This issue could be so easily Fixed with a toggle in the options menu, most of the realism players vs occult players drama could be solved with toggles tbh. I hope they add them at some point.
Exactly this. If players get a choice through options (fame system, NAP), lot traits (tiny living, paranormal stuff) or even objects (laundry day) then people can buy it and choose themselves if they want to use certain features or not. It would be so much better than toning down a feature for everyone.
Why does there need to be a toggle for occult focused packs though? The idea behind putting occults in their own centred packs is the toggle, it gives people the choice of opting-out of a feature they know they don't want so they have to be ADULTS and make the conscious decision to miss out on a handful of objects/items. it's just like @Sallycutecat points out in their post, and I have expressed in many of my previous posts.
If you don't like the content, don't by the pack, it's that simple. Don't go to Twitter and start harassing the devs to nerf a core gameplay feature because you don't have any self-discipline. But that's obviously too hard for some people to grasp because the sims kind of enables a weird gambling/collection mentality in people where they just "have to" buy the newest pack, even if they only like the decore. I would use my usual sware acronym here, but I won't because it's "offensive".
Well, in the case of vampires there are also those of us who bought it because we want some of our sims to be vampires... not because we want every sim we play in every save to be vampire prey on a regular basis. There could be a toggle for whether you want random vampire events or player-directed vampire play only, and that would benefit some of the occult player community as well as the realism players. I have no interest in the vampire break-ins at all.
I do wish there was more random vampire activity in Forgotten Hollow. I mean if you move a human sim to a place like that you are essentially asking for trouble. Same with Glimmerbrook and spellcasters. I get not having them all the time in every world but why not the world that came with the pack?
