I don't play occult Sims right now but I would if they were fleshed out, there was a reason to play them and everything worked correctly. I did vampires once but then I found out they were broken and lost interest. I have played all of them at least once and just don't care anymore. Mermaids were disappointing. Aliens need special powers. I found playing a spellcaster boring and repetitive. IMO The charging thing limits game play. I don't like cool downs. Just let me play the game. I have played aliens the most. Ghosts just break things and scare Sims and their voices are creepy. Thinking about trying vampires again because I read somewhere that they were fixed but not if they hiss all the time. I do think we should have options for which occult appear in the game like before in other Sims games. I remember being able to go into options and being able to choose. I welcome more. They are fun to try but I may not play them again. I did not and will buy any pack just to get an occult. For me it's all for the build/buy items. Vampires has the best for build/buy!
