Your favourite occult sim?

Spellcasters - with a note that I don't have IL so I can't evaluate Mermaids.

Aliens don't seem to have much to do.

Vampires and Spellcasters are great side elements to regular play, but Spellcaster is less intrusive, in that my sim spellcaster can have a literal day job without having to have gained a certain number of perk points first. And Spellcaster spells and potions just seem more useful than Vampire abilities. Scruberoo speeds up cleaning, Repario... the oft maligned but very useful Potion of Plentiful Needs... and Transportalate makes getting to the baby so much faster - important in a house with multiple adult sims, so that you can get there before someone else who doesn't know what they're doing gets in the way.

That and it's kinda fun resurrecting all the maids who die from hypothermia because they won't stay out of the damn pool in winter...

Aliens...
They're less busy to me and have abilities I like, those being mind-wiping and transmutation. I also really like the alien voices a lot too--Alien babies are terrifying to hear crying at 2am but I love it LOL

As @ryttu3k mentioned, low-class vampires are kind of annoying to play with. I'd put Spellcasters as my #2.

Vampires

Gotta go with the classic: Vampires. Although, my second favorite is actually the aliens, the goofiness of my aliens is an endearing quality that I can't ignore.

1. vampires, because they are very well done and highly customizable by giving them different perks/powers and weeknessess plus they came with skin tones and details, they are the best made occults so far imho.

2. it's a tie between mermaids and spellcasters for me, sure spellcasters have more powers and like their own things to do (learning spells/potions, brewing potions and so on) which only they can do, but no spellcaster specific skin/eyes which is something the mermaids got, also I have always loved both especially mermaids since I was tiny little kid and I really like how mermaids are done...so I can't really decide which one is better.

3. aliens don't have much to offer, but I like their alien form (though I wish we could at least link bodyshape for both forms) and voice, they are cute, however I only have one played alien right now.

4. plant sims, I might have one or two in game if sims could be one permanently and we'd be able to change their hair, I like that they have different needs and a plant sim would be cool for a gardener or a Poison Ivy sim.

5.ghosts...not much to do with them, tried them out once or twice, but I wish they would be more spooky and have more ghostly needs and behaviors.

It would be sooo nice if they release a farming pack and upgrade plantsims with it!

Vampires will always be my favourite. I admit I am biased since I have always loved vampire stories, but I also feel vampires in TS4 are really well done. They are just so versatile and fun to play. My main sim is a vampire and his strengths/weaknesses give him so much personality.

Vampires all the way. Love my vamps. Lol

Team Vampires!!! Then mermaids. But vampires are just so darn cool in every way. :D

As if. Clearly Vampires are the best ones. >:)

*Whispers* (Psst. But I do enjoy Mermaids and Spellcasters more than I expected to. Spellcasters are a close second. Closer than they should be allowed. Too close, in fact. I think they are plotting something. Vlad will have to take care of that. Maybe he should call a meeting of the most powerful Vampires and "resolve" that situation. Anyway, don't trust those Spellcasters.)
