Possible occult hint?
This is possibly/probably a reach, but I saw this ad on my homepage for a new year sale, didn't think much of it at first but then I noticed all the sims were references of occults or occult packs. Fi...

Honestly, I'd take just about any occult at this point I'm so starved for them. Even if they do only get the mermaid/alien treatment. (Though of course I would prefer the Vampire and Spellcaster treatment) I just don't want to have to wait another full year until we get a new occult, especially when we occult players are already so shoved aside as it is.
I love both werewolves and faeries and as long as we get both, don't really care which one we get first but I am slightly afraid EA might take the Tinkerbell route with the latter, so I'm leaning more in favor of werewolves first for that reason alone. I don't really expect that we'll get proper fae, but if they went more Maleficent with the different types of Moor Fairies and Dark Fey, I wouldn't be too disappointed at least. And well that would be much better than Tinkerbell like sprites.
I love lighter Victorian/Tinkerbell fairies as well as dark fae, so I hope we can get some customization there.
I want us occult fans who like more light-hearted occults have opportunities as well. Let those of us who like light-hearted fairies like Tinkerbell have them, too, please.
Oh, I don't mind if the Victorian/Tinkerbell faeries are a type of fae that can be created. I just don't want them to be the only kind of faeries we get. Sorry I should have been more clear in my comment.
Oh, I see! Sorry for my defensiveness. I sometimes see these fantasy occult threads and I often see lighter-hearted vampires or lighter-hearted occults often put down in these kinds of threads or are not seen as “real” occults, so I had a reacted incorrectly in my misunderstanding. I apologize for that. ?
Yes, I would love a variety of occults, too! ?? From light-hearted ones to darker-themed ones.
No need to apologize. It was totally just a misunderstanding. And I can honestly understand the defensiveness, so there are no hard feelings on my part at all. :smile:
And while I can't speak for everyone, I think a lot of the "not real occults" argument stems more from the fact that a lot of us associate the term "light-hearted" with the nerfing trend that happens to occults rather than the actual species. I mean I have seen quite a few people ask for elves in addition to fae, and others even mention things like unicorns and improved plant sims. So I would assume that it has more to do with the nerfing than anything else. A lot of anti-occult people who want nothing to do with them in their games still buy the packs dedicated to occults only to later cry and complain so much that the devs end up turning the occult activity down. And usually it ends up being turned down so low that those of us who do want the occult stuff in our games can barely notice it unless we are actively playing the occults at all times and directing their movements.
I've used the term before to describe mermaids, not because of their light-heartedness but because they're so underdeveloped and you barely notice them doing their own thing. :/ If they had perk trees or selectable powers that we even half as in-depth as that of vampires and spellcasters, I would consider them real occults indeed. I mean mermaids are fun when you're actively playing with them, but unless you're super close to a Sim who is a mermaid or know who the mermaid townies in Sulani are, you don't really notice them. I'd like to be randomly playing in Sulani and to be chatting with a Sim only to realize that they're a mermaid and for it to catch me off guard. Because it would be a happy surprise to me and I would be excited by it. But the way mermaids were developed as it is now... they seem almost non-existent. Same with plant sims which I literally forget are in the game.
So if you ever see me personally say "not real occults" I mean they're so underdeveloped it doesn't even seem like I'm playing with a different life state other than just a normal human sim and I'm sure some people feel the same way.
