The pufferfish ghost effect is Genius! However the rabbit and crow not so much
The pufferfish ghost effect is genius because what killed the pufferfish was the sim eating it, which in turn also killed the sim meaning that they are now bound to each other. However the same effect with a head of the rabbit or the crow appearing inside stomach of our sim makes very little sense considering that both the crow and the rabbit is still alive. The effect looks cool, but i think it could have been used for something else, like say maybe the crystal ball when they are trying to communicate with the dead. In turn i would have swap the effect for some dust clouds, claw marks and rabbit fur or crow feathers appearing around our ghost some as effects.
Halloween drop suggestions
Inspired by the Reaper's Rewards and Blast from the Past event i had some ideas for a possible halloween update/event this year that would finally bring more items for better customization for sims in general (normal and occults). CREATE A SIM: Pointy ears ✅ Fangs ✅ Miscellaneous skin colors: Pink, Orange, Purple, Yellow, Dark Red/Green, etc. Lord Lycan's hair, beard, eyebrows Snout (face painting? Skin detail?) Grim Reaper's old skin Cat/Dog ears Old witch hat Cat makeup Mermaid scales (Arms, legs, back?) Finger webs Alien antennae Extra eyes Vampire kids hair (for adults) New color swatches: BG Star Wars outfits (Like blue, pink, white, yellow, brown, etc.) Grim reaper hood/robe (I want Medieval reaper and also Red Riding Hood) Life of the party clothes (they're so cool for giving moodlets, but only 3 colors?) These outfits have a lot of potencial and the new colors would allow us to use it on new occasions other than parties and with other characters that related to Star Wars. GAMEPLAY Different interactions for ghosts to fulfill their needs; Ghosts floating when running.
Bracelet zoom in is annoying
I absolutely hate how it zooms in to the hands when I go to the bracelet category. It's especially annoying because it's the first category in accessories so even if it's only the socks you want to change you'll still get the zoom. It's nauseating and it's not even helpful! I like it for nails and rings but for bracelets it's definitely more annoying than useful. You can't check to see how the bracelet looks with the whole outfit, it's a nightmare to use with custom content that uses the bracelet slot, and you can't even see all of the bracelets because some of them go higher up the arm like the City Living or the Realm of Magic ones. And I can deal with the motion sickness if I have to but it infuriates me how I cannot even zoom out! Why does the camera have to be stuck that way?! I wish that instead of the game zooming in instantly when you go to accessories/bracelets, you'd have to manually zoom in yourself. The zoom can stay automatic for rings and nails, but I think it's very important that I can zoom out when I want even in those categories.
Fantasy/Sci-Fi/etc. Themed Packs
With EbN most of the supernatural Life States are in Sims 4. I would of course like more but a general satisfaction that if you have RoM/V/W/EbN you finally almost have the equivalent to Sims 3 Supernatural. Sims 3 Supernatural (my first Sims 3 pack) is what got me hooked on buying all Sims 3 packs and almost the entire Sims 3 store—so that is why I mention it. But because I am a fantasy/sci-fi based player, non-fantasy/sci-fi packs and packs that do not compliment fantasy/sci-fi type themes don't interest me much—so that means there are more packs I rather skip/not buy than buy (but I am also aware many players feel the opposite too). At least that is what I found in Sims 4, it is easier to skip packs in Sims 4 than Sims 3. Also funny enough, I had no interest in the Journey to Batuu (I mean I probably would like the CAS and Build by the rest of the pack I have zero interest), just the Star Wars universe doesn't really have a place in my Sim worlds (but I might buy it (on sale), if they add a Dystopian EP/GP). With this, new packs are really going to have to impress me to buy, otherwise I need hard convincing just to buy packs when they are on sale. So here are some idea for packs that might interest fantasy/sci-fi/themed game style players and may or may not interest non-fantasy/non-sci-fi/non-themed game style players. Steampunk, bring back inventing that is more tinkerer/eccentric based that can work for past, modern and (dystopian) future themed players. I loved using both Ambitions/WA and the steampunk store packs (including Midnight Hollow) to create a sort of industrial steampunk themed game. This could probably be a GP but you'd wow me if you did a EP. Medieval, also a fan of Dragon Valley and baby dragons. I think many players would love to be technology free (no cell phones/computers/TVs/etc.) especially for a non-ECO off the grid challenge. I'd suggest an EP, make it so you can play past/modern tech (or lack of tech). Underground and/or Underwater Biodome, my fav Sims 2 lot was a the Biodome, I still want to see that again revised. But for a fallout or future playstyle this would be so cool. Or even ocean exploration themed. Space Station/Spaceship, or some Future World. I loved Into the Future and Oasis landing! I miss nanites and the regular or dystopian versions of the future world. Whimsical, I loved the Looking Glass/Wonderland store items, I sort of used Midnight Hollow and utopian future to play an Alice in Wonderland theme game. I'd love a tea party table (I loved the store tea set table). This could be a GP or very least a SP (similar to how Paranormal works) but please not a Kit (it wouldn't be enough to work with). The idea of oversized items, from being shrunk (misses oversized flowers). How to make this work for non-fantasy themed players, theme park lots/capability for themed lots, to keep fantasy Sims in certain worlds/lots similar to werewolves staying in their world. Adventure Worlds, aka Al Simhara, Shang Simla and Champs Les Sims, JA is nice but I really loved these worlds too. This is themed but not fantasy/sci-fi so more people should be able to enjoy.
