Not only Supernaturals are affected but normal Sims can also be affected. For example, a normal Sim may get the Lunacy Buff, which will cause them to act slightly odd and perhaps perform a Lunatic Slap or Lunatic Embrace with another Sim or he will freak out. The lunar cycle supports every town.
 * Others
 * ​Lunar Cycles - The newest gameplay feature is the Lunar Cycle and its effects on Sims in The Sims 3 Supernatural. Players will notice strange happenings, enchanted transformations and effects on magical potency as the moon changes its phases.

 * Supernaturals will be able to Simport, but in order for your friends to see them perform in their supernatural form, they will need to have Supernatural installed.
