INTRO #AD (just in case this counts as social media) I was invited to join the CFE (not final build) opportunity for Life & Death. Thank you to the EA Creator Network for this chance to answer qu...
The Pet Crows themselves only come in black, but there are 2 versions with 6 swatches altogether for the perches. They are found in the catalogue under Pets > Pet Furniture, bought from Waylon Warez (shady merchant) and found around the world too. I think I got one as a career reward in the Reaper career too, but I randomly found it in my inventory, so not sure about that.
• Grim Standard Ascendant Crow (§825) has a wooden perch in 5 different wood tones, and looks normal when flying off/on. (1-5 from the left) • Grim Deluxe Ascendant Crow (§1,000) has a single tarnished brass swatch, and has a green magical flash effect when flying off/on. (Far right)
They are technically objects that are attached to their perch and disappear in mid-flight (like Spellcasters on brooms) when they leave their bird stands/perches.
Five wood and one tarnished brass perches/bird stands, each with a single black crow swatch.
Can Crows Die?
Crows can't die. There's lore around that, too. I won't spoil it.
Crow Gameplay
• Feed - Fills Feed and keeps the Pet Crow happy. • Socialize - Mostly Friendly, one Mean. Has fun Gossipy observations about premade Sims and places from the Crow Collective and reports them like a scout would. They can also be taught to say some Simlish words, such as Sul Sul, via Teach Mimicry. • Clean - Cleans the bird poop from the stand and helps keeps the Pet Crow happy. • Gifting - Like Rabbits/Birds/Foxes etc, you can gif them. Eventually, they will bring you gifts when they like you enough. It could be a collectible, or something otherworldly. • Death - Neglect and Provoke it at your own peril. Did you know the collective term for a group of crows is called a murder? Probably not a coincidence. They are as smart as a 7-yo child, can use tools, have long memories, remember how you treat them and pass the knowledge down through generations. You've been warned.
You can experience them in world at various locations to decide if you want one for yourself. So far I've seen them:
• In Grim's office (Headless Quarters) by his desk. • By the Old Specter Cemetery bench. • At the Ravenwood Family Family Day Festival, accompanied by a Crow Handler in a Crow Costume who you can Ask About Crows. • Some premade houses.
