Will there be neighborhood wide disasters and emergencies in the teased EP coming out? Large fires, electrical blackouts, food shortages, crime sprees, missing sims, tornados, zombies, alien invasions, etc. It’d be neat if big things happened that sims can choose to get together and help with or ignore or embrace and make the situation worse.

But as I don't trust toggles enough, I say also No.
(Only assuming it would include a toggle)
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..

it should be lot challenges people can toggle on/off themselves
I don't really want burglars messing up all my builds for example
but if I can turn them on for particular lot/household of choice it would be fun
we also already have lot challenges like quake zone and volcanic activity
so I don't really see why tornados etc couldn't be lot challenge the same way
also as occult player I am forever sad we don't have lot challenges about occults
that would be awesim update to occult packs
like imagine werewolf attacks lot challenge
that will make Greg randomly show up on your lot to destroy things
or that the alien abduction and vampire break ins were lot challenges
so when you play realism only you don't have to worry about it
and when you play occults you can actually get some dang break ins and abductions

Yes I agree. I don’t play occults too much really, so I’m happy they are not too intrusive to my play. And with spell caster ( that I have played ), as with other occults, I want them to be rather illusive, so most other sims don’t know about their secret. I actually buy all the packs because I like a lot of the stuff that comes in them. As long as vampires and werewolves don’t actually kill my sims, I can take the occasional break in if I forget to lock my door.
If any world wide drama, it would have to be something not affecting old heirlooms etc. For example the horrifying water tube problem, which causes all toilets and sinks in the entire world to pour out brown water making floors and walls filthy, so your servants (or maid service) would need days to clean up a larger mansion. Or the well known, but obviously hard to fix problem, where anyone jumping into a pool will sink to the bottom, and will drown unless there is someone else near by to rescue them. Or - the hated slug invasion, where a sim opening the mailbox will find that it is filled with slugs that will "fly" straight onto the sim's face - not causing a slug death, but draining you from 95% of your energy.
Such actions could take place all over the world on one random day - without a warning. And they would not harm my huge building nor all those old painted portraits.
Adding: How could I forget the "Toilet Monster" that on certain random days will jump up to bite the sim using the toilet? The bite is not fatal, but the frightened sim will probably not sit down on a toilet again in a few days.
After all, you have to account for not only the buildings you build, but buildings in the background as a decoration.
Exactly this. Not everyone wants disasters so it should only be implemented if it is optional. I wouldn't mind an occasional black out or a burglar (in sims) but food shortages, crime sprees and missing sims sounds really heavy. I want my sims world to be relatively safe. There is enough of those awful things in real life already.
I would like some occult related lot traits. I hate how spellcasters outside of my household never act like spellcasters outside of the dark magic realm. I would love to have a magical lot trait that makes townie spellcasters wave wands and brew potions.
Good call on the zombies! Though they are probably a very mild version with no skill tree. More like temporary plant sims. Too soon to tell after the trailer today.
edit: I think it's just a new death after watching it again. Zombies have to die first to get back up but I'm starting to think it's not that.

Yeah, it's just a new death that's probably a reference/shout-out to The Last of Us, so no actual zombies or anything like that. 😉
