@sdhoey:

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

Thanks and yes, this is so true.. No like I would have if it was my other one..

I think this question has been asked before... But imagine I am on heir eight. I want to move into my third generation's house. Can I? Because I don't think the people who I moved in with are still there D: Quick reply anyone, please? D:

Glancing through the rules and such, it doesn't appear to be explicitly forbidden so long as no former household members are still there.  I imagine this is more of a "spirit of the rules" as opposed to "letter of the law" issue.  The point seems to be living in/updating various homes and mixing the town's gene pool.  Therefore, I'd say it seems more "hall of fame-worthy" if you end up in a different house.  If you're not concerned about hall of fame status, I'd say go for it.  Hope that helps.

Ah, I really do not care at the moment because heir eight isn't an adult yet thankfully.

I found a post by Pam from earlier that answers your question.

If the founder or any of his/her family is still living there, then no.  That would be returning members to the household that have already left and is against the rules.  At generation 3, it's likely that the founder's family will still be there.  But by generation 8, it would probably be a whole different family and your Sim would be marrying into the new family and moving into the house.

When an heir achieves his/her requirements, moves, and the next heir is born, can they move out of the active household?

Yes.  Remember though, once he/she leaves the household, he/she may never be invited back into the household of an active heir.

Into The Future Updates:

Each household is allowed 10 days vacation. Vacation time includes time spent in China/France/Egypt and time spent at University or Time Travel.

Household members cannot be a mummy, Plumbot, or SimBot.

I still haven't installed the EP, but I wonder if there isn't a time restriction on how long you can stay in OL can we count that as one of the towns you can move into during the dynasty? Of course if you add everything you need before going into the gameplay. ISorry if ti's a very stupid question, but I still don't know well how everything works and I'm a bit curious about that.
And does every career and skill counts towrds as arequirement? Also, are there any new collectables or NPC's?

You cannot start a new game in Oasis Landing, but you can live there permanently, there is no time limit in Oasis Landing.   However for dynasty challenges, we decided to make Oasis Landing travel time as vacation time.  Each household is allowed 10 days vacation.  Vacation time includes time spent in China/France/Egypt and time spent at University or Time Travel (to Oasis Landing).

Can we count that as one of the towns you can move into during the dynasty? Of course if you add everything you need before going into the gameplay.

Unfortunately no, Oasis Landing will be treated like going to vacation or going to university.

Sorry if ti's a very stupid question, but I still don't know well how everything works and I'm a bit curious about that.

Not stupid at all. 

And does every career and skill counts towrds as arequirement?

Yes and no.

There are 3 new skills in this expansion pack - Advanced Technology, Bot Building, and Laser Rhythm-a-con.  Bot building will have to be careful, you can build nanites and create nanites, just can't build a bot (since plumbots are banned).

There are also 3 new careers in this expansion pack, however since you are only travelling to Oasis Landing using your vacation time, you might not have enough time to level these careers:  Astronomer, Bot Arena , Plumbot Dealer.

Also, are there any new collectables or NPC's?

Yes, there are new collectables: Nanites, Fish, Insects, and Plants.

No new NPCs, all the NPCs in Oasis Landing is already included in our NPC friends list.
NPC -- babysitter, burglar, fighfighter, maid, mail delivery, pizza delivery, police, repair technician, social worker.

Grim's Ghastly Manor Updates:

Door of Life and Death Reincarnation
Founders / Heirs -- No
Household Members -- Yes

Door of Life and Death intentionally killing off sim
Founders / Heirs -- No
Household Members -- No

Into The Future 2nd Update:

Plumbots -- No creating plumbots for the career. The reason being that there is a risk of a kicked out plumbot moving into an heirs future home. Plumbots allowed as family members.

[MarianT]

Regarding the NPC friends, what about the plumbot waiters at the diner?

[ratchie]

If you ask them about career do they state that they are waiters?
