The title of this blog post is a little bit misleading. It should probably be called "Interesting Facts Which Will Only Interest Othilia And Tian". For the rest of you guys, have a song in Simlish as an apology for this extremely geeky post.

Yes it really is Eliza Doolittle singing and no, there's nothing wrong with your ears - the words are supposed to sound like that. Also if you think that's weird, you guys should check out Jason Derulo's version of "Don't Wanna Go Home" which he recorded in Simlish for the Showtime expansion. Click here for that.

In my spare time (which is basically every waking moment of these last few days), I've been playing Sims 3 Supernatural, which is basically the newest expansion of The Sims 3 franchise - at least until Seasons comes out in about a week's time. This new expansion came with a pre-made neighbourhood named "Moonlight Falls" designed by the EA team filled with pre-made Sim families and locations. One of these families look like this:
This family is also accompanied by the description:
Dude, they even nailed the facial expression.
This family is also accompanied by the description:
New to Moonlight Falls, Chester Swain came in the hopes of providing a better life for his daughter Bailey, who he’s raised alone. She’s his whole world, and he loves her very much even if he can be a little overprotective. Despite the time they spend together, Chester is somehow unaware of Bailey’s fanatical obsession with the supernatural. Can Chester find a way to protect his daughter from her own curiosity?
If that isn't enough, "Chester Swain's" occupation is a cop. Is this starting to sound familiar? If not, then here are a few extra facts about the Supernatural expansion I got from my experiences as well discussion forums on the internet:
- Bailey Swain's traits include: Clumsy, Loner, Bookworm and Supernatural Fan
- There is a baseball field in Moonlight Falls
- There is a beach called "La Shove" (La Shove... La Push....)
- There is a book you can purchase in the bookstore called "Breaking Wind"
- There is a new Romantic interaction called "Confessing to Watching You Sleep" which, when used, gives the other sim a "disturbed" or "creeped out" moodlet. LOL
- There is a vampire sunscreen lifetime reward for vampires that makes them "sparkle" when applied.
- There is an achievement called "Swan Dive" where you have to have a human female sim date a vampire, break up with him, make out with a werewolf, break up with him, and marry a vampire.
- And most obvious of all: in one of the vampire families of the town, there is a teenage vampire who has the following traits: Brooding, Romantic, Virtuoso and Vegetarian.
Here are a few other humorous things I discovered whilst playing the game/reading forums. I'll describe them for you and you guys can try to guess the reference. Answers located at the bottom of this post:
- There is a female sim who was raised by her late grandmother and who recently learned she came from a long line of fairies. She's blond and wears a blue dress. Oh and she works at "Sam's Market Diner". Traits include: supernatural fan, flirty, insane, unlucky and frugal.
- There is a household called the "Roommates Household" consisting of a ghost, a werewolf and a vampire.
- Moonlight Falls sounds somewhat similar to Mystic Falls... although this one might be pushing the envelope a little bit.
- There is a household of three sisters who are witches.
- According to some people, there is a new Ancestral Wardrobe object which your sim can walk into and apparently, they end up in some magical land.
- There is an NPC running round the neighbourhood called Oberon Summerdream.
- There is a lifetime reward called "The Philosopher's Stone"
- Oh and guess what? You can now travel via phone box... They call it the "LLAMA" system for some reason.
Answers:
- Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood
- Being Human
- The Vampire Diaries
- Charmed
- The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe
- Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream"
- Harry Potter (Can't have witches and magic without a HP reference)
- Doctor Who maybe? That does look like a TARDIS to you guys right?
Hehe. Props to EA for for such skilful incorporations of pop culture references into their game. What I love most about the Sims isn't actually the gameplay, believe it or not. The best thing about these games is the humour - you never know what you might find out or what weird-ass interactions may end up popping up in the game. Anyways, I hope that was interesting for you guys. If not then I apologize for being such a geek LOL. I can't help it.
