Dragon Valley: Designer’s Thoughts On Purple Dragons

Published May 20th, 2013 in The Sims 3 Store
Post a Comment

There is a new blog up on TheSims3.com by SimGuruCopeland and this time it’s all about the purple baby dragons that will be coming with The Sims 3 Dragon Valley. The purple baby dragon likes to bring joy and happiness to your Sims, unlike the red and green dragons, it even pukes sparkles and rainbows!

Over the past few blog posts I’ve discussed the brazen, fire-breathing Red Baby Dragon and more recently the earth based Green Baby Dragon and its love for all things shiny or harvestable. Today I want to write about what is arguably the most unique of the dragons, a dragon that thrives on joy, humour and happiness. A dragon that is so dang cheery it literally pukes sparkles and rainbows.

While Green Baby Dragons may have them beat in the tree hugging department, Purple Baby Dragons are the hipster-est of hippies in the Baby Dragon community. They want nothing more than to see everyone around them having a good time. In fact even the grumpiest of Sims can get a steady dose of Fun and Social just by hanging out with a Purple Dragon thanks to the Mark of the Purple Dragon moodlet.
