Horror Movie Game Pack Idea

Question

I think it would be so awesome if there was a horror game pack where you can create a sim to look like Ghostface, Jason Vorhees, Freddy Krueger, Chucky (bride of chucky/Tiffany, seed of chucky), Michael Myers, Art The Clown, Pennywise, Pinhead, Krampus, Jigsaw etc. If licensing is in issue, then make similar looking clothing and masks but different enough so you don't need the licensing. You can then choose your main aspiration as serial killer, maybe choose a weapon of choice or have the weapons in the build mode and when you click on the weapon, similar to choosing your bed, you choose that weapon. Have movie posters, blood splatter like the wall cracks and other horror genre decorations in build mode.

I'd like that too, not especifically about the graphic violence but the gameplay possibilities, with the danger, relationships, etc. just like Edith (Life & Death) inspired by Sadako and the Urban legend (High School Years) inspired by Bloody Mary.

I wish we had an NPC like Jason with Outdoor Retreat, maybe being a grumpy ghost that can scare you to death if you annoy him to much or maybe have romantic interactions near him?

I think the where we could have a "meeting of the minds" if you will, would be to have a compromise to accommodate the desire to have some additional tame frights in game and as always I am here with my suggestions.

amberdsmith0708​ the game's age rating of 12 to 13 (depending on location) wouldn't fit with stronger horror themes. Werewolves, Paranormal and Vampire packs are toned down for that reason. The rating specifically states "non-graphic violence". There are other games that cater to this genre but Sims 4 wouldn't really be suitable with it's strict limitations.

ladykyn · Answer

Better off with a mod for this. To which I recommend Sacrificial's mods. I can't link them there, but you can google them.

Blood won't ever be a thing in the sims much something like being a serial killer. A lot of that can won't abide by the games rating. Anything with have with occults and the like are pretty much like cartoon goofy violence, but nothing that would result in killing.

I would love if they did a Tim Burton-esque theme. I really enjoyed the spookier items from the Sims 3 Movie Stuff (but it was only a fraction of the items). It is horror, oddity and campy, and usually falls in the appropriate rating.
