When people say "I want my Sims game to be realistic, none of this fantasy stuff" I wonder why they're playing video games at all.
Those are the kind of people who voted for Laundry Day. Because laundry is realistic
In fairness, making video games is like making sandwiches. You need to try and suit everyone's proclivities. The benefit that the sandwich shop owner reaps is that making that sandwich is a matter of a few cents. It is, therefore, easy to accommodate people that want pastrami, or roast beef, or hard salami. With that overhead you can make a custom sandwich for each person.
AAA video games have budgets of 10's and 100's of dollars, and so customizing the product isn't possible. So, they've got to try and appeal to people like you and me who want more fantastical elements at the same time as accommodating others that want to do laundry and work the day shift.
I think the devs to a pretty good job, all things considered.

In my opinion I don't feel that Laundry deserved it's own pack, but I guess some people are really that in to it. I personally think it would have been better as a feature in an expansion, but that could just be me.
My favourite colour is #E4717A, just like any other ordinary human girl.
If you like occult's, buy Vampires. If you like everyday, buy Laundry Day. Something for everyone.
Too bad sims 4 favors everyday life packs over supernatural things.
That's why sims 3 is bae and sims 4 side chick.
I think after Seasons and Education packs, they're start giving us more of the packs we've been requesting like magic, werewolves, farming, hobbies, etc.
Vampires in The Sims 4 do appear to be better than TS3 vampires at least, though I have to wait until June, my birthday, to get it and finally play it. Regardless, witches will always be better in my opinion.
So now that we finally have almost every supernatural life state one could want, do you guys think it's likely we'll get werewolves at some point? Honestly, I feel like that's the ONLY thing missing now from my Sims. Discover University sounds wack.

Sims4 vampires have their own pack and better than Sims3 - changing to dark forms, strengths and weaknesses, NO SPRINKLES, (please don't make me go further).

I hope so. They should release a pack for just werewolves so that people who DONT want supernaturals can have a game without them and people who DO can enjoy them. I have to say, the sims 4 didn't do the best job with witches (sims 2 did it better) and they were focused on just that life-state in the realm of magic pack. I was pretty disappointed with them after playing vampires that blew me away. I also really miss zombies. Where art thou zombie EA?
> @gummybear0724 said: > I hope not. Supernaturals just make the game feel fake and just blah. Its why I don't play with aliens or haven't bought the vamps pack. They add nothing, and seem blah to me.
I couldn't disagree more. Supernatural states are part of the sims series from the very beginning and should remain there. They are the main stories I enjoy playing. If EA releases them in separate packs like vampires, then realistic players like you can opt out. Plus, in the sims 4 algorithm you BARELY see supernaturals if you don't opt to play one yourself. That's pretty perfect IMO. I hope they give us Zombies! I love playing zombie apocalypse!

YES, I NEED ZOMBIES!!! They won't be able to disable supernaturals for the sims 4. Modders wont even do it because its too integrated in the gameplay and its difficult to separate the code. But i think this is a great idea for the sims 5!

In the sims 3 you can have your vampire sim play fetch with your werewolf LOL. I usually would have in my family's BIO that the werewolf was the Day Guard for my Vampire
Nooo, we already have enough with the ROM/Vamp. packs and this thread is three years old! If they were going to put it in the game, they would have done it by now. Surprised this old topic even popped up in my feed.
Lol, I guess it's almost time to consider what is wanted for a Sims 5, instead.

Just here to support zombie lovers🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Though I'm super excited for wearwolves I'm 90% sure we are going to get them. But I'm a little worried about zombies because they are not popular so I try to support them and voice my desperation for zombies lol 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I hope they do, I mean we have vampires, aliens, mermaids and plant sims, so why not werewolves? Or other supernatural creatures? Maybe for Halloween they'll release something, but I've been saying that the last three Halloweens and nothing has happened :(
I hope not, cause if they did I'd have to buy it for CAS and BB and would end up with werewolves around the hood.
if you dont like occults then don't buy occult packs. it is as simple as that.
the amount of people on these forums who complain about having to buy packs they don't like... seriously if you guys have that much money to throw away, then can you please just donate that money to the countless number of people on social media who post their cashapp/venmos/etc asking for help to buy groceries or pay medical bills.
I believe the statues from the Vampire Pack were hints to the kind of supernaturals we'll be getting. There was a statue of a witch/spellcaster which we got, a statue of a werewolf, and a statue of a fairy
