This argument that The Sims is a “real life simulation, go play fantasy games somewhere else” might be supportable if the game was just now adding supernatural elements. But, since they’ve been there from the beginning, it’s odd for players to make the assumption that the game is something it’s never been. Toggles would be ok, but I think they’re unnecessary since most of the supernatural gameplay requires some in-game trigger. Don’t want alien abductions? Don’t take a spaceship to Sixam or contact aliens. Don’t want mermaids? That one’s easy. You have to hunt hard to find them. Don’t want ghosts stopping by at all hours? Don’t set the Spooky lot trait. Don’t want Guidry and Specters keeping you agitated all night? Don’t place a haunted house, or…just don’t buy Paranormal in the first place. Don’t want Spellcaster drama? Don’t send your sim to The Magic Realm. Don’t want Vlad showing up at your house and draining your sim? Don’t study vampire lore, avoid the vampire lot traits, set your locks to keep them out, and you’ll never see him. Or, once again, don’t buy a game pack named “Vampires” since it might actually, you know, include vampires.
But,but, but…..CAS and BB! We want the stuff! When you buy the stuff, you get the gameplay, as well. Buying Vampires for the Victorian assets was your choice. I love some of the CAS items in Get Famous. I don’t like the fame/celebrity system. I didn’t buy the pack and then demand that the core gameplay be nerfed into oblivion because that would not be fair to those who purchased that pack for the gameplay. I chose not to buy the pack, at all. I can always go CC shopping. They can never get back the gameplay they paid for.
