[It's a flail, not a morningstar, dang it!
This topic seems to come up regularly, so in case you're wondering, that spiky ball on a chain is a flail (more properly, a horseman's flail) and that spiky ball on a handle is a morningstar. Maces have flanges, btw.
While I'm at it, a Gudentag and Holy Water Sprinkler are basically the same thing, i.e. a gun (or "gonne") inside a morning star. The Gudentag has 1 barrel, while the Holy Water Sprinkler has three or more-one example sporting no less than nine.
From Simonut: Here is my take on if Sims 2 is losing popularity or not, If you offer or give a monkey a banana will he take it even if the banana is green or yellow ? Whatever new games EA put out there like the Sims3 some human somewhere will buy it.
