The Sims 4 Immortal Dynasty Challenge

[Nutella]

If you only have sims 4 base game, you could.  You don't have black & white and costume party, left with exactly 5 types -- date, house, birthday, dinner, wedding.  If wedding fails, you can't redo wedding.  We didn't want players to have to divorce and redo wedding, so locations were introduced.

I was getting so confused about the parties! Thanks for spelling it out for us, Nutella!!

From the rule section:
**Players can increase the value of their Immortal Family Museum by having an heir contribute two additional museum items (for a total of 10 of a given type) if that heir completes a Childhood Aspiration and gets an A in school (as a Child and a Teen).

Okay, didn't see that - it's totally optional, right? I mean, I would make the kids complete a child aspiration and my Sim kids always get excellent grades in school, but at least I'm glad it's not an official rule, just something to increase the value of the museum(which I don't care to do - I'm not a slavedriver and I prefer to do my excellent value runs with Platinum PS3 trophies, not Sims, so I give them motive cheats to keep them happy and thus I can't ever do a legit Dynasty, so I prefer not to stress over PERFECT VALUE items).

Also, when I said speed dynasty, I was talking about what people had been doing in the Sims 3 Immortal Dynasty to get all the stuff done early so you can play with the game minimized while waiting for the birthdays and killing time out of boredom. I wasn't talking about aging anyone early! 

Another thing: About the parties, I asked that same question Joria asked because I was concerned due to the 7th and 8th Immortals unable to have a wedding party gold medal because they are forced to be celibate(unwed for you laymen) due to the house restriction.

Go to Build or Buy mode. Then pick up the dish and the value will be shown in the screen.

Yes, "A" grade in school and child aspiration is absolutely optional.

When you mention celibate (unwed), one thing I have to point out, lots of people seems to missed this: Your couples do not have to be married.  The dynasty requirement is only for parents to live in the same dynasty house (except for the last generation), says nothing about must be married. 

[ilovethesims]

How do I prevent previous Immortals from dying?

@ilovethesims They need to eat Ambrosia when their age bar is almost full, you can do it when you get the notice for them to get their affairs into order ie the impending death notice.

I understand this but even so, you still can't have a wedding party for Gen 7 or 8. And unless you don't like wedding parties, I think it would be something that players would probably do - I mean, you've already wooed the baby daddy in a gold date and he's going to be living with you, why not add a gold wedding and knock out another medal? I'm not saying that's it mandatory to get married, but I usually have the mindset of gold medal date, gold medal wedding. And since Generation 7 can't have the baby while the other parent is living with them, wouldn't have be hypocrisy for the rule? Just stating.

There, I've exhausted every argument. I'll put this subject to bed now.

You can still get married, have the wedding party and go for a gold medal. You just don't move the new partner in when the option comes up.

[Nettlejuice]

Is that a legal? I may try it but I have a long way to go to reach that point and new content and such could possibly mean more party options though.

Yes this is legal for your 7th generation.  While all the previous generation needs to have parents that live in the dynasty house, the 7th generation don't have room.  You can get marry, just don't move in your spouse; that empty spot in your dynasty house needs to be for your baby, the last heir.

[Nettlejuice]

Cool, I love weddings in Sims so I guess my seventh may have a wedding after all 

[ilovethesims]

Keeping immortal sims alive by ambrosia seems a little expensive.

Can I just let them die and then have another sim plead for their lives with a death flower?

Thanks.

@ilovethesims

Sorry the answer is no.  The whole point of the dynasty challenge is the rule where elder must be kept alive via ambrosia.

I just had a blue screen crash and since then every time I go to change my alien disguise the whole family turn up as options to change... which is kinda like when you use the cas.fulleditmode cheat. Only I have not used this (obviously as it's against rules). The crash happened when I was in the middle of changing one of my aliens disguise (which you do just by clicking on the alien).
Can I delete this file and go back to an earlier save which is about one sim day back from this current save?

*edited: I just noticed that in this file when I visit a neighbour their house is open to me and I don't have to knock on any doors! Ugh, something's gone wrong with it for sure.  And when I travel all my sims moodlets all drop off which they shouldn't as most of them aren't environmentally linked.
