FOUNDER UNIVERSITY

You may go to University for 4 terms or until you graduate, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. You can't graduate in 3 terms and then go back for another.

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/page/edit/University+Life

ALIEN TECHNOLOGY, WORLD ADVENTURES METHOD

The various requirements need not all be performed by a single Sim. For example, if you have 1 Sim encounter a Mummy, that counts - even if that Sim later dies or leaves the household.

GAMER, JACK OF ALL TRADES

Due to the excessive difficulty of Gamer via Jack of All Trades, we're making it easier. The details are on the wiki, but the summary is:

- No longer need to reach level 4 in Politics or Law Enforcement.

- No longer need to reach level 3 as a grocery store clerk.

- No longer need to reach level 5 Cooking.

- If you don't have Computer Whiz, you can alternatively use Handiness 10 instead of hacking.

ZOMBIE DAY AND BASEMENT TRAVEL

If you haven't lifted Politics, and you have some of your house above ground and some below ground, you MAY travel between the above ground and below ground areas of your house during Zombie hours. You must stay within the 8x8 area, and you cannot linger - you can only be outdoors while moving from the basement to the upper floors or vice versa.

If you HAVE lifted Politics, then you may not go outside at all during zombie hours, except in your original 8x8 area as above. (In case you haven't finished building your Politics house yet).

Of course if you've lifted Military and Paranormal there are no more zombies, so you may do as you wish.

STYLIST PROFESSION

We were under the impression that painting increased your work performance the same way the drafting table did and have discovered painting doesn't increase performance at all. Only the sketches made on the drafting table will. Therefore if your sim is in the Stylist Profession in an attempt to clear Entertainment, you may purchase the drafting table. You may still only have one until Business is lifted so if you are doing Architect and Stylist at the same time your sims will have to share.

PRESTIGE HUMANS AND SNEAKY SIMS

It turns out that mermaids (like aliens) cannot be identified as such in the relationship panel. Should your prestige human heir accidentally breed with or marry such a Sim, you're still OK - but any heirs must be pure human (must never have had a Hydration or Brain Power need, for example). Mermaid or alien offspring from such a union can still lift a restriction, but they cannot ever be the heir.

DONATIONS TO CHARITY

Donations to charity are restricted by Espionage.

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Espionage

ALIEN TECHNOLOGY INTO THE FUTURE

You must have lifted Military to attempt this, as the requirements mean your Sim must move around the town.

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Alien+Technology

GUITAR AND ENTERTAINMENT

You may not play guitar at all in public before lifting Entertainment, regardless of whether you perform for tips or play alone.

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Entertainment

LAUNDRY FACILITIES

It is possible to have hampers without Ambitions. We've decided to extend the rule for Ambitions that requires you to have a hamper on the lot before lifting Medical. If your Buy Mode objects contain any hampers, you have to have one on the lot if you haven't lifted Medical. Just buy and place a hamper somewhere on the lot - no blooper, of course. http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Medical http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Science (restricts laundry facilities, but you make remove the hamper once you have lifted Medical).

ARCHITECT PROFESSION

You may now ignore all buy/build restrictions while remodelling homes for the Architect profession.

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Architect

PROFESSIONS

Professionals (Firemen, Stylists, etc.) are not considered Service Sims - you may socialise with them before Espionage is lifted. If YOUR Sim is a professional, he may consider his fellow professionals to be co-workers for the purposes of not losing your job due to forced days off for Master Thief purposes.

ELIXIR PURCHASES

Previously there was not a rule restricting the purchase of Elixirs before Paranormal was lifted. That has been tweaked to restrict the purchase of Elixirs by Paranormal as well as Military (If the Elixir Store is not in your network) and Business.

IF you have already purchased them and Paranormal is not clear, then simply delete them. You will not have to take a penalty.

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Paranormal

LIBRARY BEFORE JOURNALISM

If you change your Library lot to a Small Park, you MAY visit it before Journalism is lifted (assuming it is in your network, or you have lifted Military), but only to meet with and interact with other Sims.

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Journalism

AMBROSIA FOR (NOT QUITE) EVERYBODY!

It is now legal to make and eat ambrosia, provided you've lifted Culinary, Naturalist (plus its prerequisites), and Paranormal. In particular, even prestige ghosts can do so (though not the current heir).

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Paranormal

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Naturalist

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Culinary

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Supernatural+Sims

EXTENDED LIFESPAN

The "90 day rule" (also the "76 day rule") for non-prestige occults has been clarified to apply no matter what. If you chug Young Again potions, you still have to count the total days your Sim has been in the household against the 76/90 day limit.

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/The+Rules

UNIVERSITY START

You can't use "illegal" beds for your founder at Uni, nor bring them home with you (indeed, you shouldn't have such items at all in the dorm).

If you've already broken this rule, you may (without restriction) replace your "illegal" beds with "legal" beds and adjust your funds so that you neither gain nor lose money. We apologise for the confusion.

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/University+Life

RANKED CHESS

Inviting ranked opponents to play chess is covered under Gamer.

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Gamer

TOURNAMENT RULE TWEAK: NRAAS STORY PROGRESSION SETTINGS:

TOURNAMENT RULE TWEAK: NRAAS STORY PROGRESSION SETTINGS:

When setting up Nraas Story Progressions make sure you also change newborn gender to random. General options -> Options: pregnancy -> Newborn gender: Set to random.

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Mods

PRESTIGE HUMANS, WITCHES, AND PLANTS

You now change the lifespan settings for prestige human, witch, and plant challenges when your founder becomes an elder, not when you lift Hopelessness.

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Supernatural+Sims

WORLD ADVENTURE ZOMBIES

There is no enforced curfew for zombie day while travelling - if you fink you're 'ard enough, the foreign governments aren't going to stop you.

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Military

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Paranormal

CULINARY AND GROUP MEALS

You need at least 2 Sims of child age or higher living in the household in order to make group meals. A founder single Mum with an infant is still stuck with single serving meals until her kid grows up a bit.

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Culinary

ARCHITECT, BASE GAME METHOD

We've eliminated the requirement to maxx Charisma and Writing for the base game Architect method, for much the same reasons as the Education change.

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Architect

EDUCATION, BASE GAME METHOD

We've drastically reduced the Painting and Handiness requirements for the base game Education lift. Maxxing 4 skills AND completing a bunch of challenges was deemed much too hard, and basically impossible for the founder to complete without Uni time.

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Education

FAIRIES AND FAIRY HOUSES

Fairies MAY use fairy based interactions (frolic, fairy dust, etc) before lifting Paranormal (they may not use spells or auras though).

Fairy houses are banned for the entire challenge, as they are very overpowered for fairy families.

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Paranormal

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Supernatural

SHOWTIME GIGS

You may now perform gigs at venues that are not in your network even before Military is lifted.

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Military

BOOKCASES

TOURNAMENT CLARIFICATION: BOOKCASES
Journalism stated you could only buy the cheapest bookcase available. That has been amended to the following: 
Sims may only have only ONE bookshelf for the household, and it must not have a Fun score greater than 2 and no environment score.
.

ALIEN TECHNOLOGY, WORLD ADVENTURES METHOD

We have noted the travel restrictions, and clarified that the entire household can collaborate on the collection.

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Alien+Technology

MOB PAYMENTS

Mob payments begin on the FIRST Monday. There is no 1 week grace period. We do not anticipate this makes much difference - most players will spend almost all their cash on building their house on the Sunday.

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Criminal

THE NETWORK

The network is a MILITARY restriction. Military restricts where you can go; if it is in your network, then even if Military would otherwise not allow you to go there (ie it's not your home, work, or school), you may.

But it doesn't suppress any other restrictions. For example, until you lift Journalism you may not visit the Library, EVEN IF IT IS IN YOUR NETWORK.

UNIVERSITY TEXTBOOKS

We have decided that you MAY read and study from your textbook at Uni, regardless of Journalism.

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Journalism

REQUIRED LOTS

We've made a bunch of expansion related lots "recommended" rather than "required".

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Required+Lots

MERMAIDS

Previously you were not allowed to marry a mermaid unless Medical had been cleared.  This rule has been changed to allow it but discourages it: 

You may marry in a mermaid, however prior to Medical restrictions being cleared they could die quickly.

• If they aren't able to swim in the ocean or in a swimming pool, and they don't die, then they will revert in a few days to fully human.

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Island+Paradise

 

Nraas Story Progression Settings

We have updated the required settings for Nraas Story Progression. It is listed on the mods page in the wiki.

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Mods

PRESTIGE HUMAN AND ALIEN

If you're doing a prestige human male and get made alien pregnant before you lift Hopelessness, you can switch to prestige alien with no penalty. Conversely, if you're doing prestige alien and fail to get made alien pregnant (if male) or fail to meet any aliens you could breed with (if female) before Hopelessness is lifted, you can switch to prestige human without penalty.

http://ts3ac.wikispaces.com/Supernatural+Sims

RETUNER MOD

The NRAAS Retuner mod IS allowed, but you can only use it to suppress actions you could normally cancel. You cannot use it to suppress Scolding, for example.

TEENS AND EDUCATION

Once you lift Education, your teens MAY go to school. They are not REQUIRED to do so.
