Eight Sims have an assigned skill, decorating style, and preferred color, and over time, they fill the lot with homes and decorations as their profits allow.  Me being me, I had to change it up a bit, so welcome to the OCCULT Tiny Town version of Deligracy&#8217;s great idea!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/simmichele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/10-15-24_10-34-30-AM-1024x698.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/simmichele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/10-15-24_10-34-30-AM-1024x698.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/simmichele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/10-15-24_10-34-30-AM-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/simmichele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/10-15-24_10-34-30-AM-768x524.jpg 768w, https:\/\/simmichele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/10-15-24_10-34-30-AM-1536x1047.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/simmichele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/10-15-24_10-34-30-AM.jpg 1778w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sims 4 only has five canonical occult races that you can access in Create A Sim:  vampire, alien, werewolf, spellcaster, and mermaid.  To get to eight, I expanded it a bit, adding a PlantSim, a ghost (a regular Sim killed, brought back to life, and added to the family), and a medium (a regular Sim who talks to the dead).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll be playing Occult Tiny Town on Mondays for the foreseeable future and adding new Sims as we go.  So far, our two Town citizens are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>London Burns, werewolf extraordinaire, woodworker, glutton, introvert.  I gave him a glorious beard, and he shaved it off in his first shower.  He&#8217;s the softest (in a good way!) werewolf I know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"775\" src=\"https:\/\/simmichele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/10-15-24_10-32-16-AM-1024x775.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/simmichele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/10-15-24_10-32-16-AM-1024x775.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/simmichele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/10-15-24_10-32-16-AM-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/simmichele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/10-15-24_10-32-16-AM-768x581.jpg 768w, https:\/\/simmichele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/10-15-24_10-32-16-AM.jpg 1356w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Casper White, ghost, animal lover (except that one wild rabbit that killed him), romantic, but a brat.
