I mean, that combination of packs is giving high school Vampire romance drama movie. And I’m not talking Twilight, I mean something made by Disney channel…and I don’t know about you but thats iconic

[@majjaroni]

ikr!! i love it ❤

[@annoar9776]

yes! kind of wizards of waverly place but vampires 😂

[@BernadettSuvak]

Omg, there is this weird Nickelodeon movie where the girl thinks that the main character guy is a vampire and because the guy is like the new guy in town so he goes with it and then there is a vampire hunter at the end I think I don't know, I KNOW there was a movie like this but I can't remember the name of it Please if someone else remembers the existence of this movie help me out🙏🏻 I GOT IT! It is called 'Liar Liar Vampire' Idk how this information would be useful to anybody at all though

It reminds me of the school in Persona 4 somehow.

[@jasminisabelle894]

Lol I was thinking Prom but make it Twilight :D

[@ellespoonies]

a lot of chat was suggesting vampire prom too lol it really did have that vibe! i think the reason she didn’t go for it is bc she wanted it to be more usable since the prom in hsy is hard to renovate iirc

I would say its more the vampire diares than it is twilight

[@marieduran6286]

Honestly, Forgotten Hollow needs something like this. It would be a good idea to make this and put it underground where it is disguised and only the Vampires and other occults know about it. It is like a secret club.

[@annoar9776]

yes!

[@missliss2581able]

In the save file I’m making, I’m basically doing a redo of Fangtasia from True Blood. I need to rebuild because Im not happy with my first try but it basically looks like a normal Gothic revival house on the outside but is crazy vampire nightclub on the inside lol

[@Silverfur01]

oh jeez i didnt even think of that

[@empressfreya9872]

Good idea about not showing the dress online until after the wedding. I'm in the wedding dress subreddit because I'm planning my own for next year, and like 90% of all dress regret posts can be summarized with "I showed someone my dress, they had a negative reaction, now I hate my dress". It's so easy to get influenced, especially when you already have anxiety about the wedding planning process. Just keep it close to your chest and enjoy feeling like a princess!

[@allicat-rising]

omg Kayla, I've totally built an "abandoned," run down building on this exact lot with a secret party / club space for teens in the basement!!! I feel so seen lol mind meld!

[@momomomo__]

i said this a while ago in the vod, but it's giving something you'd find in the shadowhunters universe!! i could totally see this being a hangout spot for vampires and warlocks in the outskirts of New York in TMI or in TDA as spot near the ghostmarket in LA where vampires go hang out after the markets close. my little 14 year old self was so excited watching you build this the first time around!!

[@annoar9776]

[@Sp1tfire_5316]

At the risk of sounding super weird i built a cafe/plasma donation community lot. I called it Sucks and Snacks (my mom helped me name it bc she is amazing lol) when u come in there is a bunch of cute couches with blankets and pillows, a bookcase with a blanket and pillow basket on the bottom shelf a bathroom off to the right and on the left is a door to donate plasma. Anyone who donates plasma for the local vampire community gets a discount on all drinks and treats they buy. This idea was inspired by a challenge that wanted ppl to build a community lot we dont have and I'd like to have a plasma donation center or something similar so vampires can have a place that specifically offers plasma. Another idea i had which isn't really a new lot idea but I'd like is a specific place thats kind of like a vampire lair like what spellcasters have. A location where vampires gather to learn about their history, how to survive, and duel which I'm still brainstorming ideas for

[@TiBunCosplay]

I'm so glad your dress pickup went better than mine did XD (I got married in 2022) So I got the call that my dress arrived and I went to pick it up. They opened the garment bag and I paused and asked if they grabbed the right dress because it didn't look right. They assured me that they did. I put it on and realized why it looked off. It was the wrong color. It was the ivory on nude color, I had ordered full Ivory. It was also two sizes up from what I ordered. So yeah, it had to be reordered. because of that my dress didn't get into alterations until the month before the wedding. Luckily my seamstress was my aunt who's retired and didn't have any other projects to work on, so it was still done in time for my wedding.

[@crowsinaboat]

alien restaurant and werewolf café sounds awesome :D

[@turkoizdog]

Werewolf coffee shop makes so much sense because they'd be tired from a full night transformed. And alien restaurant reminds me of the Restaurant at the End of the Universe (Douglas Adams vibes).

[@tweedlebug123]

[@spi11tmilk]

Simsie can you please do a tier list for all the jobs. I’m so tired of base game jobs & would buy a pack just for an exciting one 🙏 great video ! ❤️

[@AllanGuiHaya70]

Get to work might be a little glitchy but three new jobs is definitely worth it!! Get famous is also a good option if you want something different!!

[@Chaos_Fairy]

Get to Work and Paranormal Stuff I'd say are your best bets.

[@draxmiss]

It depends on what kinds of jobs you'd find fun or interesting, and whether you want to go to work with your sim or have them go to work. There are some pretty good reviews out there for the career options from different packs ☺

[@DoveJS]

Get to Work has the Scientist career which is one of the most exciting of the active careers and you can basically be a mad scientist if you want to. This also has aliens if you want another occult, which tie into it directly. There's the Doctor career which is more in-depth than the Vet career (both are active ones) because you need more effort to actually diagnose the illnesses in the Sims correctly; there are guides online for that. The Detective career is a bit of both of those; you get some mystery and lock up townies forever lol. And there are Retail lots so you can create a store selling about 80% of everything in the buy catalog, including unlock-able items. You can even sell food and basically run a bakery although the Home Chef Hustle Stuff Pack improves on this idea significantly if that's your main goal. Both of these would be a self-employed career so you'd be deciding when and where to work. Of note, all of the active careers can get repetitive after a certain point but you can also send the Sim into work alone if you need a break from it. If you want more self-employed Sims there are also selling tables in a few different packs, including City Living which is the only one that has a wall that you can sell paintings and other wall items on, up-charging them significantly. The Dine Out pack lets you run a restaurant although you can only be the Manager. With Carl's mods you can play other roles such as Chef and Waiter but you still own the business. This isn't as thrilling but it's nice if you like building things from the ground up or think you'd also use them in other everyday game play. YMMV as to how broken it is; Maxis has fixed bugs in this pack frequently so in theory it should be working okay rn. I suspect a lot of the worst glitches are impacting older saves for people. It's essentially an active career akin to the retail lot system. The Photographer career in the Moschino Stuff Pack is actually pretty interesting if you enjoy taking photos. With the tripod and the position markers, you can take group shots and landscapes more easily. You also have more reason to actually build a studio set-up. You can use the photos as decor of course and sell them on the selling tables. On that note I'd recommend trying out the Freelance Careers from base game if you haven't tried them already. They arrived in an update, I think when Moschino came out, so if you're intrigued by the last one I mentioned, you could try those out to see if you like how it works. Base game has Freelance Artist, Freelance Writer, and Freelance Programmer which function a bit differently from the regular versions of those careers. There's also a Freelance Crafter career in Eco Lifestyle (and the Civil Designer career although that one is more basic but it gives you a method for repairing destroyed furniture which can be fun if you enjoy dumpster diving for random goodies.) The Paranormal Stuff pack has Haunted Houses and a shorter skill which goes with it. Maybe not as replayable back to back but it's pretty solid if you enjoy spooky vibes. Interestingly it's listed as a Freelancer career too. On the base game angle, I'd also consider trying out the Style Influencer career which also came out in an update. It's more of a classic career if memory serves me right but I think you end up creating some Styled looks which other Sims will wear if you choose a specific branch. I'd look it up on the Sims wiki for more info. This isn't me discouraging you, just pointing out some things you might not have played multiple times already. In a completely different direction, I'd consider looking at the Discover University pack because although the three careers it includes aren't that unusual, it adds some potentially interesting game play leading up to your Sim's career which gives them a large head start if they go after a complimentary degree. This applies to the three careers it adds as well as everything else in base game (plus I think every pack's career released before this pack; check the wiki and maybe Carl's old guides for more info.) That could freshen up what you've grown tired of as you spend the first few years chasing good grades instead of those early tier promotions but YMMV. It depends on how much patience you have for what is a tangential process, getting the degree takes time and you have to stay on top of it to pass. There's also other packs with different flavors if you also want a new world. Horse Ranch doesn't make as much money from raising the horses (unless you train them up to become champions and sell them) but you can run a ranch and sell nectar for tons of simoleons. This requires aging the nectar for maximum gains. Edit: Your sim would be self-employed. I'd consider checking out info on any careers that sound interesting and see what else the pack it comes with can add to your overall game play while you wait for that kind of video.

[@TVDAnnu]

Honestly I bought Stramgerville for like 50% just the military career. However I think discover university is a hidden gem when it comes to jobs! It has lawyer, education and engineer careers which are all fleshed out very well and I use the education and lawyer careers all the time!
