In The Defense of Happy Haunts

We need more stuff that is innovative and this comes with THREE careers with supernatural bents.

Actually, the gameplay features are just options that also have to be voted on. So they could make this pack and only include one career, or the spirit board, depending on what is most popular. The three careers aren't a definite.

I do hope this pack wins, though. Arts & crafts sounds interesting, but I think it's more likely to appear in another pack in some way than psychic/reaper/ghost stuff.

Okay only one career but a stuff pack is like 100 items and not 1 item.

we don't really have anything Arts and Crafts offer either
and i mean stuff pack that revolves around making stuff be pretty epic

but also I feel that if they went Happy Haunts it'd just have to be game pack
because meanwhile the A&C description sounded complete pack to me and I'd be down for it rn

HH made me just think that I'd like them to go more in depth with the theme if they do it
and add fortune teller things and perhaps make grimmy a full active career instead of freelance
I just don't think they can fit it in stuff pack and make me happy because it's trying to do many things
but doesn't exactly pinpoint what I want the same way as A&C does

what I won't forgive though is if community picks anything that isn't A&C or HH

I have no faith in what the community wants, because judging by the last stuff pack vote, it'll be pretty mundane. I'm all for something new and exciting, but laundry is not something I would call new nor exciting, but it's what the majority of people voted for, not the overarching eco-living theme it started with. They've learned from this at least and condensed the voting options, and I am hoping that now that we're voting for it in-game and with the influx of new simmers from the free giveaway several months ago it'll bring in newer opinions than from the ones who congregate this forum.

We'll not get three careers in one SP. Many people seem to misunderstand this and think we'll get all items listed but we will not.

You will have the opportunity to rank the features within the themes, and then rank the themes themselves. The top-ranked theme and the top-ranked feature within that theme will become the core of our new Stuff Pack!

Also, we already have a Haunted lot trait. Unbelievable that they try to even resell that one.

I agree. And I also think both of these things deserve a gamepack. There is so much they can do with both of these, ESPECIALLY the paranormal theme. Can you imagine ALL of these amazing paranormal things in one good gamepack?!!!!!!! It does sound innovative and different.
I honestly think both of these are too good for a stuff pack. But no one can be sure what we are getting in the future so I had to vote for happy haunts! :'(

I don't think it's going to win honestly but I'm hoping that it comes close enough that they decide to still do a paranormal theme in the future.

The supernatural aspect of The Sims is why I play this game. If there weren't occult life states and out of the box careers, I would not play The Sims, it's as simple as that. For hyper realism, I go to this place called outside and tend to all my realistic desires there. LOL I use The Sims as a way to write fantastical stories, and that means, I need fantastical creatures and out of the box careers, like the Grime Reaper and Ghost Hunting freelancing careers. :D

I think the Arts and Crafts pack is cute, and I do want those elements in the game, too, I just desire the supernatural features more. I'm crafty in real life, so for me, I'd rather do my own needlework than watch my sim do it. That's just my personal take on it, other people are naturally going to have a different perspective.

I would be happy with either the Haunts one or the Arts and Crafts. I really wish there was some way we could have them both.

Simmers of the world, unite! Let's make them release both A&C and HH lol
