The Wedding

 

There has been a lot of talk lately about a new game pack on the theme of Weddings coming to The Sims 4.

I have only had a couple of weddings in the past whilst playing TS4 but it didn't seem as exciting as previous The Sims games.

The Sims 2 has always been my go-to for comparisons as I feel the game had so much depth to it and so whilst playing my own personal game, it got to the point where two of my Sims were to be married.  I decided to record everything and I'm so glad I did!

There was quite a lot that I had forgotten about, such as the cutting of the cake and making a toast.  Of course the in-game wedding vows video also came into play which brought back so many memories!

My Sims booked their honeymoon before the wedding and the car automatically came to pick them up after the party was over, taking them to their chosen vacation world.  I think this is a lovely touch to the game, something that we haven't had since in The Sims, as with a lot of things.

If EA do release a wedding pack for The Sims 4, although it will look pretty, as does the game, I am not sure if it would bring the gameplay that we had in TS2.  I would love to be proven wrong but so far...

I would love to hear what you think - let me know in the comments section below!

Cheers!

Gothique Library CARNAGE!

As I stated in my previous post, Willow loves to visit new places to cast fire blast spells, just to see what happens.  This episode is no different.

In the little town of Dragon Valley, there are two libraries.  One that shipped with the world and the other is one I purchased from The Sims 3 Store entitled "The Gothique Library".  It seems to go well with the theme of Dragon Valley and witches.  So, Willow decides to travel there as she has never been there before.

The Gothique Library fortunately has a body of water nearby and is situated near a river so Willow knows that if she does set herself on fire, she will be able to extinguish herself quickly.  Of course, the same would go for any other sim that would be set alight too.  All they would need to do is jump in the river, or so you would think...

Willow proceeds to cast a fire blast spell on the steps of the library and a few more around the bottom of the steps, just for good measure.

Soon enough, some sims come running but instead of trying to put out the fire, they do what comes more naturally to them, they scream and shout, wave their arms around in the air and jump up and down.

Soon enough, one sim is engulfed by the flames and shortly after, another bites the dust.

Willow watches as the Grim Reaper reaps yet two more souls, cackling away like the evil witch that she is.

The KEY to the INNERMOST CHAMBERS

 

After sleeping the night in a tent at a nearby campsite, John returns to the tomb to continue on his quest to obtain the spear from the treasure chest.

But first, John must enter the large room which holds a treasure chest, some floor panels and a movable statue.  This room is also full of traps so John must be guided on the green or jade, path in order not to be hit by the darts.

First of all, John opens the treasure chest which contains a star key and even though he does have a few skeleton keys in his inventory which would open these star and moon shaped keystones, one can never have enough keys, especially when you're an adventurer!

John proceeds to move the statue and after placing this on floor panels together with standing on some other panels, he eventually manages to "hit the right button" and a staircase opens up allowing him to move deeper into the tomb.

As John descends the staircase, he sees a locked door with a star keystone.  He immediately places the star key into the lock and the door opens, revealing a dive well and 3 treasure chests.  In front of the chests however, there is a large boulder.  No problem for John as he has Pangu's Axe to annihilate it!

The treasure chests hold some money, ancient coins and a dive well fragment.  Nothing really of any large value but still treasure all the same.

John dives into the dive well and searches through the pitch dark depths.  He finds a secret tunnel which he swims through and comes out into a long corridor which holds some coffins.  One coffin is blue, another green and the rest are white.  John decides to open the green coffin first as it is the colour of jade, which seems to be the theme of this tomb.  John is correct in looking in this coffin as he finds a Key to the Innermost Chambers of the First Emperor!

Walking to the end of the corridor, John goes through another door which leads him to a floor panel which he can stand on.  This unlocks a secret door to the corridor which he has just been in which contains the 6 coffins.

John proceeds to look in another coffin or two.  Will he find more treasure or will he find a mummy?
