The Van Haanrath Immortal dynasty - 2 Immortals, 6 more to come

[Nettlejuice]

Congratulations on your first immortal  Those genes are pretty great and I didn't even think to adopt children for future spouses, nice job.

[Margerita]

I'm back from my grandmothers appartment and everything is runing well once again.
No pictures this update but I felt that there was enough text for an update and this will clear up what effects the patch had on Marko and the rest.

14. Patches, troubles and new issues

Well done Vlad, you finally got enough points for never weary, it will make things so much easier for the both of us.

Oops I knew I had forgoten something, I'm sorry about forget your young adult birthday Uffe.

Marko has got 2 days off now so it is time to try to get the parties out of the way. I'll test a black and white party for the first time.

Oh great, another case of a bugged party. Better contact the team in case I need to go back.

They gave me permission to reload the previous save and I decided to throw a house party instead of a black and white one.
The party was in the last few minutes when they got it to a gold level but we still made it in time. Only one party left to go until I need to start thinking about the ones Vlad will need.

A new patch and I've been away and I avoided this file before I went away.
Time to check if the patch and see if the changes it made has messed things up.
Thank you patch for removing the virus requirement for the last promotion in the oracle branch.

An update on what Marko is missing after the patch hit. He has 14 days left until he is an elder.
For his aspiration he needs to see a sim die, both Don and Dina are elders with bubbling age bars so I need to wait and see if I need to change my plans a bit if it turns difficult to get.
I do have a plan in case I need to switch to another one - Mansion baron is easily doable since I only need to place the pillars and maybe some more items to get the lot value high enough.
He needs one more party, he needs to level his comedy skill but he needs friends so that should be no problem.
He also needs to breed 5 more frogs for his museum, I just go to remember to do that.

For Vlad, I need to get a cow plant somehow, I don't care for it but his aspiration needs one now. Luckily the ingredients grows right in the neighbourhood so I just need to have him gather them and plan them.
With the promotions having slowed down considerably that could potentially provide an issue but he is still a teen luckily.

For Rafiqa the only change is that I might have her retire from her job and that she will need to sleep in a bed again for I don't even remember how long.

Time to get to work again, Marko needs to improve his relationship with both Don and Dina and have both stay near him for when grim ends their life and hopefully I won't need to make any new plans for Vlads child and the rest of the Immortals to come. I will need the rest of the days to make sure that he gets the rest of his requirements done.

Don and Dina are long living sims though, must be all the exercise they did during their lives.

It's always good to get an update - even without screenshots! Hopefully you will not need to switch aspirations for Marko and I know how you feel about the never weary working anymoroe.. it's like "you can go 35 sim hours without sleep" reward instead!

[Margerita]

@KTK10 : A small spoiler Don and Dina has already died of old age in my game so I had to use the Mansion baron aspiration but they've made the aspirations easier overall so I just need to make up my mind about which one gen 7 shall take for his/her second aspiration.
I do intend for him to complete the public enemy aspiration sometime during the dynasty I think Olivia dying of old age will trigger it but who knows.

The only good thing about needing to change it is that at the moment Marko has over 12k points that he can spend on Potions of youth if they start to run low.

[Margerita]

Over 1000 views now, thank you everyone who looked at the thread at least once.
Marko is getting closer and close to Immortality as you can see, I just hope his career bar keeps behaving itself.

15. Goodbye Don and Dina

The next day Dina dies while having a chat with her little girl.
She will be missed.



About a minute after Dina died, Don passed away of old age as well - apparently just after grilling some chicken for his family.
He will be truly missed, he was a good husband and father and helped out around the house a lot as well.





Marko missed both deaths, time to go into buy mode and get the last parts of Mansion baron done, he can complete public enemy whenever Olivia dies - hopefully.
Also time to plan what aspiration gen 7 shall do instead of mansion baron...

Time to throw a party and hopefully get that last gold medal.
Well done all! No guests outside of the household showed up for the dinner party but we still got the gold medal and thus Marko needs to throw no more parties. He will attend many, many more though

Now it is time to Marko to socialize, I've already made up my mind on who his BFF will be, just need to start socializing once more.

[KTK10]

Farewell Dina and Don.. it was funny seeing Don a bit chubby! Congrats on getting the party requirements done.. fingers crossed for the rest! 

[Whirligig]

Good to see what the Van Haanraths are up to! Sorry to see Dina and Don go - that's one of the few changes to the aspirations that I'm not exactly thrilled with.

[Margerita]

I apologize for the very, very long delay but real life got extremly hectic.
Updates should happen regularly, I hope, from now on.

16. Final promotion

Time sure flies, it seems like it wasn't that long ago Ann was adopted by Nina and now it is her teen birthday!
Congratulations lovely lady.



Now it is time to give you a make over for your big day!



Thank the sim gods!
Marko got his final promotion and I can thus count out his career requirement with 8 days to go until he is elder, due to some mishaps due to patches changing careers a bit I got a bit worried...


Time to head out and make some friends.

[Nettlejuice]

Welcome back  Ann is really pretty, purple suits her. Congrats Marko, my founder is at a snails pace with her career 

[SingleMomSim]

Loving it so far!  Also love all the green.  You've given me lots of ideas for my Dynasty!!

[MarianT]

Glad that Marko has been promoted -- getting to the top is hard.

[EtnaFan666]

Ugh,  I hate the Public Enemy aspiration and will never do it because of that requirement for the final milestone to witness someone die.  That's why I prefer Chief of Mischief. 

RIP everyone but Dina. Man, old age hits you hard. I hate people dying. (Coming from a player who made his Sim WooHoo three old people until they died of exertion.  )

Good luck and here's hoping that you succeed!

[Joria]

My Sim struggles with her career as well.  Glad Marko made it to the top!

[KTK10]

Not reaching the top of the career was one of the reasons I failed my dynasty.. so I am so pleased he has reached it with days to spare!

[Margerita]

I admit that his career had me a  bit worried after the patches  that changed things with them quite a bit.
Vlads career is also at the moment worrying me, but he does still have time in case we run into trouble with it.

17. Time for jokes and making friends

Time for Vlad to age up into a young adult.
Since I don't like parties much and he already got one gold medal birthday party I just use one of the cakes in the fridge.
His pre-rolled final trait is romantic.



Ooh Rafiqa after heaven knows how many weeks at work got a raise!
A nice little incentive to keep her working I guess.

Eh no Marko, we don't have enough room for you and Olivia to have another baby...

Meanwhile Rafiqa and Olivia is cooking up steaks and veggie burgers at the same time.


10 frogs caught and breeded by his own hand added to the family museum.


Huh? My sims  can't take meals out of the fridge or cook anything any more?
Luckily I have a barbecue but that will cause some trouble when it comes to the gold medals.
Never mind, when playing again the next day it fixed itself. Here is to hoping it won't appear again.

Ah finally got the BFF I wanted, now he just needs to make some more good friends and he can have ambrosia right away...
