I agree for the most part - I do think the Vampires in TS4 are very well done though. For me Spellcasters are a different story. I still love ROM and I play with it a lot, but I think there's so much unused potential. They could have applied the weaknesses from Vampires to Spellcasters as well, and yesterday I realized there are so few gameplay objects in ROM. Especially when comparing it to earlier Magic Packs like TS1 Makin' Magic. They could have really rounded out the pack by adding objects like a dragon egg hatchery, a wand crafting station (or wand charger) , a grinding wheel for magical stones, etc. More fleshed out gameplay could also have done a lot for the overal feeling of the pack. Like a magical recruiter NPC that stops by your house when moving into Glimmerbrook (or other neighborhoods), having to make your first wand in stead of just buying one, magic with wands as an exclusive thing for higher ranks, casting curses becoming available at higher ranks, kids being able to practice magic, etc... Oh and more imaginative spells with new animations.
And the same story with Mermaids. Although I didn't really expect them to be fleshed out because they weren't the focus of the pack.. But an update to those two occults would be very welcome imo.
