**SPOILER:** How to...

I just finished the aspiration and discovered something neat:

If you leave the original motherplant dead, but place the one from debug mode, the debug motherplant will behave exactly like a revived original. That is, you can request weirdness at the cheated-in plant. Just in case some of you do not want to go back to the lab everytime they want to make a wish, Mother is happy to move wherever you invite her to :)

And I have finally a use for San Myshuno Meadows. Urban Farms' Plantmonster from Outerspace Preserve will open it's gates soon for visitors (and for a small fee).

Cool! I tried to avoid spoilers so far, but I am so hesistant to kill motherplant.... Knowing we can bring her back solved the conflict.

So if you played with aging on, you could make this something like "a monster that rises each generation anew" :)

Yes!!

I was thinking about that too. There are just too many stories in my head. Cannot play them all at the same time. A cult living in Oasis Springs. Keeping a watchful eye at StrangerVille. One day they will be needed. They have agents placed in different useful places. Agent, military, scientist, and doctor. Great-great grandma is around as a infected ghost.


Really fun thread. Will probably restart the weirdness when FemShep is an adult. She can rally the troops and lead the charge back into StrangerVille.

Just for info's sake and because I love playing it. I went in on my cult leader .. well really I've been setting him up.
He got to the point of getting the keycard and he and his assistant went down to the mother. I had one open the door (you can pass the key between family members in the inventory) and I walked them down like zombies because I didn't know if they would pass out .. but then I had to wait until the possession passed. I might not have needed to walk them down like that.
Anyway they made friends with the Mother until they could get gifts. I really enjoyed that they can do that.. like have a fountain of youth in the mother if they want too. It looks like you can request one daily gift also. So this will be great for my power hungry cult leader sims.

Another thing I love is when you have them eat the fruit I think they stay a zombie like 3 hours but all their needs green up ... and when that possession wears off they are perfectly green. So.. better than a full nights sleep. You could fill up on fruit and roam the sim world.
I've been able to pass it in the Doctors career to patients and in the Detectives so far... I'm going to get use out of this... and if I get tired of it I'll rotate around until I feel like doing it again.
I love that Invasion of the Body Snatchers take on it.

my sim gave a fruit to her brother who lives in willow creak. he ate it and now he is another possessed sim even though he lives somewhere else. its pretty neat to see something happening in another town without effecting the story line. im loving my save im playing right now. one of my sims is friends with the mother. and another one finished the story line and doesnt like the mother. but he doesnt know she is friends with her. so its pretty interesting. i think if he finds out shes been talking to the mother theres going to be trouble.

While you're doing the Strangerville Story, switch on its Aspiration as it will be completed in the doing. It is also quite easy to have multiple characters working on the Aspiration at once, although you'll need a LOT of Spores and fruit.

Additionally, you can plant and tend Bizarre Fruit yourself. They take up a tree-space. I'm going to find out if it makes special Fizzy Juice.

YaY! Wonder what the difference is between moderate weird and just plain weird. lol

What does it mean that you complete the quest either through the military career or as a civilian? You don't need to be in the career to solve the mystery.

I’m glad you can revive her too. I’m going to play it out where my hero (who is a scientist that is obsessed with aliens) decides to study her after defeating her. Eventually he’ll get infected again and become friends her creating an army of infected and causing the chaos to start all over again.

Then I’ll need a new hero to save the town... or not.

Has anyone played through this with an alien sim and if so do they react to the mother and weirdness like any other sim?

I played the story with an alien sim. I haven't played it with a normal sim yet, so I can not really tell if there are any differences. But from what I read and saw, I don't think that it made a huge difference. My Sim got infected just like normal sims and when she met the Mother, her reaction was the same.

Can you infect any sim I mean it doesn't necessarily have to be the sims in Strangerville you can feed the bizarre fruit to is it?
