Vampires or aliens?

Aliens. I do wish they would expand them some, especially power wise.. but then again I might not like the restrictions put on them by taking them in a particular direction. I have a common theme I like to play out where aliens come down to explore or and eventually dominate the sim world. (Get outta here, McFly!)
I play vamps now and then, more often as victims though. My use for them has picked up some though but maybe it's the supernatural type. Weird because I love classic vamp stories. I just can't seem to get into creating them myself. I have high high hopes for Witches though.

I agree with the aliens we have in the past games TS4s version are a bit watered down.

I also hope the two forms (like disguise for alien and dark form for vampire) won't be a thing all supernaturals have as well. I actually wish the vampires didn't have different forms. Don't really se the purpose of it, like I can understand an alien disguise (perhaps) but the dark form is weird, like is that really needed? Does it really add anything more than being able to give the same sim two looks/ more outfits? No real gameplay either just the annoying spin they do every time the change between forms.

What's the point giving a vamp red glowing eyes for example if he can just have normal ones in the other disguise? We also have to use the dark form for certain things, like fights and drinking, so even if I keep the same look of the sim for both forms he still have to "transform" to do certain actions, for no reason. Him turning into a bat I get but not a different form of himself.

Don't get me wrong :blush: I do like the few supernaturals we got but I don't understand people raving over TS4 vampire over TS3, especially since TS4 vampires came in their own pack and for twice that in TS3 we got so much more.

I really wish they make the plants sims a lifestate, they could just give it small updates here and there and then they would be "complete". That'd be awesome!

Vampires by default since I never played with aliens and never even saw them in my game.

Vampires for sure. Vampires are probably at their best incarnation with the Sims 4 surprisingly, unlike Aliens, who are slightly disappointing compared to their Sims 3 form.

I like them both, Vampires a bit more, because in Sims 4 they are done quite well. I do wish that they would add Zombies like the ones in Sims 2. I had a Don Lothario zombie back in the day that was hoot!

Vampires are more powerful, they make pretty killer daemons.

I've had GTW for years now, and I'm just starting to Play with Aliens, and maybe I'll work on getting to Sixam.
But the Alien I created was inspired by Marvel's Apocalypse. Still developing his character But I want him to be a Powerful Ruthless Pharaoh.

But over all Sorcerers and Werewolves should be my number one and two.

I prefer vampires, I think they're more fun to play than aliens because they have more powers, or at least more powers that I find useful. I haven't really played any aliens since getting the vampire pack but I did have a sim who kept getting abducted by aliens, which resulted in 5 alien kids. And he hated children. I don't know when aliens got nerfed but I had that household back in Sept/October last year. They certainly didn't seem nerfed to me, or at least toned down. I thought they had been cranked up. They just kept coming for him night after night, haha.

I like both, but prefer Vampires more for the sheer amount of gameplay possibilities I can do with them apart from aliens who even now there isn't as much I can do with them as I thought.

Vampires have so much potential for gameplay and hideousness.

If they do werewolf Sims right (not the big puppies they were in Sims3), I think EA might recover from the MFP Stuff Pack embarrassment!

Alternately, either Witches (another of my fav) or Fairies (very close runner up)!

As an example, I took one of the Sims3 townies (Sunset Valley's Zelda Mae) and made her a fairy... just maybe not the way you'd expect -

NO dainty fairy here!

If they give us the Fairies, hopefully they put as much effort into them as they did the Vampires. Let it be so you could customize/custom color (or both) the wings, like you can customize Vampire fangs.

Let them have their FULL magical powers that they can create havoc and pranks with. Nothing was funner than using magic to have bees attack someone going to get their mail. Or better was transforming a Sims face to look hideous (for 24 hrs), to teach them to be nice to others.

And Dear God - Let them be able to fly and hover, because it'd be pointless for a Fairy to have wings, if they're just gonna walk EVERYWHERE!

There's been a lot of changes at EA since Vampires came out. So there's no way of knowing what creative minds may have come and may be gone by now.

I never liked fairies, at all. Maybe because I am actually interested in IRL myths and legends and they don't play a big role in Scandinavian folklore unlike say British folk lore. 99% of everything Fairies do in British folklore Trolls do in Scandinavia.

...I want trolls! Give me sims with pointy ears, tusks and tails!
