Would you like to have properly working hybrids in game?* By Hybrid I mean: half normal sim half occult or half occult half other occult mixes. (For example: half vampire half mermaid)Feel free to share your ideas too, how you would like them to be for example. :)

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 ?

Oh yes! Like in sims 2 I had a Vampire, plantsim hybrid. oh my goodness. Their needs were water and sunlight. But at the same time because he was part vampire he would burn during the day making the water need tank but sunlight go up. If it rain during the day he could go outside because he would get his water and sunlight at the same time. Best thing to do was to have garden lights indoors, and drink water or take baths. It was a mess keeping him alive but so fun.

I mean, while the idea sounds cool...

1. I don't think it would work well with the game mechanics. The skill trees, what would happen to them if a sim is half vampire half human? I feel like there would need to be a lot of tweaks and programming changes that would take a lot of time to make, and even then we all know how TS4 is filled with bugs so I doubt it would work like it should.

2. It sounds extremely random and not in a good way. I know Sims is about imagination and possibilities, but having a half vampire half mermaid sounds like something a three year old would create a drawing of... it's too childish and, frankly, kind of bizarre.

I don't know, am I being to negative? There are too many cons, I think. I get that hybrids would create more diverse sims but... seriously? A vampire-mermaid? Mermaid-witch? I think we should keep them separate. Maybe in the next iteration of The Sims they could make it work if they decide on it from the beginning.

It's a no from me, purely because I don't play with any of the supernaturals

Well obviously. Imagine how cool a mermaid and witch hybrid would be.

We already have instances of glitchy "hybrids" appearing sometimes when simmers make two different occults have a child. It's really buggy; like with a mermaid- vampire hybrid, they won't be able to change their dark/mermaid form. They also won't be able to level up as a vampire. This bug has been reported numerous times, yet the sims team hasn't gotten around to solving it. So if the developers aren't gonna fix it, they might as well go ahead and create legitimate hybrids. It's seriously aggravating how the sims team hasn't fixed a lot of issues that have been around for so long.

There's a faster way to make hybrids. All you do is type the keys Ctrl Shift C then type TestingCheats on then:
Traits.equip_trait trait Vampire Enter key
Traits.equip_trait trait FakeAlien Enter key
Traits.equip_trait trait Mermaid Enter key
And what every the Spellcaster code is.
If you don't want your sims to have all the powers you can just select what kind of hybrid you want. Also, for the Vampire if you want to have the sim imune to Sunlight just type:
Stats.set_stat RankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 1593 press Enter, then press Shift arrow up quite a few times to get lots of Vampire Points then go to the Power Points & select the necessary strengths with some of the weaknesses.
Different sims makes the game more interesting.

I'm not really sure. I rarely mix two occults, and when I do, I prefer to have one child come out as one thing and the other child come out as another.

I prefer that too, but it doesn't work properly all the time (at least not in my game). Also I would like to have properly working 50/50 hybrids too, personally I don't need any more complex hybrids than that.

Since aliens seem to have a predilection for abducting vampires and I play a lot of vampires I have 6 vampire alien hybrids in total. I love them and I wish the game fully supported them so that I could, for instance, take them into CAS without them losing one of their 3 forms.

As for how I’d want hybrids to be, I’d want them to be just as they are currently but without the glitches!

Yes, that's why it would be nice if they were supported.

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 mean supernaturals, but cars would be nice for sure! :)
