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...

Dust Bunny

 



In the last episode of The Glimmerbrook Witch, Willow went back inside her home after the party and found that her house was completely filthy.  To top it all, a Dust Bunny was sitting in the middle of the floor jumping around in a little pile of dust, squeeking.

Now, as last time was the first time I had played the game since installing The Sims 4 Kits, Willow didn't have a vacuum cleaner.  So before recording this episode, I purchased one for her, along with a couple of other items.


Before cleaning up however, I decided to let Willow interact with this cute yet filthy creature.  I had watched James Turner's video on YouTube where his Sim made over 25,000 simoleons in one night so I thought I would give this a try.  

Willow was able to ask the Dust Bunny to search for valuables in the home and the Dust Bunny gave her a few simoleons, not much, but a few.  However, after Willow had a few interactions with the Dust Bunny, such as "feeding dust" and "petting", she was able to befriend him.  She named him "Freckles" and now Freckles can live in his little pile of dust in a clean home without the vacuum cleaner vacuuming him up.  Of course you can still do so if you want to.  You can even step on him.  But that would be cruel, even for an evil witch.


The Dust Bunny came up trumps with finding Willow a couple of crystals which she copy pastoed and then he gave her a gold plate worth over 10,000 simoleons which Willow immediately sold.  Silly.  Why didn't she copy pasto it!!!???  Maybe next time....

Willow now has over 65,000 simoleons with what the Dust Bunny gave her and what she harvested from her money trees.  It won't be long before Willow will be able to afford to buy The Witch's House which I built for her.

This evil witch still needs to learn the ultimate Practical spell so she decided to go back to the Magic Realm.  She seeks out the Sage of Practical Magic but unfortunately she asks for the wrong thing and still doesn't learn the Rite of Ascension.  Of course, next time she will.
