I am someone who does not like occults in my game. I still own the occult packs because I like the world, BB and CAS items and get plenty of use out of them. I think it's fine for people to want occult stuff in the game and for EA to release occult specific packs, I just prefer them to add an option in the menu to toggle occults on/off. That way everyone can enjoy having the packs in their game in the way that they prefer.
But there were player controlled triggers in the Vampire pack it's something I just couldn't get across to some who complained about vampires coming to the door late at night and coming in to bite their Sims. It was all because they went ahead and studied Vampire Lore...that was a major trigger, so was the making garlic wreaths. But no amount of common sense would convince people their vampire populations were caused by how they decided to play the pack and trigger vampires popping in or coming by the Sim house and the player making the Sim answer the door.... now they are nerfed and boring. I don't understand the selfishness of some who knew the pack was about Vampires...galore, but bought the packs anyways and decided it should be nerfed because they (maybe not you) like the world and the assets in buildbuy, and CAS.
It was rather simple for me, I'm not a fan of Pets of any type in The Sims..never have been, since TS1 and TS2, I have not purchased any Pet DLC, in TS3 or TS4 because I let others have their wishes and I don't want strays in my games though I love pets in real life, so no need for me to spoil their fun just because there wasn't a toggle and or I wanted some CAS stuff or world...
These discussions always forget about players like me who play many different save games. Some are realistic and some are not. I bought vampires because I want vampires, but not in every save.
Also I’m one of those people who has complained about break ins. No one ever believes me that I got break ins without interacting with vampires or vampire lore skill. I had one save where they broke in almost every night. And yes I mean actual break ins, not just them standing at the door. Maybe it was bugged, I don’t know. But it did happen and I’m tired of experiences like this being dismissed as people not understanding the game mechanics. Just to be clear, I never asked for vampires to be nerfed (they also were never nerfed in my game which was my point back then when I was complaining about the break ins) All I ever asked for was a toggle to turn them off.
