But a supernatural-themed expansion without the ability to turn off the fantasy elements means that from now on all my stories have to be fantasy stories. This is the opposite: this constrains my gameplay.
Except this is not the case. I have two saves going at the moment. One, which I call my Seven Stories, is about a family of spellcasters and so is very fantasy.
The other, Rags to Newcrest, is about how Newcrest develops over seven generations. Other than the occasional vampire poofing away at night (which is honestly really easy to ignore) the only reason I know supernatural elements are in the game is because I know that certain characters are from supernatural packs. I can completely ignore all supernatural elements in the game while playing this save - and I like the fantasy elements. I just have chosen to not incorporate them in this particular set of storylines. (okay, there was the time Vlad burned to death in front of the gym...)
Now, maybe if the Fantasy elements hadn't been nerfed so much, maybe they would be in the story more. Maybe the Vampires wouldn't be something I could ignore. Maybe seeing Simeon Silversweater or L Faba walking down the street would be more breaking than recognizing their characters from Realm of Magic. Maybe the writer who wrote extensively about Sixam would have actually met an Alien. But none of that happened. It's just an ordinary story of an ordinary family building Newcrest from nothing into a thriving community.
