LTW - Create 3 Monsters. . . . . . .

[pdxwinn]

I have been enjoying Ambitions - exploring the new LTW and new careers, etc. Today I got the option - 'Create 3 Monsters' as a lifetime wish. It gives no clue as to how to go about doing it or what career to work. I checked the Guide for guidance and did not see it listed so . . . . has anyone else gotten this as a lifetime wish? And if so, can you steer me in the right direction to complete it? (lol!)

Thanks!

We don't have a guide written for this one yet, but we're working on it.  You might find something in Carl's Inventor Guide.

I wish I had the description in front of me right now. It made me wonder even more on what career to follow. It states you may make the monsters via any way you can - science, invent and/ or the occult (something like that - lol!) I have done the Devinci lifetime wish but my Sim was registered as a sculptor - so I didn't know you could make Simbots as an inventor. Even at level 10 in inventing I couldn't make a Simbot - apparently only registered inventors can.

Hmm, I'm rambling - I've completed Divinci and the the Ghost hunter lifetime wish and neither gave me the option to make a monster. I have never done the Science career so have gotten her a job there as I've heard they can create hibrids (is that right?).

Anyway, thanks for the response. If you hear anything - please pass it my way.

Here is what it says in the Prima Guide :

"
Monster Maker"

*Create 3 Monsters

For some Sims, the ultimate pastime in the unending search for new types of Life.  Whether crafted through mystical,laborical, or convergent methods, occult creations are wondrous achievements for Sims who prefer to dabble in the unknown.  Some may call them "monsters", but to their creators they are just another member of the family.

I would say creating Simbots and/or mummies would fit that bill.  Just my 2 cents.

[pdxwinn]

I'll switch to the inventor path and see if Simbots count.

Thanks, I'll let you know how it turns out.

Simbots do count but you need to complete the chain of opportunities to do it (requires 1 chunk of palladium, 1 heart shaped pink diamond and 10 life fruit), that will give you the option to 'create mystery invention' on the work table. After that you just need the ingredients (palladium, pink diamond and life fruit) to make another one.

[Arkaine]

An easy way to do this is to get to 10 inventing and 7 gardening, take a bunch of special seeds and hope for a lifefruit plant while waiting for the simbot opportunity. To find pink diamonds the miner big invention seems to be a very effective way, you can also get palladium this way. Grow 30 lifefruits, find 3 pink diamonds and 3 palladium and start building.

Shouldn't take that long.

Of course the Miner doesn't count for collecting gems (for the heart-shaped cut), so you still need to actually find all the different gems, either through collecting in the wild, exploring tombs, or breaking space rocks.

Actually I think it might be easier and/or quicker to take a few trips to Egypt and collect urns and sarcophagus fragments there to create a bunch of mummies. With my style of playing I would choose the mummy creater route.

[AriaGirl77]

I'm wondering if reviving a ghost would count for this wish?  Either through the special opportunity that comes up now and then or through ambrosia, or maybe through some special opportunity as a ghost buster.

This sounds like a good LTW for Swede. lol

This sounds like a good LTW for Swede. lol

Ha, ha, you bet! My simbot has this LTW, not because I know exactly what defines a 'monster' (but I'm guessing simbots count), but because the world shall be ruled by mechanical monsters! *evil laugh*

I'm gonna' have him produce these babies until the human infestation is eradicated from Twinbrook.

Be sure to keep us apprised of that situation.

We know who deep down has an evil trait *looking over shoulder making sure Swede is not behind me* lol

You don't need "all" gems, you need 10, with WA installed you can get it without any of the rarer gems. With the collecting guide maps it should take you a sims day or so to get it given you take a short trip to france and find at least one of the rarer gems, if you got no luck than it might take up to 3 days but that would be surprising.

I thought about mummies, too, and gave it a try. It depends on how you count the "time", there is also a big luck factor in this LTW (no matter the way you choose). I think that in real-life time, inventing is fastest simply because you will spend almost all your time in fast forward as it requires little micro-management. If you count it in sims days though, it can get pretty close and luck in finding the pieces will pretty much make the difference as inventing is limited because it needs to grow lifefruits (never had trouble finding rare stones with miner), and mummy probably win in terms of non-travel days. And easy... well the inventing path revolves around 4 commands (invent, read book, tend garden and drill) so as far as easy goes... that is pretty much it. But nothing in the sims is particularly difficult anyway.

Hi pdxwinn,

I'm working on the LTW Create 3 Monsters Guide while I am writing here. I think it will be done end next week and if you want I can give you a related PM when I'm finished.
Thanks for opening this topic though, I can maybe use it for some information that I can have overlooked.

And screenshots, lots of them!

[templesmom]

Hey, in Leto85 awsome walk thru he uses his life time points to buy his third monster. Does that mean that you can do this life time wish but just buying three simbots? just want to clearify.

[Nora]

Any SimBots created through the "My Best Friend" Lifetime Reward do count towards the Lifetime Want.

[templesmom]

Awsome. Thank you.

[Pam]

Any SimBots created through the "My Best Friend" Lifetime Reward do count towards the Lifetime Want.

I believe they do.  I got a sneak peek at Leto's guide for this LTW and he wrote that getting a Simbot through the lifetime rewards completed the LTW for 3 monsters.

Robots and mummies will do, they will count as a monster. No matter how you will get them. Although, for the mummy: you need to create one yourself, with the canopic jars. You cannot turn your sim into one because that will not count. I have tested that and included it in the guide.
Ghost will not count in any way or situation. And I find that very pitiful.
Thanks for the compliment by the way!

Hey, Leto, here's one for you:  what about the clones my game keeps creating whenever my sims travel?  If they don't qualify as monsters, they should, the way they keep messing up my game!  Just kidding, I guess.

Let's be more specific — they're not just monsters. Those are your demons. 

[Schipperke]

Got that right.  Demon hunters, anyone?

[Castastic]

Got that right.  Demon hunters, anyone?

Now I'm thinking of "Supernatural" and the hot monster-hunting Winchesters (and the hot and socially incompetent angel), but they don't only hunt demons there, they hunt ghosts, vampires and werewolves too (and a mass of other stuff)! If we ever get that amazing EP filled with supernatural creatures, I want to have a "Hunter" career; as in a hunter of the supernatural, not poor animals! We don't only need more monsters, we need people to hunt them down and kill them, too!   *insane glee*
*clears throat* Yeah, this LTW sounds a bit tricky for newly made sims, but for sims you've already played with for a while and gotten some collecting and gardening done with already, it shouldn't be hard. My sim Arianna would be able to make a SimBot her first day, she already has a mass of Lifefruits, gems and metals to spare. And she sure needs someone to do the chores for her and her family, as I never give the family break enough for ridiculous things such as cleaning, gardening, doing the dishes, emptying the potty, etc.   They have Masterpieces to write and paint, and lots of things to collect around town, after all. A slave SimBot would be very useful, and I can't wait until getting Ambitions!
Hope I didn't go too much off-topic...   *innocent smile*
