NOTE: I am too stupid to spell "Irony" correctly. Please help with wolf problem.

Why is it that when I'm playing Pleasantview, where I don't want any werewolves, the lotp is all over the place. Then I play Veronaville (which I want to have werewolves and plant sims) and I can't find a single one? Iorny, the fact that I installed Seasons (I suspect that installing Pets resets the moon to full or almost full), or a hack? I didn't see a hack that advertised less wolves, I have wolfwatchers but I thought that just fixed the want to where they had to see the wolf...
Can't seem to get a plantsim there either. Grr.

Check over on djsims -- jfade has signs there you can put on the lot to ban wolves or attract more of them.  I see the lotp almost every night on lots with the wolf attraction sign on it.

[sara_dippity]

But that would be cheating. I must wait and wait and drink elixer until his grandchildren have grown old and died just like the game intended. I just wanted to make sure I didn't accidentally have something that was preventing the wolf completely.

[jsalemi]

I not sure how attracting more wolves is any more cheating than using the elixer to make a sim live forever, but hey -- whatever floats your boat.

[Liss]

silly joe, because the elixir already exists in the Sim World.  The sign comes from the Human World. :p

[sara_dippity]

I was about to write something tongue in cheek but in the process I defeated myself. Don't ask. Anyway, you earn the elixir rather than just having it. If there was a wolf summoner that you earned, that I would do. Money doesn't count, it's too easy.

I usually don't correct spelling, but... it's irony. Not iorny.

[sara_dippity]

Man, I've done that so many times. I should know better by now!

Please change the thread title, I keep reading it as 'horny'

[Venusy]

Fixed.

And from the wolfwatchers RTFM:

Wolf fears no longer satisfied unless sim actually witnesses appearance of wolf.
Wolves much less likely to appear in densely populated areas (areas with high
community lot and residential density), like downtown.

Heh. Yeah, I kept reading it as horny wolves too. :}

*snort* now the people in my classroom are wondering while I'm holding in laughter during a lecture....
Yeah, I read that part. But this is in Veronaville, and all but the Summerdream family has suffered during an unfortunate neighborhood wide storm. It was strange, really. Every single sim was struck by lightning until quite dead, with the exception of Hermia and Juliette... I also added extra trees to the 'hood.

[Emma]

I'm not too sure but I think you have to add extra trees to the actual lot too to make it more likely for the LOTP to appear.

Well, I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure those signs are aspiration rewards. (Or... he has versions of them as aspiration rewards, at least that's what I have in my game).  So... in effect, you can "earn" them the same way you "earn" the Elixir.

I play pretty much the same way, in that my sims never get any cheaty type objects for free.  Everything has to come at a price.

AweSIM! Er, uh, sorry for the pun.

Ok, I haven't used any non awesome hacks since about two months into the game. No known conflicts?

edit ~ Oh, the "dj" is jfade, ok. I'm sure there is some experience there with MATY hacks then.

[KatEnigma]

Yes, more trees on a lot will attract the LOTP (well, and all wolves) as well as having babies and toddlers around. Prima says for every 4 trees the likelihood goes up X percentage points (too lazy to look it up) and I've tried it in game, and it does seem to work.

Actually, you do earn the wolf summoner -- it's an ASP reward object, not a buyable object. Same with the no-wolf sign.

Really? Say, thanks for the tip!!!! I'm glad no one mentioned this four posts above this one so you could be the first to tell me!!!

[rohina]

I think it is quite ironic that you actually meant "Ironically" not "Iorny" in that sentence.

[Liss]

Is a horny wolf like a horny turkey?
