01-11. Dew Bubbles and Mood Effects

A simple update to share screenshots of Sol and Crysie blowing dew bubbles and then throwing the dew at each other and themselves.

There isn't a mood effect for blowing the bubbles, just a bit of fun.

In case you can't read the moodlet box for being colorized by dew, the effects are +10 for 3 hours.

01-10. Harvesting Dew and Outtakes

I took screenshots of my fairy couple shaking the Utopian flowers and gathering the dew. You can harvest several colors of dew from any of the flowers, no matter the flower color itself. 

Drinking the dew or throwing it on another sim will temporarily change skin and hair color and give positive moodlets. The rainbow color dew will add the Wonderland walk moodlet. Black will have random color effects, and the clear dew will remove any dew moodlets. Sims can also blow dew bubbles. 

I'll try to get pictures of my sims actually using the dew later. It took me a long time to harvest all the colors available, so I stopped there.

Soaked!

Dew spritzed.

A day's harvest of dew.

And a few more random screenshots I took during the evening and night.

Sol called Crysie over to make out in the car.

He later had to fairy repair the broken stereo while Crysie gathered more dew from the flowers.

The ghost gnomes moved, but I still haven't seen any ghosts.

One gnome stayed indoors.

Crysie and Sol love their fairy house.

I caught the sunrise.

01-09. Dew Flowers, Mushroom Dining, and More

It isn't easy to get dew flowers from the Utopian future to spawn in home worlds, but it's possible. Instead, as a quicker solution, I installed the Giant Utopian Flowers Un-Hider mod by dim4sim.

The dew flowers take up a lot of ground space, so I tried to keep the area open and uncluttered. But I thought these fantasy flowers would look good with Severinka's Fairy Garden Mushroom Table and Chair set.

Sol played chase with Charlotte around the flowers.

Sol is an Animal Lover, so he and Charlotte enjoy spending time together.

Crysie canned more fruit from the garden while Charlotte slept next to her.

The family's storage of canned goods is increasing. When they're hungry, they often go over here and grab a jar of jam or preserves to spread on toast and scones.

Crysie came in to dance with the Gnomes of the Darned nearby. They've only had the gnomes a short while, so I haven't seen any ghosts appear yet.

This is a small bistro dining area on the top floor of one of the Amore Venue buildings. Just for fun, I assigned aliens to the roles of chef and waitress using Ani's Business As Unusual Bistro mod.

The waitress was leaving work when I took the screenshots that evening. Both she and the chef still use spaceships for their vehicles.

01-08. Townies at the Tavern

Here are the last of the screenshots I have for my day in Dragon Valley. These feature some of the townies. I haven't spent much time in DV, so I know very little about the sims there.

Charlotte playing tug of war with a townie she met.

Here's the same townie winning big time on this slot machine.

One lady had her own purple dragon she carried around with her.

Crysie tried singing karaoke with this girl. They were easy on the eyes, but hard on the ears!

A blue-haired townie with the bartender. Charlotte got a wish to watch TV, so I turned one on for her.

More townies having fun at the Dragon Tavern.

01-07. Fun Times at Dragon Tavern

I took a lot of screenshots during my recent game play in Dragon Valley. But there were 5 different goals I was working on: placing the Mages Guild and making sure the household was set, renovating and testing the tavern, seeing fairies cheat the claw machine, trying out the last AAS dress, and getting those Gnomes of the Darned. 

These are screenshots of Sol and Crysie's other activities at the Dragon Tavern.

Rushing off to the tavern early that morning.

Karaoke singing. Both of them were terrible, but enthusiastic! I missed Emad's Natural Born Performer talent.

They tried some "sweet moves" during karaoke. At least they were having fun.

Sol has the Lucky trait, but when he first started gambling, he lost some money.

Crysie lost quite a bit at first. I found her kicking the machine. This One Armed Bandit was "cold."

Charlotte found townies to play with and had a good time howling to the music.

I had put an extra slot machine in the restroom area, and a townie was making good money on it. When he finally gave it up, I sent Sol over to try his luck. A hot machine! Meanwhile, Crysie went back to trying for gnomes.

The bartender was busy serving guests, mostly meals rather than drinks.

By the end of the day, Crysie and Sol were ... still terrible at karaoke!

As the tavern got more lively, I found Sol starting to slow dance with this girl. I think she asked him. But just as he got his arms around her, Crysie broke into his queue and canceled the dancing with a "Play Catch" action. Just keeping an eye on her boyfriend, that's all!

____

There was a dragon egg on the premises and I saw a townie talking to it. The hatching countdown started!

When I saw the egg was almost ready to hatch, I sent Crysie over to get the dragon when it arrived. But two townies got there before her. The policeman snatched the egg up before Crysie could get to it. "Hey!! Give that egg back!" ... I used NRaas DebugEnabler to reach into the policeman's inventory and retrieve the egg.

I had Crysie set the egg back out so it could hatch. It wouldn't hatch while in her inventory.

A purple dragon! The family only had a green dragon at home (Grail), so I was happy to see this little guy. We named it immediately so the townies wouldn't try to take him.

Its name is Perp (short for perpetrator). First, for its purple color. And second, because it was stolen twice before its hatching--once by a townie and once by Crysie!
