When I have a YA ready to move out, instead of moving the YA out, can I move the rest of the family to a new house, leaving a YA in my original house?  Since there's no restriction about moving my founders, it seems like that would be allowed, but I wanted to be sure.

Says on the page: Moving is fine, but you cannot change neighborhoods.  I am pretty sure you can move your founders.

Yeah this is okay with me.

Thanks, Nutella! Either I missed that or (more likely) I forgot. Been a hectic last few weeks.

I just had a clone child (via clone voucher) with different hair color, creepy !

That happened several times when I played the original Attack of the clones challenge.  Cloning seems to have the same chance of mutation as a normal pregnancy   ???.

Oh no, looks like I'll have to just try to organise the birthdays better then. Shame!

My plan for skipping at least some graduations is to keep them all in high school until they complete all the requirements except the portrait, then age up the one who I can do the portrait for. As soon as the portrait is done they get moved out. Self employment careers can be done in high school and the professions can be done as soon as the sim applies to the job so easy 1 promotion while the portrait is being painted. Of course this won't work with rabbit hole careers, so some graduations will have to happen. And as long as I can get the masterpiece portrait painted before the graduation ceremony starts.

At least that's the plan.

@lvrugger

Lena is right, jobs must be acquired after drone has become YA.  Anyways the frustrating thing for me isn't the graduation, but the masterpiece portrait.  Sometimes, it takes forever to get that masterpiece, and sometimes its the 1st try.  Luck.

Wow, that was fast. I saw in your HoF posting that you finished in week 14. In week 14 mine only qualified for their 3rd RD. Great job!

Congratulations to Callycat on finishing this dynasty, great job.

Thank you (and to Trip, KRae and MarianT too)! I needed a break before going back to my umpteenth try at the Life States dynasty, so the timing probably accounts for a lot. I lost a lot of days from that one in a crash, and just couldn't face repeating it all immediately.

MarianT, yes, I need to work on minimising those graduation days next time. Maybe if I took my finger off the 3 key I could do better with the birthdays!

Regarding graduations:  I just don't let them go.  As soon as they drop everything to attend graduation, I pause the game, flip around to everyone cancelling their "waiting for graduates" or "attend graduation" action.  For the sims not graduating, I queue up a change outfit, and whatever it is I want them to do, and then go on to the next one.  For the sim(s) graduating, I just cancel the go to graduation action.  Once everyone's "waiting for graduates" or "attend graduation" is canceled, I go back to the one (or one of the ones) graduating and start the game on the slowest speed.  That sim will change into graduation robes, throw confetti, and wave a diploma, but that takes less time than the hoopla of a birthday party, and then I can change their clothes and put them back to work.   :D  If there's more than one graduating, I just do that with all of them. 

It's still disruptive, but not as bad as if they actually went to graduation.  Of course, they still miss a day of work, so I try to have the whole generation graduate at once.  It takes full micro-management for a short period on graduation day to get them all cancelled, out of their graduation robes, and back to what I want them to do, but at least it's all concentrated in one day.

Rules Clarification:

Click on the Show Empty Houses tab in the lower left screen and choose a house (EA designed houses only -- from the library bin or from any one of the EA world houses copied to the library bin) you like that will fit on the lot.
