I can't agree to toggles for occults. There aren't that many compared to TS3. I prefer player triggered gameplay. Don't want vamps, don't study vampire lore. Don't open the door. Don't visit one in Forgotten Hollow. Don't want aliens don't make one in CAS. Don't do a lot of things at the science lab that triggers the player finding out just who was an alien which in turn triggered them in the world. Don't marry one, don't date one.
To be bluntly honest there are really only two occults in TS4 that are basically flushed out and they are the vamps and the aliens. There are all sorts of Don'ts to keep them out of the game without any toggles. Whatever was added like mermaids and plantsims or zombies was a joke.
People are only complaining about vampires and aliens. When it is their gameplay that triggers 99% of it. Zombies are in one world...there is a mod to stop them from being zombies isn't there?
Who here is complaining about mermaids, ghosts and or plantsims? I haven't seen any complaints in the past few years about those overtaking any lot and or world other than the specific nights at a bar that generates too many ghosts in the game filling the jobs.
So technically this thread is about vampires and aliens when players trigger this themselves. Why have toggles when all you have to do is avoid particular triggers. TS1 and TS2 remain in the top tier of great gameplay because of triggers...not toggles.
I agree that I prefer triggers and in game gameplay. It's more engaging and totally optional. But people got my precious celebrities nerfed because they didn't want to go out disguise or not go as high as a 5 star celebrity ??? the way sims use to act over my famous sim is something I still miss. It felt like ACTUALLY being famous and that's exactly how people act over famous celebrities in real life. If anything it was more realistic.
And every time my celebrity goes out barely noticed I'm reminded of what was nerfed ???
I wasn't on the forum at the time and thought my game was broken. I even deleted all of my sims fame and started over (multiple times) to make it work again. Later when I joined Twitter and came here I found out it was nerfed because people didn't want to either use the triggers or opt out of fame ?
We don't have have zombies but possessed sims in strangerville that never leave that world. They can be cured or totally deleted. Every occult can actually be totally deleted. There are just so many work arounds that doesn't include toggles.
Only vampires I see in my game are the ones I personally put there, and even then they don't use any powers except speed run or fly like a bat (which is a bug actually. They keep defaulting to fly like a bat)
You will NEVER catch a spell caster doing magic unless you go to the magic realm. And you can delete them as well.
