sooo, I was dying to finally play both VTM and CTD from WoD, and as soon as my good trans sister Pandora snagged a seat in the new season of La Furiosa Concepción, ofc I jumped in.

I had already reimagined most of the Sims 3 Bridgeport vampires as VTM characters in my headcanon, but my obvious choice this time was to play Elvira Slayer. in my sims 4 canon, she’s a registered nurse and part of Mirage Integral, Dina Caliente’s beauty & rejuvenation clinic. her plan? turning baby plantsim Star Shue (yes, that one from Hidden Springs) into a plasmafruit-plantsim hybrid for consumption.

the stakes could even intertwine with Changeling: The Lost 👀, because why not layer in some extra weirdness.

and the setting, Concepción, Chile, is perfect: a city of politics, shadows and secrets, where even a simple briefcase can tilt the balance of power 👁️👄👁️

p.a. elwire 'elvira slayer' șlăweru; adult, ♑; evil, genius, outgoing, proper, overachiever | lookbook | see all townies

the myth is working. she’s not here to correct it

born in 1786, she tells people she’s from ravena. that her family chose glasshouses over crests: her father, a botanical scholar who cultivated medicinal orchids in the shadow of collapsing empires; her mother, a windenburgish aristocrat who preferred winters and reputation. elwire was raised between apothecary greenhouses and snow covered estates, fluent in poisons and etiquette. during the napoleonic campaigns, she claims she nursed soldiers, not out of mercy, but boredom and diplomacy. she was turned sometime after. not out of romance, but precision: the procedure, she says, was surgical. now she signs elvira. somewhere between borders and centuries, the name began to suit her better. the surname, though, never changed. she is, and always has been, her father’s daughter. in the west coast, patients call her nurse slayer, mishearing her accent and she never corrects them. they mean it kindly, seductively, superstitiously. she lets them. when they ask how she stays so youthful, she only smiles and says, 'it’s all in the bloodwork'. the myth is easier than the woman and if they mishear, it’s because they’re not entirely wrong. If humans are ever right about anything, it’s the way izzy yells “slaaayyy” when she walks in. a licensed p.a. at mirage integral’s rejuvenation wing, elvira manages both the transfusion files and the arboretum where experimental plasma trees grow under calibrated moonlight. the consent forms are her own design: not documentation, but legal sleight of hand, all buried clauses, hypotheticals, and backdoor permissions. 'residual biologic material may be redirected toward specialized research under discretionary protocols', they read. what isn’t signed is taken through charm, vague phrasing or just letting the room go a little dim elvira didn’t follow vladisław; she chose to work with him because they were after the same kind of control. together, they believed empires could be ruled through silence, science, and myth. while he drifts toward new order sympathies: hybrid talk, cohabitation, apologies; elvira watches him closely. she remains loyal to the old pact: precise, silent, and unyielding. she’s a nomad, but iconic wherever she lingers. she prefers winter cities and evening shifts. She never stays long, but always leaves a trace: a glance in a mirror, a flagged chart, a name no one remembers adding. she has no heirs. but lately, something in the arboretum catches her attention: not plant, not fully human.

Daily Life and Simulation Improvements

The Sims 4 already gives us tools to tell personal stories but daily life often feels static, repetitive or superficial. This part of Opportunity Awaits isn’t about cluttering gameplay with busywork; it’s about giving depth, choice, and consequence to the everyday so Sims feel like they’re actually living.

Apart from the features detailed in the infographic, here are some upgrades we think could really bring Sims’ daily life to life and that feel realistically doable for EA:

🧩 More and better tought out skills: separate dance style, everyday trades as gameplay, intellectual and developmental skills with weight

🍳 Cooking overhaul: more global recipes, dietary options and preferences panel (think gender options panel)

💼 Careers in daily life: everyday work outside rabbit holes: office gossip, coffee breaks, meetings, union organizing and side hustles that tie careers into family and community

🧼 Hygiene, Dental & Vision Care: personal care that carries stakes: cavities, glasses, medical bills and how neglect shapes moods, autonomy, appearance and relationships.

Which Opportunity Awaits upgrades feel most doable for EA? What could already be included in base game or any expansion pack? Sound off in the comments, reblogs and tags!

@honeysylvan, @citylighten, @bleumanouchesims and i have been shaping this project for weeks. what started as a wishlist turned into a full design pitch and the timing speaks for itself.

with the constant uproar over EA’s failure to properly address the game, the updates and the community, it’s clear we need more than scattered threads of frustration.

that’s why we’re opening this up. Opportunity Awaits isn’t just ours, it’s OURS. a living project, a collective push. we’re putting ideas on the table not to say 'do this exactly' but to show that the fanbase already knows how to build the sims we deserve.

we want you to read it, share it, add to it, argue with it, sharpen it. this is an invitation to shape with us.

because at the end of the day, the message is simple: EA, see your fucking fanbase.

General Improvements

The Sims 4 has grown into a sprawling, beloved world; but it could be so much more. Opportunity Awaits is a player-led initiative imagining what TS4 could be if it truly belonged to everyone: richer, deeper and more connected across all playstyles. We’re advocating for improvements that address long-standing bugs, expand gameplay and embed meaningful cultural representation. This isn’t just dreaming, it’s showing EA and the community that organized voices can guide the future of the game.

Here’s what the initiative argues for at the foundation:
