Hello!This post was originally posted on the EA forum last year but it seems to have revived. A year later, a Star Wars pack is being made. It may not be for everyone but I think a Harry Potter themed pack would mould things over.I copied this response below from another user and reworded it:I guarantee that a Harry Potter expansion pack would be extremely popular and massively profitable; even people who don’t play The Sims would buy the game and start playing it purely for the HP expansion.It would definitely need to be an EP, not a game pack, though. You could go to Hogwarts & if depending on the subjects excelled at, you could unlock certain branches of employment at the Ministry, or become a Professir once you graduated in that subject. You could start a club like The Order of the Phoenix or the Death Eaters. You could pick a side, to back Voldemort or fight for Muggle/Wizard community. If you got certain skills high enough, like transfiguration, you could transfigure normal stuff into more valuable things to sell them; if your legilimency skill is high enough, you can learn secrets about other sims, etc. There could be different Houses that would influence how you react to different sims and situations.A Harry Potter expansion pack DEFINITELY needs to happen!”Firstly, I know we have ROM and as much as I loved it at first, it got boring quickly as there wasn’t much too it? In my opinion. I understand it would cost a few bomb but doesn’t EA own the rights to the Harry Potter games anyway? And I’m pretty sure they would earn profit as the HP community is bigger these days than it was 10 years ago.There’s so much possibilities to create

Everyone that I know that is a Harry Potter fan gave it up because of what the author said recently. They don't want anything to do with Harry Potter any more. I do not think it would go over very well at this time. A lot have canceled Harry Potter along with the author. I on the other hand can still love a product made by someone I disagree with. I can't go along with any the cancel culture that destroys or devalues anything that was created before the creator got canceled.

I don't think this would work when we already have ROM, though I'd have been interested prior to ROM. Also, as stated above, there is so much controversy around JKR this year that I highly doubt it would happen any time soon. Also, to be honest, it would be better to give the franchise the chance to "rest" for a while. I'm tired of all the controversy.I am not a fan of other franchises coming into the Sims game anyway. I'd like more supernatural content for sure but definitely nothing that is too obviously tied to a major franchise or famous fantasy setting or series.

as much as i like some parts of hpI do not want it in simsbecause i just know it would get diminished to level " gryffindor is good slytherin is evil and kids have to save world while going to school" which is big nah to mehp inspired stuff pack? perhaps.but id like to keep major occult things outside of franchises cause its more versatile that wayand i don't think doing other franchises will help the anger that comes from making gp about franchisepeople clearly want them to stop doing that

If would like a Harry Potter pack much more than a Star Wars pack.

Yes please but as a spin off only (I think Star Wars should be a spin off too). I want to create my hufflepuff self, have classes, take the option subjects I want and tell my own hogwarts story. Too many hogwarts/Harry Potter games are for the Gryffindor/Harry storyline and taking Harry’s optional subjects. Personally I prefer newt’s story from fantastic beasts to Harry’s story. It should be a game that is totally flexible so people can tell the story they really want to.

I could see it maybe as a GP, but not an EP. Anyway, never understood the appeal of Harry Potter. :neutral:

Don't we already have a Harry- excuse me, Henry Potter stuff pack? I don't think those two universes would mesh very well... ~~"Harry, you're a- me!"~~

Bad, bad jokes aside, I sincerely think the last thing the Sims 4 needs right now is a Harry Potter stuff pack. Bugs and glitches still need to be fixed and the Sims team has to be listening to their consumers, all of which simply... isn't happening. Until majority of the playerbase is made content with what is provided to us and the game isn't borderline unplayable, the last thing that should be on the Sims team's mind is another brand partnership.

I would adore a hp pack. But it is impossible as we already have a magic related pack. Nonetheless, the possibilities in a hp pack, would be endless. It would be great.

Realm of Magic pretty much fits the bill for a Harry Potter pack if you ask me. Now I LOVE Harry Potter, do I want it as a pack though? Nope. I dont want the game to be relying on other franchises for new content. I want original, open-ended content that I can base my stories off of and create my universes. Not create stories that's already in established lore that you'd have to be in the fandom to fully appreciate.

Hmm...

I think I would prefer to have some other kind of occult sim before a new flavor of spellcasters but it could be a very fun pack. Personally I would probably have a lot of fun with it.

I love Harry Potter, but I don't want branded stuff in the game. That's why I like when they do spoofs, like the Henry Puffer posters.

I wouldn’t like it. I don’t like the Star Wars pack because I’ve never been interested in anything to do with Star Wars. I guess I’m weird because I feel the same way about Harry Potter.

I would hate it.
I know people might hate me for saying this, but I dislike Harry Potter in general, both the books and the movies. And I would also hate it in my game as well.
The Star Wars pack was a travesty, and I wouldn't be surprised if a pack about Harry Potter would be just as bad.
Besides, we already have Realm of Magic, so magic is over with.

I feel the exact same way as both of you. It's not my cup of tea, I have no interest in either of them, I have never watched nor read either because it does not interest me.
