– Faith of the Watcher (from TSM): belief that a divinity, the Watcher, observes and influences the lives of all sims.
> Peteran: god is benevolent, caring. In such’s image sims should aim for greater goodness in all things.
> Jacoban: god is fanciful and cruel, sims created to be their playthings. Life’s aim lies in panache and roles, where all orders and all scripts must be obeyed.
> Jeffrean: god’s eye is oft turned half away, questioning but immobile. A sim’s path is theirs to trace, and the Watcher will only watch.
(Named after TwoJeffs, the creator of ACR, because autonomy.)
> ?: all sims are but vessels of god’s thoughts and actions. The watcher lives within all of us.
(I wanted to name this one after this person on MTS who was super controlling of their sims, but I can’t remember their name :P)– Faith of the Grim: belief that Death is a driving and influent force in the lives of all sims – beyond its simple inevitability. The Grim is at times a force to be feared, and at others a fate you’ll great like an old friend.
> Cult of the Undeath: according to whom the Grim can be joined in its state of unlife, and sims of certain afflictions (vampires, zombies) have attained a superior way of being.– Old Magic Animism: a more naturalistic faith which reveres the inherent magical proprieties of certain beings, objects and locations. Of course, Magic Town is one of its predominant holy sites.
– Grilled Cheese Cult: a disturbing faith that pushes the grilled cheese aspiration to its logical – and creepy – conclusion.
– Alien Empire Cult: belief in ancient myths and legends rediscovered through the eyes of the modern sim. Aliens are believed to be gods and the Earth their creation. Members of this cult are often half-stuck between reality and dreams.
– Bella Goth Cult: a new age faith that is half celebrity worship, half fascination with the mysterious green skinned being from outer space. What started out as half a joke has devolved in something much more sinister.
