itd be amazing for the vampire level system thing to be implemented for other occults. the book thing with the powers going from fledgling to master, i think, would work really well for the other life states. the with other life states being introduced we would get the moon added and lunar cycles too
witches could start off as beginners but through potion brewing and spell practicing they would become the coven leader and unlike vampires who can innately teleport as bats or smoke, the witch would have to practice their broom flying. they could use the crystals we collect for their magics and refine them into smaller more manageable pieces that could help or hinder spell casting and need recharging on a full moon
werewolves would start as cubs/pups and work upto pack leader. they could practice howling or foraging, and one of the top level perks would be to remain sane during a werewolf turn on the full moon
fairies would work their way upto king/queen of the fairy court and with their perks be less impacted by no moon. like actual 'fairies' they could be weakened by irons or metals
id introduce elves as well and make them the 'good immortal' compared to the 'bad immortal' vampires. im not sure what kind of perks they could have but there are so many options like LOTR style for example.
id also bring back mermaids and genies too, while updating plantsims and ghosts. ghosts, IMO, should not have needs because THEY ARE DEAD!
i think the level system like the vampires have is a great way to have each occult be unique and each sim feel different and fleshed out.
along with the level and perk system things that the vampires have, i think there should be a secret lot for occults and aliens that can only be accessed by special life state sims and baby/toddler/children sims should have some sort of tell that theyre special. in sims 3 fairy children had wings from the beginning even if they didnt have the full fairy powers it was nice to see them hover when idle. itd be nice if all children could do something unique thats linked to their lifestate.
itd also be nice if genetics could be updated so that several generations in a sim could be born with limited powers even if the only occult sim was the founder, for example true blood style with sookie
