Just me or Supernatural Gameplay seems lacking?

I guess my main problem with the occult sims is that there's nothing to really do. They're basically just regulars sims once you look past their "quirks".
Vampires suck blood and dislike garlic, Spellcasters cast spells and fly on brooms, and mermaids swim and splash around... that's about it.
It would have been nice if their worlds were more fleshed out and had specific occult activities to do.
eg: being able to go to places under the ocean if your sim is a mermaid.
