@SinaMegapolis This is unfortunately a problem exclusive to the Sims 4. In the Sims 2 and 3, fully fleshed out and realized Supernaturals were released with nearly every expansion pack (the Mummy and Genie being the only ones I don't believe were that thrilling), and they weren't watered down or muted. I was much happier to spend $40-50 on the expansions in TS2 and TS3 simply because of the sheer amount of content, but in TS4, that same price tag doesn't get you nearly the same amount of content unless you're purchasing it as a part of a create-a-bundle. Cause I would love if expansions for this game gave us fleshed out supernatural states, considering a lot of the "core" expansion pack content tends to be limited in scope to simply a new neighborhood with some gameplay additions.
That said, I think University could be a REALLY fun place to throw in Witches, if they could make both aspects be fully realized in the same expansion. You could have access to normal colleges, but also a magic academy, and I think it's a pairing that the Sims hasn't tapped into yet, considering the massive popularity of Harry Potter and other magical academy shows and anime.
The Thing is They need to draw from other sources of media it can't just be Harry Potter being the prime source.
That's why I'm against the "Magic University" concept. Sure there's learning involved, but I don't want an obligation of going to this School to Learn magic. Not when I have my Sim's mother who will raise him in a Household with magic, and two Grandparents, one of which is Merlin's equal, if not more powerful.
The only way I can tolerate it, is if the World of which the University resides in is customizable world, not a hidden world. Should the setting be a Good fit for my needs, I would like to Place my Grandfather's Chateau and create a village around it, so essentially there can be no, maybe a few, "Special Lots" the school venue lot type should able to be changed to Residential. If the pack ends up like Get to work where the school is like a hospital, police station or Science labs, I'll be furious. even still, I don't have to play with that part, but that's also half of the pack's content.
