Night all!
I know you were not over the moon about the PCI door/mat deal and I'm wondering if the rest of the content/venue is worth the 1700 SP? It's not that I don't value other simmers opinions (I do and I thank anyone who'd like to chime in) but it seems your opinions on items tend to be somewhat similar to mine.
(Sorry Jcp, this turned into a bit of an essay. :oops: )
I have to say I wasn't sure how much use I'd get out of the door pc. I kind-of liked the idea in theory, but since my sims rarely ever die it seemed a bit... ummm... unneeded in my game. What attracted me was the stuff that comes with it. I love the gothic architectural style and the roof pieces will be especially useful to me. I'm a sucker for grotesques too! I was going to go into the garden and take a picture of mine but we cut down a load of vines and their blocking the end of the garden so he's hiding right now. :twisted:
The lot itself is beautiful!
SCREENSHOT SPAM TIME!!!
There are a couple of issues with the lot. It's a weird size (50 x 25 I think, long and thin) so it's a bit awkward to place. I think it might be the right size for the Sunset Valley graveyard lot if you wanted to replace it though. Which leads me onto issue 2, if you delete the graveyard, you delete the ghosts too. :? Grim's graveyard doesn't come with ghosts (just gravestones) so you'd have to do a it yourself and to be honest, I lost my taste for simicide during TS2. :?
The lot is so beautiful though! And it's actually really interesting to have something new for the graveyard. I'm wondering how I can work the lot into my own world... hmmm... I want to use it but it's just such an awkward size. :? My own graveyard is quite small, but I did build a crypt club underneath the mausoleum (similar to this venue)... hmmmm.... maybe I can put the door in the basement somehow? Grim's Underground Crypt! Yes, I think I'll do that!
I like having the added gameplay for the graveyard lot. I was a bit nervous about meeting Grim but he turned out to be pretty cool! I sent my fortune teller Cassandra Ruse to go and knock on Grim's door. I love the way the doors slam open! It made me jump! :oops:
Grim was very *cough* friendly:
So Cassandra flirted with him a bit and asked him on a date! :shock:
I hope he is not talking literally. :shock:
I'd placed the venue in Midnight Hollow across the road from my circus, so it seemed the perfect place for a date! I wanted to see Grim playing some fairground games, it would have amoosed me, but unfortunately he's a busy reaper and vanished as soon as we got there.
Mmmm... ok. :shock:
So Cassandra seems to be on good terms with Grim. I wanted to meet Emmie so I tried sending Jack Bagels round from my Ghost Adventurers household but Grim appeared to be a fan.
So, yeah, I'm pretty happy to have Grim in my game as long as he keeps being amiable.
I like the CAS too! I only had chance to check out the girls stuff because it was getting late. I tried out a few recolours to see how I might make use of it:
I REALLY like this outfit! I love the blouse and the colour channels are good. I think the gloves restrict how much you can modify it though. I wish they'd make another version with the blouse but with a floor length skirt and no gloves because we have hardly any Victorian clothing in the game (and the Victorian clothing isn't very Victorian imao)!!! I also found it can recolour really well to fit in with the Western items from the Movie SP!
I like this outfit too, the first is the default colour, the red is my recolour attempt:
It looks sort of military, and also like something a butler or concierge might wear. I like it but I'm not sure what I'll do with it yet.
I don't like this one. :? It has a stencil on the skirt that can't be removed and, to be honest, I don't 'get' it. :?
So, all in all, I'm surprised at how much I like the venue! It's just good fun! And I'm glad I have it in the game. The lot is beautiful, but an odd size. The architectural pieces and coffin are very decorative, useful, and beautiful! The cas is nice. And Grim is just a really cool guy. :twisted:
I think I will get this. I'm not sure if I will ever use the PCI but I do love the theme. Sometimes I do force deaths (only in game! :shock: ) though so it might be fun to do at a time. The pictures really sell this though.
I was thinking about the future worlds and trying to keep enough for two of them, but then I realized that one of them will likely be sold in retail (conjecture only nothing said or rumored on that) so I'd have to get additional points for that anyways.
I have really got to start saying "no" at some point though. But better to spend it on this than on things that cost just as much and do a body harm. :-)
Maybe I will buy this today...I may still need some more reviews first. :roll:
Thanks again for sharing!
Gasps! I'd never have suspected it was YOU! :shock:
(Sorry, I was reading Poirot today. :oops: )
*Nods* Like murphy beds and jelly beans, yeah I understand.
Glad my waffle and picture spam helped you!
Aww, thank you! It helps when I have something beautiful to aim at!

Hello Cinderellimouse
I love this outfit. I think it is gorgeous and very elegant
Here is a re-colour I have done for my sim Kirby
Thank you Cat
@ Kateoverend, I love that particular dress a lot as well, and love what you did with the lacing on it. I an thrilled we have such customizable features to make what's already a good thing even better and more suited to individual tastes.
And it's disappointing, she grew up looking nothing like her parents at all. But a vanilla/pudding sim. :roll:
The "simulate genetic merger" obviously doesn't work like a regular pregnancy of a female. :roll:
Parents:
Child:
Thank you jcp011c2
Yeah, so was I.
- Reincarnation destroys the original Sim and replaces it with a generic spawn that has no relation to the original and loses all relationship points the original may have had.
- Genetic Merger pretends to offer all Sims from a neighbourhood as donors of genetic material (except for vampires, which have been forgotten, I guess) but produces a generic spawn that isn't even the genetic offspring of the mother.
- The Door Reaper lacks the walkstyle and special effects of the original Reaper and is just another generic service Sim in a Reaper costume
-The size of the venue is such that it hardly fits in any existing lot slot and simply replacing an existing graveyard with this one will lead to game corruption
I have to say that hardly have I been more disappointed in a purchase than this one.
I am so incredibly glad that I didn't purchase this venue right away and now I am not going to. There is no reason because there is so many things wrong in it. The reincarnation and the genetic merger were the two things that got me interested and it is truly disappointing that they do not work as they really should work. So, thank you but no thank you.
Mwa ha ha ha haaaaaaa!
Great pictures Kate!
the pregnancy element of the pc item I would never use... I use a mod and imagen they went tot the hospital... I would use that part if it worked ... and mixed the genes
the talk with death... I might do... some sims
I love the items in this set
I like to see more of them in recolor
I could imagen me editing the grave yard in HS to have an hidden crypt under ground where grimy could come out....
this is not an easy choice
Grim plays a pretty mean guitar...
But in the end victory belongs to Beau
Introductions are in order...
Beau decides he has a thirst for blood... Poor Grim.
Emmie feasts on yet another poor member of the paparazzi
I have begun gifting death flowers to random townies as I fear at this rate, given Emmies voracious appetite there shall be no sims left in Midnight Hollow
