Don't Forget The Supernatural Players in 2019

Supernatural elements have been a part of the Sims franchise ever since 1, it's an understandable expectation by this point.

I think that we need a witch/wizard pack at the absolute minimum, a la Vampires. I would also like to see werewolves and zombies return. It would be great if we had an entire magical world like Magic Town.

Those that want supernaturals should probably be pushing to have it so you CAN toggle them off. I'm pretty sure that it would increase supernatural pack sales and tell EA that that is what people want. I know for myself I love a couple of the outfits in vampires, but would never buy the pack as I don't want them in the game. Which is fine, my choice, but I've seen others say the same. If we could just toggle vampires off, we would buy the packs which would increase supernatural sales and probably encourage them to make more packs for you all. I don't care if EA makes more supernatural packs since I don't have to buy them, and I wish you all the best of luck getting them, I just don't want them for myself.

It's almost too bad they can't do two packs for everything. One that includes only a packs CAS/build items for cheaper for those that don't want game play changed, and the second more expensive one for those that want the full experience pack. Either that or be able to toggle stuff off... and I don't just mean supernatural, I mean stuff like celebrities too. (Which I do have Get Famous and enjoy it but I've seen ppl complaining about those superstars taking over the games a lot too and posts that ppl won't buy it for that reason. )

Same for the “realistic gameplay”...... If only I could opt out seasons and parenthood nightmare (sigh :( )

Hey there I went ahead and moved this to the Idea corner as the forum ideas and feedback section is really just for ideas for the forum. Feel free to continue your discussion! :smile:

Absolutely!

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.

I don't think that is going to happen.
First of all, University and Occults had were next to not related in older sims games (considering the Paranormal degree in TS2 Uni aside) and EAxis is not one to make a pack based on a popular media (because it would upset a lot of people who don't like that).
Second, even if EAxis did that, the developers would have to work on the university scope itself less. So the overall quality of the pack goes down. (The Same problem which happened with GTW happens again)

I think that the sims team has to either 1) Continue making GPs for some of the most requested Occults like witches, fairies and werewolves and then add the rest as side features in future EPs OR 2) Make a Supernaturals EP including 5-6 Occults, where at least 3 of them have their own Powers/Weaknesses tree.

And on the topic of Magic University. I don't think EAxis sees doing a Magic Academy worth the price. (and i don't like that either) However i think it would be fun to see a Paranormal degree for everyone with a exclusive career. If the sim studying in that major is an occult they would get financial boost from the university. (Side note: i miss Occult exclusive careers like the Alien test subject career in ts3)

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.

again I will repeat what will you do if the supernatural life state do not return? the only way I would not mind those is if they include toggles to turn them off in game sure they brough vampires but it do not mean they can bring back everything like pass sims game

Be very upset, question why they would refuse to add more when occults and magic were always a part of the game (before weather, laundry, toddlers, etc) and were suddenly ignored for no good reason.

have you ever tough it migh be the lack of funds do not forget game developpers work on a set budget given to them by the industry higher up and to stay within the set budgetd funds they have tu cut some stuff and if they go over set budget it can raise prices or cost of the game there also delays when they are 1 week close to official realise
