Blue Moon Potions, Potables and Ponderings

Okyy... I'm OK with just water. What a weird and unexpected place... I can see many thoughts shared, mostly about the supernatural... Mysterious...

Sometimes I like to look into The Sims console games. And these have some exclusive weird things. For me, the most famous are the Karma Powers in The Sims 3 console games, which has interesting things players can cause like earthquakes.

But the previous console titles still hold... mystery. A creepy music called "Aliens", being able to find a monkey's paw when searching a couch, mutant plants, ghosts puking on living sims, sims being able to dance on others' gravestones, which will set them on fire if it's their own etc.

It's truly a rabbithole that seems to be really deep. And one really hard to reach rabbithole. This mystery sometimes fascinates me, but I just lack time and courage.

Hi everyone,

It's been a while since I dropped in for a visit. (I've been monitoring transmissions and hiding out... avoiding the mindflayer that's slowly taking over my reality). It's wonderful to catch up, have a fizzy beverage, look over truly some lovely pictures and see that there's still some strange and wonderful life out there. It's great that the resistance is staying strong! I'm thankful for every single one of you. Have a wonderful day cycle.

you look a little down. May I recommend a Hot and Smoky concoction to ease your woes?

You can recommend me a dragon.

Perhaps in the next Blue Moon. In the meantime, you have our support. One Hot and Smoky on the house.

Ah yes, I traveled many seas and galaxies but it is always such a treat to come upon deliciously dark, cozy aul pubs like these.
Right now I could do with resting my weary fur and a refreshment or two or three or four.
A double Yub Nub and a Bespin Fizz please, if you have it. And a Dark & Stormy to neutralize the palette. I promise I won’t cause any trouble.

You see, I’ve been looking for my werebrothers and weresisters for quite some time now, alas, there must be something up with my sense of smell since I can’t seem to detect them anywhere. I suppose my nose is getting old and dry and last night I even found a silver hair right behind my left ear…I’m not surprised. I’ll be turning three hundred and three this spring.

I’m looking forward to introducing you to some of my rather interesting companions, but for now just let me unwind here by the fireplace, a quiet listener, as long as nobody starts playing fetch with me. It’s so embarrassing…I always go after the stick. ??

Would you -by any chance- have a selection of bar nibbles?

All are welcome, here, Captain. Curl up on that sofa by the fire. I’ll have your drinks and a sampler platter served there, and will put the balls and sticks behind the counter.

Water it is. You sound like quite the student of arcane history. We would be pleased to hear your observations.

Greetings and welcome back. Perhaps you would like a Zebra Fizz while you rest from your travels.

@LatinaBunny Thank you kindly! <3

Thanks. This place looks so mysterious that even the water looks, smells, and tastes enchanted. It might just be me...

Fortunately, I have been able to experience some of the console games. And the world there is so much different. Sometimes even... perplexing. For example, if two sims are friends, they may simply causally do romantic interactions with each other like it's something friends do. Or sims using toilets when their bladder need is mostly full.

But the console games have features that in the computer The Sims series come in later. For example, 3D camera was actually introduced in The Sims 1 for consoles, but The Sims 2 is the first to introduce it in the computer series. Hats being separate things from hairstyles is actually from The Sims 2 for consoles, in where you can also make a top by choosing and mixing and matching shirts, sweaters, and jackets together.

Though some of the games are really unique. For example, The Sims 2 Castaway is a game that sees you playing The Sims who have to gather resources to craft objects and clothing. You'll even have to have your sims build a house. All while your sims can explore the island, find the traces of llama people, piece together a pirate treasure map etc. Or The Sims 2 for DS sees you running a hotel in a creepy environment.
And then there's The Sims games on handheld. It has a story that starts in The Sims Bustin' Out for GBA and continues to Urbz: Sims in the City for GBA and DS and to The Sims 2 for GBA and DS.

Sometimes, I hope these gems can be experienced without needing to get lucky. Though I have heard that XBox systems have backwards compatibility, so that's one way if I understand it correctly. Though even knowing that, the path to satisfying my curiosity is a hard and long one.

Oh. I must have gotten so talkative again. I think I'll go continue my travels. This experience has been... inspiring...

Meet Sophie Harwood, my orphaned changeling left at the door of Caleb Vatore (who is now her foster father). She's just a teenage half-elf sorceress looking for her fae kin and were-brethren
Sophie really wants a Von Haunt Estate Meloire....but ya know, being a teen and all she's going to half to settle for a fizzy fruit drink instead. https://i.imgur.com/9yiviSB.png

Welcome, young Sophie. Of course, we’re familiar with Caleb. I think you’ll find myfizzy drinks especially yummy. And I’m sure we can find something equally …um…satisfying…for Mr. Vatore, as well.

Good evening, travelers. It’s happy hour. In observance of Walk Your Dog month, the Blue Moon is offering special treats for our canine… and canine adjacent… friends. I hope you’ll observe the day with pictures of you walking with dogs or doglike creatures…even if that’s just a selfie.

Huh, I noticed none of my households have dogs. I keep forgetting pets are a thing, lol! (I love my irl dogs, though. It’s more the virtual pets that I keep forgetting about, apparently, lol.)

Okay, I must say that I regret giving my mermaids/merfolk the Child of the Ocean trait. My merfolk are meant to be seafood eaters and I wanted to get them to become seasoned fishers. Now I either have to earn enough points to get trait changer potion or have to use cheats. *sighs in both amusement and disappointment* ?

Can spellcasters make trait changing potions? (If so, can they give them to friends, lol?)

*sighs*
Bartender, can I have a Sea Splash drink? Or something good for tropical weather?

Nice to see our merfriends represented at The Blue Moon today. So sorry for your trait difficulties. Potions are definitely expensive, and the cas.fulleditmode “spell” is the only one I know that will, without a doubt, improve your situation. One Sea Splash coming up.
