Bonehilda is Back!

Yeah I watched Pixelade's video about Bonehilda not having a coffin and 90% of the comments are that they are not disappointed over that at all...

Sometimes I wonder if the sims 4 have become something where people are just seeking drama and disappointment because they want to.

I think it's gotten to the point for some players that it doesn't matter if a pack could actually be good and worth it cause if they hear something disappointing or problematic even minor the whole pack is a waste and not even worth giving a chance.

That's not to say that if you as a player really wanted classic Bonehilda, coffin and all, to return and that fact that she isn't and she was the only thing that made you even consider getting this pack then yeah go ahead and express your disappointment but I've seen comments from players who seemed genuinely interested and excited in the pack as a whole. The career, the new skill, cas, build, all of it and then they hear that there is no coffin for Bonehilda. Boom... "I knew I shouldn't of gotten my hope up, what a waste of a pack, just another EA cash grab".

I also think that players are still holding on to dissatisfaction with JTB, the skintone issues and the Sims×MAC collab that anything less then ideal just feeds into that dissatisfaction. I don't want to call out any Simtubers by name but you can clearly hear it in their voice's or see it in their face that they are kinds just waiting for the next thing to be disappointed in. I mean I get it there has been a lot of "issues" with ts4 recently but me personally I look at those as separate incidents and not so much as ts4 as a whole. I mean I've seen players who just because of JTB their expectations in SE was to be disappointed and they are still holding on to that for Paranormal Stuff.

But I do wonder how long it takes to summon her through a séance. Will it be a quick action (just accessing the crystal ball) or will it be a longer medium-like interaction? ?

That's something I'm wondering about too. If it's always a long thing, I'd only do it once and never use her again.

It just occurred to me that it looks like they are setting her up to be like the spectral assistant in Sims 2. Your witch could cast a spell to summon her, then she'd do everything Bonehilda could do. She disappeared when she was done and you'd have to summon her again. There was no Bonehilda in Sims 2, so I suppose the fill-in was the spectral assistant.

Maybe they don't want to add a coffin because they don't want to admit their creativity is dying :D

What’s creative about doing something you’ve already done three times before?

First of all I find the whole thing to be incredibly lazy since the skeletons in jungle adventure work the exact same way (summon, clean, vanish). A bonehilda outfit should have been an Easter egg in that pack.

People writing off the change seem to forget that she’s now tied to the spirit table. Now instead of a quick jingle of a bell you will have to sit through whatever over the top animations the table has as you perform an entire seance. Eating a bowl of peas can take like 4 sim hours is an entire seance supposed to happen in 10 seconds? Bonehilda will be relegated to novelty NPC just like the skeleton helper they made 3 years ago.

Queen of POP

Yay, yay!! :p

okay that was kinda gay i should probably check if i am posessed by very gay ghost atm

i think if we asked the beauty herself she would liketh to court grim reaper

I mean you do you in the Sims. I burn Sims to vent. I'm sure there will be plenty of stories Simmers will create with the pack. Pretty sure we each have our favorite NPC we love.
