Priests cannot attempt to convert rival priests away from their faith, nor do they get the option of joining the other priest's church. In addition, when being controlled, a hero can speak with a priest and ask to join their church, automatically converting the hero to the priest's religion. Priests can attempt to convert others to their faith, either by directly discussing it with individuals or giving sermons, which has a small chance of spontaneously converting Sims who listen to them. In addition, both branches' priests are allowed to marry and have children.Īll Sims (except for priests) start out as Agnostics, neither believing in or disbelieving in the Watcher. Female Sims can be part of the clergy of either branch. Thus, it's possible (if very unusual) to have a Good, Friendly, Insecure Jacoban priest and an Evil, Greedy, Misanthropic Peteran priest.īoth the Jacoban Priest and the Peteran Priest are playable Hero Sims. It's important to note that, despite heavy inclination, Jacobans are not necessarily Evil and Peterans are not necessarily Good a Sim's faith only indicates whether they think The Watcher is loving or vengeful. Peteran buildings and clothes are visually more humble than Jacoban, with simple robes and monasteries. Peterans are cerebral and seem to practice a form of mysticism, often praying for answers and writing down religious texts and tracts. The faith is rather informal priests often use humor in scheduled sermons and tend to engage in impromptu public sermons and evangelizing. The Peteran branch believe the Watcher to be a compassionate and loving god who wants Sims to have happiness. Jacoban clothing and buildings are grand, especially their cathedrals. Getting Sims to submit to this code and fear punishment by the Watcher enough to want to be absolved is the main goal of Jacoban Priests. The Jacoban branch believes the Watcher to be an angry, vengeful god and claims that Sims must live by strict moral code to avoid punishment. Either way, it has split into two named branches, mirroring medieval Christianity and its schism into Catholicism and Protestantism. The religion is monotheistic, centered around the worship of " The Watcher." The name of the religion as a whole is unknown it may not even have one. Though pagan worship is briefly touched on, only belief in The Watcher (in a faith that is very similar to Christianity) is elaborated on.
