My perfect Sims 5

Section 15 - Occults - Vampires, Witches & Familiars, Fortune Tellers, Ghosts, Fairies, Werewolves & Zombies

A Few Notes on Supernatural Creatures.

Neighborhood Panel has a population set up for occults & others.
- A Counter - so you can set up how many creatures want in a town. Maybe you want to include some but exclude others. it would give more flexibility for story telling
- All NPC be (insert creature here) - So you can make Salem's Lot or a neighborhood on Sixam in the case of aliens, or anything else
- No Occults - So a simmer can have a neighborhood without creatures at all
- This can be a great panel for Celebrities & the Paparazzi as well
Occults should have unique community venues
- Fairies should have groves
- Ghosts should frequent cemeteries or their homes & haunt them
- Mermaids should have an underwater grotto or a Palace of Poseidon or equivalent that only they can get to
- Mummies they live in tombs, temples, & pyramids
- Vampires their night club & theatre
- Werewolves can have multiple places. In the woods or even a hidden industrial spot
- Witches should have their school & meeting area
All Occults should have some form of the Sims 4 Vampire leveling system which has Strengths, New Powers & Weaknesses. This also includes ghosts
Vampires should have several career choices whose hours of work change to suit their needs
If you bring back zombies that's totally fine but keep them out of our gardens
All Occults should have their own versions of Formalwear, Sleepwear, Swim Wear, Rain Gear, & Cold Weather Outerwear It is annoying for them to be designed & then the situation changes & all their choices don't fit their status as occults.

Supernatural Creatures that would be great to have

Aliens
Bonehilda
Easter Bunny - I think it should be like a regular Bunny but slightly dressed up that "leaves"/hides decorated eggs
Fairies
Familiars
Father Time & Baby New Year
Genies - I think this would be fine to keep exclusive to the lamp
Ghosts
Grim Reaper
Mermaids
The Monster Under the Bed
Mummies
Robots
Santa Claus
Vampires
Will O' Wisps
Witches/Spellcaster
Unicorns
Zombies

Grim Reaper

The Grim Reaper should have his pranks & small details from past games back. Like Doorbell Pranking
I LOVE that Bonehilda has a crush on him.
Engaging in a pillow fight with the Grim Reaper will cause Reaper Cushions. (Pun)
I think he'd play chess in the past which is an Ingmar Bergman reference from the movie the 7th Seal.

Vampires

Vampiric Details

Vampire CAS absolutely should have:
- Normal Sim self & Dark Form
- Pale Skin Tones
- Long pointed fingernails
- Optional pointed ears
- Fang Options - I like that we got to choose the style in Sims 4
- Visible Veins
- Faintly glowing & supernatural colored eyes
Frankly in a Sims 5 pack if you just rinse-repeat the Sims 4 Vampire Pack w/the added ability of being able to duel other creatures. They have all sorts of powers that would give a spellcaster a run for their money. The rivalry w/werewolves should always be a thing.
Repulsed by Garlic
Burn in the Sun
Should have the lore based idiosyncrasies
- The need to be invited in
- If they see seeds or small things they have to count the seeds. Cool getaway maneuver
I like the weaknesses that they added in Sims 4
The Tired - Moodlets from Sims 3 to affect Vampire Energy
- Slow
- Lethargic
- Drained
- Slept Like the Undead
I would honestly love the "Nosferatu" moving shadow.

Unable to see their reflection in the mirror

http://www.juegosdarbel.com/wp-content/uploads/MANSION-EN-EL-ESPEJO.jpg
It would be cool if Vampires could gain a pet like a Vampire Bat
https://i.redd.it/t6kd8apdavj41.jpg
I think that Evil Vampires should have an evil aura that makes floral arrangements wilt
Moonbathing - I got this idea from another Simmer but it reminded me that this was on the Adams Family. I hadn't seen this as apart of Sims 4 werewolves at the time of my writing this.
https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/addamsfamily/images/e/ea/Af_moonbathing_2_illness.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160901183156
If a vampire wears capes & has the flair for the dramatic then I think it would be fun if they could go full Bela Lugosi.

https://quotefancy.com/media/wallpaper/800x450/1005154-Bela-Lugosi-Quote-I-never-play-without-my-cape.jpg
As a nod to Dracula novel. If you ask a Grand Master Vampire like the one in Sims 4 whose name is escaping right now where he went to college his school will be Scholomance. In Bram Stoker's novel Dracula is said to have attended that school for the dark arts.
Vampires should be as adept to Alchemy as Spellcasters
Vampires should be physically stronger & faster than regular Sims. Will gain Athletically Skill Levels quickly
Vampire Babies and children should have Gothic themed furniture & toys

Vampires get a "buzz" after feeding from a fairy like in True Blood
All the Occults should have their own versions of Formal wear, Sleepwear, Rain Gear, & Cold Weather Outerwear
A magical reagent can be obtained from Vampires which is Vampire Tears which is quite rare because they cry maybe "once or twice in their own eternity" (Interview with the Vampire reference).
Another magical reagent you can obtain from a Vampire is soil from their native land.
Vampires have a favorite Blood Type in place of a favorite food. Vampires also have a thirst need instead of hunger.
Vampires may sleep upon an alter, within coffin or a normal bed however if they sleep in a bed if there are any windows in the room they must be covered by window drapes lest they burst into flame.
If two Vampires Dance then they might randomly levitate into the air while dancing. Two Ghosts will do this too
Vampires be default have a favorite flower of either Red Roses, Black Roses, Dracula Orchid's or Deadly Nightshade unless another flower is chosen
A Vampire w/the Vain trait will get the "Dead but Delicious" Moodlet
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk5uwYp5EKk
If a vampire chooses Medical, Detective, Criminal, or Business careers the hours will adjust to hours the vampire can work. If the vampire works in Medical they can get their plasma from the hospital and will never be thirsty at work, like a Sim who packs a lunch in a paper bag.
Night Vision should be a Power for both Vampires & Werewolves as they are both children of the night
We should get Simlish versions of Bela Lugosi's Dead

Vampiric Powers - I personally loved how the powers were done in Sims 4. I do like the weaknesses as well.

Can turn into a Vampire Bat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLj2RXm67Zs
I'd like it Vampires could change into the Man-Bat (Evil Master Vampire Only) for like in Bram Stoker's Dracula and Command rats
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mzyeGBdQmCM/maxresdefault.jpg
https://www.denofgeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/bram_stokers_dracula_rats.png
I think the Hunting Vision where they see a heat signature from Sims 3 should be apart of their powers
Can Turn into Mist.
When Vampires use their telepathic powers to compel others the gestures should be Full Bela
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b0/7d/e3/b07de3a68b9426f630d2c8098fb66a41.gif
Vampires have a Supernatural Allure and Sims can become hypnotized by them
Supernatural Speed - Vampires can run as blur
Supernatural Strength
Vampires should be immune to the effects of cold weather as they are technically undead & have nothing to fear from the cold. They also should not be able to drown as they do not breathe.
Can climb up the sides of buildings
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lucrJmdbi0
Grand Master Vampires can attain true immortality once they become at least a Young Adult. Through a selectable Power.
Summon Will O’ Wisp to locate treasure - Straight out of Dracula (the book)
Because they can turn into mist they should consequently they can also summon fog. Eclipsing Fog (Sims 3) to be exact.
Change into Dark form
Control Zombies (Vampires cannot make Zombies but have limited control over them)
Evil Master Vampires can dissolve into a puddle of plasma to teleport besides turning into a Bat or Mist. Just a small side perk of being evil

Vampire Dueling Powers

Bat summoning swarm
Blood Shield - Blocks a spell
Blood Teleportation - The Vampire Sim disappears in a pool of blood and reappears behind the opponent Sim & swipes at them.
Blood Tornado - Picks up the other Sims is a swirl of blood and flips them around.
Call Winds - You saw this in Bram Stoker's Dracula
Man-Bat transformation - Used in fights with werewolves. Think Brute Strength vs Brute Strength.
Summon Rats - This is a dueling power, the rats attack the other Sim. I actually like Bram Stoker’s Dracula for this because he turns into the rats. I think that would be a neat animation for a dueling attack.
Telepathic Attack

Vampire Lore Skill - I think should be just for Anti-Vampire information. Or depending upon whether the Sim is a Vampire or not, they learn different things from the lore. As for Vampire "Fun Facts" I gave examples below.

Skill Level 1 - Purchase Tomes (Thought the books looked great in Sims . They should look like old world Illuminated books. Gets a Prompt telling them an interesting random Vampire Lore
Skill Level 2 - Make Garlic Braids, Garlic Wreaths, and Garlic Garlands. Can defend against a Vampire if they have Garlic in their Inventory. Gets a Prompt telling them an interesting random Vampire Lore
Skill Level 3 - Share Vampire Knowledge. Can Identify a Vampire by looking at their Dark Form. "Accuse of Being a Vampire" Interaction. Gets a Prompt telling them an interesting random Vampire Lore
Skill Level 4 - Vampire Resistance Cocktail Gets a Prompt telling them an interesting random Vampire Lore
Skill Level 5 - Ultimate Vampire Cure recipe. Gets a Prompt telling them an interesting random Vampire Lore

Random Vampire Lore Examples

Thresholds have historically held significant symbolic value, and a vampire cannot cross a threshold unless invited.
Vampires cannot cast a shadow or have a reflection
Vampires may be distracted by the scattering of objects such as seeds or grains that they are compelled to count
Chinese vampires were called a Jiangshi.
One of the earliest accounts of vampires is found in an ancient Sumerian and Babylonian myth dating to 4,000 B.C.
The first full work of fiction about a vampire in English was John Polidori’s influential The Vampyre.
Garlic, a traditional vampire repellent, has been used as a form of protection for over 2,000 years.
In medieval times, people with red hair were regarded as vampires.
Many scholars argue the word “vampire” is either from the Hungarian vampir or from the Turkish upior, upper, upyr meaning “witch.”
Since vampires don't have a heart that beats or blood that flows, people believe their bodies are exceptionally cold.
Dhampir are the offspring of a Vampire and a living person

Spellcaster/Witches

The Witch familiars from Sims 4 were cool but I wish they were capable of doing more and interacting with the Witch. Being able to pet a familiar would be a great start. If its a cat or dog they should get interesting powers too.
https://i.redd.it/5fdvj8m53em31.jpg
Vampires, Witches, & the folks who are in the Fortune Teller career should be able to do Alchemy with greater speed and success.
Dance “Sky-clad” under the moon this is the special bonfire dance that a group of witches can do
The Witch powers from Sims 4 were a touch boring. Why not have them do things with more pizzaz like more enchantments kinda like an upgrade but on objects that aren't upgradable like a broom for instance that sweeps by itself. Enchanted Dolls, Enchanted Candles, Enchanted Jewelry all great suggestions.
Personally I'd divide Spellcaster spells into different classes
- Divination
- Defensive Spells
- Enchantments
- Healing Spells
- Hexes/Curses
- Offensive Spells
- Practical Magic
  Each spell has an alignment & the more you use a particularly aligned spell the more you become that alignment. Just like in Sims 2

    Witches & Fortune Tellers ONLY should be able to both use these tools
- Magical babies should have magical themed Nursery items
Spell Caster Familiars Should be somewhat close to their Sims 4 Counterparts. I do think each should have at least 1 to 2 Spells of their own unique to them. For example the Phoenix could have a fire based power and the power to resurrect itself or its owner.
- Cat

- Fox
- Glow Frog
- Glowing Skull - Evil Sims Only

Fortune Teller - Not a Life state but really a job with magical features
- Has two branches - Scam Artist or Mystic
- Each branch focuses on Charisma Skills.
- Can perform private or group readings
  https://i0.wp.com/thelastdrivein.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/wolf-man-tragic.jpg?resize=490%2C367
- Can be hired for parties
- The Special Music
- Like in Sims 3 the Scam Artist Branch is more interested in fame and money
- The Mystic Branch will be very adept Mediums
- Both branches can use the Seance table and all the Divination items (Tarot Cards, Tea Leaves, Star Charts, Palmistry) Mystics will just have a much higher chance of being correct. Mystics can also perform seances with more success
  https://scienews.com/images/2020/05/649d95c0e9b1bbe1df5de15b694c902f.jpg
- Fortune Tellers of both branches can make & sell various charms and Alchemical potions
- Mystics will get the Mystic Aura at level 10.
- I think the Fortune Teller Caravan should make a return as the work base for Fortune Tellers but can operate their business out of home, parties, or the Magic Store if they own it
  http://www.thesims3.com/content/global/images/blog/blog_august%20/TS3_Supernatural_FortuneTeller.jpg
- Scam Artists will find that Magicians & Scientists will dislike them
- Paranormal Investigators will like Mystic Sims
- Werewolves & Vampires will be wary around Fortune Tellers
- Spellcasters will largely like Fortune Tellers and many will take up this profession but only as Mystics
- Good Sims can not choose the Scam Artist branch
- Scam Artists can do Pet Readings
- Fortune Tellers can create Star Charts to sell to Sims
- Make Gris Gris Bags

- Sells Love Potion #9
  http://www.ginatepper.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/love-potion.jpg
- Also a Matchmaker
Fairies
- Paracelsus promoted the idea that the four elements (Fire, Water, Earth, Air) had four elemental spirits associated.
  - Air - Sylphs
  - Earth - Gnomes
  - Fire - Salamanders
  - Water - Undines
  Later people took these ideas and applied them to other folklore. Undines became Mermaids. Now leaving the Mermaids aside for the moment that leaves the other three. Sylphs we often compared to fairies. Taking this information we can play with the lore and divide the three elements among fairies. Evil Spriggans can have fire powers and fire themed wings. Fairies can choose to specialize in the one of the other two elements and their powers, coloring, wing style and general esthetic can be formed from that.
  https://consciousreminder.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/elementals_by_saifongjunfan-d2y5hup.jpg
- Fairies can and should retain the inspirational Auras they received in Sims 3 as well as their fun loving and trickster ways but why not play with other folklore concepts to make them feel new.
- Fairies are energized by Moonlight
- Fairy Jobs - Tooth Fairy?
- The Summerdreams make their return and are the fairy King & Queen at present
- Fairies get a pair of special wings should they obtain King or Queen status
- Becoming King or Queen of the fairies is tied to skill level and a quest line of sorts. Only 1 King and Queen may exist at one time. If a Sim becomes King or Queen and are married to another Sim Fairy then by default the spouse will become King/Queen unless one already exists until that Sims either dies or Forsakes the Fae.

- Fairies age up 5 times slower than normal Sims
- The Fairy Land is only visible to Fairies, Unicorns, (and Witches and their familiars or perspective fairies but only with permission)
- If two Fairies are angry with each other and are in each others presence they will get the moodlet "Ill met by moonlight" which is a reference to Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream
- Some fairies should have a small amount of contempt for regular Sims and have the "Lord what fools these mortals be" moodlet.
- Fairy as nature spirits have an affinity for Unicorns
- Fairies can shrink to a Tinker bell size and fly around other Sim's heads "Playfully Pester" or with two can do the interaction "Fairy Frolic"
- Groups of fairies get a special Bonfire Dance where they pull out pan pipes, tambourines and cymbals, and play while skipping and twirling
- When a fairy is in their natural form, small bell-like jingles will play.
- Fairies have an affinity to Gardening and Charisma and will increase these skills at a faster rate
- Fairies who select the earth element will have an affinity to Plant Sims and share their positive influences on plants
- Will O' Wisps would be a great addition to spooky/ magical areas. In British/Irish folklore they were said to be ghosts, fairies or elemental spirits which guarded hidden treasure (Dracula - Bram Stoker) or led travelers to their doom. They were usually seen over marshes and bogs
  https://www.freaklore.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Will-o-wisp-by-Emerald-Depths.jpg
  https://www.robalexander.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/will-o-the-wisp-final-print-e1505071045802.jpg
- Certain traits should prohibit the creature from being certain things like an Evil Sim could never be a good witch. Evil Sims who are Fairies are automatically Spriggans.
  https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/images/110/4325237-1382948471.jpg
- Fairy babies and children should have fairy inspired furniture and toys
  https://i.pinimg.com/736x/b8/b8/9c/b8b89c91e52e377dd20dfd8fd7a3ea7c.jpg
- Fairies should be able to fly and cast a "Fairy Glamor" on themselves
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6PAUz6omhc&t=55s
- You can only obtain the seeds for the magical plant Love In Idleness from Fairy Sims another Midsummer Night's Dream Reference. It should be a main component is Spellcaster Love charms
  https://www.azquotes.com/picture-quotes/quote-yet-mark-d-i-where-the-bolt-of-cupid-fell-it-fell-upon-a-little-western-flower-before-william-shakespeare-130-38-20.jpg
- You can only obtain the beans for the magic bean stalk from fairies or being a fairy and planting the beans
  https://newfundingresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/magic_beans.jpg
  https://i.pinimg.com/originals/19/e3/c4/19e3c4663554fe81bae83a0efd82657b.jpg

    - Mischievous Aura
    - Soothing Aura - Fairies have the power to soothe frightened, angry, or unhappy pets
  - Dueling Magic
    - Banshee’s Wail - Causes the opponent to become fearful and messes up any casting
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1c-ah112UM
    - Butterfly/Lightening Bug Swarm - Day vs Night spell
    - Cast Fairy Glitter - A blinding attack for dueling other magical creatures especially powerful against Vampires. It is comparable to the witch’s Sunlight Spell
    - Gollum - Summons a creature made of clay or dirt to defend the Fairy it is a good counter spell against Werewolves. Strength against Strength
    - Gremlin - Mischief Spell that sprinkles golden sparkling dust around a target and causes it to explode, break, or catch on fire
    - Sprinkle Magical Sand to encourage Sims to Sleep (Can also be a dueling spell)
    - Sylph Steam Cloud - a defensive spell that summons a cloud to obscure the Fairy and protect it from attack
  - Spells
    - Bless with Luck
    - Create Fairy Ring - I think it should be used like a teleport
    - Enchant Object - Fairies like Witches have the power to empower objects
    - Glamour - Mimics the appearance of another Sim

      - If we went with the above idea Mermaids and Fairies would have an affinity to each other.
      - Mermaids should add comb hair to their actions as in folklore they do that a lot
        https://images.fineartamerica.com/images-medium-large-5/-a-mermaid-combing-her-hair-mary-evans-picture-library.jpg
      - Mermaids should have a little mini quest to find a trident

      - Mermaids are able to do the hula dance naturally

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KQcsWPoazc

      - Magical Conch

      Werewolves
      
      How They Should Look
      - Body Hair as Base Game
      - Snout and Ear length should be customizable
        http://www.smdouglas.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Howling_Movie_Werewolf_Transoformation_3.png

      - Werewolf Claws can be manicured if there is a spa type manicure system.
      Werewolf Powers
    - The Fury power was wonderful from Sims 4. I say keep that it was inspired. Fury is should stay constant and hastened by temperaments, preferences, werewolf abilities, and the full moon.

      - Pup
      - Runt
      - Prime
      - Veteran
      - Apex
    - The Lycanthropy Powers in Sims 4 are the best they've been for Werewolves in the entire series

      Werewolf Notes
      - Having two default Werewolf packs was great in Sims 4. This was a great idea it added really dynamic tension and story telling potential.
      - I think being able to create your own pack as well is an idea. You can pick the pack values, it leader, it's symbol, and it's "Den" or headquarters
      - I think an Iron box to place out of control werewolves would have been awesome
        http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/beinghuman/images/5/59/Being-human-werewolf-george-5.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110927131548
      - Werewolves appear with brown glow in the border in the relationship panel. In The Sims 4: Werewolves, Werewolves appear in the beast form when they're transformed, and their rank displays in their info for the relationship panel. I think Sims 5 should do a combination of both. Brown glow when in Human form and Beast form when transformed
      - Werewolves cannot "Howl at the Moon" on a night of the New Moon
      - If the werewolf howls too much they will cause themselves to get a sore throat.
      - Werewolves have a chance to break appliances they're using such as sinks, toilets, refrigerators, etc. due to their supernatural strength. When breaking something they will gain a "Stronger than I Thought" +1 tense moodlet
      - If the Werewolf has broken something at another Sims house due to their strength they will feel guilty about the breakage
      - Upon first meeting, werewolves and vampires will instantly despise each other.
      - The ability to create your own pack is a must
      - I'd love for this to be an excuse to bring back the "Fortune Teller" . Famous Scene from The Wolfman (1941)
        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mMrCXPCZAA
      - I liked the lore in Sims 4
      - I would love an outfit like Marsha's from The Howling

        https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7311/10466308514_d002aa759e.jpg
      - The Lunar Cycle effecting more than just the Werewolves. Though no zombies tied to the full moon please! Like ever.
        https://i.pinimg.com/originals/dc/ad/e9/dcade99565bbff61adebe45fb5e8b6c5.jpg
      - I hope Warren Zevon's Werewolves of London is a Song in Simlish. Oh and Lil Red Riding Hood by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qae25976UgA
      - There are actual wolves in the forests now
        https://i.ytimg.com/vi/z0gGr19QP9E/hqdefault.jpg

        http://simscommunity.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/11-11-17_1-00-36-PM.png
      - Children who are werewolves will also occasionally receive unique angry moodlets such as "Beastly Growth Spurt" and "New Fang Pain", can eat raw meat, and children may accidentally break objects after using them
      - When a werewolf is with his pack they will get the "A Company of Wolves" Moodlet
      - Werewolves who go into the Business Career can get the "Wolf of Wall Street" either trait, an achievement or a moodlet when they get the the highest level of the career
        http://orig01.deviantart.net/5bfb/f/2014/067/5/6/the_werewolf_of_wall_street_by_danneal-d79ctql.jpg
      - Children who have two werewolf parents will have the "raised by wolves" trait
      - If a regular Sim who has the Brave trait or similar sees a Werewolf Rampage or transform they will get the "Whose afraid of the big bad wolf?" Moodlet
      Werewolf Specific Interactions
      - Attempt Simlish Communication
      - Brawl - unlike sparring, results in the losing werewolf becoming injured and a major relationship decrease.
      - Complain about Shedding - Regular Sims can complain to Werewolves about their shedding and anger them
      - Debate the treachery of vampires

      - Rub Belly - Sims can Rub the Werewolf Belly and the Werewolf will react with pleasure much like a canine

      - Werewolf howls can frighten normal Sims and Pets making their bladder drop 50% if they already had to low bladder they will pee themselves
      - WEREWOLF!! - Intense fear moodlet caused by witnessing a werewolf rampaging
      - Werewolves should attack Burglars and ALWAYS win the fight. Burglars should have a 50% chance of getting bitten by the werewolf. If a Werewolf is apart of the Criminal Career path and is on a job and is attacked by a police officer they will Always get away and the officer has a 50% chance of being bitten
      - Wolf Down - Werewolf will eat food rapidly and aggressively in a squatted position
      - If a Werewolf has the evil trait and is being charming to another Sim he will get the "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing"Moodlet

      - The red glowing bite mark from Sims 4 was awesome too.
        https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/images/c/cc/Sims-4-werewolves-sim.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20220606173525
      - We can choose eye color in wolf form. Golden is preferable. Oh and heterochromia for not only Werewolves, and regular Sims but Pets too
        http://www.dvdbeaver.com/105/an_american_werewolf_in_london_blu-ray_/large/large_10_american_werewolf_london_blu-ray.jpg
      - Werewolves should become hungry right after they transform
      - Scars being separate CAS assets AWESOME!!!!
      - They can also transform if their mood drops too low or they are suddenly angered.
      - If a child is born with two werewolf parents, the child could inherit lycanthropy in three different ways: they could become a regular werewolf, a greater blood werewolf, or a dormant werewolf in which they will carry the werewolf gene.
      - Werewolf transformations should frighten most Sims when they see one
      - Werewolves should be ravenously hungry when they transform. When a werewolf gets hungry, they will get the "Hungry Like the Wolf" moodlet
      - While transforming Werewolves should become terribly hot and have
      Unicorns moved to Pets
      
      Zombies I personally would like to have the Zombies back. But under a few restrictions
      http://www.capsulecomputers.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/the-sims-3-supernatural-new-screenshot-01.jpg
      - No Attacking the plants - That was just annoying
      - Zombies are Immortal and do not age
      - Unlike Vampires who only need an invitation to get in zombies can be stopped by locked gates and doors.

      - Vampires are Immune to Zombie bites as they are already undead
      - Zombies have green-grey skin, distorted facial features, and black eyes
      - Zombies will not shower and have the lowest Hygiene they and smell bad at all times. Should get the "Smells Like Death" emote
      - Zombies only have the Brains! Motive
      - Zombies will get the "Sticky Puffy Eyes" Moodlet as a reference to the South Park Episode "Pinkeye" Doctor Sims will get an interaction to give the Zombie some Topical Cream. Beside the Brains!! thought bubble zombies will get one resembling a bottle of Worcestershire sauce.
        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVDy6QF7iAg&t=3s
      - They move with a slow shamble and will droop their heads, and they cannot walk up and down stairs normally

      - Alchemy can brew a cure and Witches have a spell that will cure a zombie
      Alchemy Moved to Skill out of necessity
      
      Miscellaneous Occult Ideas
      - Different creatures having natural affinities or aversions to one another. Good Witches get along w/nice Fairies. Spriggans (bad fairies) liking bad witches. Vampires disliking Werewolves naturally, etc. It adds to the drama
      - The different creatures being able to use their powers to duel against one another like Vampires against witches. Etc
      - Only those in the Fortune Teller Career should be read Tea Leaves and Palms
