Alchemy Artisan – When chefs combine ingredient, they make something tasty. When an Alchemy Artisan mixes ingredients, they rewrite the rules of human existence. Mastery of the Alchemy skill is not easy, but incredible powers await the dedicated. Only through constant practice, careful study, and the application of a wide variety of powerful elixirs will a Sim earn the title of Alchemy Artisan.

(Reach Level 10 Gardening Skill and Make 100 Plants Grow Using Bloom)
Leader of the Pack – Anyone can be in a pack but few Sims are capable of being Leader of the Pack. Being the alpha dog takes hard work, discipline, and a nose for fine treasures.

It is not for the faint of heart to take the journey to become Leader of the Pack.

(Reach Level 10 of the Fortune Telling Career – Mystic Branch)

Not many are up to the task of being a Mystic Healer, but for those who are they can feel good inside for doing so.
(Cure 12 Different Transformed Sims Using Sunlight Charm or Potent Cure Elixir)
Turn the Town – Some vampires believe that the measure of a vampire's greatness can be seen in their number of conquests. Rest during the day so the long nights can be spent quenching the thirst for a plasma and converting those you find worthy. There will be many challenges to face in order to Turn the Town, but the reward will be worth it when you leave a bite in town lore.

Supernatural beings are what make this game unique. There are a number of ways to create these new magical Sims, and a variety of ways to play with them. Just like human Sims, Supernaturals are able to interact with other Sims, and even excel in any of the game provided careers. The easiest way to create Werewolves, Fairies, Witches, Vampires, Ghosts & Genies, is to create them right from Create a Sim.
Creating a Sim in CAS has become much more interesting. Why create a plain ol' Sim, when you can create an amazing Supernatural and play as them instead? Well, to each their own of course, but there is a whole new way for everyone to enjoy the game.
Supernatural has added a brand new "Supernatural Type" feature in basics. Create any supernatural you want from scratch. Human is one of the options, and you can revert a Sim back in CAS at any time. Some Supernaturals have options specific to their being, but many of the new options are universal. Details on the Supernatural CAS creation is explained in more detail in their respective sections.
❗ You can create Supernaturals of all ages in Create A Sim. Yes. Even Toddlers!
❗ You must have The Sims 3 Showtime expansion installed to create Genies in CAS
❗ Zombies cannot be created in CAS, but there are other ways to become one
❗ Click on the name tabs below for information on each supernatural ❗
Werewolves are a very powerful and social creature. They maintain basic needs just like humans, but there are brand new interactions available when playing with werewolves. With time and practice, these supernatural beings will advance in their Hidden Lycanthropy Skill.
There are four ways to become a Werewolf in Supernatural.
♦ Once you have reached Level 8 of the Alchemy Skill, you can create the "Bottled Curse of the Lycan" at the Alchemy Station.
♦ You can befriend werewolves around town and "Ask them to give you the Werewolf Curse".
♦ Check the Alchemy Consignment Shop daily for a chance to purchase the Bottled Curse of the Lycan.
♦ Create a Werewolf in Create A Sim
When creating a Sim in CAS, you can customize the looks of their human state, and their transformed state. The only major feature of their non transformed state, is their glowy eyes. Click the "Transform" button above their icon and begin customizing your werewolf in their natural form.
When being inappropriate to other Sims, they might whack you over the head!
Werewolves eat almost every raw meat available. Some stuff is just too strange!
Werewolves can also be scolded for acting inappropriately!
While performing all these lycan actions, werewolves are also leveling up their Hidden Lycanthropy Skill. Leveling up in this skill unlocks new interactions and benefits.
Become a master at gathering collectibles around town, frighten Sims with a terrifying howl, and even control when and where you Transform. There are a total of 10 Lycanthropy Skill Levels .
♦ Levels 1 to 2 – Werewolves can now successfully hunt for collectibles around town
♦ Levels 3 to 5 – Werewolves can now approach unsuspecting Sims and use the "Cursed Bite" to turn other Sims into Werewolves. Pick and choose your hunting pals!
♦ Levels 6 to 7 – Werewolves can now "Hunt For" specific collectibles (Metals, Gems or Insects)
♦ Levels 8 to 9 – Werewolves can now control when and where they transform.
♦ Level 10 – Once a werewolf has reached level 10 of the lycanthropy skill, they are the best of their kind.
Now that your Sim has reached full potential, hopefully you have enough LTH points to purchase the Werewolf exclusive Reward, Alpha Dog. With the Alpha Dog Lifetime Reward, Cursed bites will never be denied and a new "Terrorizing Howl" is added to the werewolf.
♦ Hunting In Packs – Any werewolf friends that you have can ask you to join your pack, and you can also ask them. Once you are in a pack with werewolves, you can hunt around town for collectibles and special objects. If you have the Leader of The Pack LTW and find 40,000 simoleons worth of objects when hunting with your pack, you will complete this wish. When it's time to go home, simply "disband: the pack.
Don't think that you're stuck being a Supernatural forever. If at any time you want to rid your supernatural being, purchase or create the Level 7 Potent Cure Elixir. When used on self, or thrown onto the supernatural Sim, any and all supernatural forms will be cured. Phew!
Fairies are a very elegant and tricky creature. They maintain basic needs just like humans, but there are brand new interactions available when playing with fairies. With time and practice, these supernatural beings will advance in their Hidden Fairy Magic Skill.
There are four ways to become a Fairy in Supernatural.

There are plenty of new clothing options for you to dress your Fairies in, and more importantly, there are Fairy inspired pieces to use. Once you have finished customizing your Fairy, it's time to play!
Fairies are natural born tricksters and already have the Green Thumb trait by nature. They move at an increased rate as they fly around, and come already equipped with the Aura of Soothing and a few tricks.
As these tricksters play with magic, they will begin to deplete their magic power.
The fastest way to recharge magic is by drinking Pollen Punch & relaxing in a Fairy House!
Failed Chattering Teeth Trick
Playing as a fairy and practicing tricks on other Sims, will eventually increase the hidden fairy magic skill. There are a total of 10 Fairy Magic Levels, each level giving new options to a fairy. Fairies come already prepared with some Supernatural powers, so as they start off with level zero magic, they have a few things to practice with!
♦ Hot Headed Trick – Dust a Sim with Red Hot Sprinkles that make their head blow smoke, and mouth blow fire
♦ Bestow Flight of Felicity – Sprinkle Sims with the magic fairy dust that lets you fly! Sims will get a mood boost and the ability to fly like a fairy. (Temporary)

♦ Bloom – The Bloom interaction gives Fairies the ability to instantly grow any plant or tree. If your fairy reaches level 10 of the gardening skill & Blooms 100 Plants, they will be able to complete the Greener Gardens Lifetime Wish. This interaction is also useful for growing plants needed in the Alchemy Skill.
❗ Warning: If you are performing this spell without much experience, it has the potential to backfire and leave you with Bad to Putrid Quality produce.
♦ Skivvies – This trick embarrasses a Sim by automatically changing them to their underpants.
♦ Gold & Toads – This trick gives a Sim a 6 hour mood decrease. During this time they will throw up Fairy Gold, or slimy Toads!

♦ Fairy Trap the LLAMA – Sims who use the LLAMA to transport around town will be sent to the wrong location.
♦ Inner Beauty – Fairies can use this trick on Sims who they think need to learn a thing or two about inner beauty. This trick will transform a Sim into an ugly version of themselves for 24 hours. If a Fairy reaches level 10 in the Charisma skill and performs the Inner Beauty Trick 12 times, they will complete the Magic Makeover Lifetime Wish.
❗ Warning: If the Sim who receives an Inner Beauty spell uses any mean interactions, their Inner Beauty timer will be reset back to one day!

Once you customize your Witch, head into the game to explore your new powers! If you check the interface of the game, you will see a magic strip under your Sim's avatar. This bar displays how much magic your Sim has left.
Once the magic has been used up, your witch will need to wait for a recharge before attempting to practice magic again. Low magic bars result in failed spells!
❗ Owning a Cat or Rodent (and having them nearby), will allow a witch to only use up half the magic energy needed to perform a spell. Familiars also help boost the spellcasting skill quicker.
The fastest way to recharge magic is to drink the Essence of Magic elixir or ride a broom!
The failed Haunting Curse can result in death!
Spellcasting is a major part of being a witch. As a witch practices their magic, they increase their hidden spellcasting skill. There are total of 10 spellcasting skills, each giving new spells, curses and options to the witch.

Any two witches that try for a baby will always have a witch's baby born into the family. If a witch tries for a baby with another Supernatural or human Sim, the chances are 50/50. If you do not have a supernatural child, you can always turn them into a witch with the Bottled Witches' Brew.
Toddlers cannot do anything as a witch except use their hidden power to make toys disappear, but once the child becomes a teen, they can grasp their supernatural self. Teens are limited to what spells they can/cannot perform, but once they become an adult, they will acquire full powers.
Don't think that you're stuck being a Supernatural forever. If at any time you want to rid your supernatural being, purchase or create the Level 7 Potent Cure Elixir. When used on self, or thrown onto the supernatural Sim, any and all supernatural forms will be cured. Phew!
❗ Vampires were first introduced to the game with the Late Night expansion, and are also included in Supernatural. The Sims 3 Supernatural adds a few new interactions and options, but the overall game play remains the same.
There are five ways to create a Vampire in Supernatural.
♦ Once you have reached Level 7 of the Alchemy Skill, you can create the "Bottled Vampire's Bite" at the Alchemy Station.
♦ Check the Alchemy Consignment Shop daily for a chance to purchase the Bottled Vampire's Bite.
♦ Befriend a Vampire and "Ask to be turned"
♦ Befriend a Sim and "Offer to Turn"
♦ Create a Vampire in Create a Sim
When creating a Vampire in CAS, the first visible difference to a human Sim are their glowing eyes. You can then further customize their fangs & neck tattoos – or remove them all together -, and also use the newest skin sliders to create the ultimate pale white Vamp.
Vampires are creatures of the night for a reason. Sunlight not only makes them weak and ill, it can also burden them with a 2 day "Too Much Sun" moodlet that can only be cured by staying indoors.
To make sure that your Vampires are never burdened by the Sun's effects, you can purchase the special "Immortal" (Permanent) Lifetime Reward for Vampires, or have your Sim create the level 3 Alchemy potion "Vampiric Sunscreen (Temporary)".
❗ The Vampiric Sunscreen & Immortal Lifetime Reward make your Vampire sparkle
Vampires are the one creature that have a special type of food to eat. Plasma! Whether they fulfill their hunger by drinking plasma from a Sim or drinking plasma orange juice, their hunger will be satisfied.
Drinking from a Sim will not always be successful, but you can purchase the Immortal Lifetime Wish to grant you the ability to drink and never be turned down. Vampires will drink plasma from a Sim's neck or arm, and when drinking Fairy Plasma, the Vampire will receive a special moodlet!
❗ With Late Night, Vampires can purchase, plant and eat plasma fruit.
❗ Vampires can Die of Thirst, so be sure they drink enough plasma!
If there's one thing Vampires can do the quickest, it's learn skills. At night, vampires receive a special "Vampiric Vigor" moodlet, that gives them a boost in skill learning. Not only do they learn skills and do homework quicker, they also never get fatigued when exercising. This is an excellent ability!
Turning a Sim is the fastest way to make sure your vampiric powers are spread to another Sim. Once a Sim has accepted your invitation to the dark side, your bite gives them the "Unusual Blemish" moodlet. After a few days, the bitten Sim will "Complete Metamorphosis" and turn into a full blown Vampire.
Turning Sims around town will help complete the "Turn the Town" Lifetime Wish!
Any two vampires that try for a baby will always have a vampiric baby born into the family. If a vampire tries for a baby with another Supernatural or human Sim, the chances are 50/50. If you do not have a supernatural child, you can always turn them into a vampire with the Bottled Vampire's Bite when they become a young adult.
Vampiric Toddlers, Children & Teens benefit from speedy skill & homework boosts, but once the teen becomes a young adult, they can grasp their full supernatural powers.
If at any time you want to rid your supernatural being, purchase or create the Level 7 Potent Cure Elixir. When used on self, or thrown onto the supernatural Sim, any and all supernatural forms will be cured. Phew!
♦ Once you have reached Level 3 of the Alchemy Skill, you can create the "Zombification" at the Alchemy Station. (Temporary)

♦ Check the Alchemy Consignment Shop daily for a chance to purchase either of the Zombification elixirs
♦ Be bitten by a stray (rare) or active household Zombie
♦ As a Witch, successfully use the Reanimation Ritual to bring back any Sim remains to life as a non-controllable Zombie (Permanent)
♦ As a Witch, fail the Reanimation Ritual, and receive the two day Zombification
Although there are plenty of ways to become a Zombie, you are not able to create one in CAS. Zombies are creatures that can be found around town at any given time, but prepare yourself for a Zombie Apocalypse during a Full Moon. During the lunar cycle's stop as a full moon, Zombies will appear all around town as they emerge from the ground! There is no stopping them!
❗ Add a Mood Lamp or Radio to your Lot and distract those Zombies! Zombies are drawn into the light of a mood lamp, and also love dancing the smustle!
❗ Warning: Zombies that spawn in your town will be attracted to your gardens autonomously. Make sure to build a fence (with a lock!) around your garden, or the zombies will completely devour your prized plants! Another good defense is to place a Limited Edition Pea Shooter on your lot.
Even though the life state may add some temporary fun to your game, you do not need to wait until the curse wears off to cure a Zombie. There are a total of five ways to cure and remove Zombies from the game; Some Permanent.
If at any time you want to rid your supernatural being, purchase or create the Level 7 Potent Cure Elixir. When used on self, or thrown onto the supernatural Sim, any and all supernatural forms will be cured. Phew!
If you purchased the Limited Edition of Supernatural, you can use one of the "Bonus Pea Shooter objects" in buy mode and place it on your lot. There will be an interaction to choose on the pea shooter ("Attack Zombie…") and the shooter will automatically start shooting at the Zombie. After a few hits, the Zombie will fall to the ground and be cured of this curse.
❗ There is a 95% chance of curing NPC Zombification, and a 5% chance the Zombie will eat the pea shooter.
Once a witch reaches level 8 of their hidden spellcasting skill, they are able to perform the "Sunlight Charm" on Sims. This charm instantly cures Zombification.
Since Zombies automatically spawn in your town during a full moon, the most effective way to make sure they never spawn again is to set your Lunar Cycle to one specific moon phase. Eliminating the Full Moon all together will take care of the Zombie Apocalypse, but you will lose out on other Full Moon wishes & activities.
Ghosts have been a part of the Sims 3 since the start, with each additional expansion adding a new type of death ghost. Until Supernatural, adding a controllable ghost to your household has been hard. Supernatural has changed this, making it much easier to play as these spooky beings!
There are three ways to play with a controllable Ghost in Supernatural.
♦ Accept and complete the "Oh My Ghost" opportunity.
♦ Try for a baby with a ghost.
♦ Create a Ghost in Create A Sim
When creating a Ghost in CAS, you have the ability to pick and choose from 12 different death types. There is a new "Ghost Basics" tab to select – similar to the one for Fairies – that allows you to choose which ghost you want to create.
❗ Create Ghost Sims of all ages! Even Toddlers!
The Twelve Ghost types that you can create in CAS are:
♦ Old Age
♦ Drowning
♦ Starvation
♦ Electrocution
♦ Burn to Death
♦ Mummy's Curse
♦ Meteor
♦ Watery Grave
♦ Human Statue
♦ Transmuted
♦ Haunting Curse
♦ Jelly Bean Death
Any two ghosts that try for a baby will always have a ghost baby born into the family. If you try for a baby with two different ghost types, chances are 50/50. If a ghost tries for a baby with a human Sim, the chances are 50/50. If you do not have a ghost child, try again!
Don't think that you're stuck being a Ghost forever. If at any time you want to rid your ghostly being, have the ghost eat the Ambrosia meal. When consumed, a ghost will turn into their human self. Phew!
❗ These creatures are only available if you have the Sims 3 Showtime expansion installed
There are a total of Seven ways to create Genies with Supernatural Installed:
♦ Genie Lamp may be given to you as a gift for a Legendary Performance
♦ There is a chance you can return with a Genie Lamp if you enter the Dimensional Gate on the PlasmaPunch Gyroscopic Conductor.
♦ Exploring The Catacombs and returning with a Genie Lamp.
♦ Dusty Old Lamp Lifetime Happiness Reward
♦ Once you have reached Level 9 of the Alchemy Skill, you can create the "Vial of Bottled Genie" at the Alchemy Station.
♦ Check the Alchemy Consignment Shop daily for a chance to purchase the Vial of Bottled Genie.
♦ Create a Genie in CAS
When created in CAS (or via Elixir), the Genie will only have the powers of a one that has been freed from their lamp. They do not grant wishes, but they can Ensorcel Non household members, Banish Sims, Magically Clean Sims/Home, & SummonFood of any type in perfect quality. Genies have a longer life span than regular human Sims.
An added bonus with Supernatural is unlocked Genie Clothing for all Sims!
This section details everything you need to know about the Genie. Information is provided via our Sims 3 Showtime Guide. There are plenty of fun ways to play with Genies when they come in the form of a Genie Lamp!
The easiest way to get the Genie Lamp, is to save on 30,000 Lifetime Happiness Points and purchase it directly through the LHR panel. Once you have purchased it, it will be placed into your Sim's inventory.
Head on over to the cemetery in your town after midnight, and Explore the Catacombs! The chances of coming back with the Genie Lamp are extremely rare, but it is possible if your Sim is lucky! The Cemetery in Starlight Shores offers a better than rare chance of giving your Sim the Genie Lamp.
When your Sim reaches level 10 of the Handiness skill, they can upgrade the PlasmaPunch Gyroscopic Conductor, to add the "Dimensional Gate". The Dimensional Gate is exactly the same as "exploring the catacombs" in the cemetery.
During the time your Sim is inside the Dimensional Gate, a number of pop ups will appear allowing you to choose your Sim's Adventures. Sims will return with many different items from these adventures, but there is only a rare chance in finding and bringing back the Genie Lamp.
As your Sim's progress in any of the new performance careers, the more likely they are to perform a "Legendary Performance" while on stage. There are a number of admirers that will attend your Concerts, but one of those admirers will offer your Sim a unique gift, which can be retrieved through your home mailbox.
Whichever way you have chosen to get your very own Genie Lamp, you are now able to Summon the Genie from it's lamp. Genie's offer a variety of wishes for you to choose from, but you only get 3 wishes, so choose wisely.
Once a Genie Lamp is present in a household, it can be used by any member of the home. Genie Lamps are not owner specific, but if you worked hard to get it, make sure no one else uses your wishes!
Genies need to rest after every wish, so you are only allowed one wish every 12 hours. There are a total of 11 wishes for you to choose from, with the 11th wish available to Sims with the Evil Trait.
❗ Sims can interact with Genie's in the same manner they can other Sims. You can take your Genie out for night in town, be romantic with them, or make them your best friend.
♦ Beauty – This wish increases a Sim's chance of flirting, being kissed, loved etc. This wish beautifies your Sim permanently, giving them a better chance to execute Romantic Interactions successfully. (Cannot be wished for twice)
♦ Fortune – Need some extra cash? This wish adds a whopping 100,000 Simoleons to your household fund.
♦ Free The Genie – In order to complete this wish, you must have a very high relationship with the Genie. Freeing the Genie from it's lamp will make it a member of the household. You will need to complete a number of steps to successfully free the Genie. (Explained Below)
♦ Happiness – The Happiness wish gives a Sim the Eternal Joy moodlet (+25) permanently. (Cannot be wished for twice)
♦ Large Family – The Large Family wish, gives a Sim the Feeling Fertile moodlet. This moodlet will last until the Sim Tries for a baby. The attempt for baby will result in triplets every time.
♦ Long Life – This wish extends your Sim's lifespan by 30 days, serving as a "Young Again" potion, or Ambrosia type wish. (Cannot be wished for twice)
♦ Love – This wish will allow you to choose any Sim in your relationship panel, and make them fall in love with you instantly! Sims will also be given the Enchanted Love moodlet (+10) for 24 hours.
♦ More Wishes – Your Sims can try wishing for extra wishes, but there is only a very rare chance the Genie will grant you two extra's!
♦ Resurrect Sim – If you have any Sim remains on your lot, you will be able to wish that the Genie bring them back to life, resulting in a Resurrected Sim added to the household.
♦ World Misery (Evil Trait Required) – Finally, the world is as miserable as you are! Your Sim will receive the Miserable (+25) moodlet for two whole days. (Cannot be wished for twice)
♦ World Peace – The birds are chirping, the sun is shining, and the world feels just a peaceful as you! Your Sim will receive the Peaceful (+25) moodlet for two whole days. (Cannot be wished for twice)
When choosing your wishes, one of the wishes is to Free The Genie from it's lamp. If complete the following steps, you will be able to free the Genie and make it a controllable member of your household. Once you select this wish, you will be greeted with an opportunity to complete.
Step One – Freeze The Lamp – Click the refrigerator in your home and select "Freeze The Lamp".
Step Two – Heat The Lamp – Click the oven in your home and select "Heat Lamp".
Step Three – Explore Catacombs w/Lamp – Go to your local cemetery, click the Mausoleum and select "Take the Lamp Underground"
Step Four – Free the Genie – Summon the Genie from it's lamp in your inventory, and watch it set free from the chains!
❗ Once a Genie is set free, they can no longer grant wishes
The Genie is now a member of your household, and has the same needs as all other Sims. Along with the new found freedom, your Genie can now Ensorcel Non household member Sims, Banish Sims, Magically Clean Sims/Home, & SummonFood of any type in perfect quality.
Genies can Ensorcel Sims that are not part of your household. Ensorcelling a Sim adds then to your Household for four hours, and removes all autonomy from the Sim. Do as you please with this Sim, but after four hours, he/she will return back to his normal life.
❗ A genie can release a Sim from Ensorcellment at any time.
Once your Genie is freed from the lamp, your Sims can now "Try for baby" with a Genie. There is a 50/50 chance of your Babies being born with Powers. The powers a born genie will have are the same as their parent. They will not be able to grant wishes, but they do have the full powers of any freed from the lamp Genie.
Genie offspring also carry on their genes, and have the opportunity to pass on their powers to their children later in life.
❗ Genie Offspring can begin using their powers as a Child.
Don't think that you're stuck being a Supernatural forever. If at any time you want to rid your supernatural being, purchase or create the Level 7 Potent Cure Elixir. When used on self, or thrown onto the supernatural Sim, any and all supernatural forms will be cured. Phew!
Moonlight Falls is the foggy and mystical new town included with Supernatural. This section of the guide goes into detail on the new lots, objects and collectibles added to the game.
Moonlight falls comes with all new pre placed community lots. If you choose to play Supernatural in a different world, you will be prompted to add the new lot types. Adding the new lots right away is not required, so you can always go into Edit Town and add the new lot types.

The new magic gnomes introduced are called the "Gnome of The Darned". These gnomes come in 5 different ghost shades, and chances of getting this type of gnome is higher when your Sim fails a casting spell. Throughout the night these gnomes will change color and may even become haunted by a real ghost!
Bonehilda is an NPC maid that has made a return from The Sims Makin' Magic! Bonehilda is a live at home maid, who even comes with her own living quarters (you can find her in buy mode under Misc. Entertainment). Her services can be compared to those of a Butler from The Sims 3 Late Night.
Bonehilda will clean your home, cook dinner, take care of the kids and pets and even teach your pets some tricks! Typically, Bonehilda will automatically emerge from her coffin to tend to your home, but you can awaken and dismiss her at any time. To awaken Bonehilda, simply click her coffin.
Unfortunately Bonehilda cannot become a part of your active household or friendship panel. Bonehilda remains uncontrollable, but you can always take a moment of your time to chat with her. Who doesn't want to exchange words with a skeleton?
Supernatural includes interactive objects that add new game play options. Everything from Haunted Paintings to Beekeeping is included!
Ever though a lamp could change your mood in an instant? The spectrum mood lamp is not your typical lamp, that's for sure! Purchase the mood lamp and place it anywhere in your home for an instant mood boost, and magical change!
The following moods are available to the Spectrum Lamp:
♦ Blue Mood – The blue mood makes Sims feel exactly that. Blue. A slight decrease in mood occurs to Sims in the same room as the lamp. As an added effect, the blue lamp will sometimes release a puddle of water.
♦ Green Mood – The green mood applies a slight mood boost to any Sims in the room. If you are not a Supernatural being, there is a rare chance of becoming Toadified! Who says you need to be a witch to experience magic? Ribbit!
♦ Pink Mood – The pink mood adds a mood boost to any Sims in the room, and even makes them romantic! After being around a pink mood lamp, romantic relationships can flourish! Sims are more likely to autonomously flirt and be romantic with their partner. Woohoo anyone?
♦ Purple Mood – The purple mood is the best mood to be around. Had a bad day? Ate some Garlic? Be in the presence of the purple mood to rid any negative moodlets, and get a mood boost.
♦ Red Mood – The red mood give all Sims in the room the feeling red moodlet and lifts their mood.
♦ Yellow Mood – The yellow mood gives Sims a chance to be Silly! Feeling a bit childish today? Be in the presence of the yellow mood and be as silly as you'd like!
If you have Zombies that appear in your yard every once in a while, it would be a good idea to get one of the mood lamps. Not only do they provide these excellent mood boosts, but they all draw in Zombies! Why should they be eating your plants? Give them something shiny to stare at!
Fairies who are in the presence of mood lamps have an option to be drawn into the light. Fairies will shrink down into their natural form and play around inside the lamp. Be careful though, there's a chance of electrocution! You wouldn't want to walk around singed right?
The Rocking Chair is a brand new way to comfortably enjoy some quality time. Besides the typical rocking back and forth, Sims can also Nap, Read Books and Rock with infants and toddlers.
A new Arcade Game has been added with Supernatural that lets Sims have fun bashing heads! Literally! Whack a Gnome includes 5 amazing heads to bash. Vampires, Witches, Werewolves, Fairies & Gnomes! Which will you choose?
Want a chance to win some special prizes? how about a few simoleons? Then the Claaaw is the right game for you! Use the claw to win a ton of cool prizes. Everything from basic toys, to the special Gnome of the Darned! Go on. Take a chance!
❗ Fairies have an additional option when using the Claaaw. They can cheat the system by shrinking down to their natural form and picking their own prize.
The miniature train set is a mini version of The Sims 3 Base Game's World Sunset Valley! Sims can turn on the train to enjoy a small mood boost, while the train set comes to life.
❗ Fairies have an additional option when using the train set. They can ride the train by shrinking down to their natural form and hopping aboard!
Do you want to harvest your own Honey to drink, or your own Beeswax for Alchemy Elixir's? Then Mrs. Stingley's Beekeeping Box is what to buy! Beekeeping a new hobby for Sims to enjoy.
To make sure that the bees are always happy and produce the best quality ingredients, make sure you Sim takes good care of them. Beekeeping is almost like a full time job. If you neglect the bees, they will become very ornery and upset! Cleaning, Smoking & Feeding the bees on a regular basis is the best way to assure they are happy.
❗ Beware of angry bees! Leaving your bees unattended and hungry will result in them stinging you the next time you enter the box! Ouch!
❗ Pregnant Sims Cannot use the Beekeeping box
The Rocking Rider is a brand new toy for Children to enjoy. Purchase it in Buy Mode under Children's furniture and add it to your home. Children will then have the choice to "Pet the Rocker", "Catch the Bandits" or "Rockin' Rodeo". Enjoy the ride!
Brooms are a brand new form of transportation added to the game. Not only are they as fast as teleporting, but they are available to all Sims! Purchase any of the four new magical brooms in buy mode under transportation.
❗ Note that you need to purchase a Broomstand for the broom
❗ Have Children in the house? Make sure to purchase the Junior Broom that is available for children!
Besides using a broom as a form of transportation to practice, purchasing a broom riding arena is the fastest way to increase the Hidden Broom riding Skill. Sims start off as Joy Riding amateurs, and soon turn into broom riding experts! Flip, turn, twist and shout! Once a Sim gains one skill level, they can begin "Stunt Riding".
With each new skill level gained while stunt riding, comes new stunts that Sims will perform. Once a Sim reaches Level 5 in Broom Riding, they can then "Stunt Ride For Tips" Not only does this let your Sim gain even more experience, but it brings in some extra cash.
What if you looked at a painting and saw two different scenes? Scared? Well you should be! Supernatural includes brand new Haunted Paintings that expose their true side during the night. You can find these paintings in buy mode under "Wall Paintings" and they will have a special purple border around them. There are a total of 11 haunted Paintings.
Need to know the which moon phase presides? Check. Want your horoscope told? Check! Even though you can check the moon phase through your Sim's UI, it is still cool looking to watch the moon in your home.
The Moon Dial also provides Seven horoscopes:
♦ Possibility of Betrayal
♦ Possibility of Great Success
♦ Possibility of Romance
♦ Possibility of Misfortune
♦ Possibility of New Friendship
♦ Possibility of Prosperity
These horoscopes last exactly 24 hours. Once a Sim asks for their horoscope, they will not get a new one until the next day. During this time, be alert for any fortune, misfortune and mood altering moodlets!
In a hurry to go somewhere? Purchase the Lightening Leap Atomic Molecular Arranger (aka: The LLAMA)! This advanced transportation network will get you from here to there and everywhere in between. Moonlight falls comes already equipped with these awesome LLAMA's, but you can quickly purchase them to add to any other town.
Do you have an important decision to make about your future? Not sure you can make the decision on your own? Then you need the Orb of Answers!
The Orb of Answers is a wish creating mechanism for your Sims. When a Sim asks one of 13 available questions, they will receive a yes, no, or try again later message. A Yes or No answer will result in a wish being created for that Sim. You can accept the wish, or right click to cancel.
Mirror Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? Your home is not complete until you purchase the Magic Mirror! The magic mirror looks just like a regular mirror, until you start interacting with it.
The following interactions are available with the Magic Mirror:
♦ Chat
♦ Ask About Day
♦ Admire Me
♦ Practice Being the Most Charismatic of Them All
♦ Gossip
♦ Conspire With Me Against My Enemies*
♦ Magical Makeover
♦ Change Appearance
*Requires at least one enemy for option to appear.
When getting a magical makeover, the mirror will automatically replace your current outfit with new snazzy looks. This is the best way to guarantee a great new look.
Another interaction that is available with the magic mirror, belongs to Evil and Mean Spirited Sims. Once you have made one enemy in game as an evil/mean Sim, ask the mirror to " Conspire Against My Enemies". When using this interaction, there is a good chance the mirror will hand you a poisoned apple to use on your enemies!
Secret passages and hidden dungeons? Done! Purchase the Sliding Bookcase Door in build mode, and create the most amazing hidden passages imaginable. The sliding bookcase door looks so much like a regular bookcase, Sims will never know what it is!
As an added bonus, The Sims 3 Supernatural has added a regular bookcase that matches the door!
The Gem-U-Cut Machine has just made gem cutting a whole lot easier. With the convenience of cutting gems at home, not only does your Sim save money, but they also save time. Who want to wait 3 days for the mail anyway? Sims must collect and cut 100 gems, to unlock 2 brand new cuts.
The following 3 Gem options have been added to the game:
♦ Moon Cut
♦ Sun Cut
♦ Gem Dust
Alchemy is the brand new skill available in Supernatural. To begin the long journey down the Elixir road, purchase Aleister's Alchemy Station in buy mode under Hobbies & Skills. Once you have the Alchemy Station, click it to "Research Alchemy".
By researching alchemy, you will begin to gain skill, learning new elixir mixes on the way. The first elixir you will learn and be able to mix is The Vial of Bliss. Don't think that because you gained a skill level everything will create itself just fine. Even the best of the best run into a backfire once in a while.
Potion Mix backfires result in loss of ingredients and the elixir itself
❗ Note that the Bottled Mummy Curse (WA), Bottled SimBot Converter (AMB) and Vial of Bottled Genie (SHT), require the associated expansions to be learned.
❗ It is required to collect all the ingredients needed for an elixir in order to create it.
❗ When a Sim reaches level 6 in the Alchemy skill, each elixir creation has a chance to produce 2-3 bottles at a time.
The Alchemy Recipe books will teach you the following elixirs:
♦ Procreation Elixir
♦ Liquid Job Booster
♦ Vial of Potent Enlightment
♦ Potent Personality Adjuster
♦ Fountain of Youth Elixir
♦ Origin of the Tragic Clown
Once you have learned to create every elixir there is to learn, you will have reached the highest alchemy level possible. So now what? Now that everything you could possibly need to know has been learned, get out into the world and pick yourself up the ingredients you need to create and use the elixirs.
❗ Scroll over the ingredient icon in your elixir journal to learn which ingredients you need.
❗ Sims who have the Gatherer Trait have a better chance of scooping up rare materials.
❗ Don't want to get dirty? Send your Pets and Werewolves to fetch collectibles!
You can also visit the Alchemy Consignment shop to pick up some ingredients
Once you have all the ingredients you need to create an elixir, head back to the alchemy station and brew it! Each elixir offers a variety of different effects and consequences. Sims can drink their bottled elixirs, or they can throw them at other Sims and let them worry about the side effects!
Alternatively if you do not wish to use your elixirs, you can leave them in your inventory, or proudly display them in one of two Elixir Display Cases.
These handy display cases store gems and metals too!
In order to create the best possible Alchemy Elixir List, SimsVIP has collaborated with Platinum Simmers to bring you the most detailed list possible.
Do you want to know how to gather the ingredients needed to make an elxir? You got it. Do you want a complete list of elixir's including their worth and side effects? You Got it! Click Below!
♦ Zombification – This is a level 3 elixir, needs Mandrake Root, any Mushroom and any Insect to be created, and gives the Sim who ingests it a two day Zombie moodlet. For two days Sims will experience pure zombification.
♦ Flask of Angry Bees – This is a level 2 elixir, requires Beeswax and Honey to be created, and gives the Sim who ingests it a 24 hour Bee Sting moodlet. For one day Sims will have a decreased mood and a sore bum!
❗ There are two career specific Lifetime Wishes for you to choose from in CAS. Master of Mysticism (Mystic Branch) & Celebrity Psychic (Scam Artist Branch)
❗ If you give your Sim the "Workaholic" trait, they can progress in this career right at home. No overtime pay though!
As you begin this career, finding and keeping stable relationships with clientele is important and helps you progress through the first 4 stages of this career. As you progress to Level 6 in your career, you will be given an option to choose your fortune telling career path. Will you focus on making money, or the strength of your mystic powers?
♦ The Mystic Branch of this career requires a good relationship with your clientele, and good knowledge of the Alchemy skill. Making sure you build your relationship with others is key for this branch. (Pay: §1,560 – §3,352 a week)
♦ The Scam Artist Branch of this career requires good knowledge of the Charisma & Logic skills. Since keeping great relationships with those you are going to scam in unlikely, clientele is not a requirement for progression of this branch. (Pay: §1,875 – §6,912 a week)
The following tones are available when working:
♦ Business as Usual – Business as usual means putting in an average amount of effort at work, and receiving an average amount of recognition for your work.
♦ Really Sell It – Sometimes you just need to give it the extra metaphysical mile. Your hard work will be noticed.
♦ Fake It – Time to take it easy. Be vague, throw in some planet names, drop something about romance in the workplace and boom! Done.
♦ Meet Clientele – Socialize a little. Take the time to get to know your clients.
♦ Group Readings – This is a fun and exciting way for professional fortune tellers to get together and waste a bunch of time.
♦ Learn from Mentor – The best way to ascend to the next level is to find someone who has already done it, then suck up to them.
♦ Peer Into the Unknown – Just try not to freak out when it peers back! This tone increases your Sim's Alchemy Skill.
Once you progress to level 2 of the career, you are given the title "Fortune Guesser". This level unlocks a new action when interacting with Sims: Perform Private Reading. This allows you to earn more simoleons for your guesswork, and boosts your relationship with potential clientele. This is also a very important factor in progressing within the Mystic Branch.
Talk to the hand!
No one gets a better discount!
The Magic Jelly Bean Bush has a variety of flavors to eat, but there's the one bean that could be a Sim's last! Sims who eat from the jelly bean bush run a chance of eating the Jelly Bean of Death. If they do, it's adios amigo!
Witches who are at Level 5 or higher of the (hidden) Spellcasting Skill, are able to attempt the Haunting Curse on Sims. Even if the witch is experienced, this curse has the potential to backfire real bad! If this curse backfires, the witch will die.
The Philosopher's Stone is an expensive and deadly reward! When transmuting objects into gold, a Sim risks the chance of turning into gold themselves! If the transmutation backfires, your Sim will turn to gold, and die. The Gold Statue of your Sim's expression at the time of death will remain an object for you to keep.
Death by Thirst was originally introduced with the Vampires of Late Night, however even without Late Night, Supernatural brings on this new death with its Vampires. Instead of dying of hunger, Vampires die of thirst and vanish into thin air.
Checking for monsters under the bed is a new interaction available for children. This option appears during the hours of 6pm to 6am.
This interaction can have one of two results:
♦ No Monsters – When a child checks for monsters and none appear, they will receive a "No Monsters" moodlet and a +15 mood boost.
♦ Monsters!! – When a child checks for monsters and they appear, they will receive the "Monsters & Terrified" moodlets with a -15 mood decrease. Not only will the child run frantically from the room, but they will not want to sleep or relax on that bed for at least two hours.
Use this brand new friendly interaction when socializing with Sims. This interaction will increase the fun and social needs. Also serves as a fun way to boost a relationship.
Are your Sims bored out of their mind and not sure what to do to pass time? Head on over to the bodies of water around town and Skip Stones! This interaction is available to all Sims Child through Elder, and raises the fun motive.

That is a privilege that I do enjoy, one that also discourages stepping outside of its bounds, since I would be relentlessly judged by my family if I did want to change my name. That's where the sexism comes in - the judgments and the reinforcement of a narrow set of gender-defined decisions, not the choices that we as individuals make.

Smutty Roundup: Madonna's tour, Nick in blue, and Robin Thicke is still gross
FameFlynet, Splash, Bennett Raglin/ Debra L Rothenberg/ Dave Kotinsky/ Robino Salvatore/ Getty Images
Madonna was in Milan yesterday to promote Rebel Heart in a red dress cinched at the waist with maybe not the most flattering shoes. And, to no one's surprise, there will be a tour. So far 35 cities have been announced. Click here for dates and locations. Full Story
Well at least she's older
Wenn, Anthony J. Causi/ Splash
After Christmas, Mimi probably feels like she has ownership of Valentine's Day. Because, you know, she dominates the colour red. Also teddy bears. This Valentine's Day however must have been a dark place. She might say it was "bleak". Who's sending her flowers? Who's serenading her from a white horse? Who's filling up her bathtub with champagne and gold flake soap? Not Nick Cannon. Full Story
Mimi in Vegas
Jacek and I used to go to Vegas at least once a year. It was much easier when we lived in Vancouver. Just a two hour flight. We'd stay long, by Vegas standards. Most people go to Vegas for 3 days, 4 tops. We'd stay 6 days and golf and gamble and eat. But even before we moved to Toronto I was kinda getting tired of it, probably because I don't have that much holiday time and I want to use it to see new places. Full Story
Happy New Year: Mimi's in ski pants!
Kevin Perkins /Pedro Andrade /Pacific Coast News, Splash News
Some of my favourite Mimi memories are when she's in ski pants. Sometimes when she wears ski pants, she's skiing. Sometimes when she wears ski pants, she's singing. I know it doesn't make sense. When does it ever make sense? Mimi's in Aspen, of course, and her kids have arrived and she took them skiing. Full Story
A lonely Christmas butterfly
Dunkin D /FAMEFLYNET PICTURES
Mimi had two dates for Christmas this year: Santa (as always, at this point she's practically Mrs Claus) and her credit card. As you know, as we all know, Mimi and Nick Cannon are over. As you know, as we all know, Mimi spends every Christmas in Aspen. What about the kids? I thought for sure she'd post some shots with the kids on social media but the only photos she put up were of her with Santa, naturally… With my friend Santa! I know him!! Lol ( #Elf Full Story
Christmas can begin!
AKM-GSI /Splash News, Dunkin D /FAMEFLYNET PICTURES
I told you the other day. It's not Christmas until Mimi is in Aspen tottering around on big heels and a skimpy snowsuit. This year, we got off to a late start because Mimi had to work SO HARD SO MUCH performing a series of Christmas concerts at the Beacon Theatre. But look! Our butterfly angel has arrived at her Christmas destination! Aspen is Mimi's North Pole. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
I've been worried about our rainbow butterfly sequin empress. I was worried that we hadn't seen her tottering around yet in Aspen, where she usually spends Christmas. And then I realised it's because she's been performing a series of shows at the Beacon Theatre – last night was the final. So I'm hoping by the end of the week, she'll turn up in Colorado in her pink low cut snowsuit with a thong bottom (if anyone can do it, Mimi can) and hover above the ice while 3 bodyguards prop her up, elegantly of course, by the arms.
What cracks me up most about the Beacon Theatre marquee is how is says "show starts at 8pm sharp". How much confidence did they have when they put that up there?
Mimi's shows at the Beacon have been mostly drama free. Read Full Intro
Dear Gossips,
3 hours.
That's Mariah Carey's average late time. I mean, at this point it should be a working understanding. So I'm not sure why NBC executives expected her to show up "on time" to pre-tape the tree lighting show on Tuesday night. Mimi doesn't wake up until 7pm so scheduling anything before midnight is pointless.
She claims it was "beyond my control" in a message posted on Twitter. And now we're being told that she was held back because she and Nick Cannon's people were arguing on the phone about custody and that even though he knew where she had to be, he still kept her on the phone. Right. And where do you think that information came from?
Since Tuesday got all f-cked up, Mimi had to sing live last night to officially kick off Christmas. Read Full Intro
Dear Gossips,
Did you know it's the 20th anniversary of Mariah Carey's Merry Christmas? What kind of a lamb am I that I totally forgot?
As you know, Christmas belongs to Mimi. Dean wrote about this a couple of years ago – 3 Rules For A Very Mimi Christmas. So if you're a bad lamb like me and you forgot to celebrate Mimi's milestone, don't worry. She's always good for a reminder. This is when she comes alive. Well, halfway.
Mimi released an audio message about Merry Christmas and her upcoming Christmas appearances yesterday. I've attached the voice note below. The sh-t quality voice note. This is what I've always loved about my Mimi. She claims to be top level. Read Full Intro
A hoarse butterfly
Mimi, our Elusive (but omnipresent) Chanteuse, kicked off her tour in Tokyo the other night. Mimi's been in the news a lot lately because she and Nick Cannon have separated. And she and Jermaine Dupri broke up too. And no one who isn't a lamb cared about her new album. So it was time for a good headline. Full Story
The Reinvention of Mimi: as a single mother
AKM-GSI/ Splash
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are just about done. While no official announcement has been made, it's undeniable now that not only is a confirmation imminent but that they are never, ever getting back together. According to TMZ the two are even getting on quite well, for the sake of the children, and most of the terms of the divorce have already been settled, with Nick coming out of this looking really, really good. Full Story
Mimi's next ordeal
Frederick M. Brown/ Getty
Page Six was on it first. Now TMZ is confirming that Mimi and Nick Cannon are done. Apparently it's been over for months and they're just working out the settlement. They've not been together since May. Full Story
Mimi's second breakup?
Page Six has been working hard at the Beyonce-JayZ breakup. Now they're focusing on another couple: my butterfly and her husband are on the verge of divorce…? According to Page Six sources, Mimi keeps security on Nick Cannon all the time because she's worried he'll cheat on her. Full Story
About the time JLo dressed Ben Affleck
FameFlynet, Splash
Jennifer Lopez was on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen this week to promote the new album. The thing about JLo is that she's always up for a fun playful interview and she can be really, really cute – on purpose, obviously – but there are some people who do it better than others, non? The clip below is 20 minutes long and the sound is not synched up but it was the best I could do with geo-blocking. Full Story

"I went into a little depression for a few days," he admitted. "I was going through all this training and everything, and it's out the window, all for nothing. It just kind of left me wondering why Im getting passed over so much. Its a little disheartening, you know?"
Lamas (13-2) later received a call from UFC president Dana White apologizing for the manner in which the announcement was made, and telling him to remain ready for his chance. (He also promised him his purse even he did not fight.) Taken aback by the surprise phone call, Lamas didn't take the opportunity to plead his own case, but he later asked matchmaker Sean Shelby for the winner of the Aldo-Jung match.
The UFC couldn't promise him that, leading him to wonder what might be next. To him, the title shot makes the most sense, far more than a possible rematch with Cub Swanson, who he defeated via arm triangle in Nov. 2011. There has been a recent groundswell of support for Swanson, who's won five straight, but Lamas doesn't see any reason for a fight between them.
"I could see if maybe I lost since I fought him, but since fighting him I beat two guys who were promised title fights," he said. "I don't know any other 145-pound contender who has done that. Cub hasnt done it, Frankie hasn't done it, Chad [Mendes] hasnt done it. So, really, in my mind, Im the No. 1 contender and I think I deserve a shot at the title."
It's not an all-or-nothing proposition. He knows what he wants, but he's willing to fight again to prove once and for all that he's the legitimate top contender.
Until then, he'll see how Aldo-Jung plays out, and he'll be in the gym working hard. He expects Aldo to emerge with the win at UFC 163, but believes Jung could pose some problems if he continues walking Aldo down, as he's done to most of his opponents.
Honestly, he wants to be the man to end Aldo's lengthy reign at the top. In his mind, he says, Aldo is "the king," and Lamas can be at peace with taking the long, hard road as long as it leads to a chance to claim his ultimate prize.
"I just want to say, a lot of people don't know about me as a fighter, a lot of people have counted me out of pretty much all of my fights, against Cub, against Hatsu, against Erik, and I've surprised everyone," he said. "And if they give me the shot against Jose Aldo Ill surprise everybody again."

When Google Chrome launched, many people complained that the browser didn't detect feeds. Apparently, this feature has been implemented in an extension that will come preinstalled in Google Chrome.
The extension "adds a button to the URL bar when a page has a feed that can be subscribed to". When you click on the orange button, the extension previews the feed and it lets you subscribe using a feed reader.
The support for extensions is only available in Chrome's dev channel. Google will soon launch an extension directory at https://chrome.google.com/extensions and the first beta version that supports extensions will be released in early December.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. – New Mexico State softball player Amber Olive has been nominated for the 2013 NCAA Woman of the Year award following an outstanding 2013 campaign.
The award acknowledges senior female student-athletes' distinguished achievements in areas of service, leadership, athletics and academics. The NCAA Woman of the Year selection committee will select the top 10 winners in each NCAA division (I, II and III). From among those 30 honorees, the selection committee will select the top three in each division. Finally, the members of the NCAA Committee on Women's Athletics (CWA) will vote from among the top nine to determine the 2013 NCAA Woman of the Year.
Olive, a senior left fielder from Simi Valley, Calif., posted a 3.91 GPA and graduated in May with bachelor's degrees in psychology and communication studies. She was the NM State Female Scholar Athlete of the Year and was honored with the NM State Psychology Department's Award for Academic Excellence.
A member of the NM State SAAC as a senior, Olive was the co-chair of Drive H.O.P.E (Helping Other People Eat), where Aggie student-athletes collected more than 2,500 pounds of food for Las Cruces and Dona Ana County. She was also active with Project Hope through the Golden Key International Honor Society.
A three-time National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Scholar Athlete, Olive was a four-time Academic All-WAC selection. She was also one just of two WAC softball players named to the 2013 Capital One Academic All-America® second team. She also earned the All-American Strength and Conditioning Athlete of the Year award, which recognizes a student-athlete's dedication to strength training and conditioning, from the National Strength and Conditioning Association.
On the field, Olive was named first team All-WAC and to the NFCA All-Pacific Region team as a senior, when she led the conference with 79 hits and 41 runs, and ranked second in batting average (.393).
Also representing the Western Athletic Conference as nominees for the prestigious award are Kelly Biette of Seattle U and Kayla Ghersini of Louisiana Tech.

Just checked.
Nope, do not have this problem.
iPhone 4 bugs: Blue tint in pictures, you may have this bug lurking also!
There is a interesting bug in iPhone 4 photos where a blue tint shows up in the middle of the image. This bug has been widely noted and appears to effect only the back, 5mp camera and not the forward facing VGA camera. It also seems to still be a problem under iOS 4.2.1. Some have stated that this may because of the lighting conditions, while others have noted this effect under many different types of light.
I have not had this issue myself with my iPhone 4 or heard of any of my friends having it either. I wrote too soon! I tried taking a picture of a white blanket with my iPhone 4 for the post... and here is what happened..
After the shock lifted, I realized that at close range, I too have a blue tinge on my photos.
This is quite an annoying issue and I have been told of many people exchanging their iPhone 4's only to get another phone and have the same problem. This seems to be an issue which effects most if not all iPhone 4's. This issue also occurs with video.
Possible causes
- fluorescent lighting
- iPhone 4 defect
Potential fixes
- use incandescent lighting
- install Camera Spot Fix app
- exchange iPhone 4
- live with it
Want to know if this happens on your iPhone 4? Take a picture of something white like a piece of paper from close range (2 to 3 feet) and let me know what you see. You may be as shocked as I am.
Let me know if you have this problem and if any fixes have worked for you. Also, does it affect your day to day use?

iPhone 4 bugs: Blue tint in pictures, you may have this bug lurking also!
I don't have this issue.
Just checked mine, and, of course it is there. ANOTHER black eye!!! I know: What you are seeing is the "magic". It must be something with the white balance, if you move off the white object, the spot goes away. I tried it over a sheet of paper. With the paper flat, it was there. If i lifted an edge, and cast a shadow across the paper, it was gone. Then again, maybe you just can't see it but it is still there. Lay the paper flat again, and it returns. Is it just the 4's?? Anyone with a 3GS see this too?
Oh no - just taken a pic of my note pad and I have a big blue dot in the middle! It even shows up in the preview - I was only expecting to see it in the photo.
Do you think an apple store would swap it out? I've had it since launch. I've never noticed it before but once you have seen it you can't unsee it!
@ Rob curious, did you take your phone to the apple store. Esp if this has happened since day one and you take lots of pictures? If it is part of your daily life would think you would want to get it fixed? Just saying. If you did what happened?
It is simple if you are having problems with your phone, make an appointment and take it in to be looked at. The genius will take care of the rest. Most times if it can't be fixed they will replace the phone
I often take pictures of a whiteboard at work and get a blue area in the middle. It may be a fluorescent light issue because I have never seen it in other situations, including in snowy conditions. A truly scientific test would be to take the exact same picture with different lighting, but I am not able to do that.
What I would like you all to consider is that I use a Palm Pre, not an iPhone. So it seems to me that this may just be the way cell phone cameras work.
Never happened to any of my pictures and I take a lot of photos
That picture I took was of white china plate in my house
I too have the issue. Actually, more often my biggest issue is the overall white balance is very pink or purple in anything but very good lighting. Anyone else?
I got it too... It's not that bad. I'll just deal with it, doesnt really bother me...
I don't have anything like that on my photos... I did not really have "any" of those "mentioned" issues since iPhone 4 got out..
Wow, either some people are really unlucky, or I am blessed.
(knocks wood)
I have it too. Its visible on the screen even before you take the picture. Florescent lit office.
This probably has to do with the overabundance of blue in the fluorescent bulb illumination spectrum. The iPhone CCD is probably adjusted/normalized to solar or incandescent illumination, where relatively less blue composes the spectrum. Fluorescent bulbs, depending on the fluorescent phosphor dopant, probably feed the camera more blue than it's been programmed to correct for.
I've never noticed it before, but now I can't stop seeing it! I'm surprised, though, that it shows up in the final image as well as the preview.
One other feature of florescent lights other than their cool colour temperature is that they have very low persistence. If you photograph under fluorescent light with a shutter speed of less than 1/60th of a second your exposure may not be consistent.
In a digital camera, the pixels are not sampled simultaneously. In bright florescent light the "shutter speed" may be 1/500th but it takes 1/60th of a second to sample all of the pixels, resulting in the appearance of uneven exposure.
To see a more striking artifact of this, go outside in bright sunlight and take a picture of someone waving their arms or swinging a bat. Their arms or the bat will appear bent.
As Scotty used to say, "You canno' change the laws o' physics, Capt'in". However, that doesn't mean that you can't hide them with clever software.
I don't have an iPhone, but I just tried this with my HTC Evo.
Incandescent - Red tint
Florescent - Blue tint
Natural sunlight - Slight red tint
It sounds like this is an effect of the lighting
I was gonna say that this must be a software thing not a hardware thing. I've looked at past pictures taken under the older softwares (4.0, 4.1) and I see nothing. It's funny because now that you mention it, it's all I see whenever taken pictures under incandescent bulbs. Also, I don't seem to notice it with other colors, just white.
I checked mine in a couple of light conditions, with different white surfaces, happy to see I have no problem like this, especially since photography is a key function of my iPhone.
Geez, thanks for pointing it out. Now I'm going all psycho. Though, the flash does help minimizing the blue effect.
Blue tint here as well. That's ok though.
I highly doubt this is a bug to me. Just sounds like photography 101. I have a kodak camera, an iPhone 3G, and I had a Sony errison z500A and the cell phone both have this issue. It's not a bug but simple photography basics or either apple is using cheap lens in it's expensive glass sandwich.
@Robert: Same, same!
Thanks for sharing this. It must be intermittent from device to device. The images on my iphone are perfect, but my wife's has the issue. At first we thought it was happening from the screen protector shield.
I'm having even worse distortion than this. Happens with or without flash or HDR, inside and outside, good lighting or poor. Happened with 4.2.1 and previous IOS versions. No case, drops, or water damage. Appointment at apple store tomorrow.
See below for the likely issue... just Google the term:
White Balance is an aspect of photography that many digital camera owners don't understand or use – but it's something well worth learning about as it can have a real impact upon the shots you take.
So for those of you who have been avoiding White Balance – let me introduce you to it. I promise to keep it as simple as possible and keep what follows as useable as I can:
At its simplest – the reason we adjust white balance is to get the colors in your images as accurate as possible.
Why would you need to get the color right in your shots?
You might have noticed when examining shots after taking them that at times images can come out with an orange, blue, yellow etc look to them – despite the fact that to the naked eye the scene looked quite normal. The reason for this is that images different sources of light have a different 'color' (or temperature) to them. Fluorescent lighting adds a bluish cast to photos whereas tungsten (incandescent/bulbs) lights add a yellowish tinge to photos.
Read more: http://www.digital-photography-school.com/introduction-to-white-balance#...
I have discussed this in forums here and at other websites. I've noticed the issue on the front camera too.
I believe it's a White Balance issue. So the issue is very predominant when taking picture of white surfaces. It's terrible....
Here is one of mine...
I was hesitant, but happy to learn I do not have this issue with mine.
I also have it with my iPhone 4 iOS 4.2.1.
Also a VERY ANNOYING problem I faced was that the iPhone even if it is in the area of a WiFi (at home) when in "sleep" mode it wont connect to the WiFi when needed but it will go to the 3G network :-(
This problem started after the 4.2.1 version was loaded in both my iPhone 4 and my iPad 3G.
I use an APP (Download Meter) but you can see the 3G data usage from Settings--> General --> Usage (at the bottom of it) where I realized it.
Crosscheck it if you want and maybe open another entry on your blog to see if more people have this issue.
Just heard about this on the podcast. I'm happy to say my phone has nooooo problems :o) I took a picture of a sheet of paper inside under flourescent lighting and nothing. I also agree it's white balance maybe since Apple is going all out with 5MP and HDR they will put a manual white balance setting but really how many times do you take shots with the iPhone where the shot was so important and the majority of it would be white?
Ok guys,
I have not read all comments but this is a hardware issue not software.
Look at the camera lens on your iphone 4 you will see a little blue spot in the center it is big not small and can be seen with a naked eye and once you have seen it you have your answer i ordered a new backplate and now have no bluespot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes all y pics taken are all bluish... what's the problem?
My network requires to access the wap sites only through a proxy. Can any one guide me how to use wapzilla over 3G through a proxy since the app does not support entering a proxy.

Atlanta's T-SPLOST Referendum and Atlanta Studies
Today Southern Spaces published Edward A. Hatfield's essay "A Well-Tied Knot: Atlanta's Mobility Crisis and the 2012 T-SPLOST Debate," which surveys the challenges of transportation planning in the Atlanta metro region by unraveling the complex history of the contentious T-SPLOST (Transportation Special-Purpose Local-Option Sales Tax) initiative that was defeated in a 2012 referendum.
"A Well-Tied Knot" joins Southern Spaces' growing collection of interdisciplinary, multimedia scholarship on the Atlanta metro region—a collection we have titled "Changing Atlanta." Readers interested in such work might also be interested in the new Atlanta Studies Network, which "connects scholars, activists and residents with one another around a shared interest in Atlanta."
If Hatfield's essay on the T-SPLOST referendum inspires you to join this debate, please consider leaving a comment by using the form below.
A Well Tied Knot
Edward Hatfield has written a remarkably insightful, completely readable review of Atlanta's predicament in transportation, one of the few really big issues of our community. Like education, transportation in Atlanta has been and remains a series of commuinty choices that can not escape people facing the past and current realities of race and class acroos county and municipal boundaries. Hatfield's wit and at times his eloquent prose made the hard facts and truths he illuminates a bit easier for me to read, but his final words leave me haunted by questions about our communities' capacity to change together for the better: how does Atlanta become something more than "the next Atlanta" on this and the other big issues?
