't be happier.

[dontmindme]

No question, I just wanted to bounce around and proclaim my joy that Gen 3 has eaten ambrosia and thus I have surpassed all previous attempts. Gen 4 is well on her way, Gen 5 will soon be born....this could actually be it.

Way to go!

Thanks for the info all of you who replied! I get it now

New problem. My founder has the LTW of The Culinary Librarian. Will she have to learn all the WA recipes? She can't travel for a few weeks, and I'd like to do it before she becomes an elder.

[Trip]

Culinary Librarian will complete when your sim learns 28 recipes. It doesn't require WA recipes because the base game has 28 recipes, and you can get WA recipes without traveling, because they're available through Trading Kitchen Secrets and watching the Cooking channel on TV.

[Lisa46]

Thanks! Sorry about all the questions.

[ratchie]

Don't worry about it we are all more than happy to answer any questions you have.

Permission to use outdated version of sims? This is my new major setback, and why another promise HAD to be broken. It just wouldn't install. All would go well....
And then it would crash.
I've tried restarting the computer and reinstalling the sims, but it just won't work. I'm going to start working on the dynasty now, but if I'm not giving permission I'll just restart. Thank you so much in advance if I don't reply.
Also, it's version 1.4.2. (I don't remember.)
