Aliens game pack suggestion
Just a pack idea that could bring justice to aliens and explore more of its background and aesthetic. Feel free to give your suggestion and discuss mine or other ideas. • Cyberpunk City on Sixam ...

@bluehope9 Great ideas! Really love the idea of Aliens "learning" how to human, LoL.
There are so many possibilities for Alien gameplay. Aliens deserve some love, and so do Mermaids (and so do playable Ghosts).
The problem with introducing Occult Sims in an expansion pack is they are shortchanged and overshadowed. The main focus of the expansion pack isn't the Occult, it's the world (Sulani) or gameplay (Active Careers) they came in. There are some realism players who would prefer to disable Occult Sims from these expansions because it breaks their realism play-style. Occults are a style of gameplay for a specific player type. Game Packs are the perfect vehicle to put full focus and development on Occults.
This begs the question, if there are no refreshes planned for the future (which I hope isn't the case), would it be possible for Aliens and Mermaids to get their own occult Game Pack (GP) independent of their respective expansion packs?
Actually, it begs a few questions:
Would Get To Work (GtW) be required DLC for Aliens to appear in a separate dedicated Game Pack (GP)?
Could a GP-Alien appear without Get To Work?
Would the code of a GP-Alien conflict with the GtW-Alien if both of these packs were installed?
If Get To Work is installed after an Alien Game Pack, would the GtW-Alien override/conflict with the GP-Alien?
The expansion packs that gave us Aliens and Mermaids only provided a small glimpse of these fun new life states. Mermaids and Aliens are just too interesting to leave to obscurity. We shouldn't ignore these Occults, we should explore them.
Just in case the team doesn't have any answers for this yet:
For Aliens we could go for specific species of alien that doesn't co flict with what we already have. We have unknown planets like Ilustria and Bloodwar, and they could introduce us a new type of alien, Ilustrians and Bloodwartians/Bloodwarriors. The Get to Work aliens could be renamed to Sixamians/Sixamites.
For mermaids i like to think that they could be reintroduced as faeries since mermaid are commonly described as a being part of the fae folk or having similar creatures like nixies, kelpies, naiads, nereids, ondines, etc.
It'd also be wonderful if we could have the collectible alien as interactive pets. And if you ask me how they would move around i'd say: Flying/Floating.
