Strangetown Extras: zombie tour guide

Did I mention how much I love the hack that unlocks the alien and zombie skin tones? Well, I do.






A zombie tour guide! These are the makings of a good horror movie. (And they thought that Big Foot was something to worry about.)




Johnny: Okay, this was not in my travel guide.

Ripp: *worries*

Ophelia: Hey look! A Canada goose.

I'll bet you didn't know that Three Lakes is in Canada. :P It definitely looks like it, anyway. It's one big Canadian log cabin cliché.

I sent Johnny, Ripp, and Ophelia to Three Lakes (that's one for each of them), just to play around with Bon Voyage. Depending on how things go in the next update (with the outcome of certain events), this just might happen in the story too.

I love that Canada Goose pic. REPRESENT

I love that hack, too.

I have a lot of zombie bosses (when they call in sick), a zombie matchmaker, and a random zombie townie who really enjoys visiting The Club. "WHOOOORES. . .I mean. . .BRAAAAINS."

I'm still waiting for a zombie food delivery person.

(oh and I fully expect to see some Bigfoot appreciation from you, it's your mission, should you choose to accept it, to make me want BV)

With Ripp staring at Phi like that, I don't think that the Canadian goose is the only one she'll be experiencing...

That is so awesome! And I love that you took them to Three Lakes! I agree... it is a lot like Canada! (not that I've been there, mind you (pouts cause I'd like to go) but from what I've heard. :P

I'm sure all of the Trio are afraid of meeting Bigfoot. :P But I'm with Madame Ugly. Make them dig and dig and dig until they unearth that map to the Hidden Burrow and send them off. Ripp was afraid to meet Bigfoot in my game once too... but then once he did and decided it wasn't so bad, he wanted to be friends. :D And the Bigfoot hug is so cute... and also when the Bigfoots (feets?) become Elders, they turn all silver... awwww...

I love Bigfoot! I had one living with a family once and he was sooo sweet. **Bigfoot love**

I flip flop about getting that hack. While it would create lots of hilarity, for certain stories, I'd have to make sure to avoid aliens and zombies, which could be annoying, and lord knows I'm lazy. :P

If this does get in the story, I assume you'll leave out the zombie, right?

I'm still all manner of thrilled that just after Lilith died and was saved in my all-star asylum, the Chinese delivery place sent the zombie over. I think I broke something laughing.

Then there's the ten million zombie bartenders in all my 'hoods. I don't think I've seen a non-zombie at the bar in forever. And the same one seems to work all over downtown in my Farfallas 'hood....

The zombie alien bride pizza service STILL wins! :P
I love when Sims randomly birdwatch. Especially when they spot things in their yard like TROPICAL BIRDS! One time Jill Smith walked by and was autonomously bird watching when I was playing the Grunt's house and she got stung chased by bees! That was the first time I saw that, it was hilarious.

Yeah, that hack is adorable for random stuff like that :). I had a zombie paper-boy who I was SO going to add to the storyline, but sadly I lost him with the neighborhood. And I also like to have random alien NPC's around, like teachers, gardeners, bartenders, etc. In a town with such a high incidence of alien abductions like Strangetown, it makes sense.

I still haven't explored the other two vacation neighborhoods. There's a lot of stuff to try out! :D

Oh and what is that hack, by the way? I did a Google search on it and found nothing. I thought it might be fun to try!

Where is this hack from again? I think I need it for in game. I think I remember someone talking about it six months ago, but well- that was six months ago.

And good call on the Canada goose call. I know you're from Canada, so you'll pronounce it correctly anyway. But NPR had a segment the other day chastising Americans for calling them Canadian goose/geese. Yes, it really does happen here.

This is just good ol' reinforcement. :)

That hack scares me, I like my human NPC's very much. And plus, how will I know if they're breedable if they have their zombie skin? :O

I love that you get to play with them outside the structure of the story like this, it's such fun! Also I imagine the tour guide saying, "Okay now, in case we get cut off from civilization for some unexpected reason, which of you three has the tastiest brains?" ;P

Go Canada! :D *waves flag* :)
