EA working with Spinning Plumbobs
EA Should License Plumbob’s Occult Mods for a Supernatural Expansion
Many players want deeper supernatural gameplay like in The Sims 2 and The Sims 3. The current Sims 4 life states are enjoyable but often feel shallow or incomplete. Modders — especially Plumbob — already created advanced systems for Lycans, Fairies, Mermaids, PlantSims, Witches, and Hybrids that give occults far more depth, lore, animations, abilities, and culture.
Since Maxis has previously incorporated community ideas and hired modders (e.g., infant overhaul, attraction system, Neighborhood Stories), partnering with Plumbob would be a natural next step.
Benefits for EA/Maxis
Saves development time (most systems already exist)
Guaranteed player excitement and strong sales
Proven gameplay concepts that the community already loves
Ethical support for the modding community
Suggested Pack Idea: “Supernatural Worlds EP”
Combining Plumbob’s systems could create:
A Werewolf overhaul (true Lycans, territory, rituals)
Deep Fairy gameplay (courts, wings, abilities)
Real Mermaids (sirens, tide-based powers)
Full PlantSim life state
Witch covens & spell circles
Hybrid life states
A large magical world combining biomes
This would give The Sims 4 the supernatural depth players have wanted for years, while offering EA a fast and efficient development path.
