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.

Since I started it, will go ahead. I honestly have no idea why all the fuss on werewolves. Not anti, just don't understand the attraction. On the other hand, have encountered the others in much of my reading and some gaming so think they would be a fun addition to the game. Think of how much livelier Granite Falls (or any world with forest) would be with these included.

I voted 1&2. They fit more with folklore than the third option and that suits my game best. I don’t really see a place for Mount Olympus in my world. I will say that elves seem to fit with Fey and option 2. Unless you mean high fantasy elves, but that’s not Classic mythology either. I actually might spring for a Tolkien inspired set of beings, though.

Werewolves + kitsuneDragons, Better plantsims,Fairies+ tbh all occult is welcomed if done well and if my computer would run the dang game :sweat_smile:

The more the merrier, let's have them all. I have always had an attraction to werewolves and vampires. With vampires it's always been about the romantic mystique that surrounds them, being courted, wooed, and swept off to eternity by the dashing count. Werewolves symbolize letting go of the confines of civilization and embracing primal urges and satisfying primal needs. Being an individual but also part of a collective that is bigger than the sum of its parts.Proper witches, not spellcasters, would be awesome too, and would dovetail nicely with fey folk for those who want occults that connect to nature. I would play the daylights out of a witch that was really connected to nature and the magical world around her. When I think of witches I think of someone totally in tune with Mother Nature, who knows how to use plants, earth's energy, connections to the animals to influence, to shape, and interact with the world for good, or evil, which ever path that witch chooses. I'm not as familiar with the other occults but why stop at witches, vampires, werewolves, and fairies. Better plantsims, aliens, ghosts, zombies, let's have them all.

I am happy with all of them being added to the game. But I picked the one that I desire most personally. I am most drawn to fea beings that are tied to nature. I want a GOOD plantsim soooo much. Dryads and wood sprites are my favorite thing ever. If we had a good plantsim, I could possibly pretend to have a dang dryad!! But any fairy will do.

What sort of occults would you like?

I wouldn't say no to either of the three options, but I'd rather have some sci-fi flavoured occults: Cyborgs (& cyber implants for regular sims) androids, A.I.s (might be able to possess humans with the correct implants), holograms, superheroes, steam-powered robots, maybe eldritch horrors.

yes to this too!

If werewolves turn out as good as Spellcasters and Vampires, I'll be pretty happy. I'll back any occult after that one. I'd still like to get Zombies, even if it's just a temp lifestate like Plantsims.

"What SORT of occults would you like?" is a very difficult question for me to answer, so instead I'll ask myself: "How MANY occults do I NOT want?"
The answer to that = 0.

I am fairly simple. The more the merrier here. However, I'll definitely prioritize the ones we're used to having like werewolves and fairies and the ones that have more significant gameplay differences. (I'd hope they wouldn't reduce elves to just the ears, but it wouldn't be the first time.)

True. Seems that most folks think of elves only as Santa's helpers, which is unfortunate. There's a lot more to gnomes than how the game has them as well.

The more occults the marrier.

I would actually like to see something totally new and fresh like angels, valkyries, elven kind etc. And they would have like abilities/powers tree to choose from like earthly, healing or battle skills. It would be so awesome to greate a neighborhoods with them having a rival with other occults. For example Angel could heal a Vampire to normal human and what else...Angels could heal broken hearts etc. I know sims is a familygame so maybe my dream of having a dragon age typed battling abilities is a bit too much tough. But something familyfriendly and not too cruel for childrens eyes would be fun. But any occult like fairies and warewolfs Im going to enjoy if they come.

An angel/demon pack would be pretty cool. :)
