The Seven Heroes Dynasty

[christinal3106]

I have a few questions, thanks in advance for your time. First, do delivering babies count for successful surgeries in the doctor career? Secondly, on the do 70 upgrades task on community lots, if your sim does an instant upgrade, does that count for all upgrades put on whatever is upgraded? Lastly, it says in the rules that aging has to be on, but usually it specifies if neighborhood aging has to be on. So, can we leave aging off for unplayed households?

Actually, we required 7 surgeries for the Doctor career because it can be very difficult to get a pregnant Sim to come in. If you're having trouble getting surgical patients, let us know. Regarding the upgrades, each time your Sim does an upgrade, that counts. So the instant upgrade wouldn't get you much of an advantage (except that it would be quick). As for aging, that has to be on for all households.

@MarianT  Thanks for the reply. I guess my game is an anomaly then, because in the 2 weeks my hero has been a doctor, she's had 3 baby deliveries. There's been a couple surgeries, too. I just thought I'd ask since you use the surgery table to deliver babies, but you don't have to diagnose first. She's had 2 successful surgeries, and it hasn't been that long, so I'll keep her going. The hardest part is diagnosing correctly and not being overrun with sick children. She has a distinguished Biology degree, so she actually started on level 8, which is the level where it's required to deliver a baby.

The collection journal has artifacts and treasures, but not relics. The treasures are the frogs and plates while the relics are the totems you assemble.

Hmm, for relics to be complete, you need 27 -- different bottom, top, and strength of crystal. Should we go with that or just 9 -- bottom, top, and crystal?

I would say either all 27, one of each rarity. 
Or, if is only 9, then they all have to be rare versions.


***
I have a question about the heirs - can they all be adopted by the founder (once each hero completes their 7 requirements, the founder would adopt the next hero) or does each hero need to do the adopting so that there are seven generations at the end? 

It doesn't make a difference to me. I would leave it up to the players.

Do we have a definitive answer on the Omiscan Museum?  Is it everything in the collection journal  - Ancient Omiscan Artifacts (16 items) AND the Omiscan Treasures (13 items) - AND either 9 or 27 relics? Or just the Ancient Omiscan Artifacts and either 9 or 27 relics, but NOT the Omiscan Treasures?  When I first started this project, I was thinking it was the two collections in the collection journal, so I'm glad I found these posts, but I'm not clear on exactly what needs to be included.

Just checking in to see if the team has made a determination on this.

I think it has to be complete -- all treasures, all artifacts, and 27 relics.

Max Secret Agent career and witness the deaths of 7 evil Sims

Are we allowed to "help" make this happen by using an in-game mechanic?

@reggikko: yes, I can't see how else you could complete it (especially since they all need to share a trait)

[reggikko]

Thanks @Trip and @MarianT for the prompt responses.

I have to say, I think this is my favorite Dynasty to date. I was thinking that the requirement and project lists would make for a good random scenario in regular gameplay. I think I'll add to the lists and use them in my regular save.

I was wondering if there was any way to maybe reconsider all 27 relics.  I mean, that is finding 9 of every top and base. Why not just make it the 9, with rare crystals.  The other ones with the uncommon and common crystals are just weaker forms of the same thing anyway.  I hope I'm not overstepping, just seems a little excessive to me. Thanks for your time!

I just wanted to add that I looked at oshizu's finished 7 hero dynasty, and they didn't use the treasures at all. Also, they only have the 9 relics with the rare crystals, which is what I was asking about.  So, I'm going to continue on getting the 9 relics and fuse them with rare crystals.  Maybe there was a mix-up? Thanks again!

I think this should be all artifacts and 9 unique relics with rare crystals. Since we've already had at least one player complete that project with all artifacts and 9 unique relics with rare crystals, let's stay with that.

Updates, if needed will be coming, please be patient and give us time to play test the new content and make our decisions.

Thank you

I've been considering reviving my 7 Heroes Dynasty. The problem is I looked through my dynasty record-keeping documents and I must have not been recording how much time I've been playing. 

I haven't played the Sims 4 in nearly a year, I think. Does anyone know if there's been any updates that let you know how many in-game days have been played, or if there's some way to find that information in a game file? I've been keeping my heroes at young adult life stage with youth potions, too, so I can't get the "days lived" number like you could with an elder, unless I let them all age up to elder... What a pain!

How many seasons do you think have passed? (Keeping your set length in mind of course...)

Okay, so I dug through my story, and I think I worked out how many days I've played!
In my last story post I noted that I was entering year 5 of gameplay. So that's 28x4 = 112 days--though it doesn't feel like I was playing that long! Maybe the gardening and toddler challenges set my time up high. I haven't added on the extra time based on the season and day it currently is in the file, but that many days of gameplay would certainly explain how burnt out I was. I think I may consider starting a new dynasty instead--either a new playthrough of 7 Heroes, or maybe a different one.
