I have my computer back now! *cheers* Unfortunately I can’t Sim for the next two nights, as I have stuff going on (real life stuff! Oh no! *gasp*), but I have some screenshots to share from Monday night’s gameplay. So if you’d like to hear more about the Dunningtons in Moonlight Falls, read on!
I thought wicked step-father/evil wizard Hayden needed a creepy maid, so I placed Bonehilda’s coffin on the premises. She seems cheerful and tidy enough, but the cat hates her.
And she scares poor Cowardly Lenore to bits, giving her a hefty negative moodlet for three hours afterwards. It’s hard to keep that poor girl happy with all of the fright she’s experiencing!
Aww, don’t worry, Bonehilda…you look fabulous.
I thought it was cute that Mystic the cat thinks about witches whenever he’s hanging around his wizardly master.
And Hayden’s garden is developing nicely…it’ll be nice when he can grow some more ingredients for elixirs; his career as a self-employed alchemist is going nowhere at the moment.
At least he can harvest honey for free behind the elixir shop!
OK, it’s a terrible idea to have Coward Sims living in Moonlight Falls…they can’t even visit the community pool without fainting.
Poor Lenore always looks anxious…
I thought maybe getting her fortune told might cheer her up, so I sent her off to the gypsy wagon…
…but she decided it was all bunk and left before she received a fortune! D’oh.
Meanwhile, Hayden had just learned a few dastardly spells and wanted to try them out, so he ventured to Varg’s Tavern. He tried to cast Ice Blast on another Sim, but it backfired!
He had more success on his second attempt:
Hayden: Huh. It worked. What now?
One of my Sims got a Ghost of the Darned gnome as a prize in the Claw machine. As with other gnomes I’ve experienced, they like to hang around the garden. Although this one hangs around in midair…
And I’m learning more about the pre-mades around town…
I thought it was interesting that Joe and Jules MacDuff appear to be twins, but one is a spellcaster…
…and the other one isn’t.
And this guy is part of a household known as the “Trustifarians”; they’re all total hippies but they’re living off of an inheritance, so they’re actually quite rich. Anyway, the dad of the family completely cracked me up when he showed up in Varg’s Tavern one night, dressed like this:
And his name? Rainflower Ivy.
Heehee.
Lastly, here are a couple of random landscape shots…I call this first one “Butterflies, Turtle, and Mountain”:
Very apt, no? :D
And this one is actually from my regular computer, before it crapped out on me:
That’s it for now…thanks for reading, and Happy Simming!
YEAH for your computer!!! (but DOH for real life preventing you from enjoying it!)
Oh, dear, I laughed so hard at the swimming-pool picture, with Sims fainted in the hall! *lol* It’s Jules MacDuff? He seems as scared as Lenore, on his bike. Poor Lenore freaked out by Bonehilda! *lol*
Rainflower Ivy! *lol* He looks like a mix of Jerry Garcia and Freddie Mercury! :D
*squee* at the turtle! It’s always so much fun to peek in your game, Jen!
Actually, I think that’s Joe MacDuff that fainted! But I could be wrong; they look very alike! :D Joe is the non-magical twin, I think. He’s a Coward like Lenore, so they get along well and are actually becoming great friends. ;) And LOL, you are so right about Rainflower looking like a mix of Jerry Garcia and Freddie Mercury! That’s spot-on! *rofl*
Can I has the haunted gnome, pweese? That was one thing I did like about Sims 3, the gnomes moved about as if they weren’t inanimate garden ornaments! And I want a skeleton maid! This was a great update, Jen, and everything looked great, too! I found something new in the Sims 2 yesterday. If a ghost is roaming around the lot, any cats on said lot will follow it around the house. Never seen that happen before :-)
I really like the gnomes in Sims 3, too! They’re a hoot. :) And LOL at the cats following ghosts around in Sims 2! I didn’t know they did that! (Or I’ve just forgotten! Heh) Thanks for commenting; it’s so great to be seeing you around again! :)
LOL, I just sent my condolences to your computer earlier today – glad to see you got it back! ;)
RL sucks, doesn’t it? It gets in the way of everything!
I didn’t think to put a cowardly sim in Moonlight Falls, but it definitely sounds like a difficult task. Maybe they should just, I dunno, never leave the house? Oh, but then they’d get stir crazy! Looks like they’re doomed to being unhappy, hahaha!
Ahh, so THAT’S who Rainflower Ivy is! I keep seeing his picture in the town updates, but none of my sims have ran into him yet. Wow. That is hilarious!
LOL, thanks for commenting, Cheezy! :-D Yes, I think Lenore is a bit doomed. Maybe when she becomes a YA I’ll allow her to get rid of her Coward trait since she would totally be used to Supernaturals running around by then!
That gnome is so cute…really love it. Wow it seems that being a coward in that town really is a horrible trait to have, But it adds to the gameplay for sure…all those passed out sims hehee
