I'm impatient for the map/lot locations/lot sizes, too, though I expect we won't get them until just after the gameplay trailer, as usual.
The world seems very lovely so far, though. What I'm most excited about is something that's actually a throwback to a couple of older packs. Ever since Realm of Magic released, I had a family of four spellcaster sisters in mind: two good (the oldest and youngest), one evil, and one sort of... chaotic neutral. (The latter is named Iris, and I will come back to her in a moment.) But I never created them, because I felt like I was still waiting for something.
Then we got the Werewolves pack, and along with it the Mooncaster lore. Well, I knew immediately that the sisters would be the Mooncaster sisters, with an ancient legacy to uphold. (Now, as a tangent, the evil sister is in league with a wolf named Fenris, who is a spy in the Wildfangs' secret war against the vampires and lives in a house in Forgotten Hollow with a secret tunnel back to Moonwood Mill, and a telescope conveniently pointed just up the hill toward Vlad's house. But I digress.)
My ultimate plan has always been for Iris to marry a wolf from the Moonwood Collective and raise a large hybrid family that endeavors to bring about harmony between all supernaturals as well as humans. However... I originally planned to have them live in a large estate in Moonwood Mill, but there's just not space there. So I've been puzzling over where to put them. Well, I think the new neighborhood with the swamps and the crystalline trees looks like exactly where they belong!
It's always so much fun when a new pack helps you breathe life into old storylines in unexpected ways.
I'm a week late but I love this. I feel the struggle. I have a storyline that has been on hold since Werewolves because I'm waiting for Faries. But this pack had my mind turning, like wait, could I do this instead, or add this in.....anyways, I started playing that old save to kinda rework what I had planned. I'm patiently waiting to see what all the pack is adding to see what I can do with it. I mean, I'm still going to be waiting for Faries, but at least, maybe I can play this save a bit.
Oh, yes, I'm definitely hoping for fairies, too, and I think they would definitely enhance this family quite a bit. But at least in the meantime I can move things forward a bit with this pack. Particularly since my main obstacle was finding a world for them, and I suspect I will find more than enough uses for all of my lots in any fairy pack world we get!
In the trailer, the tarot card reader is wearing a collared shirt. The collar of the shirt looks like fairy wings to me. Might be a hint?
I made twin young adult spell casters, one with black hair and a black cat the other with white hair and a white little yorkie dog, one concentrating on spell casting, and the other potions. I haven’t played them much yet though.
i have the Goths in Forgotten Hollowan put their house in a 30x40 I think. but by the look of it i think one of the neighborhoods in Ravenwood would be a great place to upload their slightly renovated lot.
Yes... great idea! I originally intended to move the Goths to Forgotten Hollow when Vampires released, but the world was just entirely too small. But now, this might be the time to uproot them, finally.
I left my Goth family and their house in their original Willowcreek location. However, I created my own version of the Addams Family and moved them into one of the Forgotten Hollow large houses. I have a feeling that they'll enjoy visiting Ravenwood, too.
Looking at the world map, I already see a couple of good candidates for my hybrid family in the middle neighborhood, or potentially the empty lot in the top neighborhood, so that's a relief...
Your characters and their collective backstories are fantastic. Brava/Bravo!
