This isn’t the first time The Sims have explored the preternatural world. in fact, they introduced the career of ghost hunter in The Sims 3 Ambitions Expansion Pack more than two years ago in 2010. It must have been a popular career choice because come September 2012 will open up a whole new world of magic, mystery and more with The Sims 3 Supernatural Expansion Pack. And this time, instead of just investigating hauntings, players will get to create and live as supernatural Sims including werewolves, vampires and faeries.
