Occult Sims
Does anyone know why there is a lack of them? Did I miss a memo why this is? I really enjoyed this aspect of simming. Does anyone know if there are any rumors of adding more? I am saddened by Sims...

The devs make what sells, simple as that. If certain occult states from past games sold well, there's no doubt in my mind that they hadn't forgotten about them and are making them now. Occults like PlantSims, Werewolves, and Zombies weren't nearly as popular as the top winners of Vampires, Witches, and even Mermaids, so I doubt the less popular ones will ever be getting made in this version and fully expect the most popular ones to be remade in TS4 instead.
How would they know that? Besides, popularity also depends on how those creatures were implemented. Werewolves for me were a turn off in Sims 3 and mermaids could have been much better as well. Fairies too. And zombies are nothing but a (bugged) nuisance in the game.
I like to think that when they introduced new occults in Sims 3, they were testing to see how popular each one seemed to be so that they would know what they wouldn't want to invest on in the next game, Sims 4. I don't have too much interest in Werewolves (but if it means getting body hair then I'm all for it), Fairies/Mermaids are cool if they were updated to be better (thus understanding people's expectations for them to be in this version), and uh...Zombies are only liked by a very specific niche of people, as far as I've seen.
