Expand Mermaids and Aliens

I think Aliens and Mermaids DEFINITELY need to be expanded way more. Vampires, spellcasters, and Werewolves all have skill trees with ranks and perks. Why can't aliens and mermaids have the same? Its very easy to say "just find a mod that does it" but why are there 5 occults and only 3 of them actually have depth to them? I feel like aliens are just there to look odd, be discovered angrily or confidently by a human sim, and chat about human foods, and mermaids are just there to play with dolphins, change the weather, and try to drown people. (I have played with aliens more than mermaids so I may be unaware of some of the things mermaids can do)

Like why can't they have skill trees?

I know they came in an expansion pack and weren't the main focus like Werewolves, vampires, or Spellcasters, but they shouldn't just be aesthetic landmarks in the packs they come from. I want some diversity between aliens/mermaids and their abilities. Maybe ranks wouldn't work, but at least give them abilities they can get with experience points?

    @SianAF148 Exactly, i feel like if it's too much to give a skill tree in a EP they could give us an occult specific skill with new interactions and abilities for the occults

    Really hope they'll update them at some point (hopefully soon). It'd be nice to not have to rely on mods for something that should have been implemented in the first place... still upset there's no underwater content in Island Living, like there was in Sims 3 Island Paradise, along with boat houses (that you could move). Hope they do an update to allow that in the future as well. Don't care if it's a separate expansion. For Aliens, I also miss the Alien sleeping pods, hot tub and shower from the Sims 2 (PS2 version). Those were so cool! Mermaids and Aliens definitely got the short end of the stick this time around! No underwater content for the mermaids and everything that it entailed (underwater sleeping, exploration, eating fish and seaweed, swimming from point A to point B by default, ect), Aliens with their broken disguise system (which shouldn't be forced as that was never a thing in previous installments, don't know why it is now) and limited CAS (although it is better than previous versions from Sims 2 and 3), social options, and lack of skill-tree (which Mermaids also lack). There's not even Mermaid or Alien themed furniture (other than a bassinet and mailbox for the Aliens)! I also don't think Aliens and Mermaids should be able to sleep in regular beds. Aliens should have pods like the ones from Sims 2 PS2 and Mermaids should have maybe a hydro chamber or something (along with being able to sleep underwater like Sims 3 Island Paradise rather than just floating on their backs in the water). A giant Clam shaped bed and bassinet that can be placed underwater (ocean and pools) for Mermaids would be really neat!

    Also, please bring back the Kraken! Oh, and sharks. 😉
