Skriva Woglinde moved in. She is completely bonkers; used to be a zombie-hunter but has come here to retire. Why? Because she is 29, and she heard the life expectancy of zombie-hunters is less than 30, so she feels she should quit while she's ahead. Also, ghosts and zombies scare her. She bought a tiny cottage. Her traits are Coward, Insane, Kleptomaniac, Lucky and Neurotic.
She was desperately short of money. Landgraab Laboratories contacted her and said they were looking for a Test Subject. After mailing back the papers for that, she had a wander around town, just to have a look around. She collected a signboard, a truffle, some seeds which she threw away, a couple of chunks of raw metal, a blue gem, a couple of butterflies, a rug! And then she bought some groceries and a lotto ticket.
On her arrival home, there was a message waiting for her. She had won §50,000 from the Lotto. Not bad for a §10 bet.
So she stood in the snow and ate the truffles she had found.
She bought a classic car with the winnings. And started to build a garage for it, and to expand the tiny house. She was actually a surprisingly handy Sim, but there were problems with the roof.
"I'll have to get a proper roofer to come and fix that. Maybe when it stops snowing." In the meantime she found a piece of board to block out most of the weather. There is still a gap. Her bedroom was warm enough; she just had to be wary of ice that formed on the staircase.
On Saturday she went to visit the Alchemists' Store. Not because she had any money to spend, more to see what - was available.
Skriva arrived to find Morten Pertwee and two of his daughters, and a couple of other locals. It was good to meet new people. More here than anywhere else in town!
She got on well with Louise Blanks, Morten's eldest daughter. Morten was being polite to his neighbour, the young widow Diane Westley.
She decided to eat three Jelly Beans. Number 1.
And then crept downstairs, she felt she needed a little "alone time".
- but downstairs was not empty. She fainted.
So she went out into the gardens to visit the bees. The ghost followed her out there. She fainted again and this ghost-gnome appeared!
Eventually she felt well enough to drive home.
And sold the items she had collected, using the resulting funds to buy this amazing throne-chair. Then she painted it and re-covered it to match her other chair (which had come from the Alchemists). Tasteful!
Skriva is made by sunken-woglinde and available at Mod the Sims 2.
Hatchet Falls is a version of Sunset Valley by Ellatrue and is still available on MATY.
Alchemy Acres is by Skadi and is also from MATY, where it was an entry for the I Want to Go Somewhere New Challenge. The version I had was Residential; I added an Elixir Register, replaced the secret door downstairs and made it Community.
