I'm a bit on the realism side of things. I don't really use the occult life state at all. It was fun at first, but then it seemed like every other pack we had out already. It didn't really change the game at all and just felt like a new coat of paint over the old coat. I like family building and all of that jazz, not playing with magic.

Then don't buy those packs. No one forces you to.
I understand that people like realism in their Sims game, and I respect it. I don't find Laundry that fun in TS4 and I don't understand why so many people voted for it, but apearently they did. I got the pack for the Clothes and the Decor.
I enjoy Vampires and I thing they are among the best things added to TS4 so far.
That is how opinions differ, and that is a good thing. I respect you likeing laundry and not likeing vampires. I just happen not to share that taste.
Until toddlers and Parenthood, many people were complaining about lack of family gameplay, and I understand that. The Lack of such content was never a game breaker for me, and I rarely use anything from parenthood. Lack of Magic was a gamebreaker for me. Others could not play the game without Toddlers. And I respect that. While I do not use parenthood that much, I am glad it exists. Not for myself, as I don't really bother about it, but for those who want and need it.
All I ask of you and others like you is to return that respect.
I am sure you would feel disrespected too, if I was to comment on a thread about freeing babies from their cribs something like "We don't need another crappy realistic family pack. Sims is and always was a fantasy game! give us witches already!"
I don't know if others do it, as I am not that much on such threads.
