Elf Game Pack

i know the last Game Pack was a Werewolve one so if the team do decided to create a Game Pack later this year, other versions deserves to have them first but a few Game Packs later we do need an another occult

Occults in order: Ghost, Aliens, Vampires, Mermaids, Spellcasters, Werewolves and (soon to be) Fairies

that's where Elf occult comes in

Elf never ever appeared in The Sims franchise so i'd like to change that

i saw an idea which gives me the inspiration to do mine and one of them is an Elf occult and i agreed it was never been done before Another Occult idea thread | EA Forums - 11277683 and i was asking ChatGPT about some dancing ideas and one of the pack ideas mentioned Elf so that's all the more reasons why i decided to create this pack idea (this time as a Game Pack rather than an Expansion Pack, especially since this other occult called "Fairies" is gonna come out called "Enchanted By Nature" in less than a month, and Game Packs feels more complete since the focuss is completely based on a occult, 2 reasons why it's fair to have them as a Game Pack)

at first glance Elf might look like normal sims except their pointy ears

just like some occult Elf have its own needs (its in this link so i won't copy that one here before others accuse me of stealing someone elses ideas)

this person mentioned a couple of things in this link but i do stumble into this when i asked for a dancing pack👇👇

☝️these are the ones i stumbled into☝️

i don't know which version the team wants to work on a pack based on Elf but it will be completely new in The Sims franchise since it was never done in the earlier games before

 

as for the screenshot ones:

it will be a brand new occult if the team add the Elf in the game and in my opinion rather a Game Pack than an Expansion Pack (2 reasons i've mentioned from above)

thumbs up for the longer hairs instead of half long hairs with the Elves based pack💪

  • i'll edit this a little so i can keep it in one piece but i swear they're only pack options (i simply copied it from ChatGPT, pasted it on my own email first and later pasted it here since it didn't let me if i directly pasted it here if i didn't used my own email first)
    dancing pack included there are 4 options they can create as a Elf pack

    i never ever said they should create this all in 1 pack, i simply only said pack ideas based on Elf, sorry if other people get this mixed up for an Expansion Pack but i don't consider Elf Pack as an Expansion Pack (it's really not that deep, they're just ideas)

    they honestly match better with a Game Pack (other packs which aren't occult related deserves to have its Game Packs first though because the last Game Pack was the Werewolve one)

    someone in this link described what they are like so i'm not gonna share it here

    i did used to think Fairies and Elves were the same thing untill like last month, they are indeed different from fairies
    if they can't think about a world, they should create a world based on New Zealand since the movie was made there

     

    i know the first post came from someone else in this link but i don't see any other tittle based on elf/elves so i decided to create my own post about this (i still make mistakes if i like can't tell the ideas from apart or i'm simply overlooking it which is also possible, i'm more cautious these days when posting things based on my ideas about stuff but if i do see one which is similar to my ideas i share it rather there in the comment instead...some tittle may be outdated if it was created from like 5 years or so ago, all the more reasons i'm cautious) since the tittle in that link is also based on other occults otherwise i would've shared my ideas there if it was only Elf/Elves related, that's the reason why i decided to create a post which is ONLY Elf/Elves related ideas👍

    i'll edit the description a little to make it way less confussing for other people since they're all over the place right now

    update: i edited them since recently so it's no longer over the place so people can describe the ideas correctly this time

    Elves possess very similar qualities to fairies.

    The difference is elves originated before mankind where as faires have been considered demoted angels and born from light...Google.

    Elves are healers and Fairies have God like powers and magic..Google. 

    Elves do not keep any close connections to humans while fairies will allow a relationship if they like...Google.

    Both can have pointy ears but only fairies have wings....Google.

    I don't think we need a new EP that introduces Elves because the occult can most likely be represented in Enchanted by Nature....Elves are also similar to witches with healing powers....

    I'd rather have a Zombie or Genie as a new playable occult within the next year or so..

    Merfolk, and aliens need more attention then elves.

    Mythologywise, there isn't a significant difference between an Elf and a Fayrie. And i am shure we can mod the Fayries to be more "serious". I n my Sims 3 game i always sort of pretendet that plant sims, genies and mermaids are just three different subtypes of them and basically used ad mod to make a hybrid.

  • I'm truly not impressed with this EP/ kit, pack ideal unless there is more gameplay to it besides elves and elf tree skills...if EA would even go that far..they would have to add dragons and medieval or middle earth gameplay to your idea before I would even consider it profitable. 

    You can add these gameplay ideas to your threads becues they are true and you'll probably do...

    You should be happy with the gnomes you get...

    They like elves.🙄🫠

    As a fan of The Lord of the Rings trilogy,  this would be a great idea. I always wanted to have a Sim that is Elvish, but I also love would be the clothes that they wear. Each Elven house are different each other as well as each can marry their own kind. But sometimes, they can marry a mortal like Aragorn and Arwen. 

    For example:

    Ñoldor aka Deep Elves:   Most notable: Lady Galadriel, Lord Celeborn and they can be found in Lothlorien.   Hair color: Usually black, occasionally golden and red, rarely silver 

    Sindar Elves aka Gray Elves: Legolas, Thranduil  and they live in Mirkwood. Hair Color: Usually black, occasionally silver

    Half-Elves: (they were given a choice to be Elven and immortal, or to be counted as the race of Men and receive their gift, mortality and death.)  Most notable: Lord Elrond, Lady Arwen.  They are found in Rivendell and Arwen can also be found in Lothlorien visiting her grandparents Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn. 

    For those who don't know what a Dark Elves are and from Lord of the Rings lore: they are were the Elves of Darkness: those who did not embark on the journey over the sea to Aman and behold the light of the Two Trees of Valinor. Most notable Dark Elves: Eöl, known as the Dark Elf, was the great smith and his son Maeglin.

    I completely agree and elves were never made in The Sims games before😁😁

    Good choices you made with this idea😉😉👍

    I think it is time The Sims 4 brings a new occult and elves feel like the correct choice. I personally think they would be great together with dragons / wyverns. They could do three focuses - astral sorcery / rituals / alchemy, dragon riders and academy / diplomacy focus (dances, poetry, new type of art and harp)

  • i haven't watched Lord Of The Rings but i did heard there are elves in that movie and i searched on Google which country it was filmed

    and according to Google the answer is New Zealand so if EA or the team can't think of something about the world, they can create a world based on New Zealand since it was created there

    Elf almost looks like humans except their pointy ears so the team can create pointy ears👍

    they have their own powers too (Google is your friend which powers they have)

    i didn't knew elves and fairies were 2 different things as the occult types so i had to google it up what elves were
