I maybe will play with aliens once in a blue moon but I dont play with supernaturals. They annoy me if they arent easy to avoid. I liked how TS3 had its own supernatural pack but there were still supernaturals in late night and other expansions(or so i think)Doesnt it just make more sense all of them are in their own expansion instead of spread into various expansions? It breaks the immersion when I go to the grocery store and theres an alien spaceship parked. (TS3) Or in the Sims 2 when going clubbing you can see the vampires around. Thankfully zombied and plant sims have to be 'made' and arent just spawn into the worldI hope TS5 can do that. They can even update new expansions to include the supernatural. For example if an island game came out after their supernatural, they can patch in mermaids for those with a supernatural expansion

I don't play much with them either. It's not just about immersion, it's about balance as well. IIRC, vampire is 5x lifetime and x2 learning rate + special perks, with zero downsides.About immersion, one could make a point that the sims never really were serious, and what you're supposed to be immersed into is a very bad soap opera, so super naturals are fair game. But since, for better or worse, EA Sims is pretty the only representative of its genre, it would be nice to be able to customize the game just like you said, putting most if not all supernatural in the same EP or at least have a convenient way to toggle them off.

You are not alone. I don’t play with the supernaturals at all, not even aliens. I never had an interest in them. Not only that I forget about them. I even forget about having mermaids :/

I am not interested in Supernaturals whatsoever

I seldomly play with Supernaturals as well. The only Supernaturals I do play however are usually limited to the Sims series classics like witches and vampires. Although I have to admit I do enjoy the Sims 4's take on vampires since they're very well done. Though most of the times, I prefer living normal mundane lives with my Sims so I hardly ever touch the Supernatural aspect of the games. I do like that in the Sims 2 that they're just NPCs that appear and a feature you can omit out of entirely. Outside of that I really don't want a fairy centric pack for the Sims 4 tbh since I hated them so much in the Sims 3. So any fairy related pack is a hard pass for me.

Depends on the nature of the story I'm doing and the town I'm doing it in. Pleasantview, not so much; Strangetown, most definitely. That is one place in TS2 where I wish I had TS4 style multi-level basements. TS3 has dungeons/tombs but I don't remember if we could make our own.

Does anyone else not play with supernaturals at all?

Nah i haven't either i haven't played Aliens and i tried to play a Vampire once it was fun talking to them and befriending them in TS2 but i wasn't interested even if i quite like stuff about aliens and supernatural, i loved watching the ghosts float about and scare the sims though haha! :D and i will in TS4, i'd just rather Garden, Fish, play the Community Lots, have parties and play all the families and Build stuff can't forget that since we do that a lot for our Sims.

I play supernaturals in both Sims 3 and Sims 4. My favorites are witches/spellcasters due to the ability to cast spells. However, I use the Become a Sorcerer mod when playing with spellcasters in RoM, as it has some dangerous spells.

I'm not really that bothered by supernaturals, I make my sims supernaturals sometimes just to make gameplay more interesting but I don't do supernatural things with them really. Like if my sim is a witch they'll cast spells sometimes to clean up and stuff but I don't ever go all out with witchy supernatural type gameplay. I hate aliens though, I don't like how they're included in Get to Work, I just don't want them at all. Getting abducted is entertaining but having weird green sims walking around when you go to the bar I don't want

I bought Supernatural for the content mainly and I played it in the beginning but got bored with it. I use the clothes and hair for my period Sims and the furniture.

I played with Vampires for a short bit but man do they need a lot of babysitting. ROM only because my sim got knocked up by one of the wizards. And my 100 baby, I just wanted a mer-baby. Any pack with supers in it I usually get for clothes and bb

I don't play with occults. Absolutely hate making them because of the constant CAS animations that drive me crazy.

I also had to humanize all mermaids in my save with MCC because they would only have mermaid babies no matter who they had a baby with, it was always a mermaid and it got to a point where probably around 1/4 of my save's population was mermaids

Supernaturals are not a big part of my play. I grew bored of Plantsims & witches if I introduced one in Sims 2; I never bothered to buy the pack in Sims 3; and in Sims 4 I've only ever played one vampire. I do use spellcasters a bit more than expected, in part because they can clone Moodlet Solvers, and bring back Sims who die prematurely -- freezing at the gym as visitors, for instance. I also use the Wishing Well, but it's a fickle thing. That said, I can't pretend my Sims exist in the "real" world", because I invariably have Sims who are still in their 20s when their kids die of old age!

All packs have features that I like, but occults were almost never what sold me on them. I deleted most of them in my game (though in some saves, the Maxis recreation of Pollination Technician Smith from TS2 is running around; but he is the only one). I have MCCC set up to only draw townies from my tray, exactly as how I (or whoever created any gallery Sims; or Sims from other sites I downloaded) appear when I created them. In addition, it is set to "0" for maximum occult population for each type. Realism is a big thing to me in the game, and I don't really mess with occults.

The frustrating thing is that when my own Sims I have created somehow get spawned as aliens or other occult Sims . Anyway to disable this in MCCC?

Not a fan. Have actually uninstalled Vampires from my game as I got sick and tired of Vlad harassing my Sims. I wish there was a way of accessing CAS and objects from the pack without having to have the vampires in the game. I never choose an occult Sim when creating a new household.
I don't mind the aliens but I think the machine like sound of their voice is really annoying so I don't play with them specifically.
Ghosts I usually don't mind but don't go out of my way to include them in game play.

I killed him by accident. He sent me a text to go to eat at a restaurant during the day and we sat outside. Needless to say he died. (lol)

I have the expansion pack, but I don't really interact with it. I don't make vampires, fairies, or anything like that, but it's neat to me having those sorts of Sims in my town. It's an interesting little quirk.
