Sims 2: Hidden Bit of Folklore - HPlookalike - 11-12-2012 04:57 PM
In the expansion pack "Apartment Life" for the Sims 2,in the neighbrohood Belladonna Cove,there is a cleverly hidden secret lot called "Watervista Place" that can only be seen by using the "Tab" camera control angle. Its a small shack sitting alone by itself at the very edge of the map. The shack stands off the ground and is supported by two spiral staircases,which have a resemblence to legs,as well as chicken shaped footprints on the ground behind it. What's so special about this is that its a referance to the hut of Baga Yaga,a hag/witch of Slavic folklore whose shack had legs of a chicken and sometimes could move around on its own.

There is a similar reference to this folklore piece in Runescape's Lunar Island.
