What I Think About The Sims 3 Supernatural Expansion Pack:
This opinion is based off of my first impressions from screenshots and the trailer, so after the game is released, things could change.
I have always played the typical suburban family when it comes to my sims. So when the rumors of a Supernatural expansion pack were confirmed, I kind of cringed. I was hoping for something more like Free Time, University, or Seasons from The Sims 2. Instead I was hit in the face with fairies, witches, and werewolves. From looking at the trailer, it looks like it could be a lot of fun to play around with for a while, but I am not the type of person that will create any of those three supernatural creatures more often than a regular human sim. It is just not how I play the game.
There will be a new fortune teller profession that I am excited about. The new furnishing items looked pretty neat as well. There is supposed to be new hairstyles, clothing options, and sliders in CAS, along with a new town called Moonlight Falls. Of course Moonlight Falls will be filled with supernatural beings, so I don’t know how much time I will spend there in my normal gameplay.
All in all, I am not as excited for this as I would have been for a weather or university themed expansion, but I still think that it will be interesting to play. I do not dislike this expansion pack, but I’m not in love with it either. I think it has potential to be one of those expansion packs that I fall in love with once I play it for a while, like World Adventures. We shall see. I will be getting the limited edition version and doing an LP on this expansion.

The Sims 3 Supernatural Trailer
From the looks of it, there will be a new neighborhood. But they have to have a new neighborhood, right? I’m really excited about that. I also saw some great new items for CAS and Buy/Build mode. I must admit, I’m getting a little excited. Not like over the top excited, but still excited. It also looked like there were zombies at the end of the trailer. Please EA, let there be a zombie apocalypse. Lol. Here is the trailer:
The Sims 3: Supernatural Expansion Pack Leaked!
Info:
Earlier today or yesterday (I’m not quite sure), Amazon.IT added The Sims 3 Supernatural to their list of products. What I know is that it is set to be released on September 7th in Italy, meaning probably September 5th for US and Canada. That is what I know for sure. There are tons of speculations about what is to be included in this new expansion pack like witches, fairies, and werewolves based on a game patch that was released with supernatural-themed content. I stated earlier on this week via Facebook and Twitter that an announcement would be coming soon and this kind of confirms it. They usually have about two months of advertising to do, and this is around the time they need to start their campaign. I guess we will just have to wait another week or so to know everything for sure.
My Thoughts:
I’m not excited about this EP, nor am I disappointed. I’ve never been keen on adding witches and werewolves to my game, so for me, this is just a “bleh” moment. I was hoping for seasons or something college-themed. This will be thrown into my pile of unused EPs along with Pets and Showtime. The Sims 3 staff always talks about listening to their consumers, but this proves just the opposite. Hopefully Supernatural will surprise me. Maybe I’ll get a little bit more excited once the trailer is released, but until then… whatevs.
