The Sims Team revealed that they’ll be doing a Stuff Pack reveal for The Sims 4 today, January 12th 2021. However, it seems that first details have already leaked thanks to Origin!
A few months ago Origin accidentally listed The Sims 4 Stuff Pack 18 and some players were even able to purchase it before release. Now, the pack has been listed for those who decided to make the pack purchase with the pack name, description and key features! A reliable The Sims Forums member elelunicy posted the description with all the major features included in this Stuff Pack. The listed release date of the pack is January 26th, 2021.
Take a look of what the pack is all about!
Light the candles and prepare the rituals to appease your ghastly new roomates in The Sims 4 Paranormal Stuff Pack! Spectral guests cause mischief and mayhem on Haunted House Lots, but Sims can perform a seance, befriend Guidry the Ghost, become a Paranormal Investigator, and restore order.
Meet Ghastly Roomates – Your new-to-you home might be home to someone else, too, if it’s one of the new Haunted House Lots! Appease the mischievous specters to relax in serenity, or let them run amok for scares day and night.
Cleanse Your Home – If you want to send your new roomates packing, Guidry the Ghost is happy to advise you. Remove accursed objects, perform a seance, communie with the dead, and receive gifts from specters! You can even summon Bonehilda the skeletal maid.
Calm the Spirits – Master the Medium skill and impress Guidry to get a Paranormal Investigator license! Once you’re ready, take on some freelance gigs to expel unwelcome visitors for other Sims. With spooky activity on the rise, it’s up to your Sim to put a stop to it.
this looks bomb! hoping the descriptions are true though
FINALLY SOME GOOD FOOD also tbh so tired of family-oriented players constantly asking for generations and farming when 90% of the game is basically already designed specifically for them and then, when fantasy players Finally get something, they whine about how no one wanted this like A WHOLE BUNCH OF PPL WANT THIS me included! love everything abt this pack already
It’s kind of the flip when it’s a supernatural focus pack or family orientated pack one side complains “no one wants this.” Just as some people complained about Knifty knitting, completely ignoring family orientated and historical players. I think both sides (family and supernatural) make up a large portion of the current sims players which is why both knifty knitting and happy haunts were so close and likely why the team released this pack. I guess I’m more of a hybrid in that I like both and integrate both into my game which makes playing for me more enjoyable as well as rotational playing. I feel the only real pack that “no one” wanted was perhaps the star wars one because it wasn’t done as a homage to the original but more modern part of the franchise, mimics more the Disney experience and the lack of editable lots was beyond sad. I don’t think many star wars fans even enjoyed it fully due to all the possible potential being wasted especially since it would’ve done better as a spin off and not taken the spot of a GP that would’ve been more popular. It was probably EA’s biggest cash grab attempt, which backfired, as they incorrectly thought the SW fandom was so strongly represented in the sims community or that said fans were all willing to buy the cash cow EA was trying to sell. There are plenty of occult, alien specific, players that would’ve liked a general alien world (bigger and better than from get to work) but it was a complete fumble by EA.
oh yeah, definitely, the star wars pack was an absolute disaster no one truly wanted and a big money grab, and could’ve been instead replaced with any other pack (literally everything would be better lmao)
The thing is though, family/historical players have sth for them in basically every pack. Because every expansion pack adds something regular and ordinary and familial, you know. Plus I feel like there are many packs that have the same familial focus and vibe (and many with the kind of like.. boho/pinterest style, what’s up with that).
Meanwhile, compared to the sims 2 and 3, where basically every pack had a new occult life state and a bunch of supernatural-related/extraordinary little details and easter eggs to them, we only got.. two expansion packs with occult life states, mermaids and aliens, and they’re extremely lackluster. And besides that, we only got vampires and witches in game packs. And now this stuff pack. (and ig strangerville could be counted too) And it’s just……….. after 6 years of sims 4, it’s extremely disappointing, since supernatural elements were always the big part of each pack before. And now these cool exciting game elements are almost nowhere to be seen, while family-oriented/mundane-life players get sth for them each pack and still have the guts to say “no one wanted this” when occult players FINALLY get sth after months of waiting, you know lol?
And it’s not to say that i don’t enjoy other packs at all, i like some regular gameplay too, but it’s all still very…… family-focused, and similar. Even when it comes to mundane gameplay, we could have so many interesting things; a music/band/showtime-like pack, an 80’s/decades pack, more travelling packs, but instead most stuff packs are very down-to-earth, familial, and, well, the same. And there’s already Parenthood, kids stuff, toddler stuff, so for example ppl wanting more family stuff, and generations, specifically, is like?? Cuz, parenthood was generations’ the sims 4 equivalent, and i get that’s disappointing and “not as deep as sims 3” but lots of stuff in sims 4 is soooo, yup
Yas yas yas im soooooooooooo excited. Can’t wait to buy it. Finally some good packssss
I am really hoping this is a fake. I wanted a ghost hunter career like in the Sims 3 which would have added some nice fantasy gameplay to the game but this adds in some real life occult practices I definitely don’t want in the game and they don’t sound as if they are optional if my sim want to become a paranormal investigator. Beside why should happy haunts jump the queue when some of us have waiting years for fairies to return
How is it jumping the queue? It came in #2 after Nifty Knitting in the community poll.
It’s very unlikely fairies would come out as part of a SP and I don’t think there was any community SP polls that spoke about fairies. Fairies will either come in a GP or EP if they will make an appearance in sims 4 as such this pack coming out doesn’t impact fairies. It’s three different teams working on these packs. They didn’t rank as high as other occults as well when a guru did a poll. Also Happy Haunts was second place to Knifty Knitting.
BONEHILDA! Has someone checked on Plumbella?
