[Idea] Occult Stuff Pack

RoM, V, W , IP, L&D, EbN and GtW all have occults with limited occult specific CAS and Build/Buy. I'd love a stuff pack to flesh out and fill in the blanks for occults. Some of the occult CAS and Build/Buy are merely themed such as Victorian for Vampires and nature inspired for EbN for example. However, the occults themselves could have a larger range of occult specific themes.  

  • Add missing occult ability trees for Mermaids and Aliens.
  • PlantSims be a permanent occult with an ability tree.
  • More traits that would help occult synergy (Mystical, Disruptive and Macabre are the closest occult friendly traits, if you want to discount the basic Good/Evil traits)
  • Lot traits that encourage each or every type of occult to visit and a trait disallow all occults!
  • Feathered and bat wings for Fairies or even Vampires (but be great if it could be any occult).
  • Missing single bed, fridge, stove, etc. for EbN nature theme.
  • RoM's The Iron Counter needs a cabinet counterpart (drives me nuts I don't have matching cabinets for my favourite counter).
  • Small appliances for various occults/themes.
  • Non-plant/flower nature themed CAS and Build/Buy. Air, fire and water/ice fairy themed attire and Build/Buy would be nice to have different elements Fairies. But these could also transcend to other occults such as Mermaids and Spellcasters.
  • Something to do with Spellcaster extra talent points!

Edit, Mar 3rd, 2026:

  • Practical Spellcaster's with Scruberoo use in when Hygiene is low (and/or use instead of "clean up/throw away"), Delicioso when Hunger is low, Floralorial for bugs/weeding, etc. autonomously.
  • Mischief Spellcaster use Mischievous spells ons on disliked/despised Sims autonomously.
  • I am not sure how easily Untamed spellcasters can use their spells autonomously. But at least Chillio for Fires! and Zipzap on disliked/despised Sims autonomously.
  • More occult recipes and foods. I mean there is Soul Soup but it is  from Level 5 Thanatology and Level 5 Cooking. As well as Curious Pizza and Alien Fruit Tarts for alien/U.F.O fruit recipes. But really more fantasy cuisine would be helpful for occult themed players.
  • The ability to safely have Hybrid Occults without breaking the game, having multiple ability trees (at least 2). 
  • It be really nice if RoM had Glimmerbrook expanded to a 3 neighbourhood world. Maybe even for Vampires and Werewolves too.
  • Alchemy, Herbalism and Apothecary recipes should be abled to be used in both the Cauldron and Apothecary Table. And ALL ingredients should be abled to be stored-linked to storage properly (having insects, frogs, metals, crystals (at least link the CCSP Gemology Table to pull from as recipes pull from the fridge), etc. not linked/stored together is very annoying to pull out of other storages). 
  • Familiars could be expanded, that they can change their moodlet buff, have interactions, etc.
  • Add small pets fantasy creatures such as baby dragons.
  • The ability to make any occult Immortal and stop aging. As a special trait.
  • The ability to add the Grim Reaper or Father Winter to family tree (as parent) without breaking the game.
  • More fantasy/alien plants. I love these and really cannot get enough of them.

If you are not going to add/update your packs where there is missing/wanted features CAS/Build/Buy. Just put it in a pack to expand the occult themes :)

  • Most of this should be in patches though, not a stuff pack. 

    The elemental themed furniture is a good idea though and I think that could also be carried through in small appliances and other usable items to make some more creative items there. That could be a stuff pack, including various items with new animations. Objects that use magic instead of electricity, being of a more mystical nature while serving the same function. 

    Like a fridge that is a closet made of ice, not costing any power. Can't break either, it won't melt on it's own, but if fire happens near it it does melt so not advised to put your stove too close. 

    It could include clothing, tattoos, hairstyles and such too fitting that elemental theme, useable by anyone. But it could also provide some cross compatibility items you get if you own the packs that add other occults. Like elemental fairy wings.

    They should be in patches! but I fear they just won't unless they can make money off a pack X /

    As for the rest yeah, I think there is room for still magical but different themed items. I'd love if magic items/appliances/etc. were assigned as magic/off grid, so people can do off grid magic wise. I'd love if they had a computer alternative like a crystal ball or tomes/scrolls because too many things are must use computer to do/complete.

    • I'd love an ice shelf or magical fridge that prevented items spoiling. 
    • More cooking in cauldrons (besides mac n cheese).
    • Outdoor cauldron for BBQ items.
    • A water collecting crystal apparatus or water wheel for power/water reserves.
    • Fantasy food recipes.
