There is not enough eerie-ness in this game, we need a new creepy world!

I loved Forgotten Hollow appearance-wise, but it's so small and boring that I never use it. I really would like a world with a similar eerie vibe but that is maybe the size of Tastosa with trails like San sequoia or komorebi has. The world could include the following:

1. The trails are in a darkened lush forest, which can have certain moodlets and reactions from sims, and at night.. well thats when you want to not be alone on the trails! maybe random sim ghosts pop up to scare you or you hear sounds/feel breezes (via moodlets) and maybe sims autonomously hold out a flashlight as they walk (similar to San Sequoia with the food/water breaks) and the trail can lead to like some kind of national park or something (with a loading screen of course haha)

2. A new carnival or haunted fairground lot type. (heck, maybe this could be for a carnivals pack!!) And there is a rabbithole funhouse but everything else is not, such as carnival games like balloon darts and other kinds, cotton candy machine, carnival foods stand, a ticket booth to collect prizes from games, and maybe bring back bobbing for apple, face paint booth and the carousel from TS3?

3. If a carnival pack, it could offer a new WFH/rabbithole or freelance career as maybe a face painter or something lol

Idk, I know this is not likely, but the world theme itself I think is possible and is needed. TS4 is too bubbly in almost every town you travel to. I would like some creepy small town vibes with actual eerieness! I miss the vibes from The Sims 1 and 2.

  • Forgotten Hollow is too overt for my taste, with its graves, werewolf altars and bat cave it feels more like a themepark.

    Moonwood Mill is more what I imagine an eerie world like - there's this perfectly mundane forest by the roadside, then you pass all those abandoned buildings and start to feel a little nervous, maybe, and then there's the decorated tree in the middle of nowhere and now the hair in your back is really up.

    If I were a designer on Sims 4 I would make a creepy town


    • It would be a rather large map
    • A central Downtown area with a small park in the center
    • The Main Streets would meet in this central area surrounding the park but leave enough room for parallel parking spots should Cars be introduced
    • At the head of the Park I'd place a Town Hall rabbit hole
    • I'd place the Central Library and School Lot close by the Town Hall on one of the major streets
    • I'd have a large Manor House placed on a hill overlooking town very forbiddingly
    • I'd have a wedding venue lot in the form of a church - it would have a bell tower
    • The Cemetery would be adjacent 
    • At another end of the town we'd have an ominous looking Science Lab
    • The Town Hall would have a Clock that will ring
    • Additional Community Buildings: If you dont have a pack it would be blank or a shell building
      • Day Spa 
      • New Community Lots 
        • Orchard 
        • Pumpkin Patch
      • Pub
      • Restaurant
      • Potential Retail Lots

        • Candy Store
        • Florist Shop
        • Furniture Shop
        • Magic Shop
    • Residential spaces can dot the side streets with the nicer homes on one end heading towards the manor
    • Heavily forested and mountainous with Hiking trails and a few spots for rock climbing
    • The forrest will have owl hoots at night
    • Creepy Amusement Park
    • Hermit Hut by a Fishable Lake

    • Community Lots - I would take this opportunity to Update Retail Lots with Lot Sub-Categories (Also what stores I'm hinting I would like to see in future). I'd like to see this done with restaurants & museums too. The Sub-Lot category would pop up as a choice if you have the associated packs for example Magic Shop = GTW + ROM, Candle Shop = GTW + EL

        • Retail Lot - Jewelry Store (Just need gem cutter and a Jewelry making bench, we already have gem stones in game)
        • Retail Lot - Magic Shop
        • Retail Lot - Perfumery (Just need a distillation set up, would be a great cross with glassblowing for pretty bottles)
        • Retail Lot - Pet Store
        • Retail Lot - Toy Store
      • Fog & Pea Soup Fog
