The Sims 3 Townie DecaDynasty Challenge

[Ricalynn]

So how about using the opportunity value for however many are done for opportunities, and then use the Buy Mode value for the rest of the 10?

All items are counted as their price in buy mode for all collections.   Opportunities do not factor into the collections.

I am having a small spouse problem. My 3. heir is a young adult and has done all of the requirements so I went for a spouse hunting. The problem is, there are only two sims that are elgibile for a spouse, one is dating a family member(that happened via story progression and I'd hate to break them apart) so my sims is now dating the second one but the problem is he has two children with his ex- girlfriend( I found out that when they became boyfriend/girlfriend). Is he elgibile for my sim to marry? In other circumstances I'd let her marry a random townie and move to another town to find a father for the next generation, but I don't want to waste my moves too soon in case of glitches in future because my game runs perfectly now* knocks on wood*

Are you using mods to keep the towns alive?  Since story progression still isn't fixed to allow for townie children, thought I'd ask.  If you're using mods, then does it matter if it's in the rules or not?

Ok, thanks.  It's a good thing I don't care about my score!  At this point, it will be a huge accomplishment just to finish the challenge.

I don't use any mods, I'm going for HoF. He is not a original townie, he just randomly moved in during the game with his kids and their mother(they were only dating and they split up)

That happens often in my games townies don't have babies but I get a lot of ready made families moving in.

Anyone knows if Criminal career objects taken home & Career reward objects are 2 separate items?  In my mind they seem like the same thing, but the rules page listed it as separate.

[Trip]

Criminal career objects taken home are acquired more randomly than other career rewards, which are given at a set level of the career, which is probably what separates them from true career rewards.

Question: The merchants in Egypt/China/France don't count as NPC's for the 10 NPC Friends requirement, do they? The special merchants, general goods merchants, etc?

[Nutella]

NPC usually don't have family or home, appears out of thin air into your town.  The merchants in world adventure actually do have family and a home.

The World Adventure xpac has been out for a long time, and if those merchants counted for NPC friends, I'm sure the list would have been updated by the team.  Since I don't see those merchants on the list, I'm going to say they are not counted.  Safer to stick with the list?  There are 34 on that list, more than enough for the requirement.

Are we allowed to harvest forbidden fruit to have a plant sim?

Household members are allowed to become PlantSims but an heir and their spouse can only become a PlantSim after the next heir has been born.  Heirs can never be PlantSims.

oo, I must've missed it. Thanks!

Last night I opened my DecaDynasty and out of no where Agnes had a birthday.  No makeover, no tattoo, Only the mirror was used to fix her hair. Because I took out off CC from my game. No notification that it was her birthday. I'm only 1 week and 8 days into this file.

@sdhoey:

Sounds like you have the wrong lifespan settings, did you make sure it is on normal?  Agnes starts with 6 days to Adult on normal, and she should have 21 days before reaching Elder.  Now on medium lifespan, Agnes starts with 3 days to Adult, and have 12 days before reaching Elder -- that's a total of 15 days.  You did say your file is 1 week 8 days (15 days).  Can you double check your lifespan settings?

Everything is correct, I did have problems sometime back, and had to do a factory reset of my EA folder. I almost lost my Immortal Dynasty because of it. I wonder if whatever the problem was effected this file also?
Can I just scrap this attempt and restart a new in another town?

@sdhoey:

Sure go ahead, good luck on your new dynasty.  At least you didn't lose too much, only 15 days
