Call me cheap, but I really couldn't care less about how long it takes if it means we can get them all (or atleast most of them) in one giant fleshed out pack, PLUS a bigger chance for a supernatural world.
More bang for your buck

I disagree with all of the options. I think what EA should do is create expansions dedicated to other ideas that include supernaturals. I think this is the way to make the most $$$, since a lot of people don't want supernaturals in their game.
For example:
Sims 4 Renaissance could include royalty AND witches.
Sims 4 Tropical Vacation could include a tropical vacation world, hotels, and mermaids (among other things)
I'd love to see a retro themed game pack with genies, reminiscent of "I Dream of Jeannie", because I think we need more retro inspired items.
... and so on (I think you get the idea)
While a nice idea they would most likely end up half baked. And also like you said not everyone wants supernaturals and those who buy those packs will want a toggle for them and for them to be as far away as possible.
I mean heck a good chunk of people are kinda vocal about wanting a toggle for Vampires in their own pack, imagine the complaints about Maxis slipping in witches or werewolves in University.
True, they might end up "half-baked", but I think we have to be realistic about this "three more years of content" - or probably less at this point, as many have suggested. There's no way that they're going to release dedicated game packs for all of the occults that people are requesting in that amount of time. Sure, they could make a dedicated Supernaturals EP, but wouldn't that lead to the same issue? Additionally, I just don't think a Supernaturals EP would sell nearly as much as a combo EP, like the ones I've suggested. I think EA is aware of that. My guess is we're going to see a lot more of these. Possibly a dedicated Witches GP because it's so highly requested, but I don't think we'll see any other packs dedicated solely to supernaturals.
Also, if you're interested, watch this:

At the end the developers talk a lot about what could have made The Sims Medieval better, and it sounds a lot like TS4 to me. I don't think a Renaissance pack with royalty and witches is too far fetched.
Also, couldn't they introduce a toggle for supernaturals regardless of how they're introduced?
