Would You Like More Occults??

More occults would be great! I always played with them in The Sims 3, and I would love to see more added to The Sims 4 too! It would be so much fun to play with werewolves and fairies again. They were some of my favorites. Zombies were also pretty cool.

I'd love to see Fairies make a return.

The Sims never claimed it was a "realistic" life simulator. :/
If I want to play the life of a celebrity vampire crime boss who owns a restaurant and is married to a black widow mermaid who paints portraits for a living, the game will let me do that.

I never claimed Sims branded itself to be ultra-realistic, but anyone can see it still needs some quality of life improvements with the life stages.

i play with occults but i include them on realistic gameplay, i don't understand this division between realistic and occult players. the Sims have always included "fantasy" on their games, avoiding it is avoiding part of what makes the franchise.
well this is my opinion but really this whole vs thing is quite annoying :/

It's not really an us vs them thing to me either. I just want more realistic stuff.

it wasn't a vs thing but i've seen a lot of arguments from realistic players & occult players so it's what came to mind when reading your comment, and also the nerfs to occults which i despise, but i may have overreacted.

i think ts4 devs try to please everybody but get stuck half the way and so they leave a lot of players unhappy and with the "this game lacks something, feels incomplete" kind of feeling. i believe if they got more budget and more time they would be able to properly deliver to pretty much all kind of players.

Only because I'm a realism player.
They ought to fix the game first, and then add more BASE GAME gameplay. Maybe then there can be more occults.
Actually, they ought to hire more people so they can both fix the game and also release new content.

It's been a thing since the first ever sims game.

It's fine if it doesn't appeal to you, but the appeal is that it is a life sim.

I'm not a rich celebrity, but sometimes I want to live that life in the sims for me.

In the same way, I may want to simulate a life as a witch, or a vampire.

Life doesn't have to be normal, and it's been this way since the sims 1 with ghosts, magic, aliens etc.

Sure. At the least, let's round out the big three and give the werewolf fans what they want. They've been very patient.

I don't think it is us vs them either for occult vs. realistic play. However, some occult things seemed to be toned down after people complained about them.
I just like the occults, and that actually how I got into the Sims, with Sims 2 being my first series for the franchise. I would just love to see the occult mixed in kind of like how they did it with the Sims 2, where you seek out the occults and became a member depending on the pack you had.

Yup I'd rather have you especially go out the way to interact with them or keep them in their own dlc alltogether.

Sims 3 had an entire pack dedicated to the supernatural, with the exception of Vampires who appeared in that pack and another pack. It gave the option to the player whether to pick up the pack our not. It is one of the first packs I got when I bought Sims 3.
Also, for the Sims 2 thing, I mentioned it, because it kept most players kind of happy. For example, a player who didn't want supernatural stuff in their game could kind of ignore that occult. Seeking out the occult makes it kind of nice, because you actively worked for it. Want to me a werewolf? Befriend the Leader of the Pack in the Pets expansion! It also came with the benefit of being able to train pets better, but human Sim relationships took a hit. There were other things that the occults offered that were fun too, and you had to seek them all out.
I like Sims 4 occults, and how they are mixed into some packs, I just wish that you could do more with mages with realm of magic, instead of it being more or less only with the world they go to. You can have your mage do stuff in the normal world, but it would have loved to see it pushed more.
I feel that the occult in Sims 4 is kind of taking a backseat to the other stuff, but I really enjoy what we do get, and wish that we will see more in the future.

Who said witches, vampires, werewolves, fairies, aliens, mermaid, unicorns... aren't real? ??

Yes I did like supernatural was in it's own thing. Annoyed it was in nightlife pack (what does that have to do with vampires???) but so grateful for toggles. Witches in TS2 though are annoying, i need to find a mod to push them out because they always show up on my lots lol.

Yeah I know it's been that way since inception. Just if I were doing it it wouldn't have them at all lol. Just like if you were responsible for it you'd have as much as you could. Like i said I don't mind it as dlc I just wish TS4 as a whole had more to offer in human life stages before branching out into something supernatural.
