House Party

 

As we all know, Willow enjoys a good house party and throwing a few spells around here and there.

Today is no exception.  It's Winter and freezing cold so Willow decides to have a house party in her garden.

To stop her guests from going inside her cosy warm home, she decides to lock the door....

Of course, there is a bonfire in her garden and also a fire pit so her guests can actually keep warm as long as they remember to keep the fire pit going by adding fresh logs.  However, Sims aren't the smartest of people so having the fire pit burn out is a common occurrence.

So, back to the party.

Willow invites a few acquaintances over but checking on the proposed guest list, there aren't many Sims to choose from as most of them are dead.  She still manages to invite around 5 Sims and plays with the Dust Bunny whilst waiting for them to arrive.

One by one they gather onto Willow's lot and make their way to the fire pit.  One particular Sim lights it (with success) and proceeds to roast marshmallows.  The others gather around, also trying to keep warm.

Willow decides to cast a couple of Chillio spells.  Now you would think that the fire pit would thaw them out but no.  Unlike the Inferniate spell, these Sims stay at the roaring fire pit, completely frozen.

As time goes on, one Sim puts a fresh log on the fire and yes, you guessed it, everything goes up in flames.  Fortunately the Sims gathered around (including the Chillioed ones who were no longer Chillioed), decide to run away to the front of the lot, waving their arms around in fear.

Now it seems to me that although the Inferniate spell does the job on home lots, the fire pit seems to be more lethal.  Even though no Sim burns to death, more do die at the fire pit than anywhere else.

To make a further point, one Sim drops down dead through freezing.  But this wasn't one of the Sims that Willow cast the Chillio spell on.  This was because of the freezing weather.

My conclusion therefore is that if you want to kill Sims in game, you really don't need an evil witch to do it.  A fire pit at any time of the year, a party in the garden in the freezing cold Winter months and in the scorching Summer months will do the trick.  Oh and let's not forget Pufferfish Nigiri.  As long as your Sim has low cooking skill, their guests will meet the Grim Reaper sooner rather than later.

Until next time...

Weenie Roast

 

As you may already know, Willow is no stranger to parties.  She also loves the outdoors so what better than to hold a Weenie Roast outside by the campfire and entertain a few guests.

Even though Willow is an evil witch and enjoys making lethal Pufferfish Nigiri for Sims who visit her, sometimes things happen on her home lot that are beyond her control. 

The camp fire is pretty lethal at the best of times and when a few Sims start throwing logs to add fuel, this can make matters even worse.

In this episode, again Willow invites Sims that she doesn't like to her party and as usual, they all turn up.

Gathering by the fire pit, roasting marshmallows and vomiting over the mere sight of one Sim that Willow had previously cast the Strangeify spell on at Magnolia Blossom Park, the little wooden log seats are suddenly set alight.  Now, this isn't Willow's fault.  She didn't cast an Inferniate spell, neither is she near the fire pit at the time.  Willow is completely innocent.  She even tries to put the fire out (!!??) but then decides to wait at the front of the house with the rest of her guests until it's all over.  And, it's all over when the Grim Reaper arrives...

Once the Grim Reaper has reaped the soul of the poor unsuspecting Sim, Willow, with the help of her fire extinguisher, puts the fire out.  Now the coast is clear, her guests come back to gather around the fire pit again, looking rather sad after witnessing the death of yet another Sim.

To cheer her guests up, Willow decides to prepare Pufferfish Nigiri for them.  Now, this is where we catch a glimpse of the real Willow.  The real evil witch that is buried inside.

As her guests consume the poor quality dish, two more Sims meet their fate.  One falls face first onto his plate and the other on her living room floor.  The remaining three Sims, although playing with clay, still find time to cry at the sight of these deaths.  But not Willow.  Oh no!  Willow claps and jumps up and down in glee, revelling in the misery that she has caused.

This is a true evil witch.  This is Willow Mendip.

Spells, Spells and More Spells!

 

There are three different types of spells in The Sims 4 that a witch can learn, namely Practical, Mischief and Untamed.  I have however noticed that Willow seems to use more of the Untamed spells such as Chillio and Inferniate as opposed to any of the others.  She has used Burgliate which is a Mischief spell but there are so many more that she can try out.  So, in this episode, we see Willow travel to Willow Creek's Magnolia Blossom Park to see what mischief and mayhem she can cause.

As it is now Winter, Magnolia Blossom Park is covered in a thick layer of snow and it is absolutely freezing - much to Willow's delight!

She proceeds to make a Snow Pal and wait for unsuspecting Sims to arrive on the lot.  Sure enough, a few Sims turn up and Willow starts to try out the other spells that she has learned.

As we already know, starting a fire on a community lot is rather futile as Sims are now equipped with fire extinguishers and all tend to have the "brave" trait.  So in order for Willow to stop them in their tracks, she uses the Morphiate spell on them.  One by one the Sims change into trees, bowls of candy, bunnies and suits of armor.  This enables Willow to light a few fires around them.  Of course, a couple of Sims get Chillioed as usual and some other Sims get into fights through Willow's Furio spell.

Now in order for Willow to attain the Lifestyle of Adrenalin Seeker which came with the Snowy Escape expansion pack, she must perform a few daring feats.  One of them being that she needs to have fights with other Sims.

The Adrenalin Seeker Lifestyle, if maintained, will mean that Willow will not panic during a fire and will find it exciting.  As she tends to produce a fire extinguisher during a fire when I'm not looking, I think this Lifestyle will be good for her, seeing that she's an evil witch and really should find fire exciting.

So Willow decides to have a fight with one such Sim at Magnolia Blossom Park.  Unfortunately for Willow, she lost the fight and immediately Strangeified the Sim with the Strageify spell, turning the Sim into what looked like a green zombie.  As this Sim became so abhorrent to all others, a few Sims threw up at the sight of her.

Having filled her boots so to speak with casting a few spells that she hadn't used before and causing mischief and mayhem at the park, Willow decided to return home to see what her little dust bunny was up to.

Maybe next time Willow will have another party...
