Lucky Palms - The Wishing Well!
ОТПРАВЛЕНО 27.06.12
The post you have all been waiting for. More on the wishing well! One of our favorite premium items, the wishing well is a highlight of Lucky Palms! Want to find out more about what it does? Read on!

The wishing well is at the heart of Lucky Palms history! 

Armed with an ancient treasure map, three brothers made their way across the desert and found the fabled well of wishes! The first brother wished for wealth and he was showered with gold. The second brother wished for power and when he returned home he was appointed the mayor of his town. The third brother wished for love, met the girl of his dreams, started a family, and founded a town near the well that survives to this day.

Here’s how it works!

GAMEPLAY:
  • Wish for Love, Wealth, Power, Happiness, or even a Child!
  • Make sure to dip your fishing hook in the Well – you’ll catch some amazing fish regardless of your Fishing Skill level!
  • If you have the Tree of Prosperity on your lot, pixies and fireflies in the Well become very active in the evening!
  • If you have The Sims 3 Pets installed, the Child you wish for may not be what you expect.
  • If you’ve got sticky fingers, you can steal coins from the Well. You may get wet, or you may get lucky.
  • Slot Machine Includes additional functionality when the Wishing Well is installed in your game: Use a Lucky Coin that you steal from the Wishing Well to play for Lucky Coin stakes (equivalent to §1500 Buy-In) to increase your odds of hitting a big jackpot!

There is nothing more awkward than having a roommate that you didn’t ask for and don’t really want around and there are several families in Lucky Palms who know that all too well. 

Roomies

Ezekiel inherited his father's home back when there was still a lake in the lake bed. Unfortunately for him, when the water vanished the real estate's value did too. Unable to sell and too poor to leave he found a paying roommate in military cadet Pansy Northrop. Can this unlikely twosome cohabitate in peace, or will their differing personalities lead to conflict?

Three is a Crowd

Young lovers Vivienne and Oscar relocated after Viv was offered her dream job at the local science lab. Oscar's best friend Clark tagged along, but, unable to find work, ended up crashing permanently on their couch. Can this young romance survive their unexpected house guest?

Claremont Family

When Morgan took a new job in a new town he had no idea that his mother-in-law would be tagging along! What was supposed to be a "short visit" when their first child was born has turned into an extended stay. Will true love triumph over a meddlesome mother-in-law?
When you have roommates the most important room of the house is your bedroom! It’s your own private sanctum; the place where you can go to escape the noise, mess, and other annoying qualities of your roommate. To help your Sims cope we’re putting a few of our bedroom sets on sale!
