The Sims 3 Townie DecaDynasty Challenge

I have a question about the collection. When it Metro says gems, does it have to be 10 of a certain kind of gem? Like ten ruby? Or can it be like 3 topaz, 5 emerald, and 2 ruby?
Also, can all of them be emerald cut?

[TheTripWasInfraGreen]

It can be any combination of gems and gem cuts.

[Ricalynn]

Trip is right.  Gems just means gems of any kind/cut.  It's a general term because it covers all of them.  You can't use 10 heart shaped pink diamonds for one heir and then use 10 star shaped yellow sapphires for another.

Ok. Thanks Ricalynn and Trip!

My sim just bought Lost Willow Park (a property) and added the Gypsy Wagon to it, which turned it into a building worth $16,000. Since this is what the Gypsy Wagon is worth when placed on an empty lot, it seems to me that you should be able to place the Gypsy Wagon at the beginning of a game even though it's in the community objects section rather than the buildings section.

Also, this might pose a problem for Immortal Dynasties in some towns if there are only 8 properties to begin with.

If you don't want to use a property to place the item, you could also copy the lot that is in Moonlight Falls and place it in any town as long as you have room for it.    Putting a rabbit hole on an empty lot is not an authorized use of Edit Town.  Putting it on an empty lot means you are creating your own lot and Player built lots outside of Union Cove are strictly prohibited.

Ok,  so we are allowed to add spouses and children to the first household by the first heir as long as they don't follow that heir to the new household?  Just the firstborn in the new house is heir?  It doesn't have to be firstborn period?

In other words,  is the heir allowed to have children in or outside of the house before moving as long as he/she moves alone?

The only real restriction is the firstborn is the targeted heir and the heir has to move alone to the next house...no restrictions on spares.

Metro I didn't think targeted heirs were allowed to reproduce before moving.

Same here.  Metro, you're saying that the current heir can have a baby before meeting the moving requirements, as long as that baby doesn't move with its parent to the new house?  I've never gotten that from the rules.

[ratchie]

Pam.I always thought that completing all your requirements gave the heir the right to move to another townie house and bring in the next heir. Isn't it all about having one long continuous bloodline.

Rachel

[Ricalynn]

It is and I'm confirming with Metro about the actual meaning of his message.  I take it to mean that the targeted heir had to be the firstborn and that heirs have to move alone to the next house.   So if your current heir has a child before moving, then you fail because you can't take the new heir to the new house.

One of the two of us will make another post soon.

[ratchie]

Rica,I got the feeling that Metro thought that Raelyn was asking about spares producing children and not the heir.

Rachel

[Ricalynn]

Rachel you're right.   Metro thought RaeLynn was talking about spares/siblings of the heir not the heir having children.

Metro:  I thought she was talking about siblings of the heir
Metro:  No, heirs have to be firstborn.  Heirs also cannot have babies before moving out to the next house.

[Metropolis Man]

Yep, my bad guys...Rica just cleared the cobwebs from my head -- I thought we were talking about the siblings of an heir, the spares -- which is totally okay. But, an heir cannot have kids before they move out. The next heir needs to be born in the next house and be the current heir's firstborn, so that would totally mess things up.
