Death at the Fall Festival

 


In this episode of The Evil Witch of Dragon Valley, we see Willow up to her old tricks again.  In fact, she never really stopped.  Being evil is Willows speciality.  Not only does she annihilate Sims, she laughs at their misfortune and demise.  It's a wonder that Willow has any friends but of course the Friendship elixir helps with that.  Being a friend of Willows means that you stand less of a chance of getting burned to death.

As it's Autumn in Dragon Valley, the Fall Festival has come to town.  Full of Halloween fun things to do such as pumpkin picking and the Haunted House, the Fall Festival is also a great place to start fires.  Especially near the haystacks which lay conveniently by the Haunted House attraction.


Willow, being evil, takes advantage of this and proceeds to light a couple of fires.  Four in fact.  Just little ones which turn into an inferno.  A few do-gooders come by and try and put out these fires to no avail.  Even a ghost tries to help.  However, Willow has got this!  And before long a poor Sim who just happened to be in the vicinity of an evil witch perishes by the blaze.


Another Sim therefore bites the dust and the flames are put out with the grand entrance of the Grim Reaper.

The Grim Reaper reaps very quickly in The Sims 3 and with a wave of his scythe, he is gone in a puff of black smoke.

So Willow has struck again and goes on to create more devastation.

Dark Malevolence

 


I have really been enjoying building in The Sims 4, much more than in previous The Sims games.  I think, for me, the best part is piecing together the images and in game videos to create stop motion videos for my You Tube channel.  

My favourite "genre" of The Sims is the occult - witches, vampires and haunted things so when the Sims Team released the Paranormal Stuff Pack, I was on cloud nine!

Of course I knew I had to create a haunted house with this new stuff pack, incorporating items from the Spooky Stuff pack, the Vampires Game Pack and Realm of Magic.  I wanted the house to be dark, unkempt, old, dirty and haunted.



Dark Malevolence consists of three floors, with two bedrooms and one bathroom.  A couple of the rooms can of course be converted into bedrooms should you want this in your game.  One room is dedicated as a fortune telling room which houses the table with a crystal ball atop.


All rooms of the house, including the hallway and both landings, are lavishly decorated with expensive paintings and of course the odd spider web or two, not to mention the holes and scratches in the walls.


The garden has gravestones, an old bird bath, picnic table, dried up well and an old pond.  Plenty of weeds and dead trees adorn the lot with a little bit of greenery from the plants and trees that are not quite yet dead.


Gargoyles adorn the gateposts and one sits on the roof, watching and waiting.......

It took me a little while to create "Dark Malevolence" but I had so much fun doing it and I am pleased with the way it turned out.

If you would like this build in your game, you can download it for free on The Sims 4 Gallery - just search for my ID: TotallySimlish.  I would love to hear what you think!
