Happy Haunts Revival?

I don’t care for a reaper career, but I think a seance table and crystal ball, maybe something like tarot cards were in the game, along with an active psychic career. I think a clairvoyant like Edger Casy would be great!!

Let's be fair. BG has Ghosts. GTW has Aliens. IL has Mermaids. StrangerVille...just strange, with Possessed sims and an obnoxious Motherplant.
Some of them offer more occult gameplay than the skeletons in JA.

However, I would certainly like to see some of the ideas from Happy Haunts return in a Gamepack, including a Grim Reaper 'career'.
A stuff pack would not be big enough. I'd say it would be a Gamepack since it's quite niche, but at the same time it should offer enough gameplay to keep occult players happy.

Agree :)

I'm a realistic player and tend to sprinkle some supernatural here and there.

I voted on Happy Haunts because I wanted something different. And the grim reaper career really made me excited.

Ghost hunting career was something I LOVED in the sims 3 so I hope we get some type of happy haunts game pack soon.

We also got witches aka spellcasters in Realm Of Magic and Vampires in the Vampire Gamepack..

Indeed, I realize that. I was actually commenting on OP’s opening post, where they only mention occults from RoM, Vampires and JA. I just added another list of existing occults we should not forget to mention. I noticed I omitted Plant Sims, although this life state doesn’t even provide much interesting Gameplay or occult design.

I just want as much supernatural stuff as possible. I understand some people don't like it, but in that case they don't have to buy the packs. I would love seance tables or just darker stuff - we almost got it with Vamps but we need more 'darker' themed supernatural stuff. The game is rated Teen, after all.

I totally agree with you!

I'm not entirely sure how I could incorporate a Happy Haunts type pack in my game but I'm sure I'll think of something... I just want something different to the modern mundane that seems to be prevalent in this game. Don't get me wrong I appreciate realistic things but the game doesn't really feel like the Sims when it feels too realistic. In my opinion, a game like the Sims must have balance between realism and occults otherwise it just feels like a pixelated chore to me. I like to spice things up every now and then with playing unrealistically and in ways I wouldn't normally do.

Variety is the spice of Sim life.

I believe the devs could actually do a lot with a pack like Happy Haunts. A cheat to be able to kill off any Sim at any time would be great for storytelling (similar to the Tombstone of Life and Death from the Sims 2).

We have ghosts. What about the option to add a ghost or spirit to the household without using cheats. When the ghost is selected we could have the option of ghost view where the living appear transparent and other ghosts appear solid. Vampires might appear in their vampire form. The grim reaper might appear as a youthful teen boy in a toga (a nod to Hermes). In the least they can react with the Reaper. Ghosts don't have the same needs as the living. They don't need food or sleep etc. Ghosts do feed on energies. Positive or Negative emotions. Being around different moods will result in the ghost's levels of good or evil. Reaching the near max has positive or negative side effects. Maybe Halos or Horns or positive or negative abilities like shedding light or casting darkness. Finally, maybe, ghosts can be made in CAS as great grand parents or lost sibling, or even an ancient sea captain who haunts the family manor.

I voted for it but now I think it was best it didn't win because SPs are very small. Maybe someday they will consider putting it in a GP instead of a SP.

It seems the main consensus is "It has CAS I like but I hate fantasy element s so the pack about fantasy elements should be watered down cuz I don't like it." Which annoys me
