NRAAS MODS Save Your Settings

TOURNAMENT ANNOUNCEMENT: MODS

NRAAS CLARIFICATION

One of our own, has informed me that not only is it possible to save your nraas setting so you don't have to redo it every time you start a new game and she also told me how!

• From city hall or a computer, choose nraas , then overwatch, then immediate, then export settings.
• Then it will ask which settings you want to save. If you choose all, it will save the settings for all your nraas mods. Then it will ask you to name your save.
• You will see the settings as a blank family the next time you're in edit town looking at your households. You don't do anything with it, it's just where it's saved.
• Then you go back and instead of choosing overwatch, choose story progression. Then choose general options, then export settings and save them.
• Then, when you start a new game, go to overwatch and choose import instead of export and pick the file you saved for all the settings.
• Then do the same for story progression. Do overwatch first because it can erase the SP settings.

Master Thief and Spouses

MASTER THIEF RULE CLARIFICATION REGARDING SPOUSES:

9/25/16

Currently the rule around spouses being moved in by marriage that already have a job states that they aren't forced to quit the job due to the forced days off for marriage...which leaves one to assume they quit if you want them to without actually saying it. We added a line in the Base Game rules for Master Thief that states: "Spouses MAY quit (but are not required to) on the first day they enter the household."

NETWORK VISITATION RIGHTS

RULE CLARIFICATION REGARDING NETWORK LOTS

There was ambiguity and contradictions in the Wiki around visiting lots in your Network. We have reworded the Setup Page as it relates to visiting your Network and Athletic page as it relates to jogging in an attempt to make it clear what you can and can't do on your Non Rabbithole Community Lot versus your Rabbithole Community Lot.

So you don't have to search for it I have recapped below:

Non-Rabbithole Community Lots: You may not visit them AT all until their governing restrictions are clear. For example, to visit the Library you must have Journalism clear, for the Gym - Athletics. This includes jogging to them.

Rabbithole Community Lots: You may visit them or jog to them, collect rocks etc on them. You MAY do any pop up opportunities that require you to visit the lot as long as they don't break other restrictions such as delivering food if you haven't yet cleared Culinary. Work opportunities are generally not restricted. You may NOT perform activities within the building that are specifically restricted such as registering as self-employed at the City Hall if Politics isn't clear, WooHooing in the building if Medical isn't clear...you get the picture...

PET UPDATES

UPDATE TO TOURNAMENT RULES REGARDING PETS:

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Pets

9/18/2016

In an effort to better incorporate Pets into the challenge, we added caring for Pets as an alternate step in clearing Naturalist. We have also added an Ending Requirement where you must have a surviving pet of the bloodline on the lot at the end of the challenge.

After much testing we have decided to relax the rules around owning Cats and Dogs and how you can get breeding partners for them.

Essentially, we have eliminated Education as a prerequisite for training Pets and Military as a prerequisite for Cats and Dogs to hunt. Pets take a lot of extra effort to manage, take up space in your cramped home and take up slots that you might want to have available for spares. So as a trade-off we will allow you to train your Pets to hunt and you may adopt Pets from the shelter so you can provide a mate to breed your with your Pet in order to produce an heir.

We have also added ways to get 'rid' of unwanted or needed pets.

Please refer to the Pets page in the Wiki for all requirements around owning Cats, Dogs and Horses. It is found here.

UNIVERSITY LIFE UPDATES

RULE CLARIFICATIONS - University Life

9/15/2016

We updated University Life section of the wiki and made following changes:

• Dorms may still have up to 5 levels even though the new Architect restriction only allows 2.
• Founders are no longer allowed to upload their resume after finishing the University. They already chose their job before enrolling so they can just walk to the required rabbithole to get it.
• Your founder is allowed to use his/her smartphone to enroll to University even if you take "What Are Cellphones?" handicap.
• If you take "I'm Sorry, You're Overqualified." handicap, you have to create your founder first, then roll for your job.
• If you get a meteor strike while at University, you may take the meteor to the School of Science on campus instead of Science Facility in your home world in order to unlock its benefits.
• "The Eyes Have It" handicap is incompatible with "Green Revolution" (Plant sims)
• Plant sims may not photosynthesize before Symphonics is lifted.

We would also like to clarify that you ARE allowed to delete or move into family inventory any NPC graves that land on your lot even if Paranormal hasn't been lifted.

BIG PARK CLARIFICATION

Big Park Clarification

9/14/2016

We will not be allowing the Performance stage to be part of your Big Park in Network. You can now audition for a performance at any outside venue at any time during work hours with a Showtime career. This will not be restricted by Military.

Should you build your park, you are not limited to the 8X8 area nor are you required to build on a foundation or stilts.

Showtime career rules will be clarified in the wiki within the next few days. And remember that we have a blog that will be kept updated with rule changes!
