Don't Complain if You Buy The Pack

I was on twitter and saw this:

This is off topic, but could you please put out a fix to make the spirits less invasive?
Face with rolling eyes
Whenever they are around I can't get anything done, my sims cancel every interaction to crouch in fear until they leave. Like I get they're scary, but I'm trying to play the ❤️❤️❤️❤️ game.

I just replied to her tweet and asked why she doesn't just change the lot type to something other than the Haunted House lot type.

Oh for the love of all things holy...these NITWITS, I-I just can't even BEGIN to understand their logic. "I want to live in a spoopi haunted house without there being too much spoopi activity, pls nurf, uwu." Seriously, if you don't like the "haunted house" because you "can't play the game" then don't change your lot type to a haunted house, change it back to a regular lot type, ffs IT'S NOT THAT HARD!

ISTG, if the devs nerf ANYTHING in this new pack or any possible/upcoming/future supernatural/occult themed packs, I am done, I'm not buying any more packs. I am tired of paying full price (I'm in Australia, so stuff packs are like $15.00, expansions are closer to $60!) for packs only to have a core feature of the pack "quietly" patched out because a bunch of fools don't have impulse control or use the in-game options to get rid of the supernatural activity.

*deep breaths* Can you tell I'm angry? Lol.

Not only can you turn the lot type off, but they gave us multiple ways to keep the haunting activity down, ,from performing seances to getting rid of cursed objects quickly, to giving the specters presents to go away. IF people can't be bothered to do any or all of those things and then want to complain, I have to wonder why the bought the pack in the first place. Use the tools provided ffs.

EXACTLY THIS!!!! This is what bugged me about the complaints with vampires, there were in-game tools provided to keep your sim safe from their late-night shenanigans, heck there were even options to lock doors when Vampires came out (people act like there wasn't but there was, it's how I kept my sims safe). But Instead of using them, they were so freaking lazy they just went and stirred up unnecessary drama about it on Twitter. The old "squeaky wheel" theory. ffs.

Oh for the love of all things good in the world. NO!

They're MEANT to be spooky and invasive!

I'll tell you what's unrealistic - the frikkin' thunderstorms I'm getting practically every night in Brindleton Bay that cut off my power. And every Sim being afraid of thunderstorms and making it impossible to turn out anything of value. The thunderstorms happen more often than the ghosts on my Spooky lot! And when I'm not getting thunderstorms, Landgraab electricity is failing my house.

Wait, I don't see me asking Maxis to nerf thunderstorms.

And there you have a toggle to turn off the thunderstorm if you do not like those.. just saying...

You mean the toggle that turns off ALL weather..? Just saying... Anyway, as a Stuff Pack, I think it's perfectly rational to want to get this pack for the Stuff.

The sad thing I think, is that you can get the Medium Skill, AND the new job, ALL without having any haunted house at all. You can even get the new spooky collection without living in a Haunted House. Yet people want the feature the pack is named for nerfed. It's not even that spooky, except if you deliberately let it get really bad.

No, I mean the toggle to turn thunderstorms off, not ALL weather.

And FYI, you edited your post while I was typing, so before you edited it, it sounded just like you were saying you would want the thunderstorm nerfed :) I now see you did not :)

There is no reason to make the spirits less invasive. Your medium can work their butt off and they will become less invasive as part of gameplay. If you don't want to work to have a less haunted house then yeah... you shouldn't buy the pack or at least use the lot type. You could also make it a normal residential lot to give yourself a break for awhile then switch it back to haunted to crank up the gameplay. There is a lot of control you can have in the pack if you think it through.

Looks like Lake Maracaibo is probably tops on your list of places to "not retire to" :mrgreen:
