Hybrids?

With the help of NRaas in Sims 3, I played with hybrids all the time, and if it were possible I would only if they bring back witches.

Merpires: they have the hydration need and have a tail in their dark form's swimsuit section. They have he mood songs but can't control weather. They can do vampire things like drink blood, are weak to the sun, and have a smaller perk tree. But they don't inherit weaknesses.

Vampilien: Vampire mermaids with an alien form. The disguise has access to dark mode vampire resources. They get all alien powers, are not harmed by sunlight while disguised, and get a few vampire abilities related to controlling other sims. No perk tree, but they can still drink blood and turn other sims into vampires. Gain positive moodlets at night.

Mermaliens: All the powers and abilities of mermaids and aliens. Their true form is an alien with a mermaid tail. Extra flammable because why not. Get sick from eating fish, as their species can't handle them

Hybrids aren't at the top of my wish list as I'm more interested in just getting more 'pure' occult types (esp. werewolves and fairies). I wouldn't be opposed to them as an option though as it would open up more possibilities for gameplay and storytelling. So yeah, why not? We already have 'hybrids' now, but they are glitchy so it would be nice to see this fixed somehow. I would also love my vampire sims to be able to be witches too if magic turns out to be a trait and not a skill. Sea witches could work well too, vampire aliens, or werewolf ghosts perhaps... The more I think about it actually, the more fun it sounds! I would still like child sims with different occult parents to sometimes be one or the other as well though.

Of course. I would like for everything in the game to work properly. I'm not particularly hopeful that everything will ever be, though.

Hard yes! I so wish I could have alien mermaids or really powerful, undead witches ?

If it's even possible, I'd rather the developers put their energy into other things. Hybrids are waaaay down the list of things I want in the game.

I can't really say that I care. I don't have enough interest in occult's even though I do play some.

You mean like cars? Or supernaturals?

If cars, then it's a yes from me.

If supernaturals, then I don't care because I don't play with them :)

I'm not voting since my vote falls more under "other"

I like the idea of Hybrids, but I think they could get out of hand really fast. I know that's an issue at times in TTRPG's where the GM doesn't keep a rein on such things. Working first generation hybrids then becomes a demand by some for second gen hybrids (Alien/Vampire/Mermaid/Witch) and as the programming for first generation hybrids is already glitchy, second gen is bound to be a mess.

I guess I'd just like them to clean up hybrids now with some consistent rule (Baby gets power set A or B, but has some CAS options from the other... maybe?) that they can regularly apply going forward.

Yes, some rules needs to be there I think, otherwise its gonna be too much.

Would be maybe better to have only option to have 50/50 mix, and not mix of 4. For example:

Parent 1 (Mermaid/Vampire) + Parent 2 (Normal sim/Alien)
Children of them would only get one of half from their parents, and be for example Mermaid/Alien, Vampire/Alien or so..
Or they could just be just one of those, like it's a dominant trait or something.

I know that that's not how genetics work in real life though, but that could be a way to make those possible.. maybe. :D

Also like that idea, that CAS options would be there and some set powers/skills/traits.

The point with this is that they don't work properly now and are not supported, but it would be nice if they would make change in that at some point. :)
