Wise Old Man

Wise Old Man is an NPC that only appears in the Bon Voyage Sub-neighborhood, Takemizu Village's secret lot, Pagoda in the Shadows. He is based off a shaman, as he holds a secret that can be told to select people.

He will not talk to Sims until they pour some tea for him. Once they do, he will preform tai chi. Ask to join him, and once you do it for a few Sim hours, he will say something like "You have the grace and wisdom to hold the tale". He teaches the Sim the dragon tale story. Sims who hear the story can tell it to other Sims.

The object here is simply to build up a relationship with the man and wait. It's advisable to know how to use the gesture "Bow" before visiting this lot.

Pagoda in the Shadows is a big pagoda and there is nothing on the lot except bamboo, the man in his pagoda, and a tea set. There are no bathrooms or real food on the lot.

When summoned to a lot by the mailbox with testingcheatsenabled, in the Make NPC section that summons random NPC's and visitors he is referred to as the Hermit although when he's summoned the tool tip still calls him Wise Old Man.
