Do you play with Occults, why or why not?

I have all the packs, and despite this I haven’t seen an alien since I bought Get to Work and purposely played with them. Same with Vampires I only see the same two roaming around but that’s it. I’m not a huge occult player, but I thought that was kind of weird. ?♀️

Actually, I don't think I have ever played as a ghost, rarely do I play as a vampire and I play as aliens when my male sims get abducted and pregnant. I WISH my sims would get abducted, but alas it isn’t so. Also I completely forgot about ghosts, don’t really see them much either despite me playing with aging on.

That's my preferred game play. I need my Witches and Werewolves. I would rather play the ordinary play with extraordinary Sims!

I only play with the vampires, and really only in the one save I have dedicated to them. I played with aliens only once, and not at all with ghosts.

If we do get them (fingers and toes crossed), I hope they make it possible to create Wizard of Ozish, Harry Potterish and Wizards for those who want them, but I want to be able to create White Witches, a Voodoo Priestess, a Gypsy Witch and a Native American shaman. I even googled Asian Witches to see how I could use the freebies from Chinese New Year. I found that there are Japanese Witches that have snakes or foxes as familiars - and what can we make in game? ;) (I have to use what is available without the intention of insulting either culture.)

Hate them. Aliens abducted and impregnated my males so many times! Was angry when I found out their date was a alien. I don’t have vampires* so I can’t comment on them, but I’m not really into supernaturals. I’m have ghost visit but they started to annoy me

I do have a couple of vampire households in my rotation, but it's been a while since I have went to them. I keep thinking I really should because they are interesting, and I love the ones I have, but there's been other things occupying my time. Especially with the new content.

I think they're cool. I'm not sure what else would be required.

I play humans mostly, but I also have several vampires in my current rotation. I used to have two aliens but I hardly played them so their save was retired. I haven't played a ghost.

I have Get To Work and Vampires installed but I do not play with occults. I have mods installed to even prevent them from being generated in my games so I don’t even see them... ever :)

It’s funny, I don’t see them even without mods installed. It’s the weirdest thing ever.

It's because everything was toned down and dialed back for family/realistic players who want the bb, but nothing else.

I miss them. The ones we have, I don't play much to be honest, I have them installed. The ones I miss I'd play all the time. Witches, werewolves, fairies...Well, maybe not fairies. The wings annoy me a bit.

I've noticed that the game will only spawn vamps/ghosts/aliens when they are absolutely needed, otherwise there will only be a couple of them around in reserve. You can trigger spawns by having and going to events where they are needed, such as Ghost Night & Alien Night at the bars, visiting Forgotten Hollow, celebrating Spooky Day, becoming a Scientist, etc.

If you get too many spawns and want to dim it down, you can go into manage households and delete those townies so you don't have as many for awhile, at least until you trigger another major spawn. I like the game set up this way because it helps customize the experience I want to have with the game. I like the occult, as long as they are in moderation. If you want tons of occult, just keep spawning, just keep spawning...

Of course! That's what the Sims is for, isn't it? To be able to explore all sorts of life? :smiley: Occult Sims bring so many fun challenges and chaos to the boring everyday game play.

When we get witches, I hope there's a spell to make laundry less obnoxious.

I never got abducted in previous saves, and I've had GTW since it came out. Then my one sim moved in an alien townie she met by chance, and the mother ship appears to have taken that as an invitation because it's happening often enough to be annoying now. Even the alien I moved in has been abducted by aliens and impregnated. He didn't seem to take it any better than a human would have. I now have an alien toddler and baby in the neighborhood.

I've played a bit with vampires, but I'm putting more effort into it in my current save with my newly turned vampire. Of course that would be easier if her husband hadn't just had an alien baby.

I don't move in ghosts, but I put a nightclub on a cemetery lot so my sims can party with them. I got that idea from someone on the forums.

I do plan to move in Patchy one day, but my sims have a lot going on at the moment.
