[Pam]

Do you have Supernatural yet?  Tell us your first impressions.

I pick up my copy first thing tomorrow, I have the game guide already it looks pretty cool I have been waiting since Sims 3 came out to have the witch thing back since Sims 2 Apartments had it.  I don't remember to well but I think witches had companion pets like dragons and cats, but there are none in this one. I like the Fairies. Toddler Fairies are independent as far as needs. I also like that you can create a Vampire, Witch , Werewolf  and Fairy in the create a sim no more waiting to find them. Vampires also have new abilities as well, oh and you can play as a ghost one household has a Ghost , a Vampire and a Werewolf living together. I will know tomorrow how much more I love this game.. I think they brought "BoneHilda" back from two I'm pretty she she was in Sims 2, but she is in this one.

I know that everyone is really excited and all the individuals that did the download preorder through Origin should be able to download it now.  However, remember the forum rules about making sure to not throw out frivolous posts in your excitement.

My understanding is that the limited edition extra content codes have not been sent out.  Remember to wait for that code before attempting to download the peashooter, bucket/cone hats and new outfits.  Don't forget to register your game on TheSims3.com website and you'll be able to get the registration rewards within a few moments.

I look forward to chatting with everyone in the morning!

Guys, in the US, do you know if Target will release this for 60% off release week? That's how I got KPST, and I'm a little broke, till Friday, and I'd like to take advantage?

Sorry if this is too off topic, but let me know if any deals come up.

Picture of the new Lunar Cycle controls available with the expansion.

I can confirm that werewolves live about 1.5 times longer than a normal Sim and that fairies have a lifespan about 5 times that of a normal Sim.   Witches age normally.   Werewolves have a brown outline around their picture in the relationship panel while fairies have green & witches have gold like the vampires have red from Late Night.

So far I'm enjoying the expansion but I haven't been able to go into real depth yet.  Just having the population controls from the patch was enough for me to enjoy this though really. 

This expansion brings three new gems, three new fish and eleven (11) new plant harvestables.

Just downloaded and am playing it now.  There are a ton of new furnishings, skill items, lights and decorations.  I'm in CAS now creating a witch named Dane Parris.  There a few new hair styles for guys, and some pretty spiffy new tattoos (3 wolves, anyone?).  Not much in the jewelery but you can now give your sims nail polish, though I couldn't get it to re-color.  There are plenty of new clothes available.  The new traits that I've noticed are Brooding, Gatherer, Night Owl, Proper, and Supernatural Fan/Skeptic.  I gave Dane all of these, with him as a fan, of course.

Just from what I've seen, there appears to be a ton of new content and things to do here.  Can't wait to get into it!

Could someone post the names and conditions about the lifetime wishes, since i can first get my game thurday

[jen2912]

Could someone post the new collectables, fish and plants please?

[MarianT]

I think if you look in the new collections journal (next to the cell phone in your inventory), they might show up. I haven't checked this out yet, but they should.

[Ricalynn]

The new plants, fish and gems only showed up once I had Supernatural installed but they were in my collections journal so I didn't have to go find them.

As soon as I get back in the game I'll write them all down if someone else hasn't.    There are also 10 new cooking recipes with this expansion.

[MarianT]

This is all kind of random --

The bookcase door is located in the Door section of Building. It only functions as a door, not as a bookcase.

There's a train set in the playground at the school in Moonlight Falls. One of my fairies used it -- very cute!

Alchemy has 3 associated challenges. The alchemy set is in with hobbies and is not very expensive. I think it costs something to make recipes, like with cooking.

[Ricalynn]

The three new gems are Bloodstone (uncommon), Moonstone(rare) and Sunstone(rare). 

The new fish are Toads(common), Fairy Damsel(rare), and Luminous Salamander(uncommon).

The new plant harvestables are Wolfsbane Flower(common), Red Valerian Root(common), White Caps(common), Porcinis(common), Red Toadstools(common), Ghost Chili(rare), Glow Orbs(rare), Truffles(rare), Spotlight Mushrooms(uncommon), Mycenas(uncommon), and Mandrake Root(common). 

Some of the above need to be bought at the alchemy shop as they're not available at the grocery store.

If you ordered from Origin, here is how to get your plants vs. zombies stuff.

In your e-mail list, you should see "orders (3)."

One e-mail refers to the expansion pack; one has the code for the Plants vs. Zombies Limited Edition; one has the code for the Origin Exclusive Decor. Get the expansion pack first, then register the expansion on the official site. The follow the instructions in the other two e-mails. After you wait a few minutes, the stuff should show up in the "Purchase History" section of your Store Account.
