The Sims 4 Immortal Dynasty Challenge

Don't you miss the apple/watermelon trick from sims 3?  I know I do.

[christinal3106]

Yeah, I prefered sims 3 whole productive system better overall.  I also liked the fishing and gardening much more as well.  Also, the moodlet buff being based on quality, not based on what skill unlocked the food being prepared or whether it is gourmet or regular.

Did this latest patch fix the mail bug, or is it still messed up?

I miss the apple/watermelon trick so badly. I get so annoyed at having to have heirs of the gender I don't want. Makes me want to rant and rave to whoever will listen! lol

@EtnaFan666 , not such a strange assumption. I thought male aliens could pollinate male and female sims too.

How I wish we could lock the doors again.

I miss the watermelon/apple trick, not that I'm complaining but it would be nice to have a male heir

All I need out of the Sims 4 is an apple/watermelon trick and lockable doors. Some way to get twins/triplets reliably that actually works (looking at you, Fertile) too, but beggars can't be choosers I guess.

Everything is still going well. My second generation are in their teens, the heir is about to age up to YA. Here are some of the things that are working for me:

Using other utility Sims, generate enough reward points to purchase useful potions like Sleep Replacement and Happy Potion. Sleep replacement provides you more time for skilling and aspiration completion.

Work Hard is essential for the Heir to fulfill the requirements before time runs out. Having lots of bathtubs helps ease stress.

 Graft Strawberry with Snapdragon for lots of simoleons.

Delay selecting a BFF until the last minute


Hmmm...maybe pomegranate is an ingredient for ambrosia because it is a fruit of the underworld.

You got the Persephone reference too? Glad to see you know your Greek mythology.

After reading these post, I quickly went to google and look up Persephone and pomegranate, thank you!  Although I'm not familiar with greek mythology, I love reading about them.

My heir is having problems with the Whiz Kid aspiration. She has completed everything and has had an A at school for three days in a row and it is still not registering and so the aspiration won't complete. Is there a trick to getting the aspiration to complete? I know I've read about other people having this problem but I couldn't find it on the forum.

She has gone to school very focused on these three days with her homework and her extra credit homework completed as well.

*edited, it's now Friday in my game and she only has two days until she ages up. I'm not sure if she will actually get another day at school before her birthday.

The trick is to reach that last stage on the aspiration before you get an "A" in school.  If you already have an "A" going in the last stage of the aspiration, the game will not recognize it.  You have permission to use the milestone cheat to complete the aspiration.

[Playalot]

Oh rats! Well, least I know the 'trick' now. Thanks. I'll have to use the milestone cheat then as she was an A student even before she completed the first steps of this aspiration. That's so annoying though, I hate using cheats. Thanks for your quick reply.

I've been reading a lot of Percy Jackson lately...while playing Sims 4. =)

In addition, you have to be IN the aspiration for it to recognize that you completed it.  If you are waiting on that requirement but are in a different aspiration when you get the A, it still won't complete.  Basically, make sure you're on Whiz Kid whenever you go to school, and make sure you finish the aspiration before you get an A.

Yeah, I did that for the whole aspiration. I never switched out of it at all. Trouble was Mackenzie already had an A even before I started it.
