  • Episode 4 Season 1 – Sims Spell-Caster Vampires

    By Andrea Menzies

    *This podcast now updates on Tuesdays.

    Intro: Sims 4 is a popular video game with spell-casters and vampires. Did you know people can play a spell-caster mixed with a vampire and many other occult types? The FH7podcast reviews books and videogames with book connections. On Tuesdays we do a podcast at FH7 with videos. See more about how the story of Sims 4 mixes these two magical occult stories, and how to place food in nightclubs at https://www.patreon.com/cw/FH7Productions7 #Sims 4, #Spell-Caster mixed with Vampire.

    Sims 4 is an ultra-popular video game where people can make a millionaire dream life and compare photos of it online with other users. If you buy the vampire pack you can play vampires. If you buy the spell-caster magic pack you can do magic. The problem is if you buy both they are so fun it is hard to pick what things you will give your main characters! Fortunately, you don’t have to! Here are a few tips and tricks that I wish I had known when playing spell-caster vampires. Use the cheat menu on a spell caster, and you can give it a vampire energy bar. They will be able to drink blood and order blood packs on the computer and drink them. The spell-caster vampires also never age, and burn in full daylight when not under an umbrella or tree. If you love vampire characters get the seasons pack so the characters can have umbrellas. Surprisingly the characters do not glitch out too bad, and use all the spells like Copypasto, and Repairo well using vampire energy to power the spells. Spell-caster vampires can no longer rise in vampire ranks, and cannot become master vampires. They can make vampire drinks at the bar, and know vampire secrets.

    To make a spell caster vampire:

    Press Ctrl + Shift + C (then enter)

    Type testingcheats true (then press enter)

    Type traits.equipt_trait_OccultVampire  (then press enter)

    Poof, vampire bar is now in the spell-caster menu!

    If you have a vampire, you must have them cure their vampire state, turn them into spell-casters, and then re-add the vampire trait. In this way you can complete both the storylines in the game, and use all items in both packs. Unfortunately, if you try to put vampires in a house with non-vampire spell-casters they will try to eat them to death. Have a vampire reach high level vampire lore, gather 5 garlic, and make a garlic braid. This braid will protect non-vampires in the house from bites. Give all magic users brooms and set to “always use brooms” so they can power up magic spells. Vampire spell-casters can also eat food. You can place food at nightclubs by pressing edit when in night-club mode, and type in the search “stall” for food stalls to turn all night clubs to restaurants.

    A good book to compare and contrast this video game’s details to is called “Press Stat The History of Video Gaming” by Erwan Cario. A visually stunning book available on Amazon that talks about the roots of video games from 1958 until modern day with details on Sims, Minecraft, and Fortnite.

  • Closed Goat

    By Andrea Menzies

    They also had many types of music nights from rock to rave there. I went to many shows at it. Music places open and close every 2 seconds in New Orleans. Trying to pretend there is one club that plays wild music in New Orleans is like trying to say one tree in the forest has leaves on it. NOLA.com just reported The Goat club has closed in New Orleans. I used to love to visit school friends that lived at that place.

    New Orleans Goth bar and music venue The Goat has closed after nearly a decade

    Decorated with cobwebs, the venue on St. Bernard Avenue hosted both live bands and DJs

    The Goat, a New Orleans neighborhood Goth bar and music venue, has closed.

    Owner Matthew Checki announced recently on social media that he had sold the bar at 1301 St. Bernard Avenue. Tuesday was its final night as the Goat

    “For nearly a decade, I have had the privilege of owning and operating my own bar in New Orleans,” Checki wrote. “The experience was immense to say the least. Through every single moment of success and challenge alike I truly loved it. Now it is time for new adventures in life both professionally and personally.”

    Checki opened The Goat in 2017. The studded chains, horned skull and bat painted on the Goat’s otherwise plain gray exterior only hinted at the venue’s dramatic interior décor. A tangle of cobwebs on the ceiling concealed an assortment of skeletons suspended above a chandelier. A pentagram decorated the stage floor.

    The Goat featured punk, metal and other underground bands as well as deejays. For the recurring “Attrition” night, DJs such as Evil Rudy and Sneauxball cranked Goth, industrial and synth music. The Goat also hosted such recurring “rituals” as “Dark Electric,” “Splatterday Night” and “Sacrifice: The Fetish Party.”

    “Eclectic in focus but united in darkness, our Rituals constitute a central component to the musical and aesthetic identity of The Goat,” said a post on The Goat’s web site. “Come worship.”

    The cover photo of New Orleans surf/punk rock band the Unnaturals’ 2024 album “Sleazy Listening” was taken at the bar of the Goat.

    Beyond the music, the Goat served as a gathering place and de facto clubhouse for the New Orleans Goth community.

    “There are too many bands to list but thank you so much to all the incredible acts that rocked our stage,” Checki wrote. “Thank you so much to everyone who came over the years in support of our events.

    “The accomplishments of the experience that was The Goat were gauged by the talent and clientele we shared our nights with. I think it’s safe to say that makes it a successful story…

    “It was the experience of a lifetime.”
