How would you like to have the entire Loco Pocos avatar collection, free? Checkout this press release:
I have a few Loco Pocos avies, but my alt is crazy for them so she gets all the fun lately with the various Loco Pocos-related activities. Here she is wearing the prize avie from the Loco Pocos Easter Egg Hunt (SLurl; grab a HUD, find 9 eggs across two sims that match the ones in the HUD and redeem where you started; Special gold eggs, too) in front of the board for the Easter Egg Hunt at Brushed (SLurl), a great shop for Loco Pocos lovers. During either hunt you can pick up a nifty free Easter backpack from Brushed.
How lucky am I? Lucky enough to be invited to a press preview for the Loco Pocos Halloween 2009 Trick or Treat game. Just like last year's game (as blogged here), you grab a customizable pumpkin after teleporting to a creepy, dark neighborhood and go from door to door, "knocking" in hopes to get a gift.
Damien Fate has updated the 7Seas fishing area at Loco Pocos (SLurl) and "there are many unique items you can grab by fishing there, including little prizes from past events! Not only that, but you may be lucky enough to grab one of the unique avatars too!" (Web) New outfits have been released (L$250 each), too, and each comes with a fishing stick or you can get a free stick if you'd rather not buy an outfit. Regardless, use the Invisible Rod from 7Seas to do the actual fishing. Of course, Lucky Kitty Frurry Fluno jumped on this right away. Here she is with Usra Ostrich getting all the good ones. Frurry bought the Loco Pocos fishing rod (L$100). Now get down here to catch all the special fishies before she does.
Today was Whim Day. Something persuaded me to go to Atomic Kitty when I heard they had a temporary location (SLurl). Like several other shops they are giving out a gift-a-day with boxes under a tree and it's pretty good stuff. The penguin backpack in the pic is one item and I'm tickled that it works so well on Loco Pocos avies, too. The box you see has a sit anim. Nekos will love the tangled-in-the-lights look. Other prizes include clothes, a great waiting-for-Santa cushion (with milk 'n cookies!), and more.
The puppy is an adorable follower pet that I got from a Lucky Chair at Cartoon Kids (SLurl) when I had a notion to jump on a chair call. He rolls around a lot when you move but he greets those that come near you and says cute things when you pet him. Toys, food, and a bed make adopting one easy, if you can fight the crowd at the chair. Pretty good whims I had today.
From the Loco Pocos Group Notices: The next long awaited hunt event has now arrived at Loco Pocos! Starting today, you have the chance to win a brand new UNIQUE event-only avatar that will never be sold. All you have to do to collect it is decorate your tree :) When you visit Loco Pocos Island, at the landing point you will find the XMAS dream teleporter, click that to enter the starting point for the hunt! Pick up your game HUD and find the first baubel located in that area. Find all 12 to win!
See the Loco Pocos blog (Web) for details. I talked to Damien Fate today and he said the hunt won't be easy, but a special avie is a prize.
If you haven't been to Loco Pocos (SLurl) for the Halloween hunt yet, I gotta ask Why Not? This is lots of fun and you can win a L$350-value avatar (two actually ... one male one female ... both ferrets, I'm told) as well as take home a pumpkin-load of candy! So when you arrive, look for the ghostly pumpkin and click on it to be taken to the hunt.
When you arrive there are some very good pictograph signs telling you what to do. One of the signs directs you to change your Environment Settings to Midnight. That really enhances the experience and since you are not looking for tiny thing you don't need the bright midday sun. And turn the volume up. The sound effects are cool.
So 'wear' the pumpkin you are given and head down the street. As you get candy the pumpkin will fill up! Really fun to watch. If you knock on doors where "no one is home" something interesting sometimes happens, but you'll want to knock on the doors that have lighted windows with them. These are the "game" doors.
After you knock on a door you are given a choice Trick or Treat. Click either one, it doesn't matter which one. After a three-second count down you will get some candy, a special toy, or a key to a chest that gives out the avatar prize. Or you'll get a trick! Different things happen if you don't get the candy and when the effect stops you can try the door again. Click either Trick or Treat, again it doesn't matter which one.
Take all the candy you want. It is transferable and makes a nice little gift. The non-food prizes are not transferable. This picture shows me with pumpkin full of candy, a Candy Corn Ice Lolly in my mouth, and the hint of a Candy Corn Backpack in front of a door rewarding me with something other than candy.
The path takes you on a loop shaped like a backwards letter P and you can go around as many times as you want. My alt got 1/3 of the way through before winning a key to get the avatar. My main avatar spent a few hours in the little village and got only cavities from all the candy.
Here is the avie called Freida (the male is Freddy) in all her glory ... naked. Clothes are L$100 per item with accessories starting L$100. If you look in the tiny camp hut before you go into the main store you can get a free Baby Monitor that looks more or less like a mobile phone.
