I'm sorry for posting yet another thread about supernatural sims, but it's something that I wanted to get off my chest, ya know? Ever since the magical hints were left in the laundry day pack my eyes lit up. I felt excited to feel some sort of semblance of my favorite life state within the game! I then started to dive into google to try to find any more evidence that witches are coming back but I quickly found the leaks of the jungle explorer's pack. I felt... disappointed, but not because the pack didn't look interesting. In fact, I think the game pack looks amazing. It's something I'd definitely want to look into especially since we're getting skeleton maids back. It's just that my expectations were subverted in such a way that left me feeling dissatisfied. I feel like I'm overreacting. I know very well that I'm a dramatic person, but I fear that I'm falling out of love with the game. Vampires did turn things around for me, though. However, the care that went into vampires makes me wonder what witches might become if they were to be released! I dunno... I want to believe that witches will come back. Spellcasting has been in all previous versions of the sims, so I'm still trying to clench onto that hope! I'm not sure how I'll feel if witches never get released in the Sims 4 however, I refuse to keep wondering. I don't want to convince myself that they're not coming.

Who knows! Maybe they will release a Witches GP in the future... After all, Jungle Adventure will be the second vacation-themes GP for the game, so maybe they'll also release a second supernatural-themed GP as well!

i am pretty sure they'll bring back witchesi want werewolves and fairies back too

I feel like EA could end up making a lot of money if they released GPs related to supernatural life states, so I have a feeling that they might do it. It just might end up being a while between each one? I also want the supernatural life states back, I loved the witches from TS3, and I'd love to have my characters that are canonically magicals to be able to do things like spell casting and potions and such.

Ooh me too! My favorite ones so far have been the Sims 2 ones. I loved how they had a separate skill line and you actually got to research new spells and create all kinds of cool things in the cauldrons. Hope we get a great version of them and the sooner the better! <3

My only question is, do you really want witches as a discrete life state?My sim can already perform magic with the voodoo doll. I can see the appeal of magic as an equivalent to vampire powers, where you have to raise your magic rank to gain points to unlock new magic powers. But I can also see the appeal of having magic be a skill (or a set of skills) that anybody can learn, so long as they have the skills and the right items in their inventory.The big advantage to skill based magic over lifestate based magic is that it keeps the lifestate issue a lot simpler. Instead of having to work out rules for hybrid werewolf alien witches, the magic part is easy to apply to anybody who ranks up the skill.

Considering the clues that were indeed present in the laundry pack, I'd say there's a pretty big chance of us getting another supernatural game pack soon. But yeah, what does "soon" even mean in with TS4 :wink: . If they are as fleshed out as the vampires, they will definitely be worth the long wait.

Don't worry, I'm pretty sure that we will get witches one day as they have been part of The Sims since the very first part. But I really hope that it's going to be a GP because in my eyes GPs are of a much higher quality than EPs.

But I want them to be a complete lifestate like vampires, not just a bunch of magical rituals every sim can learn. It's more fun to see how non-magical sims get sick over the smell of the strange substance in a witch's cauldron or how they get their hands jammed in the spellbook as it automatically closes when touched by a "muggle". Furthermore I want an own magical world / town, appropriate new lot types that wouldn't work without a lifestate and new ambitions. And I want magical sims to be customizable in CAS and also regarding their powers and weaknesses (like vampires).

I'd rather they did a compromise wherein we get both a Witch lifestate and a Magic skill for everyone to learn, not just Witches. There's already a similar structure present in Vampires, where there is a Vampire lifestate and a separate Vampire lore skill that everyone can learn, but vampires get the most benefit out of it. Having a separate Magic skill can be far more beneficial (and more superior) for Witch lifestates that naturally have magic in their veins than say some random Sim trying it out.

I miss watches too. :( I miss wearing one on my arm to tell the time. I already have several manual ones, but I really need a digital one-maybe one that glows in the dark and is waterproof as well...

Oh!...you meant witches? Whoops! Wrong post...Sorrys :s

I want witches too but with the different aspects of them in each culture!! I mean western witches are fine with their wands and cauldron and theirr broom however I want some types of voodoo witch, or african based witches, asian based witches or at least being able to form a coven (if not as a special group in get together)!! I want very dark magic too (summon spirits for example) and super light magic (healing and everything)!!

If it's fairies I want them to be more historically and culturally accurate (for example with the fear of changelllings), being associate with natural elements, being a fairy godmother which could give special skills for the baby as soon as he/she grows up; talking to animals and plants!! I wish that they put back the fairy houses too but this time we'll be able to go inside!!

For werewolves It'll be awsome if we can choose between a wolf or a tiger (weretiger) like cats and dogs^^^just kidding!!!

And I want better ghosts too who don't have the same needs than a human!!

I really miss them too. I feel the packs since Vampires have been awesome, but getting that taste of Vampires and the electricity "superpower" reaction by certain sims makes me really want witches. Since they've already done the perks tree for Vampires and had some "spells," as well as a different type of tree for Fame I'm hoping it's fairly easy for them to make.

I don't usually like supernaturals in my game but I do agree you guys should at least get witches. I'm surprised they haven't released such a pack already! I bet the decor and clothing that come with a witches gamepack would be awesome!

The game feels so incomplete for me without witches! I've been waiting for them since the game had come out. I'd like a Supernatural EP with a magic academy or a magic world.
