The Ten-Gen Townie Dynasty Challenge

Does the 1 pt for good friends still only include sims and not pets?

Pets can be included, as well as inanimate objects that show up in the relationship panel.

Hi, how are the rules regarding adding new lots when I get a new neighbourhood. I would like to fill the empty lots in Brindleton Bay before i load up my game again with the hopes of some nice new families will move it. Can I do it?

According to the rules, you can place as many as 5 houses.

can we use pets feathers as a collection?

Yes. I think they and pet treats have been added to the list for all the dynasties.

I encountered what I think is a glitch where, if a sim is sleeping somewhere and gets interrupted (i.e. by a dog barking or by sims coming in to woohoo, etc) they then stand on the bed and can't be removed except by deleting the bed. As I do not particularly wish to delete the bed every time my sims sleep, does anyone have any suggestions?

this only happens with double beds

@Annabec: and they can't be reset either?

[MarianT]

@Annabec, I don't know what to tell you because I've never seen that glitch. Most of mine resolve either by sending my controlled Sim to another lot or by closing the game and starting it again.

[Annabec]

nope, i've tried resetting them, restarting the game, updating origin, all of it

Hi @Annabec, that's a known bug.  The open report is here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Sims-stand-on-beds-and-drawers/m-p/6410065#M49953

As MarianT said the way most of us fix it is to send the sim travelling.  If it is happening when the sim gets interupted then you could try locking the door once they are in the room.

I figure I know the answer to this, but just thought I'd clarify.  When we are setting up our game the first time, we can't add any families to Newcrest right?  Just have to wait for families to move in?

Yes. If you put some houses there, you should get a family or two.

Thanks ^^ That's what I figured.  Just wanted to check. I'm currently setting up the template now.  One other quick clarification.  We can't count anything for points until after they've moved right?  For instance, if I start with a Sim and they gain 400 aspiration points, we can't count the point for a 1000 satisfaction points until they gain 1400 right?  I understood everything else, I think, but since satisfaction tends to accumulate pretty quickly, wanted to clarify.

@Shewolf13 If you want families to move into Newcrest: hang out in Newcrest. During one of my dynasty attempts I wondered why no one was moving there after three generations when I never ever sent my sims there.
