Supernatural - First Impressions

If you hover over a zombie to find out their name, you can use resetsim and it will remove them from your lot.

I just start playing and I love it. I created a fairy and a werewolf, the wings are so pretty. I haven't explore much of the town, but I like it. It is a big town!
The only little problem that I've get is the game wants to uninstall when you take the disk out and put it back in. it happened with generations also, so if it happen to anybody just say no and push the play button.
I can't wait to play again but must give myself a hour break, video games give me vertigo whgen I play too long.

Just barely installed the game, but I have a new love already.

The bug display case. Not only can you display up to 8 bugs (2 side by side, stack of 4 each), but when you open it, you can store more bugs inside, like the treasure chests from EA.

Hurray!

Where is the bug display located in BuyMode?

My sim explored the Archives but failed at understanding the supernatural. She got the Lunacy moodlet for +40 for 12 hours (I think). Unfortunately, she keeps popping actions to "lunacy slap" or "lunacy hug" other sims that I have to keep canceling. She just dropped her queue to freak out like a neurotic sim would, but she's not neurotic.

Yeah but if they're spawning constantly that's barely going to keep up with them even if you do nothing else.

Most of these interactions are directly associated with the Full Moon so these wishes and this moodlet will happen every Full Moon.  The neurotic screaming happened in my dynasty the first time a zombie appeared and the whole family did it not just one person.

It's still 3 days to a new moon. The best part is that she got the moodlet for freaking out and she kept doing it - at least once an hour until the lunacy moodlet was gone.

There are some new romantic interactions I found (generation 7 in my Dynasty is a Hopeless Romantic, and with the install of Supernatural, her Romantic Interest turned into a fairy).

Confess to Watching You While You Sleep
Ask to be Protected
Promise to Protect

@Shirin I have those too, and it's not only for hopeless romantics.

I LOVE the game and the zombies, but the zombie glitch is seriously starting to annoy me! They've been spawning day and night (if I reset one, another appears) and it slows down my entire game. I'm at the point where I would nix zombies from my game completely, but apparently there's no option under population control? Which really surprises me, because that means the only way to keep zombies out of your game is to opt out of the lunar cycle (which is also totally bugged and doesn't follow the set schedule in my game, but whatever). What if someone wants to play a werewolf but doesn't want zombies in their game?

I guess I should give the Peashooters a try? Maybe they'll send the zombies away permanently? Another option is to save my family and create a new save file and hope the glitch doesn't occur again, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.

Sure that it will be fixed with the next patch, but I'm hoping that the problems with the Lunar Cycle aren't a portent of bugs to come in Seasons...

EDIT: Also, I thought I heard that we might be able to delete Memories from our game? Or is that coming with Seasons (or maybe not at all, eep)? Because memories don't add to my gaming experience at all and they're probably slowing down my game. I know this is a sort of techie question but is there a way to delete the memories manually in the Sims 3 folder?

Up thread I posted about this. I did find a fix of sorts.
First, things I tried:
- Used the testingcheatsenabled option to remove zombies. That didn't remove them, it did however instantly turned them human, and they immediately left the lot. Not a great solution as they were spawning two-three at a time, all day, every day.

- Saved the game under another name. Nope.

-Cleared the caches (per instructions on this forum's technical help thread.) Nope.

I then exported my Sim and household. Started a new game, planted the household. That did the trick. No more zombies, yay. It also fixed an issue where my fairy's wings were not displaying properly. I don't know what caused the original problem. I did turn off celebrities when I started, so I'm not sure if that somehow started the raging zombies.

However there's a cost to this choice if you have an extensive social network (as in, you won't have any when you start new.) In my case it also wiped out all the lifetime awards I had purchased. I did resort to cheats in order to put things back to a close approximation to where I left off.

Not sure where to post this, but my game is infested with zombies.

For something like this, you can start a new topic on the Supernatural board.  It's a real issue and not really a "first impression" of the EP.

Thanks! I think I'll end up doing this because my Sims have been very antisocial and have almost no townie relations, so not much of a cost there. I've done this fix before for house-related bugs. It's not my favorite but if it'll clean up the zombies, then it's worth it.

Like you, I also nixed Celebrities from my game because OMG Celebrity opportunity spam is SO ANNOYING. But I'm actually wondering if my problems are more because I messed around with the Lunar Cycle a lot. I even set it permanently to Full Moon at one point, and I think my problems started after that...even after I changed it back, it's like I was 'stuck'.

So hopefully if I don't mess with the Lunar Cycles, it'll be okay, although irregardless I think the Lunar Cycles are bugged, because if I exit the game during a Full Moon, it'll be the day before when I return. Which is why I set it permanently to Full Moon in the first place, because I kept missing the Full Moon and wanted to experience zombies!

...I definitely got that wish. And then some.

I haven't thoroughly played yet, but here's my initial verdict.


I moved into Moonlight Falls and made an Evil Faerie named Alfonzo and his good daughter, a witch named Daisy. To complete the ensemble, I made sure that Alfonzo had Purple Wings.


Moving into Moonlight Falls, I saw that there weren't a lot of empty lots.   I bought a lot for around $3000, and Motherlode'd twice. I used as much SN content as possible. I love the LLAMA and the Hidden Door. My house is full of secret passages, and even has two LLAMA's. 


I LOL'd at the new Romantic Interaction "Confess to Watching while Sleeping" (or something). It was so sweet (in my eyes. It can be ambiguous, but I took it the sweet way). I didn't try it, but I did have my Alfonzo marry a human.


I spent a lot of time just zapping around in the LLAMA, and I also enjoyed brooms -- EA even put training wheels on the Zoomsweeper Junior broom.


All in all, from me, around a 8/10.
