The Sims 3 Townie DecaDynasty Challenge

[sdhoey]

I'm gonna give this one another shot. But I am setting up my town. Moonlight Falls, I want to place some of the newer venues/lots that EA has gave us, but I need to be right on my choices. 428 Huckleberry Lane is marked at No Visitors Allowed, can I use that for the toy shop? It's late and my brain is slowing down. 

[Trip]

You can't because it's not really an empty lot.

[sdhoey]

Okay that's what I figured ...I haven't settled on which on I'm using yet.

08/14/2014 -- Rules Page Addition:

Into the Future currently has a bug and will need to be turned off to receive skill opportunities. You can uninstall ITF using Sim Selector 3.0 or the old fashioned way using EA's uninstaller. You can also elect to play with ITF installed but will not receive many phone calls for opportunities.

Can we use cakes on non-heirs?

[Trip]

You can't cake up non-heirs early.

[Lisa46]

Can we cake heirs up though?

[Trip]

No one is to be aged up before their real birthday/when their age bar has zero days left.

[MeganNicole]

Unfortunately, it seems that my game hit an aging glitch where none of the family members became a day older. Would I still be allowed to play my file if I aged up my heir on her correct birthday? Also, would I have to do the same with her family members where I would age each one up on their correct birthdays as well? Thank you in advance! 

[Nutella]

You have four options.

1) Do you have a previous save you could go back to before the aging glitch? 
2) You can use edit town and move household to clipboard then move them back in, see if that fixes the aging bug. 
3) You can age them up on their correct birthday manually, although this is quite tiresome to keep track of everyone's birthday.
4) Move to new world/town.

[MeganNicole]

Darn, I don't have a previous save. I suppose I can keep track of the birthdays since there aren't too many family members in the household. Thank you so much for your help!

[Lisa46]

I was wondering if we can extend townie lives. I assume not but I don't see it in the rules.

[Nutella]

Yes you can extend townie lives.  I found this on page 67.

It's not banned then it's allowed.   Yes you can extend the life of townies.  You can extend the life of former heirs.  You can extend the life of spares.   You can extend the life of founders and spouses.  Just not an active heir.

[GamerKiddo]

Wait, how do you move into another townie house? I thought when you got married you moved into the current household house? Forgive my ignorance, please.

[Nutella]

When you marry the townie, you have the option to move into the townie household instead of staying at your own home.  You just need to select the townie household as "active household" and make sure you move your heir into that townie house.
