I will admit, I am not a fan of the occults. The reason why is because my townies end up being all occults. When I play occults, I play them a certain way and I don't want my sims turned into them unless it is part of their story. With ROM, I heard many players had their played sims turned into spell casters. Who asked for that?? Honestly this goes for the normal sims too. Who asked for a million Sulani Sims to be created for all jobs in all worlds??
When I vote, I have to think about how is EA going to handle this in my game? With happy haunts, it would have been my first choice but I can imagine my other households being overwhelmed with ghost sims. So it became my second choice. Now that danger pack idea that came out when they were voting for laundry would have been more my speed anyways.
I think if EA would include options to turn off or not saturate my town with occults or any certain sim I would be more inclined to vote to add more. Unfortunately, these things affect my decisions. So to your point, I don't think it is just hate for the occults that affect decisions.
