There are no more 'normal' careers, like Medical, Law Enforcement, Business, Teaching, etc.

Lots of little things are missing, as well. Goodbye, pink hair with lime green highlights.

There's also no longer the option to change hair colours via the colour wheel you may only choose from a handful of 'natural' colours like blonde, brown, black, grey, etc.

Most of the clothing and objects have 3-7 recolour options (though some of the clothes have 10+ recolour options), but there's no longer the ability to truly customize things with as many options as there were before. There's a Satisfaction Point menu in the game (much like in The Sims 3), which allows for players to redeem their points for objects, upgrades, or special traits. These points are only accrued upon fulfilling one of your Sim's whims, or upon completion of your Sim's Aspirations (more that later, too). Satisfaction Points are The Sims 4's new version of Reward Points (introduced in The Sims 2). Much like Sims 3, however, when you successfully achieve your Sim's whim, you're rewarded with Satisfaction Points. Whims are a bit different from the wants in Sims 3 there are only three whims at a time, you can only 'promise' or save one whim at a time, and the whim on the far left constantly fluctuates depending on your Sim's mood at the time. The Sims 3 had 'wishes' and The Sims 2 had 'wants/fears', but The Sims 4 has 'whims.' Whims are little bubbles that appear over your Sim's head in the UI, and they represent things your Sim wants to either obtain or achieve. Speaking of whims-they're technically new to the game, too.

Is the sims 4 spooky stuff worth it
