Pack Refresh - Spooky Stuff

Sul Sul! What would a refresh of Spooky Stuff look like?

My ideas:
EP integration - use pumpkins grown in Cottage Living and add this type of party to Seasons calendar for Halloween type party
Add spooky aspiration of scaring as many sims as possible and living a spooky, eerie, life!

Any other ideas?

  • I'm currently playing with this pack and here are some things I wish there were included without needing cc:

    1. Pumpkin/Ghost basket/bucket for toddlers and children as accessories.
    2. More costumes for children and toddlers.
    3. Spooky clothes options for pets.
    4. Fill the food fountain with spooky bloody punch and eat it with candy.
    5.a Please fix trick or treat so my sim's children can fulfill the holliday tradition (and possibly toddlers too). Add an interaction for children/toddlers to trick or treat.
    5.b Trick or treating could possibly give your sims some candy on their inventories. Maybe even some choco-berries, and caramel apples?
    5.c Friends of your children could call your sim to ask if they want to go trick or treating together. They would show up in costumes on your doorbell as a group.
    6. Mischief spooky interactions. Toilet paper prank on mail boxes. Offer "bitter/spicy" candy instead of normal candy. Throw rotten eggs. Scare using fake spider.
    7. Viewing at scary decorations triggers different moodlets. Playful, and/ or Scared. Toddlers could get a sad moddlet and start crying. Children could get scared more often than playful. Teens and adults would almost always get a playful moodlet.
    8. Different activities to do apart from craving pumpkin. Maybe crafting masks and paper witch/princess hats on the activity table for kids and toddlers to wear, or to tell spooky stories around the chimney.
    9. More options that could be included in the Spooky spirit tradition, such as watching horror movies, confess fear of vampires, buy candy on food stalls, cook spooky cookies and zombie cake, etc.
    10. Ghost could be seen at different public spaces during spooky day. They could autonomously scare or prank at sims on this day. Hehe ?

    I love this idea so much, since I love playing with this feature in my saves! I usually give my sims the "great storyteller" trait, and send them camping to tell spooky stories around the campfire, or wait till spooky day comes to tell spooky stories to their children or friends, but the animations are always a little disappointing... They can't even tell spooky stories if not lighting a fire which it's weird. I would love to see something more according to the theme. I would totally love to send my sims to a graveyard at night and sit them together telling ghost stories with lanterns while waiting for a ghost to show up behind their backs ? Whooooohhohh...
    That sounds like the perfect spooky day! If I could pick just a single thing, it would be this.

    Great Storytellers would always succeed on this interaction, with a small chance of failing.
    Clumsy sims could flashlight their eyes ? and sometimes run without batteries and fail this interaction making others laugh.
  • I wouldn't want a refresh of every pack. Just the ones that desperately need improving/fixing, and then move onto base game improvements/new packs. Spooky Stuff doesn't really need it in my opinion
