New DLC IDEA: The CREATORS Pack
In this pack there would be a few new career choices. 1. Mad Scientist (for the criminal path)- A mad scientist can do very dangerous things like make more powerful fires that become ALIVE. They can make traps that are more lethal versions of pranks. They can give mastermind speeches that convince others to be mean and do bad things. They can create mutated lifeforms that interrupt the eco system. They can make it rain green snow that is mold infested. Or cause a virus that makes everyone slow and tired unless someone stops them. You will get an NPC Phenomenon that is efficient at getting in the way of your plans and schemes. The Grim Reaper will give you access to other worldly items that will make you more formidable if you're really good at helping him keep his quota. Your job is to create scenarios that cause the lives of multiple sims at once. A true villain. The other Branch 2. The Inventor- We can combine various chairs with wheels to make a turbo wheel chair. An orb of light that floats and follows us. A fire retardant jacket that also steam cleans us when hygiene gets low, then eventually the jacket has to be cleaned itself. A helmet that temporarily clones a sim so that the real sim can get some sleep while the clone for the next five hours does the things that need to get done. The clone has the ability to go bad and try and take over your life or harm others by making bad food, or making a shower too hot or cold. A stasis ray that can temporarily stop a phenomenon or supernatural from teleporting, etc. 3. Phenomenon Career (secret career path). This career would become unlocked when your sim becomes AWARE of YOU. They will be looking through the telescope, and if YOU position your camera in a position that is in front of their view, your sim notices you. Then depending on their personality they can either panic, get excited calling for other sims, remain calm and wave at YOU. As an interaction we will get the choice to take the sim up to the sky like their "floating"' in front of us. We can tell them things like their our favorite sim, they need to help others more, we're watching them, be nicer to another sim, they don't have to worry so much we'll protect them. We'll never let them die, which might make them more reckless in behavior. Or we can say we will destroy them if they do something again making them paranoid. The list goes on. This is when YOU can choose to give your sim abilities like their the chosen one, and they will know it with moodlets like "There IS a higher sim", "The Creator likes me/knows me". This sim that has seen pass the 4th wall and gained the "ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE PERK" will now have the potential to become a phenomenon through various catalyst and discovery or experiments. This skill tree will be different consisting of all question marks to be filled out through discovery. Only hints about how to acquire the power will be given. By pushing the limits on a treadmill they can run faster from boosted 1 up to a 10 increase in movement speed AND ACTIONS that WON'T require being a vampire or pressing the fast-forward button. The ability to walk through walls because they had a ghost pass through them and they understand how it's done. Or BLUE BEAMS OF WATER (Eye-dration) from their eyes are earned because they were standing by the refrigerator and has a drink thrown in their face, and soon after got electrocuted, or hand buzzed. Now they can drown anything with their eyes. A sim, a fire, fill a pool, water plants, make the floor slippery, short circuit electronics, or drench another sim's bed, etc. A force for good joins their sim on the job to save lives. Put out fires at increased speed, save a sim from dying by cooling them down from overheating, giving medical care if they studied the doctor field, shovel snow to unbury a sim that was avalanched, save a sim from falling off a rock climb before the Reaper arrives. The Reaper will start to get angry with you because you're making his quota go down, and may doom you as a hero to die. You'll start to get scenarios that seem impossible without abilities, and sometimes things will hinder your powers. You have to protect your identity otherwise your performance takes a hit and your relationships become more demanding because everyone will want your help. True life of a Phenomenon. 4. Cosmologists- This sim is starting to understand the universe, and communicates with YOU often. Through their studies than can manipulate the physical world around them. They can eventually walk on water. They can get a drink of water and turn it into something else they want. Almost like being a magician. However, they have to maintain their BELIEF BAR. They can evolve plants without material. They can be needy though. When they look to you for a sign and you don't respond they start to lose belief, and doubt starts to creep in. They need to do things like look to the sky through the telescope for another opportunity to communicate with you. You can also give them visions in their sleep that influence them based on their interpretation. They can have a following of other sims leading to fame, and profit with some believing they're a fraud. The doubt meter is always slowly creeping up, and so things to keep the belief meter higher will be required like meditation, an act of awareness on the sim's part. However, be careful! The higher the belief the more confident and reckless a believing sim becomes. They will commit acts the put their lives in danger in an attempt to prove they have your protection. They may also prefer you to protect another of their loved ones or lose belief if you let a friend of theirs die. So that's my suggestion. What do you think? There's more, but this is just a summary. Don't want to make it too long.Ethromel4 hours agoRising Novice4Views0likes1CommentRobbers
This is to piggy back on my forum from yesterday about how we should have robbers as a career type option and all of that but u think it would also be so cool to add onto that a law enforcement type career and you can pick between the 2. People could call on you to help arrest someone breaking in and you can go back to the station and interrogate them and choose to lock them up or let them go. Would be cool17drwalker12 hours agoSeasoned Newcomer8Views0likes1CommentPunk Rock Chick themed DLC
Electronic Arts, please give me my punk rock chick themed DLC can't exactly write a fan love letter to Amy Lee of the rock band Evanescence without the proper content for my Sims character to enjoy along with me her creator.SimsGodAkins9416 hours agoRising Novice16Views0likes0CommentsWhy the hate?
I have literally been playing the sims since day one of the sims. I was at the computer store as soon as it was open to buy the disks for the sims. That means decades of me playing the sims. This name Valairia1 has been on the forums since the sims. I keep supporting and buying for the sims franchise and i haven't been unhappy. Sure there are bugs and glitches but that happens in a lot of games. If you hate the sims? why are you buying the sims stuff? I watch youtube creators and hear a ton of vitriol and still the keep buying stuff. If you don't like it don't buy it. Trolls on the forums, youtube, facebook are annoying me. I want to have fun and try to provide constructive feedback to EA to fix the bugs. I am not sure, if all they hear is negative, why they would try to fix or relate to us as a community? The developers are trying to fix stuff and come up with new stuff. I am in no hurry to see a sims 5 since i really like 4. So in the spirit of holiday cheer, let us focus on what we love about the sims and give a break to complaining. It is, in the end, just a game, an expensive game, but just a game Valairiavalairia116 hours agoNew Novice129Views5likes8CommentsNo more live events!
Nobody asked for this. Seriously. I'm sure the executives at EA love live events because they pump up login numbers, but they're terrible for the players: Inciting FOMO- being limited-time events with no other official way to unlock the content, players that can't/won't use mods miss out if they're not playing during the time an event is live. Forcing a specific playstyle- The appeal of The Sims has always been that it's your sandbox to do what you want in, but unless a player completely avoids opening the game in online mode, these events intrude upon gameplay without an opt-out. That was probably the thing that annoyed me most about Reaper's Rewards, having the event pop up in saves I didn't intend to play through it in. Forcing online play- The Sims 4 is a single-player game, therefore playing online should never be mandatory, let alone a requirement to get and keep content. Bugs, bugs, bugs- The Happy at Home content had to be handed out to everyone because so many people had trouble getting it in the intended manner; Answers HQ and social media were flooded for the duration of the event with reports of problems playing Reaper's Rewards and getting its loot. I don't trust that Cozy Celebrations is going to be any better in that regard. Seriously, bugs- The dev time and energy that's going into pushing this mobile-game-esque nonsense would be much better spent fixing major issues with the game, as the playerbase has been clamoring for for years and as EA has promised they were going to devote more time to. When I saw there was a patch today, I was hoping it would include some of those fixes. At the very least, it's unacceptable that trans bodies are still broken several months and several patches after that bug was introduced, despite EA/Maxis's lip service to depicting diverse Sims and a modder showing how easy it was to fix within a week of the patch. Please, EA. Save this nonsense for multiplayer games and/or Project Rene (since it doesn't sound like it's going to be a traditional Sims game anyway.) Sims 4 doesn't need it and the players don't want it. As for me, I may just keep my game totally offline until after the event so it doesn't interrupt my gameplay. Until the next FOMO-fest comes around, anyway...flying-womrats16 hours agoSeasoned Newcomer179Views6likes14CommentsWhere do ghosts come from in the Sims?
When sims die the Grim Reaper comes to collect their soul. The Reaper uses its scythe and extracts the soul. Then the body turns into either a tombstone or an urn (depending on whether you die outside or inside a building). Now, here is my question. If The Reaper has your soul where does your ghost come from in the game? We see ghosts autonomically appear usually at night out of the tombstones or urns... but how is this possible if the Reaper has already taken "you" away? I don't think they thought this thru far enough.FlamingoKicker22 hours agoNew Rookie27Views1like4CommentsThings in 2025 I'd like to have

This is a reference to the Dracula from 1979 starring Frank Langella. This is also Vampire lore accurate. They used to take all white or all black horses into cemeteries and make them walk across the graves. If there is a grave the horse refused to walk over, then that is where they determined a vampire was resting. I think it might be cool for evil Vampires to make flowers wilt when they pass by Vampires and Ghosts get a dance animation exclusive to just them. When slow dancing with another Vampire or ghost they will start hovering in midair while doing the dance. Vampires have a favorite Plasma Type Unlockable new Vampire Power - Eclipsing Fog just like Sims 3 Parasols will help to shield a Vampire from the Sun for short periods If there is a hospital Sims can go in and donate plasma. Vampires on the other hand hand can go in and choose to steal or purchase plasma from the unscrupulous. (Only Lovers Left Alive Reference) I would like it if fastidious neat freak Vampires would have an occasional dusting of their coffin & maybe spray something like Febreeze inside it, just for laughs Sims will get the feeling they are being hunted like in Sims 3 If Burglars get introduced Vampires will always attack a Burglar - They always win and when they do, Yum. Like staying in and ordering Take Out. (In fact that would be a wonderfully morbid moodlet) Chance to make the burglar their minion. Forgotten Hollow should get its own Cemetery Lot & Bell Tower Werewolves Update If they don't already have this Werewolves should have the "Smells Like Wet Dog" moodlet after they shower.

I think that they need to bring back the robbers and music. Everywhere I look people say that they miss it. Should be able to give the option to turn it off or on too. Would also be a cool interactive career kinda like the grim reaper where you go to the houses of sims and the objective could be to steal certain items without waking sims or something like that.17drwalker2 days agoSeasoned Newcomer17Views0likes1CommentNo Novelty Holiday Cookies or recipes?
From what I've seen for the event there's some pretty nice holiday related items. Wreaths, neck scarfs, holiday sweaters, hedges and bushes with Christmas lights, Hot Cocoa tray, etc. Though surprised there's no new recipes for sims to bake anything. Think the only thing we got a long time ago was the Winter cake I believe? Would have liked to see some novelty holiday cookies in the shape of Christmas trees, ornaments, Father Winter's face, Snowmen (or snow pals) and gingerbread men. Think it would have been a nice touch to have either via event or part of the free update. Would have went real nice with the hot cocoa tray for sure. Was just suddenly reminded of sims being able to make Christmas cookies in S2 (which for me they always burned). Even a novelty Christmas cake. Feels like it'd really help it feel more like the holidays for sims if they can bake together making Christmas (winter fest) related recipes. Especially if someone just have base game.LadyKyn2 days agoSeasoned Scout66Views3likes9CommentsPlease add Burglars as NPCs to The Sims 4 base game in the next base game update
One thing The Sims 4 really needs more than anything is Burglars as NPCs adding to the base game, The Sims 1, 2 and 3 all had them and it's ridiculous how The Sims 4 still doesn't have them yet, Burglars should be have a togger on/off option in gameplay settings to make it fair to those that don't want them in their game, this would add a huge level of depth to gameplay to The Sims 4 that we really need.69Views6likes4CommentsPatch in school uniforms for HS Years pack.
Much like how it’s possible to edit uniforms for employees at owned businesses, pls make it possible to assign uniforms for the copperdale high school. It seems odd to have uniform CAS items like the blazer, but yet not implement them as a uniform for all students. I would also like to see this possible with after school activities. My sims is a cheer team captain. I think with this role, I should be able to edit and assign a uniform for all the cheer team members. Same goes for all other after school activities and their captains. My last recommendation is that the students do not wear the ugly blue club t shirts all the time. This makes their outfits pointless considering they never wear them. Thank you for your consideration!Chevelle01613 days agoSeasoned Newcomer7Views1like0CommentsAfrican Inspired Sims 4 world (Music Fest Pack - create band) IDEA🤔
Africa is often referred to as the birthplace of music. Many global music genres—such as jazz, blues, rock, and reggae—have roots in African musical traditions. By setting a music festival in an African-inspired world, the pack can explore and celebrate the diversity and cultural significance of music on a global scale. Music Fest Pack (Expansion or Game Pack Idea) Feasibility of Integrating this Idea into the Game: They did an in-game music festival in 2021, so the codes already exists. Sims 3 Showtime codes can also be reused for this pack. Location Inspiration: Lagos, Nigeria or Cape Town, South Africa. Or, mix different cities from the continent of Africa into one world via neighborhoods. Example: One neighborhood is Lagos (Nigeria) inspired, another Cape Town inspired, or Kigali (Rwanda) inspired. Careers (Note: There is a musician career branch that currently exists but it’s a rabbit hole.) Solo Musician or Band Musician (Active Career): Career Dynamic: As Sims’ skills increase (Instrument, Singing, Charisma, Entrepreneur) and build relationships with key figures (i.e., Promoter, Producer, etc.), they’ll unlock access to higher-paying gigs, exclusive venues, and special events. For those choosing the band musician path, managing relationships with band members is crucial. Band member's skills, moods, relationship levels will impact band performances. Players can ask NPC Sims or Sims outside their household to join the band. Regular practice sessions with the band will increase skills for everyone and improve overall performance quality. Career Progression: Sims start by performing at small house parties, busking on the street, or even performing at local bars for a small crowd. As their skills and reputation grow, they can progress to larger venues such as lounges, clubs, etc. Career Goal: Reach Level 10 and headline the Music Fest (similar animations to what we had in the 2021 in-game music festival), becoming a world-renowned musician or band leader. Unlock special career achievements like “Legendary Performer” and “Music Icon.” Music Genres: players will be prompted to choose a primary genre for their Sim or band. Sims can choose from existing in-game music genres or explore new ones introduced with the pack. Challenges: When asking a Sim to join a band, they will express their opinion on the band’s primary genre. If they love the genre, they’ll be more eager to join and more motivated during practice and performances. If a sim dislike the genre, there’s a chance they’ll reject the offer to join the band or join reluctantly, which could result in lower performance quality, slower-skill progression, and no shows or disagreements during band practice. A band member leaves the group if their relationship with other members deteriorates. Music Producer (Active Career): Career Dynamic: Gives players a chance to shape the music industry from behind the scenes, using their Sims’ creativity and business acumen to turn aspiring musicians into superstars. This career allows Sims to find new talent, produce music, manage bands, and strategize to grow their record label or personal brand. Skills needed: Music skill (i.e. piano, etc), Charisma Skill, and Logic Skill. If players have get together pack (DJ skills) or Get Famous pack (media production skill). Career Progression: Sims can scout for new artists or bands by visiting venues, socializing at music-related events, or using the “Search for Talent” interaction on the phone or computer. Player will chose which direction to take: manage a band or a solo artist. Once Sims find their first artist or band, they’ll start by recording demo tracks (you can rent a recording studio), organizing small gigs, and promote their artist’s music on social media. As you progress through the career, you will unlock the ability to build your own recording studio. Career Goal: Reach Level 10 and Run your own record label, sign top talent, release albums, and host major events like Music Awards Shows. Challenges: If a producer tries to push an artist into a genre or style they dislike, it can lead to creative tension, negative moodlets, and a drop in performance quality. Producers will have to use social interactions to convince artists to try new styles or compromise on genre choices. Producers must build their own reputation and manage the fame of their artists. A bad public image for either party can damage career growth. Relationships with promoters, radio DJs, and media outlets are crucial for getting your artist’s music heard. A bad relationship can limit exposure and access to gigs. Record Label Owner (Rabbit Hole): Sims can run a record label, make key business decisions, sign artists, and release music. The focus would be on the business side of the music industry. Aspirations Under Creativity: Successful Music Producer: Master the art of scouting talent and producing hit records. Successful Musician or Band Leader: Achieve fame and recognition as a solo artist or band leader. Under Knowledge: Music History Buff: Travel around the world learning about different music styles, instruments, and traditions. Engage with locals to gain insights. New Items New Music Genre: Afro Beats. New Skill: Rapping (can be performed using karaoke machines, similar to singing). Beadwork skill. New Instruments: African drums, Westernized drums, saxophone, harps, xylophone, and more. New Death: Sims can now experience a “Death from Too Much Music Fun” when they get overly caught up in the excitement of playing or listening to music for extended periods. As the Sim approaches their breaking point, they’ll display intense reactions such as dancing uncontrollably or playing their instrument in a frenzied manner. New Fashion: Afro-inspired fashion pieces with vibrant prints and designs. New hairstyles. Also, add music genre fashion such as punk rock fashion items, hip-hop items, etc. New Jewelry , new make up, and new face paint. New Food: Jollof Rice (Nigerian or Ghanaian), Bobotie (South African), Ugali (Kenyan/Rwandan), Fufu and Soup (West African). New Animations: Afro Beats dance moves, stage performance animations, and crowd interactions. Basket Balancing: NPC vendors or local Sims can balance baskets or trays on their heads, filled with fruits, vegetables, or other goods. Seller Types: NPC sellers approaching Sims (might get buggy) Cooking Traditional Dishes: Pounding Fufu: Sims use a large wooden pestle and mortar to pound cassava or yam into a smooth paste. Audition animations New Culture Place Afro-inspired marketplaces where Sims can shop for unique items, food, and clothing. New Build Items Afro-inspired build items. Items to build a recording studio Items for building a music festival Music Fest Lot The Music Fest lot will be a unique space in the new world where Sims can headline as part of the musician career. Players can edit the lot similar to how they can edit high schools. Music Fest Lot Trait Allows players to create their own Music Fest lots in other worlds. They enable informal street performances and gigs. Can attend these lots as a date or hangouts with other Sims. New Performance Venue System As Sims advance in their music careers, new performance venues (e.g., lounges, clubs) become accessible. Venues will be restricted based on career level. Miscellaneous Option to request a band to perform when hosting an event. Can incorporate Magician or Acrobats, or other type of performers, etc similar to sims 3 showtime. Dance group career (create a dance group and compete ) Sell music albums New Family Dynamics: Community Elder: option to select community elder as a family dynamic. A community elder is the one consulted on various matters, from conflicts to to celebration. Wisdom Transfer: Elders can impart logic which in part increase younger sims logic skill. Request a band to perform at weddings. Lobola or Bride price interaction: Introduce a negotiation process for marriages. Existing Pack Integrations: Get Famous: Musicians or bands with higher fame will earn more money and secure gigs more easily. Get to Work: Manage a music store: sell music, famous artist merchandise, music posters, and more . Get Together: Use clubs and groups to practice with band members or other musicians, even if they aren’t part of your household. City Living: Perform at city festivals. High School Years: Teens can start a part-time band career and perform at prom or other school events. Use the thrift shop mechanism to create fashions that fans wear around town if you reach level 10 in the music career. Seasons: Weather impacts the festival. Going to a festival during a summer heat wave or thunderstorm can be deadly. Canceling a gig due to a storm will impact musical/band reputation. Create Festival events (Calabar Carnival or the Cape Town Jazz Festival). These can feature dance competitions, music performances, and local food stalls. Life and Death: Other Sims can now use the “Mourn Through Music” interaction at the grave, playing a song in memory of the Sim who rocked out a little too hard. If a band member dies from the new death, other bandmates can gain a temporary “Inspired by Tragic Loss” moodlet, boosting their music skills when playing in tribute. New tombstones for musicians. Request band to perform at funeral services. Wedding Stories: Request a band to perform at weddings. Lobola or Bride price interaction: Introduce a negotiation process for marriages Growing Together: Community Elder: option to select community elder as a family dynamic. A community elder is the one consulted on various matters, from conflicts to to celebration. Wisdom Transfer: Elders can impart logic which in part increase younger sims logic skill.nycsimmer873 days agoSeasoned Novice56Views8likes3CommentsDo Cars Matter?
This is turning into a series . . . So some simmers can't stop talking about how much they want cars, others are bored with the topic. Where do you stand? Which aspect of cars do you care about? On the one hand you have drivability, i.e. the ability to drive your car around the neighborhood. On the other hand, you have parked car interactions: making out, woohoo, listening to the radio, napping, etc. If we have a drivable car without parked interactions it would basically be like an Island Living water scooter, except that it goes on roads instead of water. If we have parked car interactions without drivability, I imagine this being like a fixer-upper car that, once it's fixed up and painted, you can use it for woohoo and naps and all that, but it still doesn't run well enough to drive.BissenNess3 days agoSeasoned Hotshot1.3KViews2likes52CommentsFuture Pack Suggestions
Hey there. The addition of new packs to the Sims 4 have added more game play options, which are fun when they work well. Despite some issues, I wonder how many simmers would be in favor of having some sport themed game packs? Some suggestions for future sport themed packs include: Martial Arts: This pack could add some new careers, aspirations, and traits for sims. Children through adult sims could train in a specific martial art like Tai Kwan Do, Karate, Kung Fu, Tai Su Do, or other forms. In addition, simmers could create storylines that would include self defense, beside the base game slapping and fighting techniques. (Like Magic Realm) However, there could be several bugs with animations used in the pack, but I'm confident the sims pack creators and maintenance team could work these out. Artistic Gymnastics: This pack could include both mens and womens gymnastics. With the six events for male sims and the four events for female sims. Simmers would have to build their sims skills in order to unlock a new event or event skill. (Like the Horse Ranch, Snowy Escape packs) However, as skill building is not differentiated in the Sims 4, both male and female sims could unlock all the skills. A cool feature of this pack could be having gymnastic meets. In these meets, a sim or team of sims would compete in three to six events choosen by the simmers. (Like choosing tasks in My Wedding Stories and the Lovestruck packs) For each event, the sim could choose a routine (unlockable at certain skill level) to perform. Depending on the difficulty and execution of the routine, the sims would be given a score, as if they were in a real life gymnastics event. This pack would also offer new aspirations, traits, preferences, and skill building along with new lot traits and objects. Like the martial arts pack, this pack might have also contain animation errors that could be easily corrected. Track and Field: This pack would have four new aspirations. Two aspirations for track and two for field events. This pack could have two additional skills: one for track and one for field events. The track skill would build along with the fitness skill. Like mentioned in the gymnastics pack above, there could also be track and field meets where sims would compete. For track: 50 meter dash, 200 meter relay, 100 meter hurdles, steeplechase or 1600 meter run. Each event is unlocked at a certain skill level. For field events: shotput, discus, javaline, and hammer throw would be the events. Simmers could choose which events they want their sim to compete in, depending on sim skill level would determine placement. However, these events could turn into nothing more than a rabbit hole like the soccer games in the University pack or the horse competition in the Horse Ranch pack. Which is not something most simmers who purchase a pack like this would want to see. Simmers want to see the action not just hear about it. Anyway, these are just a few suggestions for future sport themed game packs. If these packs were combined into an expansion pack, with a few other sporting events, it could be labeled as an Olympic Expansion pack. That's it for now Villagers!131Views2likes3CommentsNew kit or stuff pack, the '50's look!
I would love some new/old looks for both my sims and their houses! The '50's had some iconic looks and I would love to have them in my game. I also would like some old time decor as well. More decrepit walls and floors and please, please more carpeting!!! I love the new transistor radio! I'd love to have an old time rotary dial phone, even if it is just as decor. But the cinched waist, large skirt, sweet heart neck lines, all those old styles would be so much fun to work with. I've been playing since the original Sims...I'm old and I have all of these things that I would love to incorporate into my play. I really wish you could bring back the "create a style" from sims 3 so we could match colors. <3Sherinthehouse3 days agoRising Newcomer9Views0likes0Comments💡 Ideas > ♻️ Content from The Sims franchise

We should be able to have breast pumps for our sims. Would like more poses to be available to them as well. Doctors appointments for pregnant sims would be awesome and different birthing options. -driving -more boats -custody arrangements for coparents grocery stores more clothes options teen momsBiggWest993 days agoRising Newcomer24Views0likes3CommentsMissed Thanatologist Opportunity
1) Can Dead Language be a permanent voice option for a sim, as if to imply they've been completely possessed? 2) Ghost should have gotten the option to hide under a child sim's bed. Or make doors creak, or turn music on full blast while a sim is sleeping to startle them awake. 3) A thanatologist could have gotten the ability to accelerate the aging of food and sims after they understand and master the macabre. 4) There should be an ability to dare a sim to dance in a grave, and the result be a 50% chance of being cursed. 5) If a sim woohoos in a coffin there should be a chance they develop claustrophobia, or taphophobia. 6) Where is Sanguivoriphobia? 7) There should be something that are supernatural sims fear or have to ward against. Thanatologists should get an ability to manipulate the dead. Meaning they have a chance to make a vampire do their bidding if the vampire isn't strong enough to resist. 8) A Thanatologist should be able to learn how to taint their plasma to burn a vampire's throat that feeds on them to protect themselves. 9) If vampire has acquired all of the vampire powers that they can. Any extra points they have just sitting in their vampire list should represent how old or powerful that vampire is in terms of age since they points have no use for anything else. Or the reserved points can be used to strengthen an attempt at something. 10) And Thanatologist should be able to learn how to speak the dead language and use it to strike fear in nearby sims that hear it. However, the sim that uses dead language continues to strengthen any possible possession even to the point of permanent possession. The side effect is the sim starts to age faster, and is cursed so the aging can't be cancelled by potion of youth, they gain a intimidating presence like dead aura on some vampires, and they get negatives to romance unless spoken to another sim that also speaks the dead language, because nobody wants to hear them whispering in their ear with that terrifying tone. lol Just some ideas. Thanks for reading.Ethromel4 days agoRising Novice31Views2likes2Comments
