THOGGUS REIGNS
heya all just want to let everyone know Im working on a lovecraftian mod... here are the current plans
I have always loved the mystery of hp lovecraft's works but I find that current iterations of lovecraftian culture is less mystery and more gore, this mod will bring back the mystery and cult like activities without all the sacrificing people ect, it will in other words be drastically toned down to fit the sims ethos. This mod will offer ways to gain new powers, this mod will contain no resource for magic or mana but instead will rely on a devotion motive, if your devotion to the elder gods should be lacking your sim will be plagued with haunting visions (Ill try and make these appear in game) with associated negative buffs the less devotion they have then the less powers they will be able to use, the difference is the devotion motive will decay over time instead of decaying when your sim uses their powers. completing rites and praying at the altar will improve your devotion to the elder gods, be warned however every action that deals with the old gods will have a small chance to drive your sim insane especially if you don't do the proper protective rites and meditations.
====The pantheon of the lovecraftian mod====
Thoggus the dark emperor of the sea - Main god replaces cthulhu primary giver of magic powers
The deep ones - These guys are like a lesser pantheon of gods that serve Thoggus
Spawn of Deep - just a bunch of servants for the deep ones
The enlightened - Cultists that went through a transformation to make them closer in resemblance to the deep ones
Cultists - bunch of morons if you ask me, serving them elder gods, how crazy is that!!!
====objects in the mod====
I'm hoping to extract the mesh of the thoggus statue from sims 3, sims will become dizzy around it, initiated cultist sims can pray to increase devotion or make an offering of fish to start on the path to receiving new powers
Altar of The deep ones after offering your fish to thoggus and meditating on thoggus' words sleep at the altar to receive a vision quest (random one goal situation that when fulfilled you will gain a power) alternatively sleep at the altar without meditating for a chance to gain the insane trait.
Some cthulhuesque paintings that will make your uninitiated sims tense
====conclusion====
I struggled to find a way to add combat into the adventure mod and failed due to the fact that the only combat I could do would be completely automated, that was a blow and made me shelve the adventure mod for now, After which I searched for a fun project to occupy my time, originally I decided to dedicate all my free time to learning scripting but quickly realized you cant rush learn it and have to take time so I'm hoping this project will fill the gap when I'm not learning scripting. If your interested in this mod please let me know if you think its a dumb idea let me know as well I'm eager to hear your guys opinions and ideas on this project. if you would like to join the project please let me know but please have something to bring to the table skill wise. Thank you
