The Sims 3 Townie DecaDynasty Challenge

Create A Sim is not used at all in this challenge. Your heir (of two existing sims) will have to marry an existing townie and move into his/her household after all the requirements are met. I'll admit, this challenge is a hard one! I find the opportunities to be the hardest, also.

Thank you very much for explaining.

Have we discussed whether pets can move out with the heir?  One of the rules states:

Sims from the previous household may not move in with a later heir, either when he/she moves or after the fact.

Pets aren't Sims, so I'm wondering if maybe a cat can go with the heir.  I think it would be fun to bring an offspring cat/kitten to each new house and have a line of 10 generations of the cats at the end.

I asked the same question earlier! Metro decided not to put pets in the rules at all so players are free to use them however they please. So you're good to go with moving your kitties out with your heir.

Hmm, I'm having an issue with my Story Progression as the past few "families" to move in have been one elderly sim and the rest of the sim families are elderly vampires. Literally, only one household has a young adult age sim and it's the same gender as my heir, and I'm getting close to moving time.

So my question is: Can my heir move into another occupied townie household once the moving requirements are filled, then move in an NPC to have the child with? If I remember correctly I can't do this, which is why I'm asking.

So the second question would be: does anyone have any hints for slapping story progression into sending some young adults or adults my way?

I think there was a way to spawn more townies by joining different careers to make SP spawn Co-Workers and bosses for your Sim. I don't know about that one though.

Unless I am misunderstanding you, there is nothing wrong in doing what you are suggesting. The key is making sure no one in the house you are moving into is a vampire and that all moving requirements have been met. The next heir needs to be born within 10 days of moving, so there is plenty of time to move in your targeted NPC.

Okay awesome thank you, so as long as I move into a townie household without a vampire I can then move an NPC sim in to have the baby. Also, I think my game may be glitching a bit, and I might have discovered why I literally only have old people in town. I was trying to figure out who was in a few of the houses the game was listing as occupied but no one ever came home. I checked in edit town (didn't edit anything or change active household, just checked to see who was in the family) and there's literally houses that are listed as occupied without any occupants in them (they appear to be the last names of old sims who have passed on, but the game still thinks a family lives there). Can I kick the non existent sims out of those houses so I can start actually getting a population back? There's three houses like this.

[lvrugger]

I've had my game do that. I would visit the house and it would usually reset to unoccupied. You have to have your sim visit the lot even if you can't click on the house in map view and select to visit. Just click on the ground and select "go here" or whatever the button says. Good luck!

Metro,I am having so many problems with my game file in Union Cove so it is begining to look like I won't be able to continue my dynasty there.  The only thing is I love my UC family and I am not going to be a happy bunny if I have to stop playing them.
 Can I have permision to move my family to SV or AP. If not that is fine I will take it on the chin and start my decadynasty again.

It's okay if you move them, but you need to make a clean break at the right time so as not to screw things up. In other words, you would fulfill all moving requirements for your next house, and then move to the next neighborhood.

Thanks but I don't think I will get to that stage with my family. It has just taken me four real life hours to play twelve Sim hours and that doesn't count the numerous crashes to desktop. My game runs so slow that I was able to go and make a cup of tea whilst Hebe walked from the ground floor to the first floor bathroom.
 My heir has only just aged up to child.  Would it be possible to take my two founders as they are at the begining of a fresh game and move them into Sunset Valley I could move them into two seperate houses.

Were they in the same starting house in UC? If they were then start them in the same house in SV.

[ratchie]

No they were in seperate houses. Does this mean I have your permision to move them and start again.

Yep. Best of luck this time around.
