    when i tried haunted house for the first time, it ended with specters setting my sim on fire, neighbours rushing to help and dying, and in the middle of all this my other sim started to give birth. 10/10 experience

    This pack frustrates me so much, because it showed EA actually knows how to do great content, imagine if all the packs had at least the same quality level of Paranormal SP. It's the only time I did not feel robbed by EA, 7€ on sale is an honest price, by far the best pack.

  • @beachfairy
    @beachfairy 2 ปีที่แล้ว +402

    Paranormal is definitely my favourite stuff pack, I always forget it's not a game pack because of how much is included, the others just aren't on the same level! The build buy is amazing and the gameplay you get with the Haunted Lot type and career is really fun! That wallpaper you pointed out is one I use a lot, the white and black swatches are lovely in normal builds too! 👻

    • @klltx2001
      @klltx2001 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      IG it makes sense, you're technically giving your life force to a ghost, hence why it's a lot on the sim that does it.

    Something I didn't know for a long time after buying this pack is that unless you're incredibly desperate or playing the game in a certain way, *_don't offer your soul to a specter!_* lol
    Why? Because it will actually *add to your age bar!* This will happen _even if you're playing without aging,_ so it can _always_ be a problem! lol
    EDIT: I did just read however that the Soul Pieces you can sometimes get from specters can reduce your age bar though, so if you're lucky, you could reverse the effects of giving away part of your soul.

    I loveeee the build buy and CAS in this pack. I use it a lot. Also the house that comes with the lot is one of the best residential EA lots. One thing that’s cool in terms of gameplay is that if you offer your soul it actually adds more days to your lifespan so it ages you up faster

    Satch - It'd be useful if you had all "The Sims 4" content on one playlist; easier to find.
    Apart from that, your channel is both informative and fun.

    The rankings videos or mods episodes probably the most generally useful for new players, but all of your content is entertaining.

    I happen to use build and buy items from this pack in almost every built I make. I never thought that I would like the stuff this much but especially the couches and chairs are so detailed and they are looking like something out of a real living room.
    And I use the cash items pretty often so this buy was way worth it for me. But I also like the little more eccentric style in gerneal

    I didnt got it till now because i refuse to give EA for that game my money. 8 Years later and im still mad about the 70 euros for a unfinished base game, aswell as all the bugs and cashgrabs like kits. Yet, right now i enjoy playing it.

    Ok, I just have to say WOW! You had no problems? First this is my very favorite pack. I loved it so much. I played it for months and then... they broke it. I cannot believe you played with no problems. I keep having issues wherein my sims can't finish their gig! I try again every so often and I still have problems. I don't know if its because one of the other packs interfering or what it might be, but its broken for me. I do know that if you play it with lot traits on that will often break the house so that you don't get specters at your haunted lot, but I just can't figure out the key to the glitch while working. My sim goes to the gig they do all the work, the bar is full but it doesn't end the gig and then when time runs out it says they didn't finish and don't get paid! I was so mad when they broke my favoritest pack ever. I haven't tried it in a while just because I haven't been playing sims 4. Breaking this pack was the beginning of the end for me.

    This pack makes me wish that EA could have made more item sets go together a bit more. I get frustrated building because it seems like all the supernatural stuff can go together really well. I have more fun furnishing a build for the vampires and witches because the items have some character to them. Everything else has such a lack of character on their own that i cant furnish my sims home because none of the bland or just ugly couches seem to match any personalities or styles. Its just bland. Not enough matching patterns or unique pieces.
    Animal crossing comes to mind when i think of item sets. You can have sets of themed items and still make unique builds out of them. You just have to know what themes your players like. I dont think sims 4 knows what themes to go with sometimes. Everyone wants realism, realistic fashion, or an aesthetic that doesnt match well with the suburbia the sims is trapped in. I dont travel off home lot much because theres almost nothing you can do on another lot that couldnt have been done at home so i prefer items that have some character to them. Something i can look at and think "this is something my sim would own!" And not just something i dont mind looking at while i play.
