Happy Haunts Revival?

So it was like 50/40/6/4 for the four themes and Happy Haunts was pretty close and I'm hoping we'll get a stuff pack or game pack with supernatural nonsense. Now let's not repeat the 'too much content not enough content for three new occults." That Sims 3 Supernatural had but more bringing in the ideas it had. We fantasy players have about 3 packs with fun content Realm, Vampires, and JA with overt fantasy themes but with how popular Haunts was maybe we can also get Grim Reaper as an interactive career and seance tables? What you guys think?
  • I didn’t start playing the Sims for occult’s but I sure as hell stayed because of them
  • Im an occult player but im not really like the theme as it wont contain new lifestate but instead allowing sims to roleplay as soothsayer or grimrepaer. if it contains improved ghost lifestate i'd be interested.

    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.


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

    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).
