There are unfortunately only five levels to the Medium skill, as it counts as a Minor Skill, and once players have maxed out their Sim's abilities, the options for séances grow stale. Players do have the option to send their Sim to work in the typical Rabbit-Hole style when they get tired of calling on spirits and clearing Accursed Objects, which can help add some variety to a Sim's workday. The new active Paranormal Investigator career, Medium skill, and Haunted House exploration features are a lot of fun and make a great new addition to the game, but, like other active careers and activities in The Sims 4, they do grow repetitive after a time. These could have been excellent options for the regular Lot Traits menu so players could have added haunted Restaurants, Pools, and Libraries to their towns. The only way to get these lot traits is to set a residential lot to Haunted House Residential, which will automatically exclude public lots from having these traits. They can hold séances at the new Séance Table, join the new active career, Freelance Paranormal Investigator, to clear homes of spirits like in Phasmophobia, and explore or even live in Haunted Houses, if they dare. Players can improve their Sim's Medium skill, a new Minor Skill that will allow them to better communicate with the dead and summon spirits to any location. Where packs like Nifty Knitting Stuff only included one new mechanic for players to enjoy and a handful of new Build and Buy Mode and Create A Sim items, the Paranormal Stuff pack adds tons of new features that, while not especially deep, provide variety and make the pack a worthwhile addition to any player's collection. Gameplay elements included in The Sims 4: Paranormal Stuff are quite a bit deeper than players have come to expect from these smaller DLC packs. Players can have their Sims simply dabble in the occult, or become a full-fledged Paranormal Investigator tasked with cleansing a home of malevolent specters.
