Henford-On-Bagley and Down the Hogwarts Rabbit Hole I Go
Join me in my descent to a place I did not expect to go this year. :) I sent my sim on a trip to sell vegetables in Henford and had them explore the land later. There is a 64x64 property and I w...
Good Morning! I heard a howl, or was it a shriek, outside the castle walls and investigated it. It was the Grim Reaper. If Dementors ever had a king, it would be Grim. Fortunately he is not here for any of the students.
I've seen this before and I imagine others have too because these old foxes are probably set to die at the start of a game in Henford.
Oh no, it had a mate?
Aww...
What a dark way to start off, I know.
But as Dumbledore says, "Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times,"
"...if one only remembers to turn on the light."
Mornings can be stunning here.
Students are up, getting ready for school. Michelle had time to exercise off her morning rage.
I was curious about the view she had from her treadmill.
Sweet.
It's not long before they are out the door, sporting new clothes.
I believe I will save these brightly colored jackets and make them their spring uniforms.
It was around around this time that I got an odd social exchange popup between Marielle Bloom and Professor Snape.
Wondering what sparked it, I locked in on them to investigate.
"A heartfelt sentiment I am sure, Miss Bloom."
She had "Closer from Happy Memories" and "Friendly Advice" sentiments."
I find the sentiments suspect.
"Ten points... from Gryffindor." And so does Snape.
The strange thing is, I have never seen a teen actually prank a toilet. I only find the evidence. Marielle and Gryffindor will get the blame for that one however. I am tracking things like that in the Miscellaneous category for house points.
Support Staff This day's activities were about bringing in the Support Staff for Hogwarts, as well as letting Professor Snape teach a class. I had Argus Filch bring Mrs. Norris. I had hoped for her to her live at Hogwarts, until I found out pets take up a sim slot in The Sims 4. I have Cat's and Dogs, but have not touched it other that looking at it the day it launched.
She has Bookworm and Neat traits. I hope with the addition of club commands, I will see her cleaning up books left out at Hogwarts.
I have Rolanda Hooch just to have her around. She's the Quiddich coach and referee, and flying broom instructor.
I was doing the photograph and key tactic again. I took liberties with her hairstyle. I did not like it in the movie. Apparently Rita Skeeter wrote a mean article making fun of her hair, so she had her hair magically retextured.
I should have a good use for Filch in the summer season. He can move in and upgrade all the appliances. I would also like to invite him over just before students are in bed and just have him wander around repair and cleaning.
However, during school terms, I want to see if I can have fun by having students sneak out of their common rooms to grab useful potions, or satisfy any whims. They will probably need teleportation magic to avoid him, since sims have psychic abilities when it comes to the location of other sims.
Those tasks completed, Dumbledore brought in Professor Snape.
This went better than I thought it would, despite not having control of Professor Snape.
I quickly learned that I should lock the door to prevent interruptions and having students wander off. I often have autonomy off in these situations, but I don't know if I had it off in this case. The staff sims were going about their activities. It would be great if they keep going despite autonomy.
This was great, but I do wish I could have Snape make mean and mischief socials at opportune moments. Side note, I love his potions class that I put in. I will probably put in a fireplace later, but I am pleased with the layout.
I was so busy with Severus Snape and the students that I did not see what the Support Staff had done.
I only noticed Madame Hooch coming in to collect a coffee cup and Filch talking to plants in the greenhouse.
It was a very good play session.
Fail The next day day, I took control of the Professor's household and discoverd that Snape and Minerva did not know any spells or potions. They had Master Level status, but could not cast a spell, nor brew a potion. So I sent them to Hogwarts to take advantage of all it offered.
They jumped right in worked on their potions and spells.
Professor Trelawney settle into her Divination class room and began practicing her Medium skill.
It turns out she had already mastered it.
So I had her meditate and work on her Wellness skill instead.
It should be fun to send her students on a field trip, in the Spring, to one of Henford-on-Bagley's ancient sites and lead a meditation group there.
I don't know what put it in my head to have them practice potions and spells. I don't have time for it. The best thing would be for them to learn it from the spells and potions books.
It was really annoying to have them pick up a book in the west side of the lot and walk all the way to the east side just read it in a bedroom when they could take a seat in Dumbledore's office.
They had only learned a few spells and potions each when the students began to arrive.
I was curious to see if Snape could lead a class without me controlling the students.
It was a total failure. It was like trying to heard cats.
I would ask them to do their homework and they would kneel at his feet and begin their homework. This was clearly not working, so I switched from the professor's household back to Hogwarts.
And I am only halfway there. :# End Part One~
