Charm Snake into Clothing

[mtglady]

I have had snake charmers in the past and have never had that option until the latest patch and the installation of Ambitions.  I am going to try it tonight with my sim that has the King Cobra in his basket and a high level of snake charming.  He is in a previous game prior to the patch and Ambitions.

It's much funnier in video, but here you go:

Ha ha.... I still don't really want WA, I wouldn't really be in to the adventuring and skills.

This option come up with the trait of "Mean Spirited".

This option come up with the trait of "Mean Spirited".

Maybe so, but my Sim in the pictures above wasn't Mean Spirited.

How often do those sims 'play' the Snake Basket? Maybe it is a hidden skill like pool and dancing was in sims 2?

[Pam]

If left to their own devices, they'll charm the snake every time they have a free moment.  But, yes, I believe it's a hidden skill.  As they continue charming, they get bit less and can upgrade to a cobra.  I imagine the ability to charm a snake into clothing is at the high end of the skill.

My sim still can't do that.  She has the cobra and is probably as high in the skill as you can get.  I have tried everywhere to do it and it will not come up.  When she plays, sounds like there is two or three instruments playing and it sounds really cool.  Doesn't really matter, it just sounds funny to have them do that.

Maybe you need another sim near by?

[Saltypaws]

Well, of course silly, how else could you snake in pants .  I have been at the park, bistro, theatre, etc.  nothing. Like I said, doesn't really matter, was going to get a video of it.

My sim that started this discussion, Jacob Kruthers, had only been charming for a few sim hours when this option first appeared.  My other sims that have been charming for awhile, even one who has the cobra, do not have this option.  This option never appeared for me until the new patch and Ambitions even though I have played WA since its release.

I have received this option so far only with this sim both in Twinbrook and in Egypt.  He hasn't traveled anywhere else yet.  He is Brave, Friendly, Athletic, Loves the Outdoors and a Computer Whiz.  He is now an Adult who has been charming his snake for a few sim weeks and I still receive this option, but only for him.  I tried it with two different new young adults and one different new adult and nada.

My problem now is that I have not been able to actually use this option - I choose the person to have the snake charmed into and nothing happens.     Bummer.

I would say it has to do with mean-spirited because I created a new sim, did the buydebug got the basket, clicked it for the very first time and that option came up and it had the little mean face with it. You know, when something has to do with a trait, like artistic has a paintbrush. Of course since I just started, I don't know anyone yet. I went to the park and did it to VJ and I got a video, but it won't post  I also got an awesome close-up video of him kissing the cobra but it won't post either  Oh well, I tried!
