Sul Sul! What would a refresh of Spooky Stuff look like?
My ideas:
EP integration - use pumpkins grown in Cottage Living and add this type of party to Seasons calendar for Halloween type party
Add spooky aspiration of scaring as many sims as possible and living a spooky, eerie, life!
Any other ideas?

I really like the aspiration addition! 😎👍.
I want a witches hat without the spider, Dracula’s cape and possible some different types of black/white robes.
Also, I would like to be able to send our children trick or treating ( not just have children come to our door ). And when children trick or treat to receive some types of candy they can actually eat.
Edited to say we should also have a costume category so we can pick what costume played and non played sims will wear to costume parties and the tech festival in city living, and children trick or treating….. I also think we need some more children’s outfits.
I second this, we have way too few options right now. For people who have all the packs they should at least enable a few of the outfits that come with them to be used as spooky costumes. A spooky party would be marvelous, especially if we could get the butler to dress up as Frankenstein.
A door that looks like a book case or fire place
Candy making skill and spooky themed recipes
More spooky decor
Magic tricks
Candy shop with career option.
1. Possible to carve oversized Pumpkins (Integration with CoL EP)
2. Possible to put & carve Pumpkins on the ground / bench. Kids could stand up or use the stool from the Group cooking option. (I often not carve pumpkins because you need that special Pumpkin table).
3. Possible for Kids / Teens to ask for Trick & Treat. (Ask random sim or option on the houses in your neighbourhood. Do mischief stuff like bomb the lot in toilet paper if you get no candy).
LIFE STRUGGLES PACK
The Sims 4 hasn't introduced a new musical instrument since 2017
Probably also crossover playability to be able to use pumpkins from cottage living.
These are nice ideas. But honestly I want a witches hat, without the spider, a witches less flashy plain back outfit, and Daracula’s cape.
Oh, and I would like children (that are being played ) go out trick or treating. I know kids sometimes come to the door, but it’s not the same thing.
I want a costume category so we can pick out what outfit our sims and other sims wear to a party and the cos play festival, and any other costume event. Then we have a choice of any outfit we want whether it looks like a costume to others of not, it gives us so much more variety!
This is what I was going to say. I would like my Sims to dress up and trick or treat.
If you play with mods, there is one that enables those costumes from this pack to be used as a costume during seasons holidays. And also adds for kids.
Can’t remember the name of it, but found it on modthesims
Maybe add these to the mischief category!!! We need more things that tie this pack into other gameplay!
I can only touch on this one- this is pretty expansive and I'd rather them not try it. The Native American tribes are easy enough to muck up. I had to correct a teacher one time because a story he wrote was based on conceptual knowledge and not actually facts (it was nothing crazy however). I'd expect them to distinguish at least the east coast tribes from the Midwest and West Coast tribes and even then, there's more to go into. Unless they literally contacted the remaining tribes and took time to actually learn the culture and historical clothing and their significance, that's might be a disaster waiting to happen.
As for world culture, I think that applies as well. I would find it interesting to see different cultural outfits as costumes but I'd want the sims team to do it right. There are far too many minority ethnic groups that get overshadowed or misconceptionalized. I'd hate to see mistakes in their representation.
As a regular CAS option? Great! (Assuming they consult with experts to make the clothes accurate and culturally appropriate.)
As a Spooky Day costume? Hard pass. This is TS4, not a dirtbag frat party.
I can't imagine their marketing team would want that headache.
And a new moodlet for if your sim wears a dress-up costume to a party that isn't a costume party (erratic, childish and goofball sims get a positive moodlet for this and everyone else is embarrassed/angry/stressed)
