The Power of 10 Dynasty

Thanks.  Question, ( I know, will she never shut up?), is the visit 10 community lots for a TOTAL of 2 hours or 2 hours each for a total of 20 hours?

For at least two hour each lot for a total of 20 hours

Someone asked if elementals could be spouses. There's nothing in the rules against that. And @reggiko, we don't have a rule against life extension.

Well on my way and then, at 3 am, pc crashed and for once, I hadn't saved!!!  Arrrrggghh.  Back at the grindstone....*sigh*

Regarding good friends, does the founder/heir have to have 10 good friends at the time that the next heir moves or do they just need to have made 10 good friends? Several of my founder's good friends have become elders and will probably die before the heir moves out.

Also, the rules don't say the friends need to be outside the household, so do family members count?

A dynasty which has a founder that DOESN'T have to be CAS-made and can keep their skills? Finally, a Dynasty I can get behind!

Of course, I will cheat my @$$ off but I really plan on doing this challenge for my future Wonder Child who will be busy busy busy when the new Game Pack, Realm of Magic, comes out!

Does the founder have to move with the heir or can he/she remain on the "Family" lot?  You did say life extension was ok, right?  (Which makes me wonder at having the life span set at "Normal".)

Only the heir and spouse move out. No one else unless they a pet. They can take the pet.

We have no rules against life extensions.

Good questions, and we're discussing them now.

Added to rules:

Household members do not count as good friends.

@reggikko, but you can count good friends at the time you make them.

[reggikko]

@MarianT  Thanks. I went ahead and made new friends just in case,  but that's good to know for future generations.

So what if the good friend was a good friend BEFORE they moved in? I'm thinking of spouse, of course.  Mine was a good friend, hard earned, then moved in, then proposed.  Would he not count?  No biggie as there are plenty of folks to make friends with but, just wondering.

Question:  Does going to a festival count as a community lot since it is one during that time?  You have 5, I think, if you don't count the Flea Market.

I have a question. What about traits? Do we have to do randomization of traits or is this like the Immortal Dynasty where you can choose your traits? I tried the Ten-Gen Townie Dynasty and hated it immediately because my first heir got Goofball and Hates Children for her random traits. I wanted to redo a theme I had tried with that attempt.

Also, I've checked the emotional states and counted 11, so we have to do a whim for almost every emotion, which requires a lot of planning. Basically we'd be doing the Basketcase Acheivement without the 24-hour stipulation. *sigh* Well, it wouldn't be a Dynasty without a hard hurdle to overcome...

We don't say that you have to randomize your traits, so you don't.

By my count, there are 13 emotions: Angry, Bored, Confident, Dazed, Embarrassed, Energetic, Flirty, Focused, Happy, Inspired, Playful, Sad, and Tense.

Does a spouse who WAS a good friend before moving in count as a good friend still?

Does going to a festival in San Mishuno count as a community lot?
