I can't wait to jump back into Vampires...I never really gave it a serious chance
but also if you add realistic things id like them added... realistic
because sometimes they like to make dark things seem fun and games
and that disturbs me further like just... lets have the dark things
also 90% of the time they censor something I probably saw in kids show so like idk
in those cases I am left wanting the realism even if i normally play ridiculous

Depends on the vampire. I have a good vampire doctor who's pretty good at his job, a corrupt vampire cop, an alluring vampire seductr-err, I mean massage therapist. Just a normal, innocent massage therapist, yes. I even have a lovably dopey vampire pizza delivery guy.
As for realism, I like it when I'm doing specifically a story or something with a more realistic focused, but otherwise, do not impede me.
I just imagine vampires as centuries old mysterious beings. So I dont think I will use jobs for them, in my own game. For me I think it would take away from their mysticism.
Those storylines sound fun. As I already told another person though, I think ill keep my vamps from working jobs. It would make them seem like everyday "people" and I dont want that at all. I want mine to seem otherworldly.
And though I like some fantasy in my game, I would like to be able to cut it out of a new game, when I don't want it! Like The Sims 3 had! They have it with somethings, but not all! And I find vampires annoying, them knocking on my sims door as 2:am OR anytime really, I could do without!
But I did pick A Bit Of Both Is Good!
Like I find it annoying that when Cats And Dogs came out, Maxis people said that the reason they made it so we can't control them, was because we can't control them in real life, BUT, people don't literally die of embarrassment and especially from being TOO happy and laughing! But of course they put that in the game! People also don't play musical chairs when they are supposed to be talking to someone either, but again we have that too!
I would just like them to make up their minds sometimes, are they going for realism or far out make believe/fantasy/ or stupidness?
Okay end of kind of rant, sorry,lol!
As for the topic, I like both. I want the goofy stuff like mermaids, aliens, vampires, magic, and stuff that I cannot do. I, however, do not want it to be overbearing. I really hope the magic pack ties into the world nicely and is not like how most magic is shown. Harry Potter style would be nice. Robes and such for schooling, but otherwise wear 'normal' clothes.
I want that old lady up the road with the perfect garden to blend in. Except she has, you know, cauldrons and stuff.
It's all in how you view things. I personally do not view those things as "goofy". I view them as magical and mystical. So , for me, I would not mind them. I think they should not tone down the "fun" backs for people who dont like that kind of thing either. If they dont like fantasy,they could skip the pack.

English isn't my first language, so please excuse any mistakes.
agreed
I also like wandering the hills.
As for vampires with jobs, they usually have one in my saves. Not all, though, but most of them. It does give them (and me) something else to focus on than just skills and hobbies (writing, painting etc). To me they are "ordinary" sims with a few extra powers and fewer needs. And supernatural speed is awesome

Yeah realism was never the aim of the Sims games anyway. So its a little ironic that people act like it soooo important.
Ya'know, like Vampires, Aliens, and Mermaids.
Joking aside, I like having the fantasy options available to me.
In fact, I've probably spent most of my time with things like occults as parts of my families than without.
Then again, it's not just occults that are "fantastical" when you think about it.
I'm sure it's perfectly mundane to have a car-sized industrial microscope and a telescope that's like a miniature observatory.
I get a bit cringy when people playing the game even talk very much about realism - all we have to do is look around us - people are mean more than ever and I cringe over that - even to complete strangers - or accuse others of being mean when they are just trying to be helpful. Bothers me a lot. I'd rather have a hundred friends than a single enemy. That one enemy would upset me because I'd try and find out what I did to make them feel that way. LOL.

True - fantasy is fun. It would be fun to be a witch, or fairy or any non-human it fires the imagination - I loved supernatural in Sims 3 - I went around helping others. In Sims 2 I made a White Angel who went around bringing back Sims dead loved ones. That's what I like to do in fantasy play. I guess I like happiness for all lol.
