We've decided to go to a requirement of 100 points to switch to the next generation
If you are currently playing a Ten-Gen Townie Dynasty Challenge, don't worry that your previous generations completed only 50 points. Just try to earn 100 points on forthcoming generations. Getting those 100 points will be a little easier because we've lifted the restriction on earning points on a free day, and we've added a couple of new ways to get points. Be warned: you can also lose points on a free day. There are 2 reasons for increasing the points required. The first is that 50 points is easy. Several players have had the problem of reaching the 50-point mark when the next heir was still a toddler. Ideally, your heir should be a teen or young adult. The second is that there are more ways to score points. When we first developed this challenge, there weren't any toddlers. Cats & Dogs hadn't come out yet, nor had Seasons, etc.
Below is the new point system. I've put additions in bold and crossed out things we're omitting. If you are currently doing this dynasty, I suggest that you study it as the bolding and strike-outs will be removed in the new version. Again, if you are currently doing this, your previous work is fine. You do not have to start a new dynasty to get into the Hall of Fame. I'd suggest that if your current heir has less than 25 points, you give them a goal of 100; if more than 25 already, you stick with 50, but it's up to your discretion.
Point System
