    @Cloudseeker Awesome, I'll move in some Sims during tomorrows recordings because there is 2 Sims on my list of getting them pregnant. Also - I've been restricting myself out of using the "Pregnancy Test" And I feel like it shouldn't even be allowed until around Modern Era.. Not 100% sure if that isn't restricted.

    I have a question ... since one of our goals is to reach gold on a house party, are we still not allowed to have a stereo or oven just for the party? I have met all of the requirements except dance and eat cake and with no oven and no stereo ... I can not reach gold only silver... Or is there another way to get them to dance and eat cake without these items?

    @Lydiaa88 I've added restriction of pregnancy tests to my list of possible changes, so I might do something with that in the next update :)
    @Olivesims2 I am glad you find it interesting :)
    @tammyjo329 Hmm, so it is actually impossible to reach gold without those? I was so sure it could be done without a stereo or on oven. I'll have a think about it, and see what I can come up with, and I'll include it in the next update :) Until then, I'll allow you to use a stereo and oven just for the party.

    Hiya Everyone! I joined the challenge last night and I am having a lot of fun thus far! I wanted to ask, if I travel in my world to go fishing, may I use the neighborhood BBQ? Or must I go home to fill my hunger needs?

    Also is there any limitation to what we can cook for each era? I apologize if this has been asked before. Thanks for all the hard work to put this together!

    One other question sorry - is the $2500 simoleans for purchasing tents, toilets, etc? Then once purchased change household funds to $1000?

    @Freedomdeep Glad to have another one on board!
    You may use the neighbourhood BBQ to cook. Or, if you have Outdoor Retreat, just replace it with a campfire and use that instead.
    You may cook whatever you want, whenever you want. I chose to not include any rules for that, since it would just make things more complicated than needed. You can of course restrict certain foods yourself if you want to.
    It's the other way around (sort of). First, you can use up to 1000 simoleons to buy decorative plants and rocks, if you want to. Then you set your household funds to 2500 simoleons, and use that money to buy tents, toilets, campfires, woodworking tables, etc.

    I'm not absolutely positive, let me throw another party or two, but I finished all the goals requested by the party planner except those 2 and it was not giving me new ones anymore to help fill the bar. It could just be random that only those 2 goals were left ... has anyone else tried throw a house party yet? and if so, have you been successful in reaching gold without an oven for cake or stereo for dancing? .. my game crashed last night so I have to re-do the party anyway .... I'll let you know how it goes later tonight ... I'm off to work for now and I'll see you all later :wink:

    Thank you for responding and answering my questions! I seem to have more questions as I play.

    1) If I have a baby(s), do I need to have a sim stay home to care for it? Or can it go to the pre-historic dino daycare lol? If I need to stay home, for how long? Until the baby ages up to a certain age or?

    2) Do I understand this correctly - that I can not move into the second generation until I have grandchildren? Is this the same for every generation, or just this one?

    Thanks again!

    @Freedomdeep I know that your sims may not join careers during the first Era and are restricted with their careers after that, however I do not know about your second question.
  • Del Rey SimmerDel Rey Simmer Posts: 10 New Member
    @Freedomdeep
    Lydia's answer is correct but as far as i am aware the answer to your second question is that the founders you create in c.a.s are generation 0 there children are generation 1 and there kids (your founders grandkids) are generation 2 so they would start the next era

    Hi Lydia, I am sorry for the confusion. I am not asking about careers, but if the ancestors have a baby, can they leave their home lot to visit another (so they can fish and dig/collect), or does one sim need to stay home to care for the child.

    Thanks!

    @Freedomdeep I usually just leave the mom home with them, however I have put my Sims on a lot to where they can do everythign they need to there. If you leave the lot, I would just leave the mom/dad there and have them set to care for themselves and the baby

    EDIT: I do this mainly because I am not sure about "Dino Daycare", but I would assume this wouldn't be allowed because there was no daycare in prehistoric times, that was only in Flintstones lol

    I chose to plop my founders in Oasis Springs, but the only 50x50 lot does not come with a fishing pond or lake. I cannot move my sims to another lot or world per the rules, so I am stuck traveling to neighborhoods that have fishing ponds.

    Is it an official rule that we must keep our babies attended at home with another sim? Thanks again for your help :)

    @Freedomdeep Honestly, I would wait until Cloudseeker gives his official say on it, until than, I would just keep a Sim home with the baby :)
