SIMUL8: WB’s Charmed Ones SIM 4 Life

So, basically, what if the cast of WB’s Charmed, premiering in 1998, were a household of friends making a living, selling paintings? When you’re playing the simplest version of Sims 4, it’s not like you have the Modifications to remake that world, though our player, Dawn, has bought one package of three ‘mods’ and a couple of other small ones. So, after that, she could’ve created the characters again as Magic Users. She’s only been at her latest game hobby basically here in April- it was Minecraft last month. She hasn’t tried Fortnight, where I imagine you could also build characters with similar powers. But it’s not quite the powers that make characters enjoyable, though when you’re a little kid, or just one at heart, imaginative appeal goes a long ways. She tried to recapture the looks of the actors, though she’s mused you don’t get to radically change heights. That’s too bad, because we’d already have our own Guillermo, a Sim of late night host Jimmy Kimmel’s everyday guy side kick. She chose the personality traits and aspirations closest to the Charmed Ones and their main squeezes. There’s no way for Cole to become The Source, no enemies like Barnabas hatching plots, and Demons are only an overlay of impressions as she watches NPCs interact with, say, Cole. I heard her reacting excitedly that Cole was giving instructions to a woman who’d turned out to be one of the Demons. Dawn simply had made it up. When you’ve been awake a couple of days, that’s like second nature. So, who’s living there?

Phoebe, Prue and Piper Halliwell, for starters. Then, Leo Wyatt, Cole Turner- those two in a sec- and Andy, the cop who dates Prue. Only, none of the hetero pairings happened- some flirting, but only one romantic relationship. Leo and Cole got married!!! Sort of just happened.

Piper She’d like to add Darrell and his wife, too. She’s still pretty new- Dawn had never run a household of characters before, and one house was also a good way to keep up with everyone. A few days later, she began making my Butterfly characters into Sims, too.

Dawn had so much fun watching the number of carefree and imaginative ways you could bring your choice of Story and Characterization into a Sims game, after watching gamer Laurenzside. Dawn loves to go back to the beginnings of channels she likes and catch up, so, she doesn’t watch many, but she tends to stay with that channel for nearly every episode, while she thinks of how this applies to her hobby. Love plants? Why not watch self-described Hilo Girl Jewelyn, who also has a travel channel? Her plant viewership grew out of a fashion vlog. Dawn observed a lot about cultivating houseplants, shopping for them- she even bought a cutting of Bob Marley, whatever plant he is (seriously, not the one you think)- twice. For a while, it was The Rebelz. I am trying to recall another lesbian couple’s channel- she went back to their lives before babies. Even Laurenzside came to her attention because she’s now had a baby. It’s become her past time, especially over the Pandemic. These were some of the people who inspired her to think of vlogging.

So, everyone’s living together, painting. Dawn’s tried to modify a muffin shop into a bargain-basement P3. One of our other characters, Lue Lyron, the teen magic user/ high school student, came by there- Piper’s had a real problem getting customers served, which was a pity since for a long time, she’d sold a single muffin. Fortunately, she sells lots of the paintings made at the Halliwell Budge Manor. Lyron was also served. He is from another ‘World,’ where he shares a house with the Marc Kane for now. I think she’s finding them new roommates to keep the bills paid and social bars up. It’s funny how watching the Sims can make you think about, say, your own Social Bar, or change the way you picture sending yourself to the bathroom, showering, or sleeping. You see to their needs. Sometimes they get the hang of it on their own. Sometimes, they louse up without you. Sometimes they also refuse to do what you key in. Sometimes, they do things like, Leo stealing easels.

I’ll give you an example and reference the Ghost Mod package she bought, too. She thought, well, on the show, their Mom’s a ghost, right? She’s dead in the pilot, and eventually comes on as a character. Dawn hasn’t made and killed a character- there’s many ways to do a Sim in, so they will become a Ghost, as she learned from Laurenz. But she nearly had a ghost of her own. She thought about letting it play through, but it was actually the most horrifying experience by far I’ve ever had through a video game.

Energetic, but paradoxically, in need of sleep, her Phoebe took a swim. Dawn was playing other characters at the time, then she found this going on, too late. Dawn had just installed the pool since the evening before, Friday, because it seemed like a hit with her Halliwells. Horribly, Phoebe flopped into the pool, and despite all efforts to send her instructions to move, she slept, and drowned! It was so stupid. “You’ve got to mention: as she was drowning,” Dawn says, “she got a Level Up in her Fitness Skill.” But watching the characters plead to Death for Phoebe’s life was awful! She had put quite a bit of game time, past few days, sending them through Sim Life together. Dawn really wanted the Plead With Death to work, but she knows pleas with Death rarely avail. She told me about a long term plan by which she could use a Wishing Well, in her phantasm friendship, to become alive again. But as she was also considering restarting the game before it saved, I persuaded her to take that stigma off her fun little game. She had intended to have at least one Ghost, but she didn’t intend it to be, essentially, the star of her Simulation! I pointed out, truly, Phoebe Halliwell was the primary reason she wanted to play the game this way. It might’ve been interesting, and she lost a few paintings – the sales story for one was pretty good- but she’s not playing with Ghost Phoebe, after all. It was just too sad, you know? The kind that makes you laugh about taking it seriously. “Why do I keep losing paintings, that way?” she moans. “You can move it with Square…and it was one I’d never seen made before, and I liked it SO much! Is it behind a bed, here?” She’s double-hitting square while she’s got her cursor on the painting. She just wants to move it a little, and it disappears. She’s got an epidemic of characters cooking food and leaving it uneaten, everywhere. “Put away! Put away….put away, hot dogs, chicken skewers…Girlfriend? Am I going to have put all this away, because you can’t finish peeing?”
