[Spoiler] Having two "mothers" in the same save and more Strangerville retcons

Something has invaded the fairys' sanctuary.

Something huge. Something evil. Where it dwells, trees die.

The monster lashes out at them!

Do mere mortals even have chance against this creature...?

Notes:
- Same as in the first post, but skip the whole science lab and Strangerville part
- Instead "accidently discover" MOTHER behind the tree in Willow Creek
- The monster revives each generation anew
- Or just ignore the story altogether and build a cult
- Works best for fantasy saves and legacys

I <3 this!!!

Currently working on designing a challenge for myself involving Strangerville. It is so much fun to see what others are doing with the resources in this pack.

I love this! I think I'll try something similar with vampires

OMG I never saw this thread. This is awesome. Question can you have the mother in multiple areas and will it mess up your game in anyway if you defeat her somewhere? Can you defeat this one?

I have as much fun playing her with cults and fantasy so I might never defeat her if I do this in other games but wondering.

The pictures are from a screenshots-only-then-exit-without-saving session, so I do not know if having several MOTHERs will mess with your game longterm. But I could attack the debug versions and would have been able to initiate the bossfight if I had carried vaccines/vaccinated sims.

In my rotational save I have the dead one in the lab and a living one at San Myshuno Meadows and so far everything works fine. (Storywise she transfered her consciousness to an infected who planted a new body for her in Detroit.)

The new MOTHER has all the post-story options for setting weirdness. Sims start at a full red relationship bar with her even if they had befriended the old MOTHER before. Not going to defeat her again anytime soon in this save <3 Just look at how happy she is under the open sky! And she gives her blessings so we treat her well o:)

(I'm back at my PC in 4 hours, then I can plant a few more and go at them in a test save to see what happens.)

If I could give you 10 awesomes, I would! The mother looks right at home on Sixam!!

I'd love mothers in all my towns, mwahahaha! Great ideas!

Okay I'm going to have eventual plans to clear the island of Windenburg... The Mother goes in the middle lot and all of her subjects can live around her :). Good deal.

Imagine getting shipwrecked on that island, lol.

@Hermitgirl @citysimmer
So now we know why the castle on the Bluffs was deserted. I do not play with the terrain tools (not a builder at all), but someone more talented might replace the pool with a pit >:)

Okay, here are the results of my testing:

More than 1 mother in world

- Placed a second MOTHER in Forgotten Hollow and could fight her with my existing team
- 1 zombie was generated by the game
- However, I had cleared the story in that save, so there were no zombies left and I also have the newly updated npc control mod in. If you already have more than 1 zombie, chances are more than 1 will appear
- Relationships were tracked seperately for the Forgotten Hollow and the San Myshuno MOTHER
- Only the one on the currently active lot was displayed in the relationship-panel, though

More than 1 mother at the same lot

- Jacques married anew and the Villareal kids have 2 MOTHERs now

- Both homelot MOTHERs show up correctly in the relationship panel
- Remembering there was a bug with the SmartSpeaker and relationships I switched to another household and visited the Villareal with those sims. The lot loaded correctly, but there was some lag during the loading

- My sims were able to vaccinate each other, but could not recruit the vaccinated sims for the fight. The option just didn't come up.
- I sent them to Strangerville, could still not recruit
- I requested maximum weirdness, could still not recruit, neither in Windenburg nor in Strangerville

- Brought my old team in, they could attack
- Only one plant got animated, but the sims attacked both equally
- Due to my plants sitting too close to each other my main sim could not join the fight, but he could gove orders to the others
- Again, 1 zombie was spawned. The one from the fight before didn't appear.
- For some reason my team didn't receive infection, the bar remained at zero. They had received infection normally during the fight in Forgotten Hollow.
- When MOTHER's health reached near zero, the fight looped and no further health was subtracted for 2 sim days
- After that I exit without saving. By then one sim had gone to work and returned and the cat had run away resulting in everyone becoming incredibly sad
