Let's start discussing Witches
Edit: I've just realised there is a much much older thread discussing this too. Here is the link to it: https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/680765/witches-in-sims-4/p1 With all those ideas f...

I see a lot of ambitious input and I just wanna say this:
Witches have never bombed. Makin' Magic was loved, Sims 2 Witches were loved, Supernatural was loved (of course, save for those that dislike all things fantasy). Witches have always always always had a really solid base and a solid formula.
With that said, while new ideas are surely always welcome and valued, my #1 request is that EA/Maxis doesn't tamper with a formula that works. Give them powerful spells that act like powers, give them an extensive alchemy skill, then focus on if any of these new ideas people have posted can be included without much hassle. The powers and spells plus the alchemy skill alone has so much potential, and I'm sure it's why most people love witches in the first place. I'm not opposed to new ideas at all, but I do hope that if and when they develop such a pack, they don't put the cart before the horse and let ambitious of new features lead them to neglect the tried-and-true witch formula. Please just focus on the basic witch premise we've always gotten first, then look into new features and improvements if possible.
Having said that, yeah I have nothing against any of the ideas people have listed, it's just I read the thread up to this point and everyone has a drastically different new idea. Plenty of new ideas and plenty of interesting ideas, but at the end of the day I think the core concept should be handled first.
