The Sims 4 Immortal Dynasty Challenge

[MischaMusic]

Is there a thread that discusses strategy ideas? Because I have been unable to make it past my first generation. I am so sim-remedial!!

There is a hints and tips page:  http://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/forum/index.php/topic,22197.0.html

You can also post on this thread what problems you are having that you can't make it past your first generation, plenty of players will be happy to help you.

I consider myself dynasty challenged!  lol  After 5 years, (or maybe it's more), with Carl's forum I've yet to succeed at a dynasty.  Still only level 1 at the moment but don't play that often.  The tips page does help a lot.

FYI:  Colored eggs can be harvested along with fruits and veggies.  When you click on a tree or veg you wind up with both the fruit AND an egg.  Not every time though.

Apologies for double post.  Get to Work will bring new collectibles with it.  Will these be allowed or banned seeing as how not everyone will get this expansion?  I'm hoping allowed.

Can't answer your question at this moment, but I will test all the new stuff as soon as expansion release and update everyone on the changes.

March 26th, 2015 New Patch Update:

There will be no new requirements added to the rules.  We will not be adding portraits as a requirement by itself, however you can paint portraits and add them to museum (under paintings category).

Oh thank goodness we don't have to do the whole "baby to elder" painting thing again! I came on here as soon as I heard on the Curtis Paradis show about the new portrait painting option in the update.

Ok!  THAT's IT!  Once again, 4th try, and my stupid founder can't get to the top of her career and is about to die.  I am so frustrated with this challenge it's unbelievable.  (stomps foot and throws hissy fit)

Ok, better.  Thanks for letting me vent.  I really wish I knew what I am doing wrong, besides constantly choosing the culinary career.  It's not like I haven't read the guides or the tips.  She should have maxed her career long before this.   I rather like this family so it's time for me to cheat and keep everyone alive with youth potion and start a new file for a dynasty.  Time to pick a different career path and see if it's the career or just me.

To add to the frustration, while I can find bugs, I seldom can get my Sim to them to collect them before they disappear and I haven't been able to find a cherry tree anywhere.  No, not even where Carl shows one in the guide.

There's a cherry tree on the property of the Landgraabs.  Go camp out there for a bit.  There's one down the cliff and there's another toward the ledge on the back of the property.

I'm very sorry to hear that the Culinary career is causing you so much trouble, Joria. I was about to boot up The Sims 4 today and try another Immortal Dynasty attempt too. 

Maybe I'll just play for fun, not do a challenge, just to see if any of my Sims can top a career. Anyways, I don't know much about the bugs since I don't have Outdoor Retreat, but I'm sure there are some cherry trees in the park of Oasis Springs. You'll never find a cherry tree in Willow Creek - it's all apples and pears over there.

Joria, I am stuck on generation 1!! I can EITHER level up the career OR complete the friends/party requirement. But I can't seem to do both. Grrrrrr

Thank you.  I'd been checking there but guess I wasn't there long enough.

Are you going to get "Go to Work"?  I'm going to start a new dynasty but I'll wait till I have my "Go to Work" and try one of those careers.  Meanwhile I'm saving my old file separately and putting my house, which I really love, in my library or maybe the gallery.  It's horribly expensive for the gallery though.

I know your frustration!!  This seems so much harder than it was in TS3 and I think it's mostly because of glitches coming along with updates.  When I first played TS4 I was able to max out my cooking career right away AND have a great garden.

The Musician career seems to be the easiest for me to get to the top level. Then Painter. Then Writer. I've made Culinary but it's a struggle. None of them in the ID Challenge though.
