Blonde, Brunette, Redhead, or Raven Haired
« on: September 03, 2024, 08:13:16 AM »
Rival Dynasties Challenge

Using the forum's rival dynasty challenge ruleset, with some changes (in red).

Starting with 4 sims / bloodlines.
Each bloodline will have 4 plots, 4x4 = 16 plots will be needed. 
Doesn't have to all be in one neighborhood, not a race to occupy as much of Newcrest, but a race in museum's value.
Seasons -- 28 days, so each bloodline can experience the same season in this rotational playstyle.
Moving portraits and 7 objects collection to bloodline requirement stage, this means teen no longer have to complete those in order to move out.
Portrait in Museum -- Must use first masterpiece painted by spouse / partner.


Mansion Option:
  • Mansion Baron Aspiration
  • 3 Unique gold medal parties
  • Frugal, Carefree, Connections, and Professional Slacker
  • Maxed unique career
  • Portrait in museum
  • 7 Objects collection

Spellcaster Option:
  • One Spellcaster Aspiration
  • Remove a curse at least once
  • 13 Spellcaster perks
  • Maxed unique career
  • Portrait in museum
  • 7 Objects collection
-- Collection can include wands, brooms, familiars, or potions but not limited to it.  Object must be acquired from duels only, cannot be purchased from shops.  Potions must be personally crafted, cannot be the freebie you get from learning the recipe.


Vampire Option:
  • One Vampire Aspiration
  • Two tier 5 powers
  • Maintain a garden containing plasma fruit, wolfsbane, Sixam mosquito trap, dragonfruit, cowplant, and death flowers
  • Maxed unique career
  • Portrait in museum
  • 7 Objects collection
-- Only one portrait needed in museum instead of two, since we are calculating museum's value, using 2 portraits would be unfair for the other bloodlines.


Vampire Hunter Option:
  • Bodybuilder Aspiration
  • Forcibly cure 3 vampires
  • Maintain a garden containing garlic, plasma fruit, and wolfsbane
  • Maxed unique career
  • Portrait in museum
  • 7 Objects collection


Aged-Up / Moving Requirements:
  • Newborn -- Good friends with both parents
  • Infant -- 5 milestones, one from each category
  • Toddler -- Potty (3) + 2 skills (5)
  • Child -- One childhood aspiration
  • Teen -- A in school, level 3 part time job, unique aspiration, 2 maxed unique skills within bloodline, good friends with founder, 3 other good friends, enemy with rival bloodline
-- Added requirement for newborn and infant stage, and removed portrait and object collection from teen stage.

I'm really looking forward to your revised challenge. Very clever of you to change to 4 gens of 4 bloodlines to accommodate 28-day season!
You've better balanced the requirements across all four bloodlines.
Thank you for giving each bloodline a different family name--that will make everyone easier to remember! :D

Good luck with your new start! Looking forward to how you proceed!

Wow, your first two heirs are already teens!
Also, your redheaded sims are always so attractive.
My legacy heir visited the Magical HQ sim-yesterday and saw a redheaded YA spellcaster. We thought of you! :)
The bar in Glimmerbrook looks shabby but is a great place meet spellcasters. The bartenders, bar regulars, and customers are all spellcasters.

I only just noticed it this morning, but are you founders the same sim but with different hair colors?
I like how each of your founds has chosen to live in a different town.
So far I've worked out Countryside Windenburg (Vampire), Morengsong/Tomarang (Spellcaster) and  Whiskerman's Wharf/Brindleton Bay (Vampire Hunter).
I'm curious to find out whether the four households of one bloodline will live in the same town or if they will spread out to all available empty lots.
No, don't tell me!  I'm looking forward to watching your new dynasty unfold!

Yes.  I'm too lazy to create 4 different sims with different features. :)

Nothing at all wrong with that! The heirs' looks will vary with the spouses, so it will be fascinating to see how different the heirs look by the 4th generation.

All 3 of your bloodlines are moving incredibly fast!
Have you tried the "Ask for Science Baby with..." feature?
After asking another sim (or paying to have a science baby alone), your sim will bring home a newborn in the time it takes for an adoption.
Skips the 3-day pregnancy altogether. I'm sure you know this already. Is the heir-by-pregnancy part of your rules?

Congrats to Siena and Kiyoshi on their marriage and little boy! Their son is such an adorable toddler!
