Do you play with Occults?

All the time! I love all things supernatural - my main household is actually a supernatural family trying to blend in and live as humans, not monsters. My favourite sim is a good grand master vampire, and in my head (at least just for now, fingers crossed not too much longer) his husband is a werewolf, while their daughter is a fairy/changeling baby that was left on their doorstep by 'the Fair Folk'. I really hope we get more occults soon so I can actually play it out properly. I'm esp. hoping for werewolves, witches and fairies, as it just feels incomplete without them, although vampires are my favourite. I like aliens, but I've always been more into supernatural stuff than sci-fi so I haven't really played them much. I like ghosts too, but again I haven't played them much, probably because I prefer my sims to be solid and not glowing funny colours. My vampire sim is good friends with Mimsy the ghost though.

Why do I love vampires so much? What makes them so popular? There are a lot of reasons, but for me personally I've always loved horror and dark romance - the tragedy of the immortal vampire cursed with bloodlust, ahem sorry I mean 'plasma'lust. There's just something about supernatural lore and stories that I find fun, so being able to create my own supernatural characters and stories in the sims is just brilliant.
