The Sims 3 Townie DecaDynasty Challenge

[Esther1981]

You're welcome! Don't feel silly, everyone overlooks something! 

[ratchie]

Is anyone else having a problem with aging in their decadynasty. My family are aging properly but I have an awful lot of townies still alive that shouldn't be. For instance Sims still alive and kicking include Emma Hatch,Thornton Wolff,Cyclon,Stiles Magraw,Leighton Sekemoto,Pauline Wan,Blair Wainwright etc etc. They all look like they are still in the young adult stage.

The problem of course if nobody gets older my heir won't be able to meet any new friends or new NPCS any suggestions people.

I believe Rica had something alike Rachel. I call it the DecaDynasty bug now.

I've seen that in my Immortal Dynasty (I think). I just recently got the notification MaryKay Shallow was about to die.

[ratchie]

I think I may have to restart my dynasty. I have been playing for awhile this evening and noticed that people were aging,it seemed to be taking longer then usual but they were aging. So I decided that I might be able to work round the problem then right in front of my eyes my current heir,Briar's,age reset. She was two days from elder one minute the next she is right back to the beginning of adulthood. She hadn't done anything to reset her age.
So if my own family is messed up I just don't think I can work around this problem.

Sorry to hear that Rachel.

[ratchie]

Thank you Esther,luckily I am only on generation two so it is best to stop now rather then later. I will complete a decadynasty.

That's the spirit!
Then again, we sure wouldn't be true simmers if we gave up after try #1. What would we do with our lives?!?

Very very true. I'm on #5 of my Dynasty. 

[Pam]

Very very true. I'm on #5 of my Dynasty. 

She means Immortal Dynasty, not Townie DecaDynasty.

Rachel, sorry to hear that, those glitches simply suck.

The BlackOps challenges have to be specific to the skill that we are working on..is that correct?  I'm currently working on fishing and don't seem to be getting many oprions for that.

Also, can we add families to the town?  All the women in my town are either elders or vampires!  Soes adoption count for an heir?

Finally, do the NPC have to be friends with the family, or just show up at their house?  The grim and a robber came but I couldn't talk to either of them!

[MarianT]

The BlackOps challenges just have to be different for each heir. You can pick them up through skills, work, or some special challenges.

Sorry, but you can't add families. I can't remember who posted about getting new people into town, but basically, if you send children to school, have them keep meeting new friends, and if someone has a job, have that person keep meeting new co-workers. Also, if you read the paper every day, you'll get the names of new families who have moved in.

Yes, you do have to be friends with them.

Marian answered most of your questions, but also, no an heir can't be adopted. They have to result in natural birth. I have trouble getting BlackOps, too. What I did, though, was decide ahead of time that I wasn't going to use any of the instruments as SuperMax Skills and make sure all the heirs know at least a point in each. Guitar, Piano, Drums, and Bass each have a variety of Opportunities and they seem to spawn pretty often for me.

[icrawbeans]

So I can do 5 that relate to fishing and 5 that relate to popularity as long as no other heir as done them?
