The Sims 4 x Harry Potter

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
  • We have a Henry Puffer fan made stuff pack, and it’s perfect... It’s also FREE!

    For those that don’t know Henry Puffer is the Sims 4 version of Harry Potter (he the wizard on that poster) an amazing simmer (with help her friends) has already made the perfect fan stuff pack around him. Sims can now decorate their rooms around Henry Puffer, wear his clothes, read his books. I’m not sure if you can eat the candy or if it’s just a decor item, but toddlers get a Henry Puffer toy, considering it’s a free pack, based around a single freaking poster in the sims 4 base game you get a lot of stuff!

    It hasn’t been updated since 2019 so I’m not sure if it’s still works, I’ve had to take it out of my game every update and eventually my mods folder had to be completely remade when Eco Living came out and I’ve been to afraid to put any CC, Default Replacements and worst of all my Fan Made Packs.

    Please don’t blame the creators of this pack (I honestly believe it still works, but I’m on a break from Sims 4 until 2021) but I had some fan made packs that came out in 2016 which still worked in my game until the Eco Living expansion came out, so blame EA.

    Also with the Sims Fandom still being mad over that Star Wars pack if EA choose to do another game/expansion pack with a established brand I’d say that having to work out Sims 4’s bugs has finally cracked them.

    Also I’m still a fan of Harry Potter but I can’t even read the BOOKS anymore because I like a lot of people got offended by her tweets... I had way too much written about my feelings towards them before I realized this is a SIMS 4 POST... So the skinny is she’s awful now, and I can’t imagine trans and non binary sims players would want a pack with anything to do with HER.

    So now I’m looking for other books written around the same time I might of missed as a kid. I’m having lots of fun looking into reading other books and explore other fandoms from that era, I’m now a Percy Jackson fan

    As for having Harry Potter in the Sims 4? No, we already have Harry Potter parody in the sims 4 and he’s just fine for me. He’s Henry Puffer a Sims 4 original. He’s also cute gay blond boy and I can imagine he’s gay and dating a Sims 4 Draco Malfoy expy (who isn’t racist)... Also Henry Puffer and the emo kid (The play no one talks about) will never be a thing... (That play won’t harm us here).

    (You had one JOB dumb play, since Draco/Harry couldn’t be a thing in Harry Potter. They play would make their sons, a popular ship in their own right, become a couple and together they stop a new threat... Instead JKR and the dude who wrote Naruto had a “who can ruin my franchise fastest contest”. Which JKR won and then won again by a tweet.)

    We already got a pack for Henry Puffer, though if EA wanted to make a version of their own (giving kids magical skills to learn, which should of been in ROM) they could do a collaboration with the wonderful people who made the original free pack (EA has to pay the original makers massive bank if they want to do the collaboration with them though).
  • I thought ROM was Harry potter theme as it has HQ, duels, Familars, learn spells, and visit Spell casters alley. Which I like and with the chest we can edit these lots. I wouldn't mind having a quiditch match where you can watch sims play and you could practice catching the golden snitch to improve game play and win the match.

    Id like to have owls in the next game pack. Itd make ROM complete.
