Prepare yourself for some scary-fun times.
Beware, Simmers, for something new is appearing before your very eyes: The Sims™ 4 Paranormal Stuff Pack*, available on January 26, 2021!
Welcome to your Sim’s new home! Sure, the listing said “haunted,” but everyone knows that’s just a myth. Why should you believe it?
At night, though… well. The lights flicker overhead, casting shadows at your Sim’s feet. In another room, a door slams shut, even though no one else is home. And what was that sound? Where’s it coming from? This is getting weird.
Okay, so it turns out there are some rumors that turn out to be true. These spooky specters moved in first, and they don’t let anyone forget it.
ysterious runes and clay hands appear randomly while crawling vines sprout in the yard. The sacred candle your Sim lit for safety blows out with barely a wisp of smoke. And no one knows where that horrifying doll came from. As the house gets weirder and weirder, goosebumps rise and scared Sims scatter in a panic-induced terror.
Luckily, your Sim doesn’t have to deal with this alone! There’s one helpful friend who’s happy to help: Claude René Duplantier Guidry (the Ghost). This somewhat flirty apparition offers the secrets to serenity. Under his tutelage, learn how to appease the specters ruining a good night’s sleep.
Some specters are playful, other mischievous, and a few are downright ornery. If they leave accursed objects behind, try to tidy up and remove them. Offer gifts or attempt communicating with the specters to try and please them. If they’re satisfied, Sims might get a present in return as the specter fades away. Otherwise, it’s time to turn to the séance table.
Séances serve as a way to communicate with the world beyond. Perform a séance to sense the mood of specters, commune with the dead, or complete a ghastly ritual. Plus, Sims can summon Guidry for extra help or summon Bonehilda the skeletal maid for a spot of cleaning! Doing so builds a Sim’s Medium skill. (Do be careful not to go ghost yourself, though.)
Once a Sim overcomes their fear, restores balance to the home, and masters the paranormal, Guidry the Ghost presents a coveted Paranormal Investigator license. Basically, your Sim can become a ghost hunter. No, ghost tracker. Ghost… buster? You ain’t afraid of no ghost, right? Pick up gigs as a freelance Paranormal Investigator to help other Sims experiencing haunting phenomena and make a few Simoleons while you’re at it!
Get The Sims 4 Paranormal Stuff Pack on January 26, 2021, on Origin (for Mac and PC), Steam, Xbox One, and PlayStation®4 to start your spooktacular adventure!

Anyway, this is right up my alley! I made a witch last year who is also supposed to be a medium, and didn't give her any regular job because I was waiting for a paranormal career to be added for her. She'll be just as excited as I am right now!
Something wicked this way comes!
I don't use MCCC.
Actually... a Fear emotion is coming... to the base game.
Guru Conner shared a picture of a scared sim on his twitter
Although I'm wondering... will our Sims be able to die from too much fright?

Presumably you will be able to die of fright though.
Yes, some of the tense emotions will be replaced, and I guess some others, too.
I love the new emotion, the new orleans voodoo feel of the BB, the bead curtains, the beautiful wallpaper, BONEHILDA
I love the paranormal, seances, cute ghost(s), medium skill, new freelance work, new lot type! THERE'S SO MUCH!
There's a voodoo (drag) queen and swamp witch in my gallery that I look forward to playing with when this comes out (I could never quite nail the decor for their homes before, lol).
This job is gonna be perfect for spellcasters!
The shaggy hair cut with bangs is SUPER CUTE
I cannot wait to explore the spooky occult items!
Oh ya, the clothes, they're fantastic! I especially like the long shirt and shorts combo on the far right at 1:09 and *all* the pants. Straight up, lol. They're *very cute*.
SO EXCITED
I wondered this too, or would they pee themselves?
Any early word on when the next patch is coming out? Would love to see if some of the bugs that crept into the game in the November and December updates have been squashed.
And remember this above all. Our Roman gods are watching. Make sure they are not ashamed!

They did say that a new reward trait is coming that affects the scared motion. Maybe it will do something like this.
You'll notice in a few scenes in the trailer that there are some of the little spirits in bell jars on side tables and such. There's at least a red one and a green one shown in the video, so yes, we can somehow capture the spirits.
Hey stephfourie, some statistics for you. There are currently 10 Expansion packs for The Sims 4. There are 9 Game Packs. There are 18 Stuff packs. There are 37 packs total for The Sims 4.
How many of those packs are truly dedicated to supernatural? There are currently ZERO Expansion packs. There are 3 Game Packs - Vampires, Realm of Magic, and Strangerville. You could possibly argue for Journey to Batuu, but I don't count it. There will be 1 Stuff pack in Paranormal. In total, 4 (5) of the 37 packs for The Sims 4 are dedicated to the supernatural.
This is about 11% of the game's packs. This also means that about 32 packs for The Sims 4 are dedicated to realism and everyday life kind of things.
So no, Realm of Magic is not enough. Vampires is not enough. Paranormal will not be enough. Strangerville barely even qualifies as supernatural since it doesn't even add a life state or add immersive gameplay since it's all tied to that one town's specific story. We don't have hardly any of the supernatural things TS3 had, nor all of the life states that TS2 had. We don't have werewolves, and plant sims in TS4 were an absolute joke and not a permanent life state. Fairies also aren't a life state yet.
So how about before you start getting upset and angry about more supernatural packs, you take some of this information to heart. Your style of gameplay is supported by 89% of the packs that this game has offered. Sit down now, and enjoy what you have. Let those of us who have been begging for supernatural content be happy that we're finally getting more stuff.
Though, at the end of the trailer, shouldn't "Play With Life" be "Play With After-Life?"
