I Miss Witches

Witches won the Twitter Poll with 50% of the votes. If we are getting any Occult at all in the Future, it is going to be Witches.
I am willing to bet that Witches are coming sooner or later. (Not expecting anything before Fall 2019 though)
For the rest of the occults, I am prepared for a farewell, in case the Devs decide they will not do them.
Witches are my absolute favorites, so if Witches are announced, I will be happy.

If witches are going to be the only other occults (and none of the other ones like mermaids, etc), then those witches better be the most flexible witches in the series ever, with plenty of customization options.

I want my contemporary witches who look normal (no green skin or anything like that) and who can cast all sorts of magic without objects like wands.

I also want ways for non-witch sims to be able to cast some limited one-use stuff if they have the ingredients and incantations or have one-use Scrolls or objects, etc, (though only much weaker version of the spells or only tiny spells).

I would love for a variety of spells that our characters can choose from and a variety of potions for our sims to make. :)

I never said there is no way for other occults.
In fact, Werewolves come right after Witches on my want list. What I said was that I am prepared to let them go in case EA scraps them entirely, along with any other Occult EA decides to throw in the bin.
For Example, they won't do Mummies after they have Skeletons that fulfill the same purpose. They won't make Genies because the wishing well from Romantic Garden is already there.
Also, I can't imagine they treat everyone the same. I do hope they give Witches and Werewolves the Vampire treatment, as those are the big three IMO. We did get the most customizable Vampires ever, the best in the franchise.
Mermaids will likely be like Aliens at best. Part of a tropical vacation EP and very limited, but permanent and breedable. Robots will most likely be basically the Skeleton again, with a different look and no option to turn a Sim into one or vice versa. Only summoned (built) ones. (that could be made playable by an upgrade?)
Looking at the results of the Twitter poll, Werewolves and Robots might as well be out of the question at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if we only get the top 3 occults from the Twitter Poll (Witches, Mermaids and either Fairies or Imaginary Friends, I'm not sure) or only the Winner (Witches) and that's it.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. Be pleasantly surprised when the worst case scenario doesn't come true instead of disappointed when not all of your dreams and wishes are fulfilled.
