Didn't we get used to that?

I've never played an occult sim other than a vampire in TS3. And I liked him. But in the end an occult sim would make TS4 a "game" when it is really a "simulation" based on real people. And that's why Occult takes a back seat. They're not real!!! Lets be honest most people would rather simulate real people other than occult. That's a topic for my next discussion.

I would say occult players and realistic players are about the same amount, I know they are not real but its a game, some occult players would say what's the fun in playing a realistic game I've got this outside the game, we want aliens to abduct our sims, vampires breaking in and our sims to have magical powers, we need more occults just like realistic players need more

Some of us like to mix it up and play occult sims in one save, realistic households in another save. Sometimes we even have both in the same save.

it's a game! it need to be more fun than the real life haha

Agree, it's a game whose theme is life simulation/parody.

I just want fairies and Werewolves for at least 2022

It's a social simulation game based on our society (societies since Sims 4 expanded beyond American culture), it's a dollhouse. When kids play with dolls, sometimes they imagine that their dolls have powers or are from other planets, the Sims does exactly the same. And it was supposed to be an architecture simulation first that gives the people living the house moodlets depending on the decoration and interior design. In that case, Ocuults work as weel to simulate things like "how a vampire would like to live in a house full of windows and without curtains?".
The essence of The Sims itself wasn't to simulate real people, it was to simulate "Social Interactions based on the environment"

Well, I don't know what it is, but I know SimGuruJessica and at least one other SimGuru who participated in the Maxis Extra Life stream yesterday is working on an EP for the Sims 4. So there's at least one coming, and it's not just all Kits until Sims 5.

:smiley:

I wish they would tell us what is coming like they use to do back in the olden days.

Oh yeah the stream was fun and interesting. Got to learn a lot abt the behind the scenes stuff. Plus I liked when one of the gurus "grimsurudoi" was playing sims medieval and talked about the development and how different it was from the main franchise. And he also talked about when they decided to add religion and alcohol "mead" (I think). I never played sims medieval but I might try it one day. I hope they make a second one.
