AL gameplay questions and help

[VampLena]

hey all, I just got AL today mostly because i was looking forward to (finally!) getting Makin'Magic esqe-ness for Sims 2 but for some reason i dont see any witches or know whos one anywhere.  How can I find them? I really want to be a witch! Also I was wondering if theres skin replacements for them yet? or if i could take an existing one like a Pixie one and make it work for them?

Thanks!

You have to visit the communitylots. They work the same as vampires. The Good witch visits the communitylots by day the Evil one by night. The twin sister in Belladonna cove already know witches. If you're playing that hood you can always have your sims befriend them and then play them and let them invite you all over. (your sims and the withces)

[virgali]

I've been searching around but couldn't find the answere. How do you use the Freeze Time Spell? Also the summon sim one?

[kutto]

When you get a witch, you can spread it to other sims once the witch reaches a sufficient magic level.

[kutto]

If you have the requisite magic level, try clicking on the witch herself. Also, make sure you have all the reagents.

[Zazazu]

You can also just take the first witch you run into, become best friends, and then study the opposite alignment after becoming a witch.

[virgali]

Thank you ^^ They appeared grayed out at first. I found the Sumon one I was missing the reagents indeed. The Tempus Interroptus however didn't appear in my "spellbook" so I didn't know what reagent was missing. After doing another spell I got a message that I learned new spells and there it was.

It's strange it was grayed out when I haven't officially learned it yet... oh well

Another question My evil with won't make the "lamp" not sure what the English name for it is. Any idea why and how I could solve the problem?

[kutto]

Have you made one already? I made one and then lost the option to make another.

[virgali]

I'm pretty sure the option is still up for my Good Witch. I had the Evil Witch try it first but nothing appeared in her inf after several simhours. I then tried with my Good Witch, she made one in short time and the option is still there I believe.

I then tried again with my Evil Witch without any luck.

If you are still looking for replacement skins Spookymuffin at Insim has made a nice one for evil witches and you can get it here http://www.insimenator.net/showthread.php?t=90989
HP at MTS2 has also made something so that just the regular skin shows through here http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=299163

Since the topic at hand IS AL gameplay and questions and help, I was just wondering... how in the world do you get the neighbor to babysit?

[witch]

Maybe it's to do with relationship, I don't know. In the Riley?/Cho lot I just used him to click on her and it says something like, 'would you mind the children?' She went into his flat and bathed her own kid there and his kid just stayed home normally.

[fway]

Mhrm, well I suppose since it's logical to build a relationship to know who's really watching your kids.. Yeah, come to think of it, I probably wouldn't want someone watching my sim kids if I didn't know them well. Anywho, I was just asking that question because my couple just got married, and they already had a kid and I booked a honeymoon for them. Well the time that the van came the kid was already at school. So, the kid probably won't know that his parent's are off at Twikki Island. XD

[Inge]

Lol!  You won't be able to do that sort of thing in Sims3 - the kid will be home alone for 3 days then!

Yeah, they'll be much more than latch key kids XD

Witchiness is TurnonTraits3 Flag 4 (dec) (and same flag in traits and turnoffs)

Ohh, I just have a question about the witch trait. Does that mean that the witchiness gets passed down, and that there's a good chance of having a kid who'll turn out to be a witch in their teen years? I realize that children and toddlers cannot be witches.

[VampLena]

Thanks for all the help, i got the skins replaced and i found a witch since i moved to Belladonna Cove, ironically the Light Side witch was totally attracted to me and wanting to woo-hoo nearly immediately making the Path of Light option come up rather fast (she had 2 lightning bolts to me ) Unfortunatly I want to be a EVIL witch, from the get go, so i finally found Francis and shes totally not attracted to me, bleh so now its a uphill battle to become friends with her, took awhile and im finally a witch And I slept with both of them lol.

I was wondering, when do i get the new skin? My daughter become Lightside too and she doesnt have the Light Witch Skin and I dont have the Dark skin. Is it also something that has to be unlocked? Thanks!

Edit> Interestingly also, The Good Witch showed up downtown at the Crypt O'Night at Nighttime for some reason, while the Evil Witch Showed up at Freya's during the day time. Im not complaining but does that mean something is wonky with them?

I believe it's completely random what witch turns up when and where. I don't think anything is wonky in your game.

Highly doubtful. Vampirism is a turn on too, and that isn't genetically inheritable.

[Zazazu]

My super-evil and super-good witches had a baby. There is nothing special about the child.

[fway]

Has she grown up to be a teenager yet Zazazu? I just meant to ask if they would get the witchyness by their teen years. Please don't mind me, I'm just too lazy to do it. XD

You can just become a good witch then when you get your spell book click it and choose learnt he path of darkness or something

My question any advice on how to bosst my witches to either Super Good or Super Evil? I keep on using my spells on random townies without any luck! I wish I could lock up 2 sims in my home and use as guinnee pig untill my Evil becomes green and my good one starts to sparkle... any ideas?

[Tsarina]

You can become friends with the witch of the opposite alignment and ask them to teach you the path of light/darkness (That should give you sparkles as the opposite of what you were before), or you can just make your sim "study the path of *whatever*" with the spell book.

[VampLena]

there must be something wrong then, neither my good witch or evil witch has pretty sparkles, all they got physically was a new dress and hat.

Maybe they are rendered with shaders? Do you have fish? If not then they may be the same.
