Zodiac signs would also be cool to introduce back. Maybe with a daily horoscope!
https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/images/f/f7/Ep3_cas_segnizodiacali.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/340?cb=20110126053122

Fear emotion NEEDS to be part of this. (preferably as a bg update) I do not want my sims "tense" around ghosts, the grim reaper, or other spooky happenings. I want my sims to be AFRAID. Afraid to the point that if one more ghost appears, their heart gives out!

How about some new traits too?

Occult Fanatic: Absolutely OBSESSED with the supernatural. Wants nothing more than to discover their presence and prove their existence. I mean, how else are they going to finish their fanfiction about their imaginary vampire boyfriend without some source material? Instead of getting terrified by occults, they're super excited.

Scaredy Cat: Ghosts and Vampires and Werewolves oh my! Is terrified to death of anything supernatural and gets frightened alot more easily when occults are nearby.

Everything listed is something I would love, I would really like to only add that if they could make Vampires act more like what they are, even unplayed and allow Sims to ask to be one, or to be a witch, or to be other Occult and have the Occults in turn ask other Sims ( I know they have/had the phone call vampires can make but I haven't seen one in a long while, like other call types. ) and add new parties/ events, like funerals if you knew a Sim that had died, Day of the Dead Festival ( another way to integrate getting those sugar skulls other than on a Sims urn).

The whole fortune telling and seance would be so much fun, I wish they could make them active careers bc it would just be too much fun not to, and if they could add that Fall Festival like Sims 3 had, it had cool stuff like the haunted house with different outcomes. Add the brave trait too in addition to fearful, and the loves or doesn't love Occults. Could give those Sims that do love Occults an opportunity to be one, hang with them more, or even offer to give them a bite ( I wish our Sims could offer a Vampire a bite, and like in 3 if they were romantic it would be on neck and if only a friend then on the wrist, which could play into other things later if they did add attractions, but ill stay on topic)

Bonehilda, she is the coolest I've ever seen. It would be cool if it was a big enough pack that included a world (with more usuable lots) and had werewolves and integrate the dislike they and vampires have, but they cant forget already made vampires and make sure that dislike for other Sims is portrayed as it should be. Have a catacombs that Sims can venture thru ( rabbit hole even) and a graveyard career that could require a Sim to do different things to get promoted in it, and even perhaps different things depending on what Occult you are, or even if youre human.

There are just so so many great ideas already mentioned, I really love this idea so much ?

100% would buy this.

A fear system where we could choose what our sims are afraid of could either come with the pack or as an update before it's released. A new fear emotion would probably have to be added to base game.

Regarding a ghost update, since some realist players would be mad if ghosts got a base game overhaul, maybe instead add a ghost skill tree like the vampire's that's only included with this pack.
Ghosts would start off as they are now but could obtain strengths and weaknesses as they level up.

Possible Strengths:
- Scare to death - Would give a sim a scared buff (need fear emotion) and enough scares could result in a new emotional death.
- Haunt - Will disappear and random objects will start floating with sounds of moaning and chain rattling. Would make sims on lot afraid.
- Possess - Can take control of another sim and make them do random things.
- Freeze Needs - No longer needs to eat, sleep, etc.
- Summon From Beyond - Can call any other ghost to appear on lot.
- Create Mortal Form - Probably highest rank, they can transition from ghost to solid sim at will.

Possible Weaknesses:
- Night Wraith - Looses all powers during the day.
- Eternally Bound - Feels uncomfortable if not on home lot.
- Deathly Aurora - Starts all relationships in the negative.
- Cursed - Things tend to break around them.

New Neighborhood: Abandoned swamp town/ ghost town

Many houses are boarded up with broken windows. Just some curious people, ghosts, Bonehilda and a fortune teller shop remain.

I would so love a new dark haunted pack with a creepy swamp dark world that had mediums, ghostbusters, new types of ghosts, new curses, Swampthing Lifestate & Werewolves.

Feel free to add your own ideas in this thread so I can add them to the list!

I love this post and the ideas that agree with this post! They should definitely do this especially since Halloween is coming up. They should throw in a haunted house where our kids and up could attend by purchasing a ticket like the sims 3.

I also would like(what the sim gurus talked about when going over this GP): ghost hunter freelance career, Séance table, Spirit board, psychic freelance career, grim reaper freelance career, and haunted house lot trait.
