This is the place to put casual info on the packs1.Pet Crows will be in the pack.2.Graveyards will be a lot trait in this pack. .

I'll make the first re-cap post on the first info.Trailer:Crow perch. Unclear if sims can have crows for pets or if it is a festival thing.Crows can attack sims.Tarot card readings.Sims can die in their sleep. Funeral event. It includes a funeral coffin and portrait picture of the deceased sim. Activities also include lighting candles, giving speeches etc.Wills and inheritance system it seems.Ghost cowplants?Soul's journey tab, it seems like sims discover their bucket list tasks. Completing bucket list tasks fills up the progress bar. There are 9 rewards (first is satisfaction points, last is rebirth). There's also locked 7th reward. My guess is that further progress requires the sim to become a ghost.Well of Longing and Regret: sims can toss a coin in and something happens, like a ghost coming to scare your sim. Like with Wishing Wells in Romantic Garden stuff.New kissing animation...New swimming lake, which can turn your sim into a ghost.New ghost scare interactions.Grim Reaper career. It seems to be an active career... It includes a portal of sorts... And reaping dead sims.Sims can take a peek at what's under Grim Reaper's hood.New graveyard lots. Sims can tend the graves there.Sims can have different gravestones now.Grim Reaper actually speaks here. That is so strange... Anyway, it seems like that ghostly powers can be mastered or sims can finish their unfinished business.The first blog:New world: RavenwoodIt contains 3 neighborhoods:Crow’s CrossingAn eerie haunted village.Includes the Mysterious Merchant (selling curios and collectibles), grave makers, and Try Before You Die casket sale.Includes a graveyard.Two festivals can happen there: Ravenwood Family Day and Crow's Crossing Celebration of LifeHaunted houses and ghostly guarded wishing well.Whispering GlenIncludes a crypt and Tarot Tome Shrine.Moon Revelry festival can happen there.Includes a swimmable lake. Something special happens when swimming during a full moon.MourningvaleGhosts can be found there often.Grim Reaper tends to wander there too.Sims can swim in Baleful Bog and become a ghost or transition into rebirth.Thinned Festiveil and Afterlife Anonymous meetups take place there.Soul's JourneyHelps sims to achieve rewards as they complete Wants and Aspirations.The ultimate reward is the ability to be reborn as a sim with special Burning Soul trait. This unlocks past Childhood Development Skills, Traits, and Infant Milestones, and may also find special ties to sims from their past life.When sims reborn, they can choose the age they come back as.Bucket listsSims can acquire new goals randomly depending on their traits.Sims can also use a computer or a journal to add either a random goal, a goal from a category, or a specific goal.Completing the goals will get your sim powerful rewards.Ghosts can also complete their Soul's Journey to get that ultimate rebirth.Ghost... Improvements?Ghosts can linger on as playable household members (I'm guessing they can join the household immediately, as you can already ask them to join the household)New interactions to wreak havoc or lend a helping hand.New spectral WooHoo, done by possessing objects.Playable ghost sims can be customized in CAS (Can't they already be? This needs more info!).Ghost powers that can be built.Fear and Goodwill essences that can make you money.New careers:Reaper profession (active career)Sims become Grimterns and work their way up to Reaper.Workplace: Netherworld Department of Death and 'the field' Tasks include:Reaper training with training dummy named Kenny.Maintaining scythes.Determine causes of death for reaped souls.Higher level sims can also determine which souls they reap and which they'll return to life.Souls can then be placed in the Netherworld Portal to meet the soul quota.Sims who meet the soul quota can become the Employee of the Month.Undertaker career (rabbit hole career)Sims do things like grave digging and embalming.They can also do interactions like Discussing End of Life services or Contemplating Existence.They can earn rewards like Plague Masks, a Murphy Membrane Bust, or a Corpus Commendation Plaque.Two branches: Mortician and Funeral Director.New aspiration: Ghost HistorianNew reward trait: Ghost WhispererNew book genre: Horror novelNew lot trait: Hallowed Grounds.Three new traits:MacabeChased by DeathSkepticNew skill: ThanatologyNew death: Death by Murder of CrowsWills:Sims can create wills through the new world's Town Hall, a computer, or at the Family Day Festival.Wills can be updated at any time.Sims can leave heirlooms, personal notes, funeral planning requests, and designate sims to care for their pets and/or children.Sims can also specify how they want their remains to be handled and the reactions of the sims reading the will.If the entire household passes away, they can donate the money to a charity or another household.Grief:Four grief types:DenialHolding it TogetherAngerBluesThe type depends on sim's traits and the relationship.Grief can happen by death, ending a friendship, divorce/break up, losing a job, or having a child or pet taken away.Grief takes effect after the mourning period.Sims in grief can reach out for help from other sims or attend Grief Counseling.Other sims can also help sims overcome their grief.Funerals:A customizable event where you can set the dress code and color and pick activities (14 in total)Activities include:Giving a EulogyLighting CandlesPlanting somethingServing FoodGhost of the deceased can also appear in their own funeral.Memorial Displays can be set up with the portrait of the deceased sim.Sims can select the urn or tombstone for the sim, decorate the gravesite, or leave them a message on a special memorial statue. Urns can also be placed in Crypts.Another early purchase reward.

Pet crows?? Tarot??? Oh, I’m so here for it! 😆

From the EA app:Choose your life’s goalsYoung Adult Sims and older will have Bucket Lists that fill up with goals. Some items you may choose, and some will appear for you to accept or reject. Possible Bucket List items include declaring a crafted masterpiece your life's work, WooHooing in an unconventional location while a relationship is at max, spending 24 in-game hours in a specific world, and more. Completing Bucket List items in life will unlock interactions, the Burning Soul trait, the ability to be Reborn, and more.Complete your unfinished businessIf a Sim dies with incomplete items on their bucket list and becomes a Ghost, those items will become their unfinished business. Completing the items will then unlock the options to either Move On or be Reborn, though you may also choose to have them remain a Ghost.Start overCompleting their Bucket List or Unfinished Business will give a Sim the ability to be Reborn. They will be submerged in Ravenwood's Baleful Bog before you're taken into CAS. The Reborn Sim's age and appearance will both be customizable, and you can also choose which household your Reborn Sim will join and what their relationships will be (for example, you could insert the Reborn Sim into the Goth family with Bella and Mortimer as their parents).

In there you can customize their age and appearance and choose which household they will join.Reapers' job is also to stop active hauntings.Ghost Historian Aspiration seeks to study the departed.

Seeing this, items can probably be "Heirloom Eligible" or not. It must mean that not all deco items can be passed on as heirlooms, as I first thought. I wonder if only items restricted to this EP can be passed on in a will. Hopefully crafted stuff as well, but there might be a risk that the item must be crafted after his pack was installed. Hoping I'm wrong as I was planning even for CC items to be such heirlooms.

Is there a limit to how many ghosts we can keep in the cemetery lot type lot? I mean since now that they are not really dead, and can be summoned.

Ghost powers ? Vampire-Ghost, Spellcaster-Ghost, Werewolf-Ghost...
Does it mean the game will support Hybrid occults (multiple Power UI) ?

  Hmm... Good question...
  My guess is simple: it's just another panel in the Simology panel (like the Fame Perks).
