Do they really ‘listen’?
Hold your rants and negativity! This isn’t an attack against th Gurus and EA, as angry and upset as I am with the recent Maxis Monthly, I’m here to ask what’s on everyone’s mind following the news of ...

It sure doesn't seem like they're listening to the occult players, does it? Jungle Adventures and Strangerville don't count because they don't include a new permanent life state. Witches. Werewolves, Fairies. Elves. Something. They say they hear us but... do they? As others in this thread have said, realism players have gotten darn near everything major they've asked for. When can we get something?
I'm getting desperate. As much as I adore Vampires and Aliens, I play with them constantly and now I'm bored.
Can we jsut have a new occult to keep us busy and shut us up for a little longer?
The only major expansion left for realism people I see constant demand for is something Island or University. Can we just have something different, PLEASE? I'm begging at this point.
I'll chime in on this as well. Playable Occults are a rare thing in Sims 4 and it feels like the devs think throwing anything "supernatural" at us is the same thing. It isn't.
Don't get me wrong, I do love Jungle Adventures, and I'm enjoying StrangerVille. But the life states that we've grown used to being able to play in past games for the longer term have been reduced to buff states in Sims 4. Just look at what happened to Plant Sims. They last - what -three hours? And you can't even change their hair!
If StrangerVille came with playable Zombies or Zombie-Plant-Sims, and Jungle Adventures gave us fully playable permanent skeletons, we could say that yes, they are paying attention to Occult players. But they aren't doing that. What's going to happen with content down the line? FX Mermaids? Werewolves who shapeshift for ten seconds? I fear that Witches might be the only fully playable Occult we'll get because they'll be too busy working on something like farm fields so we can watch crops grow. No offense to those who want that, but it just sounds tedious and extremely boring to me.
Aside from Aliens, (which had abductions nerfed right away due to complaining), the first two entire years of Sims 4 were dedicated to the painfully mundane. Even ghosts are only half developed, behave like normal Sims and still have needs, not to mention the inability to scare another Sim because Fear doesn't even exist. The Vampire pack was like life blood pumped into the game when it came out. (Haha :p ) But here it's been over two more years of waiting for a decent playable Occult. Can we please get another one? Pretty please with plasma on top?
