♦︎Hey Guys it's did the simmer here today and two days ago I got the supernatural expansion pack for my sims 3 game. It was on sale on origin for around $106. HKD. Of course being my sim addicted self I had to take advantage of this sale and purchase a *NEW* expansion. So heres my review and general verdict on the game.
♦︎Welcome to moonlight falls , Your normal everyday town... that is if you exclude the "Chit Chat of the undead" or "Ghost rollerskating". This town has so much to explore that it would be weeks before you have checked out every corner of this world. Is this the expansion for you ?
♦︎First lets talk CAS (Create a sim). In CAS you can choose out of 6 ( or 7 , but we will get into that later ) different creatures. Each one of these characters for you to create have there own little features. Like a fairy will of course have wings , Vampires fang and you can even choose how your ghost died.
joyful happy outfits for your fairies. The new trait include :
Now on to most people favourite part of CAS the new cloths. The endless amount of content you get in the CAS clothing is unbelievable , there is a gothic take on some outfit while being mixed in with
. Brooding
.Gatherer
.Night Owl
.Proper
The New Life Time wishes Include :
.Supernatural Fan and Supernatural Skeptic
.Alchemy Artisan
.Master Of Mysticism
.Magic Makeover
.Zombie Master
.Turn The Town
.Celebrity Psychic
♦︎I don't want this to become a list so lets get more into the gameplay. I chose out some of my favourite parts on the map and have written a little something about them that I enjoyed.
Red Velvet Lounge
A snazzy club like lounge for the darkest of vampires to the cutest of fairies. It has a dark theme and is great for a full moon party
Aleister's Elixirs and Sundries
A store for your witches and pixie who want to work on their magic potions and purchase some if they are not in the mood to work :P. An original little store that can only be found in this expansion.
H Two O Indoor Pool
Not that it's a special feature in the sims , I mean public pools are pretty much in every map , but I really like the feel of the indoor swimming and it actually looks pretty sweet compared to other community pools in the sims.
♦︎Whats that , a full moon ? , Yes a calling for all creatures and undead beings. On a full moon your supernatural sims powers are at their fullest not to mention the zombies crawling around your lot. You can wait for the full moon by checking your "moon". The moon is located in the same place where the little weather thingy from seasons :P is yup I don't know what to call it sorry guys. Anyway full moons are pretty fun , what my sims love to do is have a supernatural gathering house party , gather all your friends Humans and the supernatural and throw a full moon bash. This can be fun as humans sims can get turned into zombies so that party could get interesting. Apart from full powers and zombies the full moon does not have many other advertised features but the moon is the main feature of this expansion.
♦︎Now one of the cool things about this expansion is if you have other expansion. For extra features you can purchase the sims 3 "Showtime" or "Seasons" or BOTH !. LOl anyway if you have season you can use the weather stone. The weather stone is a totem poll like feature that can change the weather depending on your sims supernatural ability. Next with the season expansion is just your normal festival ground. With showtime you can create Genies , Yes bright coloured magical beings with the ability to grant wishes. I think this is one of the main reasons for getting other expansions to.
♦︎Lets get down the main part of a review , is this worth your time and money ? Being a crazy sims supporter myself you could pretty much give me any expansion or stuff pack and I would be pleased , but for someone who is not as into the game and is just looking for a bit of add on to the game it really depends. If you are looking for a game that explores the unknown or unrealistic life styles this is 100% your expansion maybe tying with "Into the Future". On the other hand though you may like the realistic feel of the game , if thats you this expansion may take away from the joys of the game play. You can turn of some of the features with this pack but some of the packs rather enoying pars don't have an available option to turn them off. Overall being a "Supernatural Fan" myself I loved this expansion. Then again I did get it on sale for roughly $106 HKD ( $13 USD and £8 GBP ). I would say the full price of $160 HKD is a bit much for a sims 3 expansion and maybe the SALE price of $106 HKD is a better price. So I would suggest unless you really want this pack you should wait a bit till its on sale. Anyway I hope you enjoyed this review and gave you an inside look on the game play of this expansion.

Pinterest Search
3♦︎Tumblr is probably the best one to have an account on mainly because so many CC creators use it as a blogging platform to share their creations. This means you can follow CC creators you really like and you can re-blog their creations if you don't feel like downloading them right that minute. Although this does not have the sorting out of feature like the "Pin Board" in Pinterest. It sure has a lot more CC floating around the website though. PS : just as a side note they have good search filters so that make it even easier
4♦︎This is one not as many people use. Thats pretty funny considering how many CC pieces I have found from using this trick. So what you do is like any google search you search in google images then you type in the CC you are looking for and then a huge list of custom content images will pop up. Now if you like you can go to "Search Tools" and even look for the colour of the CC. Once you have found the CC you are looking for you can just click view page and it takes your normally to the site on which you can download it from :D.
