The Sims 3 Immortal Dynasty Challenge

Oh, that's odd. Are you sure you checked it the day after, and not two days after?
Because usually that glitch gives one of the twins/triplets and extra day of life, so one of them ages up a day later than the others.
In that case, I don't know what to do, sorry.

Yeah I'm sure, the dad had the same birthday as both of the twins until the problem started.

Yes I have done that but as far as I can tell the only premade studio is the Plumbob Pictures Backlot?

Yep there is only one which is on a very large lot. I think it is 64x64 if I remember correctly. There are no empty lots of that size so you will have to place one through the World Editor Tool and you will end up with bad terrain.

If necessary, you can also make your own...maybe.  The actual rabbit hole is much smaller and can be found in the community objects section of build/buy on a community lot....though I don't recall if that would be allowed in the rules.

I didn't think it was allowed? Maybe Metro can give some clarification on that just to make sure.

I think Joria has a walkthrough somewhere (sorry, I did not take the time to track it down) of how to place a smaller Studio.

[samoht04]

I know how to do it but I meant can we? Can we build our own on a Lot with Edit Town?

I'm fixing to start a Dynasty. But I have a question, Does the game need to be patched? I'm asking because everytime I download one it crashes and gives me a nice blue screen and I have to uninstall it.

Well what I did to place that 64x64 was to bulldoze 2 empty small lots up on Pinochle Point then placed the large lot. I am hoping I didn't break any rules but so be it if I did. I will just start again...maybe

Anyone know a strategy to make the founder immortal before he dies? I just spent 10 hours straight on my first attempt and the founder died of old age at 89 days. I was hoping to get a little bit extra time.  I started another one but this time gave the spouse 2 skills to be in charge of and hopefully I'll make it in time.

By the way, I don't know if this was asked before but does the spouse count towards the best friend requirement?

Hmmm...yes, you need to be patched. Try asking in the Technical board for help.

The spouse can count towards the BF requirement. As far as getting everything done before a Founder would die...yeah, it is tough I agree. What specific areas are you having trouble accomplishing — the BF, the investments, the SuperMax skill, the career? Just provide a little more detail and we can jump in with more tips.

Getting the skills mastered is the hardest part for me because their mood goes down drastically the first couple of days and it's really hard to get it back up again.

[Metropolis Man]

Try and make sure your Sim is skilling when you have the Well Rested, Having a Blast, and Had a Good Meal moodlets. Those 3 should nearly cap the Mood Meter and should not be too difficult. Put them to bed — Woo Hoo — Eat — then skill.

[jessssi]

Alright, I'll try that the next time I play. I need to give my laptop a break after almost half a day of non-stop Sims. Thank you!

Just a little reminder: there is a *huge and infernal* bug since Late Night (I think it came with the patch from LN, so even if you don't have the EP you might suffer this bug). It's called the 'well rested' bug, although that's a bit of a joke 

Basically, your Sims will end up in very bad mood after some time, red-orange mood meter, whatever the positive moodlets they have. When they sleep in 'bad' beds, the cheaper ones, this happens very fast. So, a very good bed is probably one of the first investment to do.

But I have seen my Sims plagued with bad mood, even when they were 'full' of extra positive moodlets (top comfort + deco, expensive spa package, LTW fulfilled...). The only thing to do is to save and then exit to main menu, and reload your game. The game will accurately render their mood again.

So, no marathon session as long as the bug is not fixed 

Good luck with your Dynasty and have fun!

Hi
I have a couple of questions regarding my dynasty:

1) I know the moodlet manager has been accepted as a LTR, but can a mortal have one? My first generation spouse has enough points for one but I'm not sure if I would be allowed to have him get one and then use it on the immortals and other family members. Same goes for the food replicator and other physical rewards that he would leave behind once he passes on.

2) Are we allowed to have an immortal marry someone and then break up with them (but not kick them out of course), and then remarry? I guess I'm not sure if this would be considered cheating or not because of all the extra help 2 mortals could be. One of them could focus on sculpting whilst the other paints etc. Is this allowed? I noticed Metro Recipe married Agnes and then remarried, but that was after she died...

I think that's it for now
