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...
Taking Control Picking up where I left off, I switched control to Hogwarts and began to bring the students back to potions class. I really wanted to get their homework in. Some students were still at C average. But I discovered that was because they had not reached their skill point goal.
Making it worse, those students that needed the skill point were angry, tense, or sad about what happened at school this day, or simply because their fun levels were very low.
So I went about the student roundup to set things right.
Professor Trelawney decided to sit in on the class.
Thereby taking up a students seat and backing them up.
Monique decided to do her homework in her common room and Michelle followed her to do the same.
Snape decided he wanted to do the dishes.
Michelle needed a skill point to advance in class. She almost had another point for ther video game skill, so I had her play BlickBlock.
Nanami had the same situation, but she hates video games. I forced it since she was almost there.
Homework done, emotions in check, skilled points earned, I had Dumbledore put up a curfew board.
The students will get out to see more of Heford on Saturday. but they can't stay out past 11 o'clock.
I went back to making McGonagall and Snape the powerful witch and wizard they are suppose to be.
Sybil continued her meditation.
There was a lot of back and fourth, getting books and returning books.
Sybil had an option for an emotional surge and decided to share it with Dumbledore, Snape and McGonagall.
Snape seems to be thinking, "Now that's just silly."
They finally had enough useful potions and spells to end the night and go home.
Hadgrid was given a job as a Gardener. I am letting him keep it for now, but the uniform. I couldn't let him wear that. Better.
Acting Headmaster Snape Snape needs to take over so he can whip his potions class into shape. I want full allotment of potions on those shelves.
Now he has the power to improve the few potions he has and duplicate them.
But first, their is a more pressing issue.
The students need ingredients to make potions. The garden is hardly delivering anything at all.
All he needs is the missing ingredients they don't have and he can copypasto more.
I love having a gate to the Magic Realm here.
he check the gardens, but there was nothing useful there.
He needed a wand, as well as ingredients.
Not much to be found here either.
He has ingredients to make potions they don't have yet, but needs more. Why is it so hard to find Parsley?
It's time for desperate measures.
"How long does it take to get parsley?"
It's clear that getting a school of magic up and running and self-sufficient is a long term process.
This is when I noticed the kitchens. This is where the house elves prepares all Hogwarts food. It's good for immersion and story telling, but I have no use for it. No one cooks at Hogwarts. The food just appears, so the buffet tables serve alright here, despite the cost. But then I got the idea to store a library of ingredients here.
To get this school operating, we have to raid buy/debug.
So now we have a source. Better yet, the students can start building up a good supply when they learn the copypasto spell.
The frustrating part is the fish are not usable. They can't be placed in the inventory, or the refrigerator. If there is a special version that is usable in debug mode, let me know. Otherwise my sims are going to have become fishermen.
Finally! Something to work with.
Potions Master Most of the students know a spell, but they all must learn their first potion soon. The weekend is coming and it's going to be a working weekend followed by three full days of making magic.
(Sorry about the UI, forgot to toggle it off.)
"Oh, Professor, what did you do?"
This is a bit frightening.
Snape is down. Monique is down.
Marielle is down.
Worst Snape ever!
"?"
"Well, just wait until Draco Malfoy's father hears about this."
"Professor?"
"Uhhg... We're okay."
"It's not dangerous, just overpowering. See to Miss Brown, will you?"
"How do you feel, Miss Bloom?"
"I feel fine!" "Good, why don't you go to your room and get some sleep."
Cheerful girl. "Should have been a Hufflepuff."
I guess part of the challenge is to also make a legendary Snape. At least the Potions classroom is looking legendary now.
Changes and Additions A lot has been added since page one. The Original Hogwarts did not come with a potions rooms, but there seems to be a perfect location for it, so just added a room. It's nice to know I have the kitchens to do something with in the future I am already thinking about stealing a space to make an office and bedroom for Filch. I have some minor tweaks to the ground floor. I made my greenhouse wider to get more of the round pots in. An observatory has been added next to it. And I added the wishing well to one of the courtyards. I turned a study into a bedroom, for the Headmaster or a visiting professor serving as headmaster.
On the second floor, I added another bedroom to one of the towers. I also fixed an issue with the Gryffindor common room staircase that would trap sims.
On the third floor, I added Sybil Trelawney's Divination classroom.
Divination Classroom The tables shown are no longer there. i went back to Paranormal's stuff tables because the game play is in the table, not the crystal ball.
Sybil's Bedroom
Visiting Professor's Bedroom This was a very nice study, but I needed a sleeping space for Dumbledore or his substitute.
Potions Classroom
Comedy or tragedy? How about both?
