Turning non-Occult Sims into Occults in CAS

I agree. And there should also be an option to create a story sim by dropping a sim in from our library.

Yes I agree with both comments. It's getting really tiring to have to made a sim from stcratch so that we are able to turn it to an occult or give it a story.

I hate the way they have it. There are Sims I wanted to make into vampires right after it came out and it was a huge disappointment. I played vampires a huge percent of the time in Sims3 and I just completely lost interest after I realized yet again that Sims4 didn't get it right.
If is was infant easy to make supernaturals in Sims3, then why didn't they make it that easy in Sims4?

Yes, it would be nice to not have to use cheats for this.

Also if you start from scratch in CAS you have to create a 2nd occult sim just to start an occult sim then go and erase the first sim produced in CAS. It definitely doesn’t seem like it was thought through.

Agreed!

Though I did find out you can kind of get occult in CAS. I was messing around with the "create a story" feature from the new Sims update and I managed to get a mermaid. My guess is that other occult sims are possible too. You'd have to answer the right questions.
Of course it also means you have limited control of the rest of the personality/goals too.

I completely agree. I've wanted many times to turn an existing Sim into an Occult through CAS. I'm glad there are ways in game to do it, but it's such a time waster when I just want to play that Sim as they were meant to be.
