I don't really have much of an opinion on many of the occults, but aliens have had so much representation in the media over the past century that even the concept of "little green men" is an in-joke. Aliens can look like anything and everything. Invasion of the Body Snatchers, They Live, the Alien series, the Cloverfield series, District 9, the Men in Black series, E.T., The Day the Earth Stood Still, Star Wars, etc. all illustrate creatures from outer space as being so varied as to prove that there is no one way to depict aliens. EAxis has chosen to box in their alien brand by making aliens Sim-like in so many capacities, with only a few slight variations. Even if we accept that the Sims offers this one brand of alien, it's the ONLY brand of alien they offer. You can't do anything too outside of EAxis's small alien box because EA doesn't provide you the tools to do so. And also while I'm thinking about it, it's odd that Vampires and Spellcasters came with their own worlds, but Aliens* and Mermaids didn't.
I think it'd be freeing for EA to just accept that people want the ability to create their own world in this game, and give us the tools to do so. Occult players don't have a large toolbox for creating the kinds of creatures they really want in their game. They have to limit their perspective based on what EAxis provides. Now, some will say, well that's the same for every type of player. And yeah, I agree. We're all being left to accept and reconcile with small toolboxes.
*I know they have Planet Sixam, but you can't live there.
