The Seven Heroes Dynasty

[ratchie]

I love that there are so many things for our sims to do and that everyone's dynasty exp
erience will be different.

Since the November patch, I have not been able to turn off fame for a new game. This became annoying enough that I decided to disable the Get Famous pack.

You won't really need that pack for this challenge, so if you want to disable Get Famous, the instructions are here:

http://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2017/03/disable-single-packs

Basically, it's go to Origin, and click on Game Properties. From there, go to Advanced Launch Options. In the space, type  -disablepacks:EP06

I just noticed that it's impossible to bring up the cheats panel if you do this, so you might want to suffer through fame.

I have a question regarding the projects that mention a museum. Are we meant to build a museum or just collect the items and keep them on the home lot?

You're meant to build a museum.

Are we supposed to keep all the heroes alive for the length of the challenge. Also is there a limit on starting funds. I start pretty much all my games at zero so anything else would be a big bonus

Yes, you should try to keep them alive, which is why you're allowed to use the reward potions, serums, etc., that increase age. But it's not a fail if one dies, unless that hero died before completing a project. You start at 20,000 simoleons and can live anywhere.

[ratchie]

Oooh 20 k I feel rich haha

You start at 20,000 simoleons and can live anywhere.

Does this mean we use a money cheat to put funds to 20k after moving in somewhere?

Ah no, sorry, just realised it automatically starts with 20k out of CAS.

I have a couple more museum questions. Do the museums need to be built with family funds (on a retail lot) or can we just build one somewhere as a community lot? If we choose more than one museum option, do we need a separate museum for each Sim?

[ratchie]

I have a question about the seven plants requirements. If the founder Sim grows 7 plants can subsequent family members grow their seven plants using the original plants as a source. Replanting the harvested fruits for instance or do they have to go harvest plants from elsewhere. I know we can buy them via buy mode.

@reggiko,

I think you can build a museum as a community lot. And yes, if you choose more than one museum option, your 2nd Sim could add things to the first Sim's museum.

@ratchie,
I think it doesn't matter where the seeds come from.

After a long hiatus from sims 4, I was looking for a way to play, and this dynasty is exactly what I was looking for, so thanks! For the psychology degree project, Is counsel sims a interaction or do you just find sims in bad moods and make them better? Sorry, lots of features I haven't played with, so I don't want to miss anything.

No counsel Sims interaction, but you can find Sims in a bad mood and make them better.

I would like clarification on the "where the seeds come from"
Are plants considered grown after they are harvestable?

Also, the museums I've never built anything on a separate lot other than the one I live on. May the museum be on your lot. Does your household pay for a community lot.

Should we keep track of which book were read, which 7 plants, etc. ?

The first sim starts as a teen, how do we know when they have positive trait?

You can buy seeds by clicking on the planter, or you can harvest plants that are growing and use one of the fruits or flowers as a seed. Yes, once a plant is harvestable, it's been grown.

Also, the museums I've never built anything on a separate lot other than the one I live on. May the museum be on your lot. Does your household pay for a community lot.

You don't have to buy the community lot. As for building the museum, if you look in your "my gallery" section of the gallery, there's a museum there already. Just put that down and adjust the interior to have the space you need if you don't want to do a lot of building.

Should we keep track of which book were read, which 7 plants, etc. ?

Yes, but more for your own benefit so that you'll know when you've completed the requirement.

The first sim starts as a teen, how do we know when they have positive trait?

You'll get a notification, but you should also check on them. If you pull up the Simonology screen, where their traits are, keep scrolling down and you'll find the character traits section. You'll want to have 3 positive traits, and your Sim can easily slip out of range. I think the Guide has a section on character traits, so look at that for tips on how to develop them.

Good luck!
