Something that should have been added to turnons/turnoffs

 WHY did we not get occult types on the list of turn ons/turn offs??? Why can't our sims have the choice? It would only make sense that some sims would want to be with another like them, or not be with an occult that scared them. 

Thoughts?

    Agreed. I have also made a discussion on what turn-on and turn-off categories could have been (the physical side is the most disappointing side in the game for now) before Lovestruck was released.

    Occult status is something that should be there too. When I made likes and dislikes suggestions years back, someone said that likes and dislikes based on occult status could be a kind of... a problematic thing, to which I responded that occult sims have special powers and most occult statuses can be turned into and cured of (which leaves Aliens in a gray area).

    Like seriously, why can't I make sims that are turned-on by werewolves and sims that are turned-off by werewolves?

  • Thanks. I don't know why they would think it to be problematic, and I would like to know the reasoning in that thought. It just seems to me to be a very major thing  missing!

      Yeah, I agree. What was written years back was this:

      It could be a kind of racist behavior, it can't happen in The Sims.
      It's similar to like/dislike skin color or gender.

      I'd say hard disagree to it. But yeah, this was written years back and perhaps their opinions have changed.

      My only guess here is that sims can be born with the occult status. But for me, that only makes the case for alien sims as many others can be cured (yes, even Servos through a bug).

        That has got to be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Their excuse, that is.
