Urm.... So let me get this straight? The tombstone cannot be small but I can medium or large?

Im going to attempt this dynasty with Chris.

Another question. For instance, I have chris marry jamie jolina, what if she does not die before gen 1 becomes an elder, because in my games she lived up to 131 days. Dynasty Over, Cant Trigger Age Transition?

Second question: Can I use fountain of youth?

Third question: Can I use tree of prosperity?

Fourth and LAST question: What if my sim's spouse dies prematurely before gen 1 becomes a child? Can I use that tombstone (small) or do I have to wait till the other spouse dies?

Sorry for the long list of questions, It was just because I am curious.

Anybody can provide the tombstone it doesn't necessarily have to be one of the founders. You could move in a Sim who is an adult or elder ensure that they have a lot of happiness points(I think you need at least seventy five thousand for a medium tombstone).

You can use the fountain of youth on non heirs and any Sim that was once an heir and has passed along the crown so to speak. So no current heir can use the fountain of youth.

Yes you can use the tree of prosperity.

You shouldn't use the tombstone if it is the small tombstone,again you can have any Sim provide the tombstone.

Hope that helped.

I've got a problem with my DecaDynasty file.  The aging isn't working properly.  The second baby of this generation didn't age at all after his birth.  It showed him as being three days from aging up for four or five days.  I finally just aged him up with cake.  The heir is a toddler now and I don't think her age is progressing correctly, either.

Ugh. Stupid bugs.  Keep me posted and hopefully things will return to normal.

Could it be because of Cosmo and Bobo? Breeding Imaginary Friends? If you have a file from before Smartie and Cosmo WooHoo'd for Charms, you could go back to that and try WooHoo'ing and going through the Pregnancy again. If it happens again, I'd be inclined to think it is because of Cosmo.

Pam,the only thing that helped when I had the aging bug was to move the family to another town.

Although I have had the aging bug after breeding imaginary friends the last time it occured I had no imagainary friends(I keep them in the parents inventory or in a locked chest) and I still have no idea why it happened. In my case the entire family stopped aging and it appeared as if townies had stopped aging up too but that was a little difficult to check.

I hope you can resolve your problem Pam.

Smartie and Cosmo woohoo'd for Gobstopper, not Charms.  She's the heir and her parents are Lollipop and Dean.

Seems like I remember reading about a bug like this recently.  I would never have thought that breeding Imaginary Friends would cause a major aging bug!  Would I have to move to a different town/file?  Or would maybe just putting them to the clipboard and then back to the house work?

[Seabody]

I'd try moving them to the clipboard and back, and then to another town (both in a backup file, just in case).

I had an Imaginary Friend have a child with the heir in my Character Legacy and I didn't get this aging bug. I hope you can fix it Pam, I'd hate for your DD to go down, I mean you've already got so far!

I'm doing major testing at the moment to see exactly how bad the damage is.  I think the first thing I'll try is moving them to the clipboard and then back into the same house.

[ratchie]

I have had the aging bug with and without breeding imaginary friends.

I had a glitch -- I let my acrobatic heir go out on Simport. There was a minor problem with this in that she never left town, but the game reported she came back anyway. I saved and quit; when I opened the file again, she was gone from the household.

Because she'd been Simported, I was able to retrieve a copy of her, install that copy, and merge her back with the household. She doesn't have any skills, relationships, or career, but to my surprise, she is still the same age.

The question is -- can I continue with this decadynasty (and still go for the HoF)?

Do you have a previous save of the file before she SimPorted?
