Happy Haunts was wasted!

I do hope not all Sims will be scared of the supernatural, for example if you made Count Vlad's castle into a haunted house, it would be very strange if he walked around and got scared all the time.

Now I'm hoping we're getting the return of the Brave, Coward, Supernatural Enthusiast and Supernatural Skeptic traits. Even if they're just reward traits, they would fit in with this pack so very nicely.

Supernatural enthusiast // skeptic were two of my favorite traits! I don't know what pack they could possibly bring them back with but that was one of the few things that kinda disappointed me about RoM (even though I generally love this pack).

It's mostly non-occult players who are grumpy about the state of the pack, but I am surprised that this was delegated to the Stuff Pack Team.

However, I also think it's possible that the majority of the pack will be 'update' to our Ghosts, so really it will be more than we expected.

I wouldn't expect too many updates to the ghosts we have tbh, given that the ghosts that appear to be haunting the house in the trailer (and are appeased through the séance) look more like the SE spirits than our usual sim ghosts. Which seems a bit meh to me, if I'm being honest, because my guess is séances won't mesh well with the haunted lot trait we already have. Just a guess though.

Not sure about Ghosts themselves but it'll go very well with Haunted. Haunted currently has two effects, the first being that if sims are awake past 10PM they'll develop a tense moodlet from the lot trait. Tense basically makes a sim want to Vent, Complain, or Swear, and they can take a bath or shower to calm down. Conor is apparently updating a lot of these phobias to be scared reactions which should be a huge improvement. I hope it implements well. The other improvement will be if someone sees a ghost possessing an object, it should produce fear as well.

We've been stuck with Tense for so long it's going feel like a night and day change to see Sims scared of things for once.

I agree fear will be better than tense - although I'd really like more nuance with fear than we have with tense but I don't see that happening - but what I meant was that I don't think we'll be able to do a séance that can affect the haunted lot trait. I also really wonder how that investigator career will work - can they only do stuff in haunted houses or everywhere? Is it only with the new ghosts or the old ones too? Kinda looks to me that it only affects the new ones but we'll see of course :)
