There’s some spooky goings around the Sims, specifically in the town of Moonlight Falls. The latest expansion pack for The Sims 3 allows you to create witches, werewolves and fairies, amongst other supernatural beings. As usual, new options means new actions, powers, traits and items along the same theme. You can hunt down the different ingredients needed to create potions, cast spells and put hexes on people. Vampires make a return, and can be created from the very beginning of the game, so you can create your own family of the undead. Zombies, meanwhile, are a troublesome bunch, damaging your property and generally making a nuisance of themselves, as zombies often do. If you prefer, you can be a werewolf, and simply hunt people. But be warned, that comes with its own limitations. As is tradition, the werewolf’s abilities are at the mercy of the lunar cycle, and once that kicks in, your character will down tools and go hunt. It’s fun to turn your friends and family, although they don’t really appreciate the bite. Supernatural gives The Sims 3 a new lease of life (or death).
