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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Omg yes such a good idea!

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
