Yeah MarianT my fairy is epic at gardening with Green Thumb and Gatherer, will be great when I get the Super Green Thumb LTR too. I cast enough magic to learn bloom now and I've found there are three possible results: most of the time it will advance the plant one growth stage. Occasionally, it will grow weeds instead, and sometimes it will backfire and kill the plant. I'm not sure yet whether the weeds are more common than the complete fail or about the same, but my LTW is to make 100 plants bloom so I'm sure I'll get more data on that. And yes, casting it repeatedly on one plant to get it from planted to mature will get you 3-4 of the 100 (depending if it's a mushroom or normal plant since mushrooms also have mycelium). Also with mushrooms, once you harvest them instead of going back to mature they go back to mycelium and regrow entirely. I haven't seen one die yet but again will see more later.
Rebecca88: I was learning new spells on my fairy pretty regularly so that might be a glitch? Though I have the advantage of being able to stick an aura up and then do something else while it keeps on ticking. I've also got a werewolf in my household now but haven't done much with her yet. The funniest was when she went to eat and she crouched on the chair and started scarfing down her food with her head in the bowl, especially since she also has the Proper trait. (which gives you special interactions with other sims like praising or criticising their manners, makes you wear formal clothes more - sometimes she gets an action "formalise" and just changes clothes - and has more exaggerated mood effects from decorated or dirty surroundings) When she transformed back into human form she had a three hour moodlet with no mood effect that said something like "Edwin feels like she's done something awesome, but can't remember what." The icon is a cute baffled looking werewolf face.
HAHAH! I thought they looked like the Tardis as well.
I admit when I was placing one on a lot I sat there pressing the randomise button for ages trying to get a TARDIS blue one. Sadly I saw nothing even close to blue so I gave up.
I'm not sure if its the new collection trait or just luck but I was on vacation and the bugs/gems/metals kept respawning crazy fast. I usually go on vacation with a collection helper and spend time collecting everything until I strip the map clean and then work on other things, and I couldn't keep up with the spawning. In one case it spawned while I was still standing there!
I noticed this too. In my case I had it particularly with insects on my first lot (recently moved to the witch's cove). I caught a LOT of swallowtail butterflies and rhino beetles, as well as light beetles, ladybirds and a couple of royal purple butterflies. I don't think mine was quite as fast as yours? but there were times when two spawn points on my lot would spawn twice a day so I'd catch four insects total without even leaving home, and I seem to have an rock spawn there as well. It was the empty lot just across from the witch's cove and the normal consignment store so I'm going to keep checking it to see if the spawns stay, and also because some of my mushrooms are still planted there. I only noticed this starting about a week into the game but part of that may have been that I'd been going out fishing and harvesting people's gardens during the day a lot before that. Though for other insect collectors, the elixir consignment store seems to have about six different spawn points. It also has a rock spawn but for me it was sitting between the porch and the hedge where you can't get, haha. Luckily I think it was only an emerald or something.
I've seen both Oberon and Titania Summerdream as zombies. I feel like I remember them having fairy wings but that might just be my imagination because in my head they should be fairies. I also saw Countess whatever-her-name is spawn as a zombie next to my fairy bungalow one night and immediately die, which was a little bizarre. Her ghost is red or orange, can't remember what death that indicates off the top of my head and I'm just typing this up before I crawl into bed. So far I have not had the opportunity from the science lab to restore her ghost, presumably because she wasn't part of my household, though I've kept her tombstone for lols.
