The Coven



There are a few different types of witches.  There are those who prefer to work with herbs and/or healing spells known as "Green Witches"; hereditary Witches are those who have been born into a witch family so they naturally follow "the craft".  Some witches prefer to work alone while others prefer to work as a group, known as a "Coven".

In Willow's previous incarnation during The Sims 3 years, she preferred to work alone.  Casting fire spells on community lots and against other Sims was something she practised on a daily basis.  There was the odd Sim here and there trying to put out the fires that Willow started but all in all, the neighbours waved their arms in the air screaming.  An evil witch in The Sims 3 was truly evil and Willow proved herself to be such.

In The Sims 4 however, as I have stated before, it seems that The Sims franchise has calmed down a little.  To have a truly evil witch in The Sims 4 is a lot harder.  For example, whenever Willow witnesses another Sims death, even if she doesn't like them and even if she has caused their demise, she will cry - on the outside.  On the inside however, she seems happy, revelling in their misery due to the evil trait.  The Willow Mendip of The Sims 3 would laugh an evil laugh and never shed a tear.



It seems also that the neighbours of The Sims 4 are all equipped with fire extinguishers.  As soon as they see a fire, they become brave and attempt to put the blaze out, unless it's on a residential lot.  That's when they scream.  That's when they wave their arms in the air.  That's when they run away.

So, in order to be able to have Sims of the neighbourhood on Willow's side and reduce the number of Sims on community lots with fire extinguishers, Willow created a coven.

They say there is "strength in numbers" so by creating "The Coven" (as this is what she named it), there would be many more witchy Sims casting fires and creating havoc and less Sims trying to be "do-gooders".

The Coven members were told that they could only be friendly with each other, scare everyone outside The Coven, be mean to everyone outside The Coven and to cast spells and use the cauldron.

Together with her army of witches, Willow set off to Pupperstone Park.  



As you can guess, the only thing she had in mind was to set the place alight.  She cast inferniate spell after inferniate spell, setting fires all over the lot, expecting her coven to follow suit but alas, not one cast a spell.  Not one seemed to be on Willow's side.  In fact they all had fire extinguishers......

It seems that Willow has been foiled.  Should she throw them out of The Coven?  Maybe.  Maybe not.  There must be a way to make this gathering of spellcasters turn evil and follow in Willow's footsteps.  This is something that Willow is still trying to figure out.
