Supernatural: Shapeshifters Game Pack/Expansion Pack
Werewolves are an outdated thing. How can SimGurus make them better in Sims 4?
---
Enter the mysterious town of Dòngwù Valley where strange things happen by the light of the moon. Create your own animal-like creatures that seem to have come out of a fairy tale or a horror story. Fight at the monster pit to become the Master of the Beasts, or become one with nature.
Create a Sims
Choose from 5 classes of were people:
- The scary Arthropods
- The disgusting Amphibians
- The treacherous Reptilians
- The majestic Birds
- The mortal Mammals
Each of those classes will unlock roars, wheezes, howls and more depending on what you choose. You will then unlock different costumes, makeup, ears, teeth and claws, plus feathers, hair, scales and more ornaments for the skin, related to your favorite class.
The scary Arthropods
By becoming an arthropod you will be able to add extra spider arms, scorpion tails, exoesqueleton skin, insect antennae, mosquito eyes, and more things to select and customize your WereArthropod. You sim voice will have a buzz sound to it when transformed.
The disgusting Amphibians
By becoming an amphibian you will be able to add frog like eyes, axolotl ears, muddy skin, toad hands and more things to select and customize your WereAmphibian. You sim will croak when transformed.
The treacherous Reptilians
By becoming an reptilian you will be able to choose to have no ears, scaly skins, snake fangs, crocodile eyes, turtle shell, lizard paws and more things to select and customize your WereReptil. You sim voice will hiss and put emphasis on "s" when transformed.
The majestic Birds
By becoming an bird you will be able to choose to have no ears, feathered skins, different beak types, wing arms and more things to select and customize your WereBird. You sim voice will sound like he is singing and he will beautifuly whistle sometimes when transformed.
The mortal Mammals
By becoming an mammal (? lol) you will be able to choose rat teeth, goat eye, kitsune tail, rabbit ears, horse legs, deer horn, bull nose ring and more things to select and customize your WereMammal. Obviously, you will be able to make your classic werewolf, or maybe werecats too... You sim voice will be something like a growl, howl, roar or squeal when transformed.
New world:
Welcome to Dòngwù Valley, the hidden village of the magical shapeshifters. Here, if you want to become the leader you have to be the best of the beasts. Learn both Martial Arts and the animal inspired Kung Fu, and enjoy all that China has to offer.
New objects:
Prepare to fight at the monster pit. Master the "Kung Fu" ability, participate in the tournament and climb the ranks if you want to achieve your "Master of All Beasts" aspiration.
New skills:
Inspired by animals, "Kung fu" is now in The Sims 4, alongside "martial arts".
"Self control" Skill: your sim have been turned into a mosnter, and doesnt know how to control it. Master the Self Control skill to be able to turn into the beast within your sim whenever you like.
New aspirations:
"Master of All Beasts" aspiration
You have to master the Kung Fu skill, the Martial Arts skill and win against 15 shapeshifters at the Monster Pit object.
"Physical Perfection" aspiration:
Max both Athletics and Martial Arts skill levels.
"Martial Arts Master" aspiration
Max the Martial Arts skill and become a Grand Master.

I did not included the fishes here, because we are going to get mermaids soon or later. Maybe they could tie in them in to this when released.
Please, if you have any ideas that would add up to this idea, share with us!

haha maybe. Depends on how its made, but i would enjoy if it was an EP too, they could add more things too... Maybe including the mermaids as the Fish Class i excluded.
Then the problem would be the theme, EP's are usually broad themes and with your idea it would be too detailed to become an EP. I feel that shapeshifters are too advanced for TS4 currently, but the devs are welcome to surprise me
I dont think its too hard. Most of what i said there is CAS content, and you can find many CC like that on the internet. They would just have to work in the animal-like voices, but they have done that before with the werewolfs.
Edit: I mean... i know that making a game is hard, but i dont think that shapeshifters are impossible to be made in Sims 4.
Totally not saying it's impossible! But what about powers? Depth? History? Other content besides animal form and Kung fu?
I was going to post a message that everyone could give ideas, but... Oh, sorry. I forgot! haha I couldnt think more than the Kung Fu + Animal Form, but two heads thinks better than one, right?!
I was thinking about that Self Control skill, maybe it could be one of the powers you could achieve. To be able to control when your going to turn into a beast, instead of waiting fot the full moon to appear. They could unlock other things too, like befriending cats or dogs faster, being able to learn the athletic skill faster and more things like that.
Maybe the shapeshifters from the brids class could unlock the ability to learn the singing skill faster too.
idk
Or maybe a power system like with vampires? With powers and weaknesses.
Since EPs usually bring jobs what would you add?
Alchemy sounds fitting for that. And Ghost Hunting too...
Since its a Chinese inspired pack, maybe they could introduce silk fabrication in the game. You then could produce tapestry to sell. It could work like the Painting skill, where you could become really good at making expensive tapestry.
I would like Sculpiting too, but i dont know if that makes sense. haha
PS.: Could someone please move my discussion to the Ideas Corner?
It does seem big for a game pack, but I could see elements of this being added to other packs OR an expansion pack with multiple ancient cities in China, Rome, and the Middle East where sim’s can be shapeshifting animals or pure elements and wield corresponding powers like Ancient Greek gods!! Very unlikely but hey, we can dream right!
I think it would be the size of an EP, tbh. Would work as a variety of the SUpernatural EP, but with an ancient vibe/more cultural varied. Other world-theme that could work is Egypt, since the ancient gods of Egypt were all half-animal...
Edit: Some more ideas:
I was thinking... Maybe Angels and Fairies could be on this pack too. Angels could be mostly good, and Fairies could be mostly mischievous. Of course to make sense they would be called WereBirds (with feathery wings) and WereInsects (or something like that haha and, of course, they would have insect looking wings from butterflies to fireflies, etc). You could make them look like regular angels and fairies, but you could also detail them more into the animalistic aspect of their appearances. Like adding beaks, anthenae, and so on and so forth
Then, if you want special powers for these sims, have them learn it like the skilltrees in ROM. Only this time, please give them consequences so they dont feel OP like spellcasters. Have them leave furballs behind and crave hunting or something.
Edited for clarity.
