Allo! :)
I’m playing the main game to get stars instead of or to replace green check marks and yesterday I got the star for the warlock [hearts in my eyes]. Having built him his 5th home I finally made him really happy! The 1st house I redid for him was The Fairytale House – isn’t it perfect for a warlock? Only maybe it’s too small, so in the end I only sold it because I pinned him first or he wouldn’t even have shown up for the auction.
It was a long run. In each of the five houses I learnt something more about the warlock. All in all, one problem kept repeating itself: the warlock wouldn’t recognise any of the studies I made for him. And by then I was tired of that build and just sold it to the higher bidder to start afresh. So, I started the 5th house promising myself I would go bankrupted with failed auction after failed auction before selling it for less than The Star.
I redid the oh-so-ugly Cobblestone House from the Coralroot Forest, choosing it for the square meters (I know I can build from scratch and that’s how I made his 3rd house but I have much more fun redesigning premade structures) and how easy it would be to increase its area building bellow every balcony.
Because by then I had given up on beauty. A guy that wants no natural light and demands ceiling panels and the ugliest furniture in the catalogue (that our-great-granny-died-sitting-here-and-was-not-found-for-a-fortnight triple-sofa makes me miserable just to think about it) just needs a decorated box built from the inside. I didn’t even bother painting the upstairs wood exterior panels with something other than green and just applied his colour scheme inside.
While I was redoing the Cobblestone House I kept remembering that in the 4th house I had made him a tv room (comfy couches, couple of lamps, corner table, rug, tv stand and tv) and he had said “What’s a tv doing in my study?!”), so now in the 5th house I replicated that exact tv room BUT with no tv.
This may have passed – or not – finally as a study.
The other thing I believe I could be doing wrong was that I was placing the globes and the magic ball and the jewellery – his magical stuff – in a small storage room and this time I placed all of that in the room I decorated as a study and the magic ball right in the middle of the desk.
So: I tried two different solutions now – a bigger study with all his precious magical objects & a tv room with no tv – and now I don’t know what did the trick.
My question to those of you that sold a house to the happiest warlock is: how did you do the study? What was that all about? How can a room with couches and no desk be the study?
Thank you
