Alien occult overhaul for GTW
I posted a similar topic in the old forums, but it wasn't carried over. This discussion is similar but has new suggestions and explanations (post has been edited). So, aliens are an occult sim avail...

BGC stands for base game compatible. Aliens are a base game occult sim. Get to work expanded gameplay related to aliens and added Sixam to the game. Get to work genuinely needs a refresh and update. Many players have commented on this extensively in the old forums. I don't know if EA would ever release a free update to get to work, especially if they intended to add the features I suggested to improve alien related gameplay. They might instead release this content as a new pack. Honestly, I own over 40 DLCs. I'm sure other players have invested hundreds of dollars into the sims franchise in general and the sims 4 specifically. EA could show some customer appreciation and release a free patch update to give get to work an overhaul.
And I agree that any sim should be able to attend or host an alien party., regardless of career.
Ok.
However, alien life state isn't from the base game. They are from Get to Work. I even googled it to see if I missed something. Nope, no news of them being brought to base game like Photography skill was. The base game does feature a green skin tone to all sims and little alien critter collection for sims using the space ship, but for alien life state, alien-specific eyes, alien abduction etc you need Get to Work. You could try removing Get to Work expansion pack and seeing if you can add an alien in CAS.
That is why I'm against it being a pack: it would be alien version of My First Pet stuff, aka DLC for DLC. I'm rather for it being done as Get to Work refresh.
Yes, a get to work overhaul would be a better concept rather than an individual pack. Especially since many features would be dependent on get to work. I thought the alien life state had been made base game, seeing as some features like photography were transferred to base game. On the other hand, EA releases DLC content and oftentimes doesn't provide suitable compatibility updates across existing packs.
