Caspin Gets Lucky (Palms!)
Hello everyone!

I treated myself to the new world Lucky Palms and sent my sim in to check it out. She's been having a fine time exploring the place. She's living in the poorer part of town, where the houses are converted community lots. It's quite interesting. Fortunately she's working in the science institute, which is nearby, but everything else is far away. "Trusty scooter, take me to the bistro!"

Actually, not sure Scoot is the best choice here - don't want to get too much sand in the engine!

There are lots of creatures about the place, little birds and snakes and butterflies. I felt compelled to collect them up to sell, can't quite shake off the Rags to Riches challenge at the moment.

The new plants are lovely. I wanted cacti for some Canary Islands style houses I'm working on, and lo! here they are! They are more detailed than some of the other plants. I wish my cactus flowered this much in RL.

There are some lovely parks. I really liked these fountains. Lucky Palms has got to be a hot place and these cooled my sim right down.

I put the casino into the town and went to visit. In hindsight the casino was a waste of money, I should have made my own, but it's there now. Caspin won a little bit of money by counting cards (I would actually fail at this, I'm too easily distracted!). The robot thing looks quite creepy, I think, maybe because he is wedged into the table!

The slot machines were less time consuming but it took a while to make some money. Eventually she hit the jackpot!

The wishing well is good fun. I went fishing there (no bait) and caught loads of fancy fish, including a deathfish. Happily I already had some life fruit in my inventory so I was able to make Ambrosia. I think that's only the second time I've made Ambrosia for a sim. Naturally I made some wishes and was granted power (a little bit), happiness (lots) and wealth (not so much). I wished for love and Mr Frog jumped out of the fountain. For some reason this caused Caspin to change into a bathing suit. I had no choice about what happened next.

Omg Bleurgh!

In some ways I was relieved that this failed! I'll find my own Prince Charming for Caspin thanks, EA!
