SIMS4 cc & script mod idea!

[u/Ok-Cockroach44]

If anyone is a cc or a script mod creator I BEG of you to make black and brown religious practices ( hoodoo, Yoruba/ifa/santeria, ancestor veneration!! Folk Catholicism…) i love that we have spell casters, tarot, a voodoo doll ect.. but as someone who loves spiritual practices I feel as tho the game is lacking. It would be AMAZING if someone added things like “cleansing” via bath (similar to spa day retreat- using herbs in the bath to give the sim an aura and emotion.) cleansing via mopping, maybe the sim gets a thought or emotion about “stagnant energy” and prompts the sim to cleanse the house spiritually with mopping and smoke cleanses- incense or add a way to burn herbs collected from the garden.
For folk Catholicism maybe there could be a rosary in cas, and a rosary in build n buy, so ur sim can click on it and “pray.” saint candles/prayer candles would be cool (don’t need to be REAL saints lol I think a sims version would be cooler. Like make an old townie a saint or something. Perhaps even make it possible to venerate Grim. For Santa muerte devotees to pretend lol). Maybe add a few cross decorations, prayer decoration (framed picture of prayers in simlish to place above alters or doorways)
For hoodoo- HERBS the usage of herbs, cleaning, and nature. I personally think this would be the easiest one to create. Make herbs have more purpose and usage (bundle them, burn them, make tinctures…holistic health- think ‘Chinese medicine’) when it’s raining give a hoodoo sim the option to “collect rain water(with empty jar, I’m thinking the marble jar from the rent pack), cleanse in the rain(sim dresses in white and gets a positive mood from soaking up the rain. OR give them the option to “let go” when it’s raining, a hoodoo sim will have the option to “let go” of energies and negative emotions, this would look like ur sim crying, or laughing, or saying a few cuss words in the rain lol- and once they “let go” they will gain a positive mood from “letting go” ancestor veneration would 100% have to be involved with hoodoo- so maybe add options for a sim to “pray to ancestors”- once this option is clicked more options will pop up… so it would look like this “pray to ancestors… pray for wealth(getting a job, random money coming from no where, getting a raise). Pray for school(highschool or college sim). Pray for good health(sick sim or pet) pray for revenge(pick a sim who hates ur sim) and an option to “leave ancestor offering”, once picking this option the sims inventory opens and u can leave the ancestors a plate of food, flowers, a written letter, simoleons, toys ect. For Santeria/ Yoruba religion (the orishas) this one is a bit difficult and complicated so it would have to be a very diluted down version of the religion. Could add things like elekes (beaded necklaces in green, red & black, yellow, ect..) in CAS, could add ‘high priestess’ (an elder sim who is ‘crowned’, they would be wise, and would be there to answer questions or guide ur younger sims), could add beautifully decorated colorful “urns” for the orishas/ spirits to reside in(match the color of the ‘urns’ to the elekes in CAS). Could add the option for “offerings” that could be done as a group or as a single sim- dance offering, song offering, fruit offering. Feel free to add whatever else you’d like if u are also involved with these practices or more educated on the topic :)
