Inferniate

 Episode 3 of The Glimmerbrook Witch shows how far Willow has come in her magical endeavours.


Fire played an important part of Willow's previous incarnation where she would put the Sim to sleep with a sleep potion and then set them on fire.  Her fascination with fire continues in her present life, especially as she has now learned the spell "inferniate".


This spell does what it says on the jar (or in this case, the spell book).  Of course, as with everything in life, you reap what you sow and this extends to Sims.  


Any spell can backfire and unfortunately for Willow, it does.  However, this lady's not for turning, or should I say, this witch is not for turning because no matter what happens to Willow, albeit through her own deeds, she will not be deterred from her evil ways.

It's Better than Fruitcake

There are a few new "deaths" that have been added to The Sims 4 over the past few years.  One in particular is rather dramatic which is death by pufferfish.


A certain food dish in the game is Pufferfish Nigiri when if cooked of excellent quality will not harm Sims when eaten.  However, if cooked of poor quality, it can cause a sudden case of death.  If a Sim has high cooking skill then he or she can cook an excellent quality dish. If however, as in Willow Mendip's case, the cooking skill is low then the dish is of poor quality.  In order to learn how to cook this "speciality", a Sim must eat the dish from the Japanese food stall which, I hasten to add, is always of excellent quality.


As in all of The Sims prequels to TS4, when a Sim moves into a new home, the neighbours come to welcome them to the new neighbourhood.  The Sims 4 is no different.  This allows your Sims to meet new people and get acquainted with the kindly neighbours who, in this version of the game, bring "fruit cake" with them.  But, this is not just any fruit cake.  This is gourmet fruit cake.


Willow of course had other ideas.  The gourmet fruit cake tends to leave a nasty taste in the mouth for a few hours so she decided to cook her own speciality - Pufferfish Nigiri.


Here's a little snippet of Part 2 of The Glimmerbrook Witch:

Returning to YouTube

So life seems to have a habit of stopping you from doing the things you really enjoy sometimes.  However, we all get through it and see a light at the end of the tunnel.


That being said, I am really excited to be doing a new Let's Play of The Sims 4 on You Tube.  I have resurrected Willow Mendip (the evil witch) and she is just as evil but perhaps in a different kind of way.  Here is a snippet of my first video:
