Like when Vampires were released, sure you could just ask one of the three vampires to turn you, but you had to slowly build up to it, not to mention it has the Vampire Knowledge skill branch where you can research the life state and could even get a whim to "become a vampire" or if you were at high enough friendship with one of the vampires they'd offer you the choice to join the ranks of the undead. Point being there was far more options for roleplay then there are with Spellcasters and Mermaids, almost as if not much roleplaying thought was put into the packs at all. (Given that Merfolk were just tacked onto IL and Spellcasters were a bit of a disappointment despite their skill trees and effort in other areas.)
Yeah it does work better with the vampires. I really like the addition of the lore skill, like you said, it makes your storytelling feel more believable.
I remember with the first sim I wanted to be a spell caster I actually made friends with Gideon before asking him the question, partially because I thought it would be required to at least be on a good friendship level, or at the very least have a good quality conversation or something. And secondly because I really wanted to do the extra work, did not want it to be so easy. But I think you can just walk up to them, instantly ask to be turned, and that's it.
