I wish ghosts needs were not just renamed normal sim traits. They could have had more unique ghosty needs like 'Remembrance' they need Sims to remember them or they will have their second 'death' when they become forgotten.

We probably will not get mermaids or aliens fixed as they're not base game. Doing the Ghosts this way means those who hate occults with a passion can just skip over this pack like they do with all the other occults. I'd love them getting skill trees or just another world/special lots or something just for them but they were put in when the loudest simmer were realism players meaning they were token occults to tied us over. I'll toss unicorns & servos under that bus too - they're shoved in the pack in such a way to not inconvenience realism players and for once we finally got a EP of occults and it's better than all the realism packs for once. Is it perfect? No. I've encountered some pretty frustrating bugs involving managing households in the few days I've been playing. But most of the stuff I was worried would need iorning out like reincarnation and the bucket list (Something people have nagged for since sims 2) as they ovehaul some of the UI ect are surprisingly solid. The stuff isn't in your face and feels a little less like a background feature unlike Growing Together which is all background features.... and there's more to do and interact with than Love Struck that's main draw is the dating app and date tweeks. Could it be better? Of course. But I'm happy so far that the biggest draw mechanics of this pack are functional and do indeed change how gameplay works while being fully intergrated unlike being just a side grade/add on you might touch once or twice. While my hopes aren't up for fairies & zombies (zombies less so due to strangerville's possesed bring zombie like) being fantastic packs at least seeing how they have made Ghosts more interesting, made vampires & werewolves more compelling (and chaotic) my hopes for a fun pack for fairies is slightly higher than it would be if we do get them and hopes that Island living & Get to work get refreshes & those refreshes bring something good for Mermaids & Aliens. 🤞 if not and this is the only occult EP we get and the rest are GPs then well I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts.

Exactly. As someone who had a father who knew how to get the price he wanted out of items, this is EXACTLY what he taught me to do. You post something online for half to 2/3rds more than the price you want, someone low balls around the price you're asking for, and boom. you've made what you want and they think it's a good deal. This is the same deal, with a tweak, they are saying it's $40, but then giving you the option to buy multiple things with it for $40 instead which makes it look more appealing. IMO, that's really predatory of companies to do. Individual people I can kinda give some pass too, there are people out there that will ask for a 1,000 dollar PC for 50. But in this case, when EA is purposefully making dlc purchased individually cost 1,000+ only to give us bundles to make it "cheaper" so we still overspend on dlc that is mediocre at best. And for a game that needs work in hundreds of other places, it's kinda ass that they only prefer to work on what they want while still force feeding us dlc..

okay here’s where we have the problem: “why do simmers repeatedly buy broken or low quality packs?” as FGG says, this pack has some of the best build/buy we’ve ever seen. it also contains a lot of gothic and victorian stuff, a pretty big niche within the sims community. these items and worlds will be used by youtubers, and viewers will want to download their builds that contains these items, without having to replace every item; modders will use the meshes and gameplay of objects to creat CC that requires the pack to function. add on general FOMO, and the fact that a lot of really good community-requested features are usually shoved into these packs (thinking For Rent bringing us townhouses, Growing Together bringing kids bikes), simmers always end up buying for one reason or another. i gave up buying packs years ago and was playing base game on console. desperately wanting to play any life sim, i made a victorian save. you can see where this is going. BG is dogshite, and even my imagination was struggling with the clothes, mostly. so i bought vampires on sale, for the victorian clothing, with the plus of being able to make my vampire oc. i barely ever play vampires 💀 it went downhill from there and now i can see myself buying this pack when it goes on sale, just bc of the great CAS and BB. it sucks really but it’s either pay or don’t play. i mean even the early purchase incentives… a working music box?? i would love that. no wonder fomo takes over, we’re so deprived of simple features that we clamber at anything.

If i didnt see them use the items all the time, i wouldnt feel like i need to have them myself. This is mostly a problem with kits, i never wanted to support kits, but builders use kits like crazy and it shows me what im missing out on so i end up having to get them just because i want like two items in the pack (im looking at you blooming rooms 😑) I also had 0 interest in lovestruck but i bought it at full price because as soon as i saw builders using the items, i had to have them. And guess what i actually think lovestruck is an annoying edition to my game! My sims is always autonomously flirting with her husbands parents because she finds them attractive!

@@insertchannel666I'm sorry but some of us genuinely are enjoying this pack. Personally all of the occult themed packs (strangerville included) are the best gameplay you'll get in the damn game. I'm sorry but anyone saying growing together is better than this should have a rethink, because unlike that pack which was all background features & infants that were base game update btw, the bucket list, updated ghost features & rebirth mechanics of this pack are really beautifully intergrated into natural gameplay progression over the course of you sims life. Sure, it's not perfect, I have encountered my fair share of bugs but none of which involves this gameplay system change which I can't say for some previous expansions we've had especially ones people claim are 'must haves' like university & highschool where all your sim does is study with the occasional side activity. Plus the bucketlist is something people have practically NAGGED for since sims 2. To intergrate it into a sims soul journey is just a very nice way to put it in rather than making it a checklist with no benefits or incentives for doing it. Plus, if you have other packs you have more things that can be on that bucket list from them you might not have had a sim do yet, especially some of the more harder ones. While I may not personally like certain packs I know others who think they're the bee's knees and actually find them enjoyable. I'm also not going to tell them they're playing a sandbox game wrong either - it's personal preference. But I'll be damned is laundry, cleaning & watching sims study for hours of playtime is considered better gameplay😅 I'd rather this pack personally as an Occult player.

EA shows no signs of respecting its consumers, so I feel the only thing that will change the course of The Sims is a complete and total splintering of Maxis' people from EA.

It's so interesting, because one of my fav games of the franchise is Sims Medieval and it's pretty different from any main game. There you basically also have to complete daily tasks and do quests. But it's fun and unique, the tasks are very different depending on type of character you are playing and quests are much more rewarding. It doesn't feel like a chore just for the sake of making the player busy. So the idea of making a player complete tasks isn't novel to this franchise by any means, but here and in other sims 4 packs all of it just sounds extremely tedious. edit: oh yeah, and this game is open world just like sims 3, so not having to wait 8 billion loading screens and being able to roam the world freely definitely helps.

I think the issue with task-based gameplay in the Sims 4 is that it's not OPEN WORLD. So if you have to go places, it's loading screen after loading screen (which with mods can take up to 5-10 minutes), and nothing is exciting about it. You just see your sim going around completing things and it doesn't feel super immersive, because you're not really involved, you just tell them where to go. You do a lot while simultaneously doing nothing.

My own experience: this is the only sims 4 pack I ever pre-ordered and the only sims 4 pack I bought while it wasn't on sale, I have zero regrets. I've only played the sims 4 for about three days after downloading the pack, and it's the most fun I remember having with the game in a while. The macabre trait is my #1 favourite trait in the entirety of the sims 4, it feels like a trait I'd actually have and I love the new pose sims do with it! I had my sim join the reaper career and so far it's been a lot of fun (especially since I got to flirt and make out with Grim after I completed all the work for the day.) The greatest part for me that I'll never forget was when it was near the end of my sim's shift, Grim started fucking him in the shower, and as soon as they were done, the shift ended and he got a promotion XD that memory will never leave me! So far, I've only scratched the surface of everything this pack has to offer and I already feel satisfied with it. I haven't even played with a ghost sim yet, I haven't gone through the rebirth process yet, I've barely done anything with the tarot cards yet, I haven't done anything related to Alice yet, and so on. There's still so much more for me to do regarding this pack that I'm not gonna get to for a while because I'm not speedrunning it, I'm taking my time and enjoying this pack to the fullest. All I know is that I can't remember the last time I felt so happy, but that's just me. Also, the pet crow is absolute baby and I love it so much!!!!!! Honestly, I think the only thing I'm disappointed about is that I can't combine a wedding and a funeral event :( I want my sims to get married while there's a dead body at the venue people are crying over a the same time. Oh well, maybe someone will make a mod for it! (Typing this out, the funniest shit just came to mind. What if someone was marrying a ghost sim who recently died so they held the wedding and funeral at the same time and the ghost sim who is technically "walking down the isle" is their body in a casket with other people carrying it like the coffin dance meme XD)
@LeviWithV2 ай бұрын
Maybe you can make a wedding venue featuring a casket/grave? Have your ghost sims' urn on a pedestal next to the arch, something like that ? If there's an open casket in bb, maybe add that ?

It added funerals which is also the first time ever in a Sims game It upgraded the mourning system moodlets, not only for deaths but also for losing a job, losing a romantic partner and a long date friend It added tarot with a very fun gameplay to find the cards (Tarot from BB is different, it has less options) Reintroduced Cemeteries (Which is kinda... meh... since they were always base game tho) Gave us Ghosts Quests around the World (LORE) and much more It costed 40,00 Dollars/Euros? YES... do you need to pay that? NO!

It’s what happens when you have a basically the only life sim on the market with its style of gameplay with 0 competitors.

Yes their game is accessible on many platforms and weaker computers but that hinders them in a lot of ways when it comes to innovation and sustainability. And the only reason why sims 4 even has a high player base at the moment is due to the F2P base. And as much as they like to act like they are I don’t think their packs are selling as frequent as of late.

@@SpookyNugs I don't know why you think I'm talking down to you. I'm pretty much agreeing with you. I believe their sales of packs are relatively low. This is why we see the early purchase incentives and (as I said before) the high price. I believe they see it as they have one opportunity to get a player to purchase from them by buying a pack, and in doing so, they also intend to recoup the cost of the base game. I'm aware the base game wasn't always free. It was it becoming free that brought me back to the franchise after not having played since the later days of Sims 2. But it's irrelevant here, because we are talking about a pack released when the base game is free. If the base game was still not free, I think this would be a game pack. As it is, we've haven't seen game packs since the base game went free. Instead, every gameplay pack released since has been at a price point where it can replace money lost by making the base game free. I'm not an EA apologist at all. I don't agree with this pricing. I would suggest to anyone who does want a pack to wait for a sale where it is heavily reduced (and some of them are still not worth that). However, it doesn't hurt to try and understand why they may be behaving as they are.

The fun factor is so high for me. And I usually don’t even like occults. I like realistic gameplay. But the ghost stuff is really fun.

is the pack worth 40 dollars? no, but none of the packs are worth the amount they cost. I do however have sm fun with it and I also think it's one of the best packs out there! Also, as someone who loves anything supernatural the world is a dream come true

@@neville2308 so, im really curious about the no snow thing. If you use the weather machine thingy from seasons to change the weather and make it snow, does it work? Or does it not allow you to use that object for snow in that world specifically?

I agree with some sentiments here but I think the pack just isn't for you. I been on the "EA are lazy scammers" train for as long as I can remember, and I agree with pretty much every critique SatchOnSims has (he gives almost all the packs extremely low scores) but this one he gave a high score, a first in a LONG time. It's the first pack that actually has me playing through a pack fully and not just picking small things from the pack that I'll MAYBE stick with down the line.

At least the pack wasn't too buggy.... According to other reviews, but then again, the pack just came out.

it definitely has bugs: the Undertaker career gives the same card every shift, the funerals can get buggy, and your normal bugs with sims not doing what they're told aren't going anywhere. but there are actually good things to say about the pack too so you're not seeing that much negativity
