University Life Content Update:
Can I go to University?
-- Yes. As far as the challenge team is concerned, think of going to university in the same sphere as going on vacation. They use the exact same rules. For the Townie DecaDynasty, this means that the vacation time available to each generation can be used to go to China or it can be used to get a degree from University. So 10 days per generation can be spent away from home. Where you choose to use those 10 days is your strategy.
Can Social Group opportunities, Dares or Day Jobs be used for BlackOps?
-- Yes but they are under the same restrictions as Adventures from WA. You are only allowed to use 3 per heir in any combination of adventure, social group, day job or dare. So you could choose to use 1 dare, 1 day job and 1 adventure or 2 adventures and 1 social group opp.
Can I use the skills that came with University Life as supermaxes?
-- Yes. There are no restrictions regarding the three new skills that came with University Life. Science, Street Art and Social Networking are all acceptable supermaxes. Just remember that it is unknown at the time of this post how many opportunities are available for these specific skills.
Do the new Barista Bartenders and Professors count for the NPC requirement?
-- Barista Bartenders do but Professors can live in town so they don't count. As a bonus, university mascots are also an available NPC for the list.
Can any of the new items be used as collections?
-- Yes - two new collectibles are being added to the rules. Street Art and Scientific Samples are being added to the list of possibilities that can be left behind in a house.
Am I allowed to use one of the new Social Group careers as my unique career?
-- Yes. All three of the new careers are available but be aware that even though the Game Developer has two branches for part of the way through it's progress but in the end it's the same career so it only counts as one career instead of two.
Are PlantSims allowed?
-- Yes with restrictions. A spare or housemate can be a PlantSim at anytime. An heir and their mate can only become a plantSim after the next generation has been born. A PlantSim can never be harvested as an heir due to the break in the bloodline and lack of genetics involved in PlantSims. An heir is not allowed to harvest a forbidden fruit prior to the birth of the next generation as this will make the PlantSim the first born and that goes against the rules.
Any other restrictions?
-- Not at this time. Enjoy the new careers, herbs, smart phones and parties. Should you learn anything that would be against the spirit of the challenge please make sure to tell us.
Edit Town Changes:
The following change/restriction is now in place for dynasties from the moment of this post moving forward.
The following lots are the only lots allowed to be placed from a vacation world into a homeworld: Phoenix Martial Arts Academy, The Scholar's Garden, Champ Les Sims Nectary, Keith's Komics, B's Bowlarama, The Grotto and Roasted Toasted Beans Coffee Shop.
