2. The household must have 10 different NPC friends (all must have different jobs) at moving time—Maid, Repair Technician, Repoman, Baby Sitter, Adoption Service/Child Protection Worker, Pet Adoption Worker, Pizza Delivery, Butler, Bartender, Bouncer, Pianist, Burglar, Police, Firefighter, Grim Reaper, Newspaper Delivery, Mail Delivery, Science Geek, Magician, Ghost, Tourist, Explorer, Paparazzi, Tattoo Artist, male/female dancers, wild animals.
3. The household must have 10 different Best Friends at moving time. There can be overlap with other households’ Best Friends and the NPC requirement can serve double duty here if any are also Best Friends.


I've highlighted the important part of the requirements.  The friends and BFFs have to be friends and BFFS at moving time.  That means when the heir moves they need to be friends and BFFs in those exact occupations so you can't befriend your first mail lady if that mail lady is going to be dead by the time the first heir leaves the house.

O? I thought this was already cleared up earlier? I guess not. Metro? Pam? Help?

And another thing about NPC friends. Rule #2 mentions wild animals can be friends. Do a deer and a raccoon (only 2 NPC animals that can't be adopted) count as 2 NPC friends OR do they count as 1 friend since their "occupation" is wild animal.

Ratchie and Ricalynn are correct.  The BFFs and NPC friends have to be at that level at moving time.

As for the wild animals, I say that deer and raccoon count as one type of NPC.  Similar to how you can have a collection of beetles for the 10 items that remain behind, but it can be all different kinds of beetles.

Hmmmm...did I add wild animals to the NPC list? Lol. Or did you, Pam? The problem is they have no job.

I would have thought that pets and wild animals would count towards the best friend requirement but not the NPC requirement.

Exactly. They have no jobs. If I added it to the list, then my bad. But, I do not remember doing so.

Does that mean that ghost does not count as an NPC as they do not have a job?

It should not be. I specifically added the "must have different jobs" component for a reason. For variety and difficulty. So Ghosts and wild animals are being removed from the NPC list. Anyone that has used them up to this point gets a free pass, but for your next move, they cannot be included.

Nope, not me.  But I definitely saw it in the rules last night.  Thanks for clarifying and editing the rules.

Just a question about the blackop requirement: do celebrity ops count as blackops?

Awesome, thanks!

And I certainly expect that they do, (and sorry for all my questions!) but can the ten items left behind be fish?

10. Heirs must leave behind 10 items (no more) of a particular type in the house. No items left can be from previous households. 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. None of the 10 items can be purchased or made on the Display Table. Each house must have a unique item type. Examples of qualifying types — Criminal career objects taken home, Career reward objects (culinary career fridge, law enforcement squad car, Fox statue, etc), celebrity freebies in family inventory, etc.), wedding presents, field trip souvenirs, time travel items, paintings, photos, sculptures, beetles, butterflies, turtles, lizards, rodents, birds, snakes, gems, metals, spacerocks, fish, relics, inventions, nectar, books, spirits, Gnomes, Lifetime Happiness Reward objects (i.e. teleporter, collection helper), skill certificates, plants, and any harvestables from Omni Plants. All household members from a given house can contribute towards this requirement.

The new patch (1.31) appears to have caused a glitch in career opportunities. If you complete the requirements for an opportunity but the game doesn't give you credit  for it, can you still count that for a black op? I hope so because my sculptor heir is already an adult and I had her take up a career simply in order to get a couple more opportunities, lol.

I think that my heir has glitched and her bladder meter's not going down. She's currently on her second day in China, and I don't think that this was happening before she went. I checked for the obvious and, no, she does NOT have the steel bladder reward. Would this disqualify me because it's a bit of an "advantage"?

EDIT: I had her use a toilet and the bar's depleting again now! Odd glitch, though, right?
