What sort of occults would you like?
In view of the recent activity regarding werewolves, thought I'd do a sampler of what sorts of occults players want. Apologies if this was done long ago.

Bethesda doesn't have a trademark on talking humanoid cats, they'd just have to call them Catfolk or something in the Sims.
I'd actually like a new occult like Plantsims - an occult that's basically totally invented by EA/Maxis. Nobody can complain that its portrayal doesn't fit the thousands of different folk stories about something that EA just made up themselves!
Or they could pivot off the existing occults and just come up with variations - just a whole occult expansion that includes new abilities to become werecows or werellamas, emotion vampires (they don't drink blood or energy, but if they're around you they can choose to absorb your emotional buffs! This could be good or bad depending on the emotion! Like imagine an emotion vampire being able to suck the "awful holiday" moodlet or the "I'm a toddler and I'm sad my grandpa who I never met died" moodlet), and then... I don't know how you'd alter the magic users... but for mermaids they could add options like you could be an octopus-woman or you could appear like the terrifying mermaids of Rumiko Takahashi's Mermaid Forest. This pack would also be a collaboration with the Star Wars pack and give your alien sims the opportunity to have their real alien selves actually be Star Wars aliens. So like, your sim Slackjaw Handsomepants who is a very handsome man is actually an alien whose true form looks like Yoda!
I don't even like occults but I'd love the werecow option.
