Lacking occult life states

I really do feel like those of us who love playing with the weird and magical have been badly neglected during TS4's run. We've had crippled plant sims and only two full supernatural lifestates (aliens and vampires) in this whole four year period. Meanwhile, realism-based players have been basically showered with features in comparison, both in packs and patches. I mean, I know we're probably a niche group here...but I'm pretty sure that's also true for people who like doing laundry or spa activities, so that's no excuse.

Also, if they don't do werewolves when they've already done vampires, I will be livid. Yes, they did a good job with vampires, but werewolves have so much potential...especially with the talent tree framework that was created for the "Vampires" GP to work from!

Coming from someone who loves fantasy and supernatural life states since Makin Magic and TS2 I am upset at the lack of supernatural life states

Where's the magic users/witches, mermaids, Servos (non magical but fantasy), werewolves, and more ?

I was absolutely upset that the skeleton life state from Jungle Adventure was just a temp effect, aliens are a joke, and I guess vampires are okay but it's literally the one fleshed out fantasy life state atm

We're due for another game pack but I feel like it's not gonna be supernatural based :(

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that the event Plant Sims broke my heart I wanted plant beings not a green sim with short hair

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.

I have to correct myself. the Fairy tings are called sprites. Does that mean playable Fairies are still an option? IDK

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

Yes! Yes! YES! The vampires in the game turned out amazing in my opinion and I would love to see more supernatural creatures like them. Witches, werewolves, fairies, whatever. It would be really cool if these species would interact with each other in different ways. Like if werewolves hated vampires and witches were adored by cats and persecuted by witchhunters. Also, the addition of vampire hunters to the Vampires GP would be great.
