How Should I Dive Into All the Sims 4 DLC I Just Bought? Looking for Occult-Themed Ideas

One idea is to create an occult family storyline, like maybe a werewolf and a spellcaster falling in love. Build some drama around their kids, like one of their children getting involved with a vampire and dealing with that tension. You can even use clubs or social hangouts to make an in-game community for your occult story.

I was overwhelmed too when I first got all the packs! What helped was picking an occult I loved — like witches — and focusing just on that sim. I trained her magical skills and explored the magic realm. Then I started separate families for other occults like vampires, werewolves, mermaids, and aliens, with different careers and storylines. Their kids marry across families to keep things interesting. It lets you enjoy all the new maps and professions without overload. Also, heads up: university life DLC can be confusing, so maybe watch some guides before jumping into it.

You could try a legacy challenge where each generation focuses on a different occult type. That way, you get to really explore vampires, werewolves, witches, aliens, mermaids, and more without it feeling overwhelming. It kinda paces the gameplay so you can enjoy each DLC fully.

Honestly, don’t stress about trying to use everything at once. Having all the DLC means tons of options, not obligations. Start by creating a sim you find cool — maybe a doomsday prepper living off-grid, using skills and hobbies without modern tech, just taking it slow. You can build up characters over time, and when you feel bored with one, start fresh with another. Filling the game world with interesting sims gives you cool cameos and ongoing stories without pressure.
