This sounds like it's really hard, but I'll try it one day though.

I have a question more about game mechanics than actual decadynasty rules.  How do you meet all the NPCs?  For some of them like pizza delivery guy, mixologist, ghost, etc. it is really straight forward, but others have me stumped.

For example, is there a way to meet a social worker/adoption person without adopting?  How do you meet a repo man?  These are things that I've just never encountered in game before. 

If my questions are too close to discussing challenge strategy and shouldn't be answered on the forum, is there anyone who would be willing to PM me about this?

Thanks very much!

All Dynasty strategy and advice flows freely right here. No worries.

That is the one thing that puts me off the DecaDynasty is that I'm useless as socialising (In Sims and in real life, Lol) although I think someone posted a really handy tip somewhere, they met a NPC and when they clicked on the picture in the relationships tab there was an option to invite the household over, then all the NPC's turned up or something.

Well, if you haven't met a repo-man than don't pay the bills once and one will come over.
Some of the NPCs can be hard to find that's why I've stuck to a basic set of 10.

EDIT: samoht, it shows a list of all NPCs that you can choose from since there are so many.

I mostly meet NPCs hanging around the park especially tourists and social workers for some reason. I also discovered that if you know one NPC when you call them and select invite over household a list of all the current in game NPCs comes up.

While we are on the subject of NPCs,Metro,would the pet adoption person qualify as an NPC.

Quick question: Can Sims already be married? I want to use the Marshall Family in Appaloosa Planes. They have a nursery all set, and pets.

As long as they have no kids, you are fine.

Yes they can start off married to one another or you can break up a couple or have a single Sim break up another couple and marry a divorcee so to speak.

I don't see why not. I'll make the edit. Thanks, Rachel.

That makes two of us, Tom!  I also have a hard time playing townies for some reason so I quickly lose interest.  I'm hoping UC will provide enough variety for me to see a decadynasty through to the end.

Thank you everyone for the ideas on how to meet NPCs.

Is it okay to bulldoze some community/( unoccupied) residential lots to place other EA-created buildings and lots on them?

You have to place EA-created buildings on empty lots. You cannot bulldoze existing buildings to make room for other ones.

Yay, it is the challenge that made me make an account on this forum.
Well, I am going to install my Ambitions Ep to add some professions into my game.
The only thing that can make me fail is the opportunities task.
It is quite challenging, but I don't have other problems except having the tombstone of dying by old age in the first generation (because I love to start with only two townies)
but I small little question...
Can I, after I move the first heir, create a sim so it would be my heir spouse, because I love to create my own sim?
Well, I hope my experiment of all three versions of The Sims would help me in this challenge.
