I really like the aesthetic of the pack and would happily take a kit continuing the theme. Perfect for an old Louisiana style colonial.
The gameplay itself is a mixed bag for me.. I like the addition of the seance table and skill, but wish they’d integrated it into the current ghost system instead of adding those weird cutesy sprite things.. Bonehilda is kinda meh, plus we already got skeleton maids with JA.
Also I don’t know if it’s a bug or not, but all haunted lots seem to have lights switched off as default?
I absolutely love this pack! I really enjoy playing as a paranormal investigator and building haunted houses, based on real life houses that are considered haunted. I love the CAS that came with the pack, perfect for a true medium. Eventually I plan to have my favorite occults from shows and books so I can have a medium who works as investigator but also studies occult lore and sets out to cure them all, making the world a safer place. I built the actual house where the events supposedly occurred that led to the movie. It's a very old farmhouse and I have a spellcaster couple living there. She works as the medium (spellcasters learn skill faster) and he does media videos of her seances. They also farm, as I have Cottage Living, so they have a very busy life! I just love playing that story and couldn't live without the pack!

Does the career work for you? I get no more ghosts after the fifth gig.
@ddd994 I believe it is part of the gameplay as my lights are always flickering on and off and frequently go off completely. I have learned to put kerosene lamps and candles in the rooms, just in case! My couple had friends over for the Winterfest holiday and of course the power went off, and she was unable to make her grand meal for the guests. The guests were all scared and running around, it was chaotic and so much fun! I plan to eventually change back to a normal lot, when I feel she has finally succeeded in dispelling the ghosts/spirits. I can always change it back when want more hauntings.
It's one of my favorite packs. I'm obsessed with the paranormal so when they announced this pack I couldn't wait to play it.
It is a bit of a bummer ghosts don't have anything to do with the career... instead this pack adds specters. If you're an OG simmer then you may recognize and appreciate Bonehilda. I love her but I wish she could be summoned via coffin vs the seance table/circle requiring the medium skill. I use the BB stuff a lot. I have a few haunted lots scattered throughout worlds. I haven't played the career in a while so I can't say if it's broken.
I like it and use it when I am in the mood you could also have a baby with guidry the last time I played with it. Though it is the same as all packs you may enjoy it but you will probably not use it the same everything or take breaks from it without thinking about it.

I have been enjoying my one haunted house. But I gave the vampire who owns it the "brave" trait right from the start (his human roommate does not have have that trait, so he gets freaked out). The human guy can go hide under the covers while the vampire takes care of chasing off the scary stuff. This story has been fun for me to play.
I love a lot of the build and CAS items as well, and use them in non-haunted lots and other households. I haven't played much with the career, but I don't use the game careers much in the first place.
It sounds like other players have found the career buggy or poorly designed, but I feel like the rest of the pack is well made and fun.
The paranormal pack is one of my favorite packs.
One thing that is nice is that spell casters level up quickly with the seance table.
I also like the CAS items, and the house you got with it.
I really enjoyed it. The gameplay doesn’t really last very long and isn’t as deep as it would be if it was a game pack but it’s somewhere between a stuff pack and a game pack. It’s one of the best value for money packs and there’s some good items in it.
Thanks for the answers everyone! I am a fashion junkie so the clothes and hairs alone seems like worth it even if the gameplay might not be exactly my thing.
The absolute best stuff pack for sims 4 - I love everything about it, although I use mods for some small stuff, it's mostly perfect. The buy build is fantastic as is cas, and the gameplay features are also great. I love using all of it when I play spellcasters, as it fits right into the magical world. It's the stuff pack where you get the most for your bucks spent on it, as it contains so much for a stuff pack. If you're even remotely interested in the paranormal theme, it's very much recommended. I guess if you don't like the theme, then you'd still be able to use cas and BB, so it's still nice.
Allons-y!

It was ok for a bit of different play when I bought it but I never use it now. It got old and repetitive fast.
I couldn’t disagree with this more. I still use it to this day. Probably one of the best stuff packs they did. There’s nothing repetitive about it. Every haunted house is different. Add a cursed lot trait and boy… the fun really starts.
I still think that the Paranormal Stuff Pack is a mini Gamepack. Also, Paranormal goes so perfectly with my Realm of Magic, Spooky, Vampire & Werewolf Packs.
Nice house if a bit cramped. Use it mostly for the CAS & BB. Those floating balloon 'specters' really deflate the haunted feeling. This isn't "Romper Room". Never tried the career. Definitely an ambitious pack with a lot of potential.
Kids can earn or buy the paranormal license, but not use it for much of anything. I wonder how much they can do with the pack. Any time something is limited, I am curious how much I can squeeze out of it.
I really enjoy the pack and love the sounds in a haunted house. I suppose the cute specters were meant to break the scary vibe. I don't necessarily play haunted residential a lot but I usually have the Duplantier House Doc Ashley made for the pack in the game and stop by to enjoy some haunting. I use seance tables a lot even if the lot isn't haunted.

( @alanmichael1 is this what you have? )
Yes, unfortunately. With Panaranormal and DHD, the two best freelancer careers are unplayable atm.
