Police Station INFERNO!

As we all know, Willow is very fond of fire.  There are a few places in the little town of Dragon Valley where she has lit fires and killed quite a few Sims.  However, there are some places that she hasn't experimented with, one such place being the Police Station.

Now, one would think that lighting fires outside of the Police Station would be a very silly thing to do.  But, we are talking about The Sims and Sims police aren't the brightest of bulbs in the pack.

So, after playing with Tabitha for a while and chatting with the butler, Willow makes her way to the Police Station.  

After lighting a few fires outside, quite a few Sims come running, waving their arms about in the air, jumping up and down and screaming, as per usual.  Willow continues to light fires about them, consuming Essence of Magic magical elixirs inbetween to fill her magic bar until she receives a telephone call from her agent.

An opportunity of a radio commercial is being offered for simoleons and fame.  Willow accepts.

She then continues to light more fires at the Police Station, setting Sims alight and fire blasting bushes and dead leaves with the fire blast spell until the area looks like a blazing inferno.  Leaving these poor Sims to get on with putting out the fires and/or burning to death, she then pops along to the Business Office to record the commercial.

Unfortunately, no-one dies at the Police Station so after recording the commercial for Llama Musk perfume, Willow decides to venture to the Bistro.  Another venue she hasn't tried out yet, but she won't be eating there...

Kids Stuff 2

 

Following on from my video "Kids Stuff", I have captured more things that kids done in The Sims 2 which we don't have in The Sims 4 and most things that we never actually got again, even in The Sims 3.  Simple things like playing games with friends and siblings such as cops 'n' robbers and running to greet a parent home from work were little details that made The Sims 2 so great.

All of these little snippets I have placed in this video entitled "Kids Stuff 2", even if only for posterity.  I am sure that I will get even more bits and pieces and odds and bobs as time goes on.

I hope you enjoy this little video and that it brings back some good memories for you if you ever played The Sims 2 or, if you've never played this version of The Sims, that you enjoy watching some cool stuff from an old, but still very popular, game.

Let me know what you think in the comments below!

Cheers!

TOMB of the First Emperor

The opportunity for work that John must fulfil in China is getting a little long-winded.  He has sparred with a couple of Sims, namely Maya Wang and Shen Su but the opportunity has still not completed.  He calls for a third Sim to hopefully complete the opportunity but by this time, John is too tired.  Cancelling this opportunity is now a better idea as John still has a small adventure to complete before he returns home.

He needs to give some common relics to an elderly Sim which he does so and then is given a task to retrieve a relic from Hui Young Kim which was loaned to her years ago.  John is able to recover the relic and gives this back to the elderly Sim who in turn, gives him a key to the Tomb of the First Emperor which is where the Terracotta Army is situated.

So now this small favour for an elderly Sim has turned into a decent adventure!

John travels to the tomb and enters via the stairs below the terracotta army statues.  A small room below contains a few decorative items and a keystone on the wall.  Here, John proceeds to place the key in the keystone and immediately a staircase opens into another room below which holds treasure chests and a locked door.

It seems that what looked like a very small tomb is in fact a large one and hopefully full of treasure.
