I am not a big paranormal player and I also thought how is this going to work since sims can't get scared? But, I recently read that for the first time in over 6 years the sims team decided to add a new emotion (highly needed). This is one of the things I've been whining about for the longest time. I especially wanted scared, content and exited (which is not the same as energized) . I am actually quite optimistic. I think this game has a lot yet to do to make game play better (and sims more interesting and less robotic) and catch up to an impressive build more, but this update is a move in the right direction. As for the sim pack, it actually looks like it might be fun. I usually don't expect much from stuff packs, but this is a welcome surprise.
