Do You Even Occult Bro? (Discussion)
So! With the addition of a new occult Sim, I find myself sitting there staring at CAS not wanting to be ANY of the occult options. I have my gripes about all of them honestly but here's the thing, I a...

For me it's just preference for the stories I want to tell and am attracted too. I have started out vampires multiple times but .. well I think I want it to be much darker than it is for me to put that work into it, because those are the stories I grew up with and the only stories that I want to tell and those stories are harder to tell in this game. Maybe it's just that vampires aren't simmish to me. I can see witches as kind of goofy to normalish (trying to live in a normal world like a normal person) and still have fun with them I can play them as sims... and I guess since I'm seeing all they can do it's easier to come up with more options to tell different stories or see more scenerios as I actually engage with it. I'm engaged and it opens my eyes to seeing more possibilities. Heck I even do this with scientists... I don't make normal scientists they are mad scientists or evil or megamind types that want to take over the world.
When I play vamps I can usually feed fairly easy in the beginning depending on traits... I have an aversion to trying plasma packs. I'll have blood dolls in my basement or get my blood like a classical vamp or nothing thank you very much. I think if I went further with it..actually allowed myself too I'd be more open to trying them out more. As it is though I like having them as silly adversaries and since I'm enjoying witches so much I'm tempted to try a household with a witch and a vamp. I'm guessing some nice spells/potions can work on vampires to help the fledglings I make get to a more powerful state faster... then maybe I'll enjoy them more.
I really like stories and I find mods help make them darker ... sort of. Have you tried any of the mods that make things more interesting?
Yes I do play now and then with enhancement mods... and yes I've gotten a little farther with vamps that way but I won't go into details why lol. The updating bugs me though so I usually end up clearing them out of my game for months at a time. I just can't find consistency doing it that way and I do like my game otherwise so at this point it's not worth the battle to me.
