@SimplyJen I didn’t realize they had another thread for that.
MCCC might actually make some of what the original poster wants possible.
I was trying to offer suggestions that didn’t require mods because I didn’t know that they were willing to use them.
I think MCCC has some options for toggling bar nights and other useful functions that won’t humanize all sims but will remove certain occult encounters. I’d definitely recommend MCCC for the packs that introduce occults.
I don’t think the “Sprites” are as easy to toggle.
For Island Spirit Sprites, you just need to not use the Island Spirits Lot Trait.
For Seasonal encounters, just don’t use the traditions associated with them. You can go into the Calendar to create your own Holidays and control what happens.
I can’t exactly remember all the different “Occult” Sprites and the way you can encounter them at the moment. However, a lot of them are tied to Lot Traits, Holiday Traditions, and etc… there are things you can do in the Sims 4 that I rarely see utilized because I don’t think people are even aware that it’s a possibility….
Not going to lie… there are many many things “occult” and “non-occult” that are hidden features you have to do something very specific to encounter because they don’t naturally appear in the game.
The Sulani Mana Trait and Elementals are just one example of something in the Sims 4 that is very complex to encounter and actually impossible to do without an Island Living Trait.
