Yeah, EAxis supernaturals are fun for playing, but they kind of suck for certain types of storytelling. I mean, it doesn't take hacks to cure vampires/werewolves/plantsims/witches, just potions, zombies can be cured with hacks, aliens are just a different skintone and eyes, ghosts can be brought back to life without too much trouble...really, the only totally separate ones are Bigfoot and servos, and Bigfoot mostly acts like a human anyway. And I guess the genie, but...genie. Making them incurable, at the very least, is pretty much necessary for any serious story.
Heh, nice to see all the familiar faces. Sims really aren't recognizable without their signature hair/eyes/clothing, unless they have a really strange face (Rainelle Neengia, Archie Vetinari). And I can see Desdemona as secondary Knowledge, though I didn't give anyone but Lily secondaries in my game.
Yes, Desi is not a small town girl. At all. Agreed with you that she's really not a dog person, and yeah, she's not really a pet person in general, but at the point she was at when she got Shadow, it made sense - she was scared to trust humans for anything deeper, but a cat was safe, and she was practically dying for company. And yes, filming with pets sucks. There's multiple reasons Roxanna never got one (plotwise it wasn't necessary and didn't make sense, since a) she was too busy with her kids to deal with a pet and b) a pet would always remind her of Seren and Ma'or and the cat they grew up with and c) she's not really a huge pet person either), but one of the practical ones was that filming with them is horrendous and I didn't need more complications. And hey, at least you could freeze the cat! Filming without the freezer clock makes pets that much worse.
Aww, cute kids! Are you going to bring them into your main hood?
Heh, I am amused that Roxanna is staring at you as well. Creepiest sim ever. One of my favorites, don't get me wrong, but creepy as all fuck. I couldn't tell you about her intelligence as a vampire, as she only got vamped when I needed her to and everything after that point was intentionally filmed anyway, so I didn't really PLAY her as a vamp.
I am amused at how often Jimmy thought Desdemona was hot.
