Lacking occult life states

I don't know how fleshed out Aliens were in Sims 2, but those in Sims 4 are about as fleshed out as those in 3 were.
Yes, they lost a few powers but also gained stuff. Among other things the ability to disguise. For the first time ever we can make them in CAS, and we can visit their planet in a non-rabbit-hole way.
Unless Aliens had much more lore and gameplay to them in 1 and 2, they are not that bad, at least compared to the Occults in 3.

Vampires are more than just okay. Having a GP of their own, they are more fleshed out than in any Sims game so far, and might even be a candidate for best Vampires in Gaming in General. If they are "Okay" to you, I want to see the amazing game you were playing, that has so much better Vampires.

The Skeletons and Plant sims were a Joke. But honestly, I believe those temporary life states are there just to shut our mouths so we don't cry about the lack of Supernatural stuff constantly everywhere. I believe, they allowed us to put fairies in the fish pond in Get Famous for the exact same reason. Romantic Garden has the wishing well. But with that, they pulled themselves from having to make Genies, as it would be a blue sim with a turban and the same Gameplay as the well.
In Sims 3, Plant sims had a special skin overlay texture that looked leafy, special hair that looked like leaves and yeah, they received a seed after woohoo that grew into a plant sim baby that could be harvested. In Sims 4, they have none of it, but they do have similar needs as an actual plant.

I think we will get witches at least, but not this year and not in the first half of next year. Mermaids maybe, that are given the Aliens and Ghosts treatment. If we get Robots, they will get the Plantsims and Skeletons treatment.
With only 3 years being confirmed, and nobody speculating on content for Sims 4 beyond that, I am not speculating on any more Supernatural content other than small stuff like the deco fairies in the fish pond in Get Famous.

For aliens I was mainly annoyed with the constant embarrassment moodlet (it gets really old) and I thought they would get I guess a little more stuff (there is a mod out there that improves them) they are a bit of an improvement from the previous two installments takes but I expected more from them I guess

For vampires I like their powers and stuff, I love their CAS, but I found the hunger system obnoxious which made managing them a bit tedious (there's a mod that fixes plasma hunger) but they're a life state I don't play often (I got the pack anyways because I wanted to try them out) but hunger is easily fixed with mods which made my vampires gameplay a little less tedious
