SimGurus took to Twitter to release bits of info on The Sims 4 Paranormal Stuff!
lights flickering and Sims reacting to lights flickering are part of the pack. There will be a new Reward Trait for this pack that influences the Scared emotion.

Sorry, no cemeteries in this pack, but I'd love to see them someday too.
— SimGuruConor (@SimGuruConor) January 14, 2021
Screaming confirmed 😆
— SimGuruConor (@SimGuruConor) January 14, 2021
I'm 99% sure I got the "Scared of Monster" Buff included! 😅
— SimGuruConor (@SimGuruConor) January 14, 2021
Yeah Briana did an amazing job this pack, you gotta play this pack with headphones on to fully appreciate a Haunted House!
— SimGuruConor (@SimGuruConor) January 14, 2021
Bonehilda is summoned through the Séance Table this time around! More on that in the next blog!
— SimGuruConor (@SimGuruConor) January 14, 2021
And it lights up during Seances too!
— SimGuruConor (@SimGuruConor) January 14, 2021
Cats and Dogs will react these inanimate intruders in game!
— SimGuruConor (@SimGuruConor) January 14, 2021
No Scare to Death, sorry 😢. But Haunted Houses still have ways of killing your Sims…
— SimGuruConor (@SimGuruConor) January 14, 2021
Oh no, I meant that some buffs that were previously Uncomfortable will now be Scared instead. The vast majority of Uncomfortable buffs remain untouched.
— SimGuruConor (@SimGuruConor) January 14, 2021
I'm pretty sure the nightwraith was covered. As for Vampires… I was on the fence how Vampires should react to fear. Until one day I saw Vlad being chased away by angry Specters, and then I knew Vampires should be big scaredy-cats too.

😉

Y'all reading too much into things. 😩 No baby update with this pack
— SimGuruConor (@SimGuruConor) January 14, 2021
All lights should flicker!
— SimGuruConor (@SimGuruConor) January 14, 2021
Bonehilda cant move in, she's got places to be 💀
— SimGuruConor (@SimGuruConor) January 14, 2021
The color of the Specter depends on how haunted the current lot is (in most cases). Green Specters are friendly, Blue Specters are kind of indifferent, and Red Specters are kinda what you imagine. ☠️ I think there is one more Specter type lurking somewhere though…
— SimGuruConor (@SimGuruConor) January 14, 2021
I think the bigger question is what ARE Specters? 🤔
— SimGuruConor (@SimGuruConor) January 14, 2021
Its a small advantage, Spellcasters gain Medium Skill faster due to their familiarity with mystic arts. The Medium Skill is very useful for living in a Haunted House, and the sooner a Sim masters it the easier for everyone. I'll go into more detail on the Medium skill next week.
— SimGuruConor (@SimGuruConor) January 14, 2021
Its a special Sell interaction on haunted treasure that provides Fame!
— SimGuruConor (@SimGuruConor) January 14, 2021
She'll clean your house, fix anything broken, garden, and lay out food for your Sims to name a few. She doesn't cost money either! I'll go more into what she's capable of in the next blog too.
— SimGuruConor (@SimGuruConor) January 15, 2021
Paranormal Investigators will find special loot that can be sold to an Oddity Collector for Fame
— SimGuruConor (@SimGuruConor) January 15, 2021
Adrenaline Seekers might find some of the scares rather enjoyable…
— SimGuruConor (@SimGuruConor) January 15, 2021
It was one of the first things I added honestly. That and other Maids reacting to her presence.
— SimGuruConor (@SimGuruConor) January 15, 2021
I think they should be retail compatible? I actually cant remember. Also no Collection for them, but a wide variety of knicknacks (plenty shown in the Trailer too)
— SimGuruConor (@SimGuruConor) January 15, 2021
in case my ambiguity was too subtle, Bonehilda can be woohoo'd with. Whatever you're into shes into as well.
— SimGuruConor (@SimGuruConor) January 15, 2021
Yeah that’s one! This one only plays when Sims are way too scared
— SimGuruConor (@SimGuruConor) January 15, 2021
This pack should be world agnostic. You can use this new lot type anywhere you want!
— Dave Miotke (@SimGuruNinja) January 12, 2021
@SimGuruConor will reveal all the details in our upcoming livestream but the new lot type will have an effect on this trait.
— Dave Miotke (@SimGuruNinja) January 13, 2021
Don't be scared. pic.twitter.com/WLseG12YGF
— Dave Miotke (@SimGuruNinja) January 14, 2021
No new aspiration in this pack.
— Dave Miotke (@SimGuruNinja) January 14, 2021
Feeling cute. May delete later. pic.twitter.com/XHIHWbV9lz
— Dave Miotke (@SimGuruNinja) January 12, 2021
But, why is it forbidden?
— 🔮 Ana 🔮 (@Ana__Andrea) January 15, 2021
You actively go to these gigs (not rabbitholes).
In the trailer, for example, clearing out The Pancake House, The Goth House, etc. was part of the career.
— Dave Miotke (@SimGuruNinja) January 12, 2021
Kids can eat them. FREE CANDY!
— Dave Miotke (@SimGuruNinja) January 15, 2021
Ectocakes!
— Dave Miotke (@SimGuruNinja) January 16, 2021
This is a great question, however we're going to have our Art Director on the Paranormal livestream to talk about the inspiration behind CAS & BB art style so I'm going to hold off answering this for now 🙂
