Any rules regarding the new haunted lot type?

Any rules regarding the new haunted lot type?

I think it's okay. The only thing that may be a bit of an advantage is the reward points for spending a night in a haunted house. However, a Dynasty family will have their hands full with quite a bit more chaos, so IMO it's a wash. Team members can voice their opinions.

I say players choice. I have played it, and boy is it fun lol. The Dynasty family will have their hands full. But I think players choice is safe for this one.

Hey, quick question. Why aren't the various robots, etc that a sim makes on the robotics station not eligible for museum items? Unless I'm missing something, it seems they should be.

Update

Updated the Museum Items List to include the Bots from Discover University. This does not include the Server.

Is it okay to invite Vladislaus Straud (a vampire) into the house once cured of vapirism? He has a special trait that prevents him from aging (IntroToVampire_Caller (+ Disable aging)) even when cured. There is a cheat code that can be used to remove this trait. If we remove the trait right away, is he eligible? Or is that off limits? He has some pretty fantastic genes.

Also, does buying a new expansion that has a new town and townies count as the one chance to re-seed the town? I'm thinking of starting a challenge game, and if I get into it I will probably want to purchase some additional expansions. I don't want to get locked out from adding additional content, so I'm wondering if I need to get all the ones I want that have towns before hand, or if I can just purchase them later.

@Rhoxi: my instincts say no because of the cheat needed but it's also something we've never discussed. I guess at worst you get a guaranteed baby daddy for #7?

Couple more questions for the challenge team:

1) There's no longer a restriction on club skills (only on lot traits), correct? I thought I read that somewhere but now I can't find it.

2) Aliens can join the household without being cured, yes? (Also anyone have any tips about aliens? I'm sure Trip knows what's on my mind! )

1. sdhoey's post is a source, but yeah don't know where it went on the front page!

2. They can stay aliens since they age normally. My only tip is that the game schedules Tuesday as Alien Night at bars. Otherwise I rely on sound to listen for the echo-y alien voice.

All updates for 2020 are in the spoiler. That is where you will the club trait updates. Just helps to keep the thread neater.

Oh, great tip about the bars! Thank you!

Can the following sim join my household? https://sims.fandom.com/wiki/Kaori_Nishidake. It says she has a bonus trait called High Metabolism. Not sure if that violates the rule on extending life.

I also saw this in this thread: "This has probably been asked and answered, but can we add lot traits to Community lots? Yes you can add traits to community lots." Adding traits to community lots ... is this something that you do in Edit World when you are initially setting up your game? I'm new to the whole lot traits thing, so I don't know how it works.

She is fine, remember, that bonus traits often come with aspirations that are given to the sim. 

Yes lot traits are given in edit world or buy/build mode. It should be done at the beginning of the game file set up.
I will give the okay to go through this one time to set lot traits. Remember to do them whenever new lots are added to the game.
