Halloween 2020 - Voodoo / Hoodoo Magic (Patreon)

This mod requires:

THE XML INJECTOR, Spellbook Injector, Death Interactions and Ability to Read 

A bit early, but I'll be busy and I wanted this out for Halloween.

This is a rework of Voodoo. In game, the most Voodoo does is giving a buff. That's not even, technically, Voodoo... so, what's Voodoo?

Voodoo is a religion, with a deep spirituality and esoteric, born in Africa and imported in the USA by those people who were taken from their homes and used as slaves. In those times, Voodoo has been very important to keep people together a fight oppression, so much that the people in power opposed this religion in very way. Voodoo is also a Monotheistic religion, they don't worship the Loa, they serve the Loa and the Loa serve them in return, but they worship only a God. For this, it mixed with Catholicism and Christianism very well. The magic component is only one part of Voodoo. This mod is based on Louisiana Voodoo to include both Hoodoo and Voodoo.

What Voodoo is NOT: Black Magic.

This mod aims to give back to Voodoo a bit of its meaning, the religion, though, is very ceremonial and hard to port in the sims. 

As far as the relationship with the Loa goes, new options are available from an unbound Voodoo doll to interact with these Spirits:

Using these options will allow you to learn spells, alchemy, initiate yourself to magic, without relying on The Realm.

Kanzo: initiation ritual of Voodoo, now in Voodoo, the initiation happens through possession by spirits. The Kanzo ritual will turn a regular Sim into a witch, they'll be possessed by the Loa for about two day, after that, the other options too will be utilizable.

The options are open to all sims, but they do nothing unless you do things in order... to do things in order, the firs Loa to contact is Papa Legba. He will open the contact with the other Loa and allow you to learn from them. The Kanzo ritual doesn't open the door automatically. 

Papa Legba will turn your witch into a Voodoo witch.

In Voodoo, working magic doesn't happen like in occidental magic by working energies, when you cast a spell, the Loa casts it for you, for this Voodoo witches build no charge. Instead, they consume Loa satisfaction. The satisfaction doesn't go down unless you cast spells. If it goes down too much, they'll stop working for you until you'll bring it up again. The option to cast will be blocked. You can keep them satisfied by offering them food:

Every food is fine. They'll take their part, and after that, the food can be consumed:

After contacting Papa Legba, contacting other Loa will unlock spells, there are tooltips to see what unlocks what:

Working with the Loa is the only way to unlock the Zombiefy spell at rank 4

The Zombiefy spell is the most powerful mind control spell, it allows you to have a permanent zombie that will work and fight for you under command:

The Zombie is your until you free them:

The options change if the Zombie is a regular sim,  spellcaster or a vampire. Mermaids and bots cannot be zombified. Don't worry for their needs, the stats are locked (you can still direct the zombie if it's a member of the household)

Witches and The Voodoo Doll:

The Doll has new different options for witches, these are open to all witches under magic:

The names are the same, the effects are different (there are tooltips):

Not all of them are deadly:

Enjoy! Happy Halloween!
