๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ Fortune Telling Table

I would like a ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ Fortune Telling table that actually does a few different types of ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ Fortune telling as opposed to just crystal ball reading. Examples:
Fortune Telling Types
1. Of course the obligatory Crystal Ball
2. Tea Leaf Reading - A Sim drinks the tea then gives the cup to the ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ who then reads the leaves
3. Tarot Card Reading
4. Palmistry - Reading another Sims palm, but ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ could also do it on their own
5. Star Charts - So there would be a return of the Zodiac, that was so popular and often requested
Why Would I Like This
1. Personally I would like to see ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ be a part of a career track kind of like last time as a part of the Paranormal track
2. I would also like to see it as a part of an overall ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ Caravan or Tea Room and the ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ Owner get paid for her or his services
3. It would come in a few different colors and might look good also in a witches house
4. Perhaps hiring a ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ for Halloween parties as an NPC
5. Associated decor
6. If there is a ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ then there might be matchmaking, Love Potions, and ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ Curses (Werewolves anyone, very Lon Chaney) Ooh and attempting to break ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ Curses even more fun!

Yep, it's my opinion that a race that was used as the 'tester' for the Holocaust shouldn't be used as a rentable party novelty.

Also I wanted the caravan which was a rabbit hole last pack to be a more dynamic experience where it was set in a Tea shop which in my mind would be a cross between the magic shop from Supernatural and the caravan from the same pack.
As for the decor I wanted to see the the same type of buy/build objects in Drifter's Desire from the Sims 3 store.

But you can sit safely in the knowledge that your sanctimoniousness has been noted. P.S. Thanks Madam Lee for backing me up
you're welcome. Besides I want a longer purple skirt for my Esmerlda Sim in my Disney save-it doesn't look right with the current skirt (have no pics at the moment since I'm not at home)
Roma/Rroma/Romani/๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ, yes.
I will point out that not all forms of divination are ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ in origin. You could roll half the OP's ideas into a generic 'witch' and it'd work well enough. Turning a race into a career you can pick up and get promoted in? Into a Halloween novelty? Those things I object to. A generalised career in divination or the paranormal? That I don't mind.
a witch doesn't use crystal balls, or tarrot cards..only forunte tellers do and the first fourtune tellers were Romi. So I weather keep divination seperate from witch.

Divination doesn't have to be Roma(ni) related (and from what I've seen is more often it isn't) and love potions is easily something that can be reserved for alchemy skill (which can tie in with witches, but could also used by any sim). Curses also seem more witchy to me, but could be part of a generic magic skill.
Divination is fine as a career and you can merge a lot of cool things with it, but there is no need to bring the Roma(ni) people into an overly abused stereotype. I understand liking certain aesthetics, but these are the stereotypes of actual groups of people that have been made into offensive Halloween costumes and stigmatized for years.
Also, the first "fortune tellers" were the ancient greeks and egyptians.
No. The first fortune tellers existed long, long before Romani. Classical divination was a thing. You can trace the Roma back a good thousand years... but Ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt and China all had forms divination. Mayan spirituality was all but built around the concept. I'm sure other cultures had their own interpretations too.
Further, modern witches, pagans and others do utilise divination.
I agree that it's in bad taste to have a "๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ" career. But I would love the idea of a fortune telling table and caravan in a carnival style, without referencing gypsies, of course. There was a table in TS1and a caravan in TS3, so I see no harm in bringing those back.
the problem here is that basically everything with the sims 3 fortune teller career was definitely Romi based (carvan=Romis, and at least the women's work outfit)
We can also compare it with the Sims 2 matchmaker as well
real Romis
Right. Which is why I said in my earlier post to bring those things back without referencing gypsies and to make it carnival style instead. They can make this work without having to bring gypsies into the equation. They just have to do their research and come up with a little creativity to not fall back on the ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ caravan crutch:
