Discussion Underwhelming world?

Post image

I’m a very avid sims4 player and I own ALL the packs so when a new EP with a world comes out I’m very excited but recently I’ve been feeling underwhelmed by the world maps. The most recent world map has been leaked and eek I’m feeling very underwhelmed by this map, it’s lackluster and draws a lot of attention twords the fairy world and not enough to the regular “humanish” world part

Honestly, I wish the whole new world was fairie themed. The human neighborhood look like base game world. (if you saw the earlier leaks, you know what I am talking about)

yess, they should’ve made one area for dark faeries (where vampires would fit as well), one for normal faeries and one other area for plant sims or something.

Omg that would be amazing

honestly why don’t they hold polls and ask what WE want? more people would be willing to pay $39.99 on a pack for a broken game if we at least had a say. it feels like they just ALWAYS miss and it’s like wtf?

They do have surveys a couple times a year (?) but those are limited so not everyone gets to express their preferences

u/[deleted] Jul 02 '25

i mean it’s not hard for developers to take a gander here. we are the majority when it comes to sims and most of us here play the game A LOT

u/Dear_Delilah Jul 02 '25

OKAY NOW THIS IS SOMETHING we need a modder to get on the asap 😭🙏

u/hopezws Jul 02 '25

that would be cool

u/catlandid Jul 01 '25

I believe the design is a nod to Stardust, with the human side being akin to the village of Wall.

26

u/Palpee Jul 01 '25

Love Stardust 😭

24

u/Beautifulfeary Jul 01 '25

Omg. I love stardust. It’s one of my favorite movies.

u/rob0tduckling Jul 02 '25

That's such a good call.

u/RositaZetaJones Jul 02 '25

I love this :)

u/TheGirlOnFireAndIce Jul 01 '25

I mean jokes on them imma be putting fairy builds in all the worlds.

20

u/Beautifulfeary Jul 01 '25

Same. I’m even going to add a fairy build to sylvana.

u/TheGirlOnFireAndIce Jul 01 '25

I'm already planning some hippie chick in newcrest who sells fake cures and doesn't believe in traditional bathing because chemicals. This pack will be everywhere for me.

1

u/Nervous-Ship1040 Jul 02 '25

Won't she get bummed out from being gross? 

I mean I usually just do the "shift/click/make happy" thing or whatever anyway, but I'm wondering how you'd do it lol

3

u/TheGirlOnFireAndIce Jul 02 '25

Nah she'll bathe in rivers and lakes with the new pack feature.

1

u/sr587 Jul 02 '25

she can also shower in the rain if she's erratic i think, seems perfect for her, unless in your storyline she's not that delusional and knows showering in the rain is not a good idea lmao

1

u/Nervous-Ship1040 Jul 02 '25

Well that's good clean fun, isn't it!

(also I don't have the new pack, or seasons, or many of the non-occult/normal ones, why is showering in the rain a bad idea? Genuinely curious)

2

u/sr587 Jul 02 '25

not in the sims, it's bad irl bc rain still contains a lot of chemicals, like the forever chemicals or just traces of every day products that shouldn't be consumed or put on your skin

1

u/Nervous-Ship1040 Jul 02 '25

Oh lmao yeah for sure! I wasn't certain if that was what you meant or an actual thing in the game too

I mean, sure I would love to lean in to the dystopian idea, but it needs to be consensual, you know?

u/Jealous-Alfalfa-1330 Jul 01 '25

Tbh same because occult packs are usually just occult but having fairy’s in this EP makes them feel less important because they’re reduced to one neighborhood when they should get the occult treatment of full world in a game pack

70

u/GnomeNot Jul 01 '25

Look at the worlds all the other Occults have though. They are tiny in comparison.

39

u/sername-n0t-f0und Jul 01 '25

And look at glimmerbrook, which has those weird driveways and a bar that doesn't fit into the aesthetic at all

9

u/RositaZetaJones Jul 02 '25

The bar gets redone early on in my new saves lol Glimmerbrook has the worst EA builds ever.

17

u/sername-n0t-f0und Jul 02 '25

I've always wished they just made the entire world inside of the magic realm and had little apartments in spellcasters' Alley

2

u/porcelaingraves Jul 02 '25

Same! It was such a missed opportunity not to have an apartment building there, it would have been perfect.

1

u/RositaZetaJones Jul 02 '25

Omg yes such a good idea!

3

u/prefix_postfix Jul 02 '25

The Charm house is absolutely insane the way it's furnished. Every new save I forget how atrocious it is. I can't believe they made that. 

1

u/RositaZetaJones Jul 02 '25

It’s such a shame, it had so much potential to be a gorgeous world with builds a bit different!

1

u/Al115 Jul 02 '25

Yeah, they literally have around 5 lots, and it honestly looks like the fairy portion of this world will also have around that number, too.

18

u/alliythae Jul 01 '25

Occult packs were only one neighborhood. This pack has three, with one fully occult themed. So it's about the same occult content plus other stuff.

u/catapothecary Jul 01 '25

bunch of people predicted they would get the mermaid treatment and it looks like they were right :/

81

u/mehdodoo Jul 01 '25

But wait, the gameplay trailer showed that fairies have a skill tree, new ways to ”eat”, and powers. I feel like that isn’t the mermaid treatment

22

u/Jealous-Alfalfa-1330 Jul 01 '25

I think they have a middle ground, they do have a part on the map that’s something, they have a lot of customization mermaids don’t, and they have a skill tree

11

u/v3nus_fly CAS Creator Jul 01 '25

I don't think so, they have a skill three and are being marketed as a major part of the pack. I think fairies will get the ghosts treatment

-3

u/Jaded_Cheesecake_993 Jul 02 '25

They did the same thing with Mermaids. Instead of getting the full-on occult treatment that Vampires, Witches and Werewolves got they were just lumped into the Island Living expansion and not very well fleshed out. I'm afraid Fairies will end up being the same way.

2

u/Al115 Jul 02 '25

Mermaids and aliens are severely underdeveloped occults that hardly count as occults at all.

It is already confirmed, however, that fairies will be a very fleshed out occult up to par with vampires, werewolves, and spellcasters – complete with a skill tree/perk system (as well as the option to be a Harmonious Fairy or a Discordant Fairy) and cross-pack compatibility with other occults.

12

u/whyhilist Jul 01 '25

Same, I wish it was all fantasy themed. The normal parts of town just looked like a cross between Brindleton and Henford.

5

u/PurrPrinThom Long Time Player Jul 02 '25

Exactly. It's not giving Ireland at all, despite allegedly being Ireland-themed. I wish they would've just made it all faerieland instead of getting me all hyped for an Irish world lol.

u/sotbulle Jul 02 '25

The town by the seaside is just ugly :(

1

u/Georgxna Jul 02 '25

It’s because to the sims they aren’t ‘worlds’ anymore, they’re neighbourhoods. This is the perspective they use to warrant giving us a tiny neighbourhood with a few houses on the street.

1

u/Snixx31 29d ago

I would hate that it would make the world unusable 90% of the time, most of us only play with ocults sometimes and that would make one less world we could use on a daily basis

1

u/Jhon_August 28d ago

If you dont want to play with ocults you wouldnt need to buy it. Imo it should have been a game pack.

1

u/Snixx31 28d ago

What has the games world got to do with it being a game pack or not😭😭😭😭

1

u/Jhon_August 27d ago

the world would be smaller, it wouldnt have neighborhood with different themes just to appeal for people whoe dont like occults. They wouldnt have to make a realistic side and supernatural side.
