Glad you like the lots! If you need to fix them though, I won't be offended haha Also - you were totally right about Rory and Lily's rooms at the house! I'm glad that came across

You can see James’ veteran status as a rags to riches player with all the showers and beds he’s included on public lots

unlike the god-awful wedding pack, this pack has a strong world, gameplay, build-buy, AND CAS. LIKE HOW??! this is such a step-up from other packs, if the sims team put this much passion into the other packs like this, the dlc for this game would be so much better. OMG TYSM GUYS FOR THE LIKES!!! :D i have never gotten this many likes on a video before 😭

They really made an improvement in making worlds. For me they are the selling point for most of the packs

I don’t like werewolves, but I am having so much fun with this pack, and this world. I made a werewolf sim just to try it out, and she almost immediately ended up pregnant with twins by Kristopher and outgrew her trailer 🤦🏼‍♀️ so now I’m working on an old firehouse turned “wolf’s den” so she can hide her babies from the other pack lol. Sooo, definitely not my usual gameplay, but I’m having fun with it 😂 Also, the werewolf babies make puppy noises, and it is easily the best thing about this pack 😂

I am so impressed with this pack. I'm glad they appear to have learned from that horrible wedding pack.

7:57 rory is listed as his daughter!!! I know it's a small thing to get excited about but I'm still annoyed that Johnny Zest is not related to the Landgrabs in game, but the lore says he is - hopefully they will patch that

This world is absolutely aesthetic, and so much better than the other occult worlds

James popped off. It was actually genius to just get one creator who is obviously really good at this style to build such a consistent world. Also the lore is everything. I’m actually going buy this pack. If they keep adding details like this I’m going to keep buying I’m so excited for the future of the sims

So I watch your videos all the time and today was a fantastic day. My little one came in and asked to watch “the pretty lady playing the people game”. My daughter is on the autism spectrum and not overly verbal unless she really loves something, so hope you feel loved 🥰

They actually included werewolves vs. Vampires lore in this pack and I think that's really cool 👏👏

The lots that James built are amazing. Specially the community lots

As someone who lives in country woodland small towns this world makes my heart soar. Especially the swimable lake, makes me think of good times when I was young. Absolutely love the world!

It's so funny to me that James built so many of the community lots with a rags to ritches gameplay in mind. They're amazing and fit the aesthetic.

Fun fact: "volk" (волк) means "wolf" in Russian, and "Volkov" is a common russian last name (just like "Wolf" last name in English). Cute they added a household of werewolves under the family name "Wolf" :)

Honestly the best pack we’ve had in a long time. I’d say I am as stoked about this pack as I was about Cottage Living, and that pack was something I had wanted since Sims 2. I’m not even super into occult sims but this pack is just so so good.

The world and the werewolves are the selling point of the pack for me.

I was actually looking for a video just like this, I am not interested in Werewolves but LOVE the world! After watch Semaj build before release, I was so curious to see what the final version looked like.

I was insanely nervous with this pack coming out especially with the wedding pack, but this has absolutely blown me away. The sims are personalities and the world was made with lore in mind. Major props to the sims team. This is absolutely my favorite world. Sure, the lots might be small, but the actual world is MASSIVE! It feels less like a prop.

I really like the lore being supported by relationships and sentiments here. It's something we dont often see in Sims 4.

I really really love the grunge teenage rebel vibe this pack has. When I buy this pack I think I will find myself playing a lot with it

i love the style. i might end up getting the pack for the clothes

the world is amazing and so is the lore hidden everywhere, like greg eating a bed (i am not kiddin, that's official lore) or the mooncasters pots or the encanto reference (not lore but eh)

I love some of these recent worlds and it’s amazing how there are now actual simmers building the lots :D

I'm also impressed with the world! I think when I say I want open worlds, THIS is what I meant!!!! All of the neighborhoods in one gigantic world area with some functional some nonfunctional lots and houses the exact way they did this already! Do that again!

loved the fact that james turner built the lots in the world, it was fun watching him go through the process.

I don't love werewolves, but everyone working on this pack did SO WELL that I almost want to buy it XD

Even when I play with spellcasters I normally have them live somewhere else because glimmerbrook is so boring and if I want them to do stuff there I just have them travel to the magic realm cause it’s so much cooler But I love the world in this pack and I could see myself having sims live there even if they aren’t werewolves

I love the lore too! This reminds me of sims 2 when you would look into the townies memories to see what was going on in the neighbourhood 🧡🧡🧡

The world is amazing (at night this world is beautiful and inmmersive) , the gameplay is very good, the cas is good. Overall a grear pack

I love this pack. So far I’ve made a family of 3 humans. Who moved from the city to start their life in the wild. (As I imagine the homes in MoonMill are pretty cheap and to be begin they weren’t necessarily wealthy) Everyone in town are werewolves except them, and they have to learn to be accepted. It’s a close knit community and eventually I want the daughter to fall in love with a werewolf and have that whole human x werewolf storyline! Such a great pack!!

I was not here for werewolves, until I saw the gameplay and the attention to detail this time round. Very Happy.

I'm totally with you on this. I'd move spellcasters and maybe even vampires into this world. It's just so OPEN. Almost gives Sims 3 open world vibes. I love it. Props to James and the team for this one.

Can we just appreciate that lilsimsie makes videos for us every day?

Seeing starter houses that I don't immediately have to change is such a good feeling. They've done way better with this pack then a lot of there pervious ones

This is the first occult focussed pack I've bought, and it's soo good! Woot! 🌙✨

James' videos about the process for making these builds have been great!

I love that having a simmer focus on the lots means that we get great builds and they have more time to focus on things like lore

This pack gives me strong gravity falls/stranger things vibes - from the world to the clothes and the build items. I love it

I love the lore and the fights between vampire, spellcasters and the werewolves. I like the world. I'm glad it's better than the Wedding stories pack I think they kinda made up for it.

when I heard werewolves, I thought that it sounds kinda boring.. but Im actually impressed with everything this pack has! new world, new build/buy, new cas, game play!

I was thinking of getting this pack just for the world 🤣 I’ve never been super into werewolves, but the town is stunning. I just don’t think I can justify spending $20 when money is tight and the world only has like 5 lots. I just really wish they’d add more lots.

Absolutely in love with the library! The design and detail is fantastic, and it's perfect for a runaway teen story/challenge - I can't wait to plop my newly turned pups into that empty lot and have them live out of the library.

I really like this new pack! It feels like it would be fun to renovate the full set of lots to suit a mix of supernatural sims. The mysterious tunnels, the large lake and water features, and the nighttime setting make it feel appropriate to spellcasters, mermaids, and vampires to me. Aliens have always felt a little separate from the other supernaturals to me (more sci-fi than fantasy I guess), but with the moon tracking I feel like aliens would fit right in too, and the build items from this pack match the Strangerville style of items really well! Edit: wait. Plants / Pets / Ponds household with a Plant sim, werewolf sim, and mermaid sim. i might do this

I love the aesthetic of the werewolf pack so much!! I also love werewolves and occults so I really want this pack

This world is so cool The sims 4 are getting so much better at creating worlds

i love how open world this one feels

I can see myself using this world a lot. I loveee how it looks and all the details!

This pack seems like it took so much work to make, which is crazy for a game pack! It feels like an expansion pack hahahaha I’m obsessed. They really stepped up their game this time around

I feel like with the more open world feel they are preparing for the sims 5 with little to no load screens. I love this pack!

i imagine this world is somewhere between henford on bagley and granite falls. i always theorize what worlds lead into eachothwr by the scenery and it def looks like granite falls/glimerbrook/henford forests

I think a cosmetology expansion pack would be so cool! Like so much gameplay, build mode, and cas objects would have to come with it! They could put a playable career as a cosmetologist (hairdresser, makeup artist, aesthetician, nail tech, etc.). They could also make a cosmetology school and complete a certain amount of hours. I think the school should be as long as it would take to get through a university year or semester or whatever. The point is that would be so cool and so fun! Maybe they could even make a new world with salons and the school and a sim version of cosmoprof and Sally’s beauty stores!

Whenever simsie makes videos like this, it always makes me super inspired and almost persuaded to get the pack. Out of all the packs I have, I feel like I’ll enjoy this pack the most! Just seeing this video already makes me absolutely ADMIRE this pack, the details, and the backstory’s. Also, thanks simsie for making awesome videos every singular day, (I’m subscribed)

Small little lore I learned from Tiktok but Lily is actually Caleb’s and Lilith’s (from the Vampire Pack) cousin. They were close until Lilith started getting involved with the “Dark Arts”. It was revealed that Lilith was turned by Vlad and that Caleb was turned by Miss Hell, a Sim featured in the trailer but not in-world. Anyways, Lilly stated that she was already growing apart from her family but was furthered pushed by both of them turning into life states that were considered mortal enemies.

I love this world wayyyy more then I thought i would 😳 they managed to fit in so much on so few lots 😆

This world is absolutely the best one of the smaller gamepack ones so far! I find some of the expansion pack ones more interesting but they obviously have an advantage of being larger and having more objects/lots/sims etc. for how limited they seem to have to make the gamepack worlds this one feels like it has more content than a few of the large ones!

I love that James made the library perfect for people doing rags to riches. Like he set it up to where that could be a place to go if you’re trying to do the challenge

I couldn't have cared less about werewolves in the Sims 4, I was like "No way I am going to buy that game pack". But now seeing what it has to offer, I am almost convinced that I will buy it. It looks fantastic!

This by far has the be one of the best pack and the best occults 10/10 pack

this is the first occult pack i bought for my game & i love it!! it's been so much fun to play & build in this world. also you referencing dan howell made me giggle :)

i hope that with the werewolves and vampires that we get to have hybrids too. i think it would be so cool.

I really love this pack! I don’t play with occults much so I probably won’t use the werewolves much, but they are fun. The main thing I love is the cas, as well as the world. A lot of the build stuff is great too! Overall a great pack!

Love pine forests so much, the world is amazing. Not a fan of werewolves but it brings back that Maxis charm that the old games used to have. I really miss Sims 2 PsP and DS, the aliens and military conspiracies were truly my favorite. Sims 2 and Bustin’ Out were the epitome of those pop culture references, loved that era.

the world is so cool, so well thought. I'm in love with this pack, and I really like the werewolves

I 100% believe this world was inspired by the Twilight series. Think about it! Jacob is the potential heir? The werewolf sparing area!?? Y’all

I would LOVE for them to go back to some of the old supernatural packs and refresh them with new attention to detail. I am so hype for this pack!!

could you build greg's house? the exterior from the unplayable one in the world and give it an interior?

i’m honestly shocked at how.. good this pack is

i have a bunch of respect to EA for adding so much detail to this pack! I personally don’t play with occults a lot but after seeing the detail and lore i might invest!!!

I absolutely adore the world too Kayla it’s beautiful!!

I love the new world too! They did a good job on the pack!

I feel like of the worlds released in the last year or 2, it's probably my favorite world. And James's builds are amazing.

ooooh i love the stories the townies come with. Like you could make the author of the books live in a different world and visit it sometimes and other stuff like that

i played this pack for several hours and i legit had so much fun, i was laughing so much. they did a great job with this one

I’m glad to keep seeing improvements by the sims team

I already have two ideas for sims to play, one is a 'classy' and powerful werewolf family, who's twins are complete opposites (one embraces the feral side of being a werewolf, and the other embraces just pure power & sees her lycanthropy as a means to getting power) who moved there to seek out the help of their old friend because their toddler son shows no signs of being a werewolf (husband is convinced of cheating.) And also a young child is left turned into a werewolf after their entire family was killed by one and Kristopher's old friend who's a human social worker takes the child to Moonwood Mills in order for them to get help for their newfound lycanthropy and fear of werewolves

I do believe I absolutely LOVE this world! It's my favorite!

This makes me want a revamp for Vampires world. There are only four lots in it, after all. They could expand the world into something bigger like this. Maybe turn the present Vlad's mansion into a library/community center (functional graveyard?!) and give him a castle shell to skulk around. Perhaps, make that boarded up cave where bats come through into a rabbit hole passageway that takes you to his secluded, spooky mansion that is hidden away. Then add in more lore snippets on tombstones and in the vampire tomes. (Those are some thick, expensive tomes. They should be able to tell more about Vlad, the vampires in the portraits and the like.) 'Make that small island in the lake accessible (but you have to work a bit to find the way to it) and have it be the only place you can collect something rare. It also makes me want Realm of Magic to have a better lore system with the NPC sages fleshed out some. You got a small story regarding to why the Magic Realm is all disjointed and all, but other than that... Give us some history of the Realm before the void, the things the sages must do or put up with among the three of them to keep things in balance and all that jazz.

I would like to see an option for adding split lots residential rental w/ retail. Or multiple residential, to build tiny home neighborhoods. Get larger lots w/ options to split up for building communities w/ mix of commercial and residential.

Definitely one of my favorite worlds. Can’t wait to get the pack

I just hope they continue to be this great and detailed with regular family game play because I think that’s important since most players are realistic like myself, although I will be getting this pack and exploring it to the fullest, the world is amazing, cas, bnb all amazing, and I am excited to experience this.

I’m getting into your old videos but I LOVE how quick you are because I just seen the trailer

Just wanted to say… My daughter (she’s 5) absolutely love you and your videos. I couldn’t agree more. She certainly has good taste. Sending you lots of love and only good vibes.

this pack honestly slays but i hate that they beat up their stuff 💀💀

This world is soooo good. I can't believe I saw some people complaining about them adding this new world.

Ahhh! Yayyyyy , literally been binge watching your videos hoping you would post a new one today 😂💕💕🥺

Lore!!! I’m so glad they’re giving real backstories and relationships between townies

The books are great! It's a running series about a character named Peter Barker. I immediately bought them for my sims

"I wanna go properly play with the pack" (15:48) True on more than one level 😁

Im Loving the World And Characters, the lore is intresting. Having the sims community building lots, Maybe there will be hope for Sims 5 nuilding?

i absolutely love that if you have two sims and they’re both away from the home lot, they’re still around

I love the werewolf pack, you can roam around. lots to explore :D

Anyone else realize when looking at the kitchen there were three used chairs and one looking relatively unused? James did an excellent job.

I really hope they go back and update some of the old packs

I don't buy packs and just play base game but this looks so fun!

werewolves aren’t my thing, but this pack still has me super excited!! it gives me hope that future packs will be loaded with just as much detail as werewolves does!!!

im loving the pack so far and have been having a lot of fun discovering the lore. one annoying thing though, with minimal spoilers, is that i learned that lily is related to some other sims in the game, and they seem to be really important to her. but just like johnny zest and the landgraabs, its just not there. they dont even know eachother. i know those sims werent from the werewolf pack so i dont know how possible it is to make that relationship exist, but it sure is disappointing learning about the relation after my sim already joined lilys pack and got engaged to lilys treasured lost relative she talks about a lot because for a moment i thought that would make for a really cool inadvertent reunion but its actually completely meaningless as far as actual gameplay is concerned

I have no interest in werewolves or occults but this world seems cool and the game pack seems like it could be fun! I’ll probably enjoy watching other simmers play it, rather than get it myself though but I’ll have fun watching!

Ok not gonne lie but christophers BEARD is a work of art! I adore the mix you can do it is insanely handsome

One of my favorites if not THE favorite world in The Sims 4
