The Sims 3 Townie DecaDynasty Challenge

[GamerKiddo]

When you marry the townie, you have the option to move into the townie household instead of staying at your own home.  You just need to select the townie household as "active household" and make sure you move your heir into that townie house.

Oh wow, really? Thanks so much, I didn't know that.

A question regarding the collections.

Does

These items must be a) created, b) found, or c) given to you as freebies/perks as part of a career or being a Celebrity

Mean that if you choose 'upgraded items' as one of your collection of items that the items you are upgrading must be made/earned by your household as well rather than buying the items.

EG My household gets some computers as freebies/job perks. They also purchase some computers. All the computers received/purchased get upgraded. Only the computers received as freebies/job perks that get upgraded can count towards the collection.

Or is it along the lines of ... your household has done the work to upgrade the items, whether you get given them or purchase them, the important thing is your household did the work.

Thanks

[Trip]

Nah, you can buy the items you upgrade. The upgrade is the creation.

Question: I just started a DecaDynasty with Malcolm Harris. He is romantically interested in a fairy, Marigold Maldano. Can he cute Marigold and then found a DecaDynasty with her? She's not on the approved list for Moonlight Falls but after reading the rules I don't see why she couldn't be.

[Trip]

If you cure her, then I see no issue with it. I think it would be a good idea to amend the list to include townies that are banned occults as long as they are cured.

Well, once I get to it.

Good luck with Malcolm! He's been a good co-founder for my 4x4.

[Lisa46]

Oh so that's the project you mentioned in the Waverly thread!

I agree, I was just sort of confused by the fact that she wasn't on the list. I booted up the game and started playing with Marigold. The two of them make a great couple, they both have super-wacky clothing. His formal outfit is the weirdest thing ever.

[Trip]

If you're implying that you started with Marigold, start over and start with Malcolm's household if you're intent on them as a couple.

The rule is no banned occults in the household. So Malcolm would have to find the potent cure elixir first, use it on Marigold, and then move her in. Not start with Marigold, find the potent cure elixir, and then proceed as usual.

[Lisa46]

I meant that I added her to the household to start playing with her.

I meant that I added her to the household to start playing with her.

Sorry for the confusion, then. Carry on!

I've run into a bit of an issue and I'm not sure how to proceed.  My first heir is doing the PI career and did the "Help with Investigation" BlackOp.  For this, she simply needed to show up at the police station and help with the investigation.  Well, she's done that for four (maybe five) days straight and it still hasn't registered that she's finished the BlackOp.  Basically, I'm concerned that it's a glitch and that I won't be able to finish this generation of my DD since her BlackOp spot is full.  Does this BlackOp simply take a really long time, or is my game glitching?  If so, is there a way I can handle this and continue the dynasty, or do I need to restart (which is at least less of an issue since it's only the first generation)?

[Trip]

That op is glitched to hell and back. Cancel it and do something else.

[PeregrineTook]

That op is glitched to hell and back. Cancel it and do something else.

How do you cancel an op?  I didn't actually know that was possible.
Also, since I did what the op requested, do I count it in my list of 10, or do I need to do another op to replace that one?

[Nettlejuice]

@PeregrineTook On the ops tab, right click the opportunity you want to cancel.

[PeregrineTook]

@PeregrineTook On the ops tab, right click the opportunity you want to cancel.

Excellent!  I shall have to try that when I get home.  Of course, I still need to know whether or not the BlackOp counts.  Granted, Ellavine should have no problem getting enough ops, I just don't want to use up any skill ops on her that might be really helpful for later generations if I can avoid it.

[Trip]

It's not allowed to be counted, sorry.
