Hi all! As some of you know I was invited to the nordic sn event and sadly my internet has died but the nice tourist center here let me log on now so I can share what I found. So I'm just posting all this I noticed which was all new info at the 13th july, but now much of it is known. Anyhow! I gotta' run back to work but hopefully the home internet will be working very soon so I can talk/answer something etc.

There were a few questions Megan said she'd check up on and get back about, but I've not heard anything yet. Anyhow, here you all get to read what I saw =D

I can also recommend http://simgoodies.com/guru/spesial/overnaturlig-stockholm/ which a really nice norwegian guy wrote, and he aws there too so I shared all I saw with him (of course) so some stuff might appear on both places. He's posted TONS of pics ^¨

With testingcheats you can click on all types of creatures and select “edit in CAS”, at least in this demo.

All creatures can be created as toddlers and upward through the ages

Accessories in CAS:
nails
teeth
the vampire-V
several earpendents/rings..that kind of jewelry
”bracelets”
necklaces
and so on, go check simgoodie ^^

No new toddler stuff, very scarcely for children and elders but teens almost got a decent amount, though focus lies with young adult/adult as usual.

12 skintones with sliders to each, of which two are ”rainbow”, so not just a color and then darker/lighter, but various colors like a rainbow in the slider instead

Pointy and tilted ears possible to have on any kind of sim

New death type ghosts:
Transmuted – orangeyellow without a fancy effect (like dripping water for drowned or flames fro fire etc)
Haunting curse – green
Jelly bean death – purple turqoise and “pulsating” in jellybean shaped shapes sort of
All the types of deaths possible in your game can be chosen as ghosts in CAS

Egenskaper:
Supernatural fan/skeptic
Proper
Night owl
Gatherer
Brooding

LTW (not all though, since we too late noticed you can only choose some while being a specific creature):
Alchemy artisan –use 50 elixir + max alchemy skill
Leader of the pack – convert 5 to werewolf + find stuff of a value of 40 000 from hunting
Magic makeover – 12 different ”sims inner beauty” (from magical mirror) and max charisma
Master of mysticism – max fortune teller (get the job in the gypsy caravan, can do readings outside of job time in caravan to increase job grade)
Turn the town – drink from 20 sims + turn 5 to vampire
Greener gardens – make 100 plants grow by using ”bloom” + max gardening
And some more I didn’t have time enough to check

new music – dark wave

ca 10 new tattoos

LTW rewards:
Philosophers stone = plumbob altar, where you can ”bind ghost” = add any ghost you like from town whom your sim has befriended to the active household + make gold (of course ^^ ), 40 000 points, all can redeem this
Flying vacuum – ”broom but an awesome looking vacuum cleaner!! Like in the Kenny Starfighter chase through the tunnels below the school escaping Dr Deo’s zombies! , costs 10 000, all can redeem it
Depending on lifestate there are some extras, for example:
Queen of the fae – summon fairies + change/edit color and shape of wings whenever one want, + more ”fairy stamina”

Brooms:
Every type of creature/sim can use them (it seems, definitely though fairies)
They ride like cars above roads but flying and you can make “stund rides” and buy two sorts of mini “arenas” where you can “learn stunts” or something like that
Teens and older can use the brooms+the flying vacuum ^^

Beekeeping:
No Claudia the Bear

Buy/build mode: (very possible I’ve missed a few things here)
Rocking horse
Phone booth = lightning leap atomic molecular arranger = ”teleporter” between the booths, which one can name to whatever suits oneself, and a fancy effect
5 new ”trees” + a green lush bush
TONS of gothic nice furniture, windows etc etc
Approximately 10 different wands, you can have several in a sim’s inventory at the same time and select ”preferred wand” to choose a default
Gem cutting machine according to Megan you’d always get some dust no matter which cut you choose to cut your gem into, and dust is often used in elixirs
Bonehilda! – cares for toddlers/the house/cleaning and I accidently aged her with testingcheats and then she got the skintone of Grim Reaper and snow white hair and eyes, but the next time I knocked at the ”coffin” she was her old self again. The coffin is framed by bones….. >=) and you had only 2 boring socials with her :/ Since they were so not special I didn’t write the exact ones down, but it probably was “chat” and “send away”
Two fairyhouses, castle+cottage, max 8 fairies can enter at the same time when having a fairy house party, but more sims can stand outside and ”dance” sort of. All ages of fairies can transform and fly into the fairy house, YES – toddlers as well.
Magic mirror where you can get ”magical makeover” which seems automated and gives some random outfit and a moodlet + you can stand chat with the mirror and of course also practice charisma skill.
Four brooms
Obviously an alchemy station
One new vampire altar
Jelly bean-bush
Insect and elixir shelves/cabinets

In buydebug:
Rock troll = ”stone” with rockified goblin/troll = gigantic and nice decoration
Gnome of the Darned = SUPERCUTE transparent colored ghost gnome….! Has different color in every ”pose”, and is attainable the proper way via being ”haunted”, according to Megan and that is related to ghosts who should be able to haunt + something with something we can’t discuss until the 13th
Airconditioning pipes/stuff.

Demographics:
On/off-button for the game’s ”Story progression” = if the game should add the ”proper” amount of kids/werewolves/mummies/pets/whatever you have available via your expansions in a way EA finds ”normal”
then additional checkboxes for the creatures except zombies and the previous expansions’ creatures like mummies/genies etc and then for celebs, horses and then a last one for cats/dogs named “pets”, and those horses/cats/dogs are only the ones added to households, NOT the wild and stray ones….at least that was what Megan said.
Though we WILL get a way to remove celebrity stars from already existing sims !!!!!! But that wasn’t in the demo yet.

Lunar cycle options:
Rotating cycle adjustable by slider with 2 4 6 8 10 days options, where each moon phase will be that many days (was approximately 7 moon phases) and then an option to instead choose which moon phase desired and have that being constant.
Pets will be affected by the lunar cycle

Protecting
Ask protect, offer to protect, call that sim for help at any time, the protected ”feels safe”, so they won’t get afraid/scared of stuff they usually would, since they know their protector is there. Though there are no seriously dangerous things to be afraid of ingame... xD

Fairies
_all_ fairies has wings =) though not the baby babies, but toddler and older has wings =)
Toddlers and upwards can use fairy houses
Fairy children can make an ”I can fly” loop like the fairy in the trailer does when they zoom back to the room and all the creatures appears
Teens and upwards can activate various ”auras” and gets tons of social interactions
They’ve got a pink sparkly/glittery meter below their portrait in the panel with a thin magic want with a ”star” in the end sort of showing your ”fairy stamina”
6 different wings to color in CAS and editable if the fairy has redeemed ”Queen of the fae”- LTW reward for 40 000.
Didn’t have time to try but assuming it’s the fairies who can use ”bloom” on plants
Fairies can talk to plants


Werewolves
Reminds me of dogs when they scratch furniture, which they should be able to do from toddler age and upwards
Has a moon by their portrait
Gets transformed into the were form if any motive gets too low
Can transform and use ”hunt” from child and older
You can’t be aged up when in transformed state, not been able to check if they transform back and autoage if the time for the age runs
At full moon toddlers and upwards should be able to howl, but at some certain age they should be able to howl whenever they choose to, if I got it right
”rub belly”, is so awesome and the werewolf throws itself down on the floor/ground on its back and is hilarious
If several werewolves are on a lot they can “form a pack” like sims can “make a group” and then get special pack interactions like howling or hunting together
Can eat raw stuff




Zombies
Crawl up on the cemetary when it’s full moon and are moving around the neighborhood or possible the sims outside of the cemetary were premade permanent zombies of bitten zombies that night, since some came to the lot we were on and ate/killed some plants, so BEWARE and fence up/lock your gardens or move them inside if you plan on having full moons
They’ve got several shades of zombie skintone
They’re as slow as mummies so you can easily escape, and fixates on plants so we couldn’t even get one to attack our sim... lol

Ghosts
Seems to have extremely few extra/special interactions, or maybe we just missed it, but as listed somewhere above they should be able to ”haunt” at least some of the other lifestates. Didn’t find a haunting option with the jellybean ghost I clicked around with.
Can’t “die”



Last bit about vamps:

So the last things that Might probably not be any news any longer... xD

Vampires
They've got a moon by their portraits
they NEVER age, or at least it says that when you hover over their age meter, but Megan said they'd eventually age, but slowly, but the toddler I tried to get to age was refusing to do so when trying with testingcheats. You'er supposed to be able to age them with the birthday cake she said. Since I failed in aging that toddler I couldn't check much about vamps... xD and had so many other things to try to watch as it was and it was REAL HARD to get a household member attacked by a zombie at the graveyard. They just went for the wolfsbane bush there...
Their 3 hours in the sun before the moodlet arrives is still present

and that was the tiiiiny last bits of info I had, apart from general gameplay impressions

Though now I do wonder, will the vampire kids/teens age be noticed somehow, so the ceremonies etc in school that came with Generations will work properly for them? :S

Alexander added the second part of the SimGoodie article now, so hit "Artikkel - Del 2" to see what he found http://simgoodies.com/guru/spesial/overnaturlig-stockholm/

I'd quite happily say, one of the best loading screens, all this info being released and they haven't even got onto witches or vampires yet and even some objects, EA have stepped it up greatly with this ep!

Thank you!!!

P.S. Broom Vacum sounds like fun...

Thank you for sharing. =)

Gosh I was excited about rocking chairs being in game but rocking horses?! OMG so cute! <3

I guessed right on the wolfsbane being in game...

"Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright" (from the 1941 classic The Wolfman)

NOW I have PEPS. I am glad though because this comes out before the new WoW expansion which I also am super anxious for so I can play this while I wait for that! (Now if only Amazon would get on with shipping my Kingdom Hearts game )
