I agree, namely. I love the vampires in Sims 4, but when you have to rely on one life state for all of your supernatural needs it can only do so much.
I expected more from ROM. They are sound enough at the base, but there are not enough ways to make original casters beyond aesthetics (I tried to use curses like vampire weaknesses, but it does not work well). Also there is no overlying magic for all life states or supernatural elements. The BB and CAS assets are good, but the gameplay is just lacking and witches have been my favorite life state in the past iterations.
I like mermaids, but they do need more. Like underwater gameplay and a skill tree. Aliens at least have a world and connections with rockets, but there is nothing special about them beyond a few funny social interactions and "brain power." If they had more to do in their world or have "Earth missions" or something to make them more unique it would be better.
Not to mention plant Sims need some substance themselves.
