The Sims 3: Supernatural - Officially Announced!

[Seabody]

Going by past expansions the extended version is just for preorders.

Not necessarily. As far as I know, Showtime Limited Edition is still available in Retail Stores in NZ. No joke.

I've seen LE versions of Pets, as well.

Anyways, I officially have my first game planned out with this EP. I'm telling the story of little Red Ridinghood, with some Sims twists: Little Red Ridinghood will have elf ears, a classic Sims character (someone that was in TS1 and/or TS2; haven't decided yet, but it'll be a surprise ), Grandma calls the police and gets fined §500, and the wolf will be both good and mean-spirited, plus a coward.

Sounds like a comedy, looking forward to it, even if it isn't a comedy.

The mushrooms in the picture look awesome. I can't wait for this expansion, I just hope the peasooter work I don't like the sight of the zombies very much I wonder if they will groan like in sims2? That freak me out to say the least.

I just received an email that my game has been shipped - it's on its way!  Of course, it won't be delivered until next week, but it won't be long now.  I have to say, the thing I'm most excited about in this EP and the patch that comes with it, is being able to control the numbers of bizarre life forms in our games.  It's not that I am opposed to vampires, fairies, whatever - I just don't like my towns being overrun with them.

I can't wait for this, I love strange looking sims, fairytales and lots and lots of color, so this will be perfect for me! I think my gameplay will change a lot with this EP. I will probably just explore and play around a lot more, and less of the skilling and goal-reaching I have been doing most of the time.

So, is the population control coming in a patch, or do we need the game itself? I thought it was a patch, but now I'm not sure.

It comes in the Patch.

It comes in the Patch.

Okay, cool! That's what I thought, but I started second-guessing myself.

I know one of the blogs mentioned that Supernatural will be bringing new achievments to the table.  I'm eager to find out what they are.

[Telsey]

In a tweet one of the Gurus mentioned being able to get rid of the supernaturals in Moonlight Shores. Anyone hear how you would do that?

I dug up some Potions Shop information in the code from Patch 1.38 (by accident):

It will function similar to the Consignment Store from Ambitions.

In it is:

Gems (and there will be some new ones, such as Sunstone and Bloodstone, to my understanding)
Metals
Books (I think)
Alchemy Recipe Books - they affect or are called: Woohoo, Job Performance, Potent Enlightenment, Personality Adjustor, Water of Youth, PermaZombified (lol), Origin of the Tragic Clown (LOL!)
Ingredients for Alchemy - Mushrooms, Glow Ords, Mycenas, Red Toadstools, Mandrake, Red Valerian, Wolfsbane, Beeswax

Wow, I'm looking forward to this EP more and more. Especially for the Harry Potter-esque ingredients...

I got my notification too!  Thing I'm most excited for? The skin color slider! I have the story and plot all set for my Drow Immortal Dynasty!
