Building Snowpals

 

It's still mid-Winter in the little town of Glimmerbrook and the day before Winterfest.  Caleb Vatore has visited Willow at her home and there is thick snow laying on the ground.

If you have Eco Lifestyle installed in your game, you won't be a stranger to the NAP Inspector.  He's the guy who comes to your house uninvited to make sure that you are in compliance with the neighbourhood rules, i.e. a recycling initiative.  If you are not in compliance then your bills will be higher.  Much like a Tax Inspector, this sim isn't liked very much.  Now, higher bills doesn't worry Willow as she has plenty of money which she is growing on trees in her garden.  However, it's the principle...

Willow decides to Chillio the NAP Inspector in which she takes great delight.  However, once thawed, the Inspector tells her she is not in compliance and quickly takes his leave.  Being stupid, he will probably be back.  Our evil witch will be waiting.

Willow then decides to take Caleb out and about to build some snowpals.

They arrive at Magnolia Blossom Park in Willow Creek and start to build snowpals together in the freezing cold.  As Caleb is basically a "living dead" sim, i.e. a vampire and Willow loves the outdoors, the temperature doesn't seem to bother them.

While they are building, a few other sims appear in the park.  As stated in my previous post, Willow doesn't have many acquaintances left as she has killed most of them so going out and about is a good way of meeting new sims.

Willow, being a supernatural sim herself, doesn't really want to make enemies with vampires or other witchy sims so she decides to give a "cheerful introduction" to those she meets at the park.  After introducing herself, she is then able to see whether or not the sim is a witch.  However, it is a little harder to find out if the sims that she meets are vampires.  In The Sims 3, they had a mark on their necks but I cannot see anything like that on sims necks in The Sims 4.  One way of finding out if the sim is a vampire is to be mean to them.  So much so that if they are a vampire, they will turn into their dark form and attack.  This isn't something that Willow wants to see or experience!

So, finding out if a sim is a vampire is impossible on first glance.

Being nice to other sims however has it's benefits as the other sim is more likely to give you a gift.  In Willow's case, she was given a "Morcubus" by Cassandra Goth.  A Morcubus is a little figurine which is found in the world by digging up rocks and which can also be used as a potion ingredient.  Although Willow has a few of these in her inventory, this was still a thoughtful gift.

As not many sims were arriving at the park, Willow decided to take Caleb to the bar in Glimmerbrook.  She met a few sims there too and one such sim by the name of Milan Orourke she found was a mean witch.  Willow added this sim to her coven, making four members of mean witches.  Another sim who she gave a cheerful introduction to gave her a Furium which is a collectible crystal/rock and which can also be used in potions.

Although in this episode Willow didn't make any enemies, she met a few very friendly sims and had quite an enjoyable outing with Caleb.

Tomorrow is Winterfest.  Time for a party...
