We should have a better occult picker and here's my idea
Something that really annoys me in The Sims 4 is how the game handles occult creation in CAS. You must go to New Sim > Create an Occult > Pick the desired occult.
The way it works is not good, because if you forget to pick the occult type before generating the Sim, then you go making them for a long time, etc, etc and you notice that the Sim was meant to be an occult, you have these options:
Delete the Sim and create another (least desirable choice)
Save that Sim, go to Live Mode and do the steps to turn them into the desired occult (doesn't work for Aliens, as they can only be born or created, not transformed)
Cheat the Sim into the desired occult in Live Mode (works, but it's not the ideal)
So, what I propose is to create a new system for picking our Sims' occult type, letting us choose while we're creating them on CAS.

In this way, you can freely choose your Sims' occult form while you are creating them. Also, I added Ghosts creation in CAS, as we're currently not able to make them there, only by gameplay or cheats.
If it seems familiar to you, this is the same way how creating occult Sims in The Sims 3: Supernatural works.
This would need some caution for sure, like warning that switching between occults in CAS makes you lose what you made on secondary forms if the previous occult had one, and adding a warning of potential gameplay issues if someone tries changing a Sim from one occult to another using cas.fulleditmode after that Sim was played in Live Mode. or even blocking this option.
So, what do you think about my idea?
