I agree or they could have special ghost needs, which could be very interesting/fun (like a need to haunt? Idk, lol).

That's why I downloaded the better ghost mod, which adds new gameplays and features to ghosts to be more... Ghostlike

@Will Clauson Good question.

@@monte8901 please share the mod. 😁

@@monte8901 Can you share the mod?

You would think since they are from expansion packs where you pay the most money for them they'd be better then the other occults but they are actually just sad 😫

@@oreocooki3375 true but then again, they aren’t the main selling point of the expansion packs so it makes sense why they aren’t as in-depth.

Yeah I want aliens to have two aspirations where one is to unite sixam and aliens with the sims world and another in the evil aspiration where you wipe minds and abduct sims

@@amanda-almeida I get that..but if your gonna make a occult for your most expensive product you better make a good occult. Like the Alien is super in depth in strangerville and UFO abductions but the one we control is garbage and the mermaids were so hyped in that pack and was one of the main selling points just for them to be buggy as heck.

Aliens need a skill tree but there is already a secret world, lore in several worlds tied to it, great objects such as portal and rocket ship and very cool CAS. Mermaids don’t even have an underwater world you can visit (which you should also be able to visit as a diver), need a skill tree and more special powers!

Underwater exploring with them woudl be so cool~

thats such a good idea! i honestly envisioned mermaids to include some places you could go with them like a hidden moonlit cove where they sit under at full moon (similar to h2o just add water and mako mermaids)

@@mlem6951 hopefully they can add late in a later pack with cross compatibility. A deep sea diving pack would be cool even without mermaids, and doubble up as a chance to give them more depth.

Perhaps there could even be a hidden community type lot which is underwater where mermaids act as normal sims

Have a underwater kingdom you could travel to like the spell casters

Fun fact: vampires hate drinking from werewolves

this is probably because of the occult lore 😭 there was a whole war between the spellcasters and vampires, and the spellcasters also essentially made the vampires in the first place as well

@@pearluti soooo why they hate on the wolves? lol

@@AstarionWifey basically, the reason is lore

@@hvbg I’m aware bruh I just want to know where I can read said lore

Yeah, I am always looking for good vampire games. Vampire the masquerade bloodlines, Vampyr and even Skyrim really fulfilled the fantasy in their own specific ways for me. But I was really surprised to find out how cool the Sims 4 vampires are. I don't have like a huge background with the Sims as a franchise. Played a lot of Sims 2 on PS2 as kid, dabbled in some Sims 1 and castaway back in the day, but that's it. Recently I wanted to jump back into the Sims for the first time in over a decade and a half, and the Sims 4 is free to play, so why not. After a while I got the vampire and paranormal packs after I found out they even had those, and yeah, I think this might indeed be at least up there with vampire the masquerade bloodlines for me. I own a big haunted vampire mansion, I have a vampire bar/nightclub across the street where I socialize, play music and take my victims upstairs to drink from them, I purposely take at least two sunlight weaknesses because I want the sun to remain a problem for me. It surprisingly fulfills the whole vampire fantasy really well.

I agree, it is because they are unbalanced.

they are kinda like a one trick pony my 1st spell caster was one hell of ride cause I was basically going in blind I didnt know how to cure my curse and I had the curse of nightwraith as my 1st curse and not knowing anything about cures the plentneeds potion basically save that game cause my spellcaster was alwasy fleeing but once u know everything about them they can be OP vamps can also be the same once u know what to do their weakness arent weakness at all if u choose the right combo like for example guilty drinker?(get no tense trait from either reward or sulani) day phobia? (same its a tense moodlet) both sleep weakness? (just dont sleep u have dark meditate thats enough especially if u too both occult master, master of darkness) burning on daylight?(get the sunscreen talent) both spell casters and vamps are OP once they get to their max potential the other one just has more utility that can help other sims while the other is very solo sim. The only occult I have trouble even with high level is the werewolfs Oh yeah vamps literally have 3 skills that lock their needs without spending that much time gathering aspiration points to get them.Not to mention their so easy to farm just spam hallucinate and dark meditation and u have unlimited vamp points, How is that different from potions of needs? atleast the spell casters u still nid to make the potions to get those needs up.

Balance? Hah! I used the MCC to raise bills to ridiculous levels, but there's just too many ways to make millions with no effort. Being a spellcaster is one way, but there's also moving in with people and taking their money, the entire "science" career, owning a shop with only one item (the one with the highest price), taking loans and never returning the money, selling other people's art, stealing with "cleptomania" trait, archeology, and the list continues. You can "gamble" through "wishing well" with its 80% success rate, huge prizes and little to no punishment for loosing. You can grow money on trees... And even if you don't use any of those methods, even if you go bankrupt, you'll survive just fine... The super OP "always welcome" trait for 500 points (which you can get in a single day) allows you to use other people's homes. You can place your sim onto an empty lot and have him just live in any other house of your liking. I had a 1M simoleons debt on one sim. It doesn't mean that your balance goes negative for some reason. It just makes it 0. Which means i can still earn and use money however i want. I just need to deposit them in the safe of the other sim (the only use for the safe in the game realy). And that's only the "easy money" problem. There are many other problems. Romance is too easy. Any married sim can be easily convinced to leave their spouse for you. In a single day sometimes. Sims will "try for baby" with anyone. It's casual. 100 children challenge? What a joke. Turns out, you can make a "woohoo cult/group" and impregnate the whole world without the need to romance at all (1M simoleons debt comes from child support). Your wife? More like submissive and breedable. lol How about the "crime" problem? No matter what attrocities or war crimes you commit, there's no punishment. There's no real "criminals" either. The "crime" career is more like a prank YT channel level of "evil". I watched Home Alone and always thought that Harry and Marv were the criminals, not the boy. Turns out, the boy is the crime lord by the Sims 4 universe standarts. We don't even have the good old thieves from older sims games. Even that little thing was taken away from us, leaving us with even less challenge. Even though they were easy to deal with most of the time. There's no "balance" to begin with. The entire game is a dollhouse/sandbox. No consequences for your actions, no hardships, no opposition, no winning. No conflict or real challenge at all. No ammount of mods fixes that completely. It's like comming to the children's playground and asking "So, what's the current meta?". As long as you're creative, you'll make your own fun. The whole gameplay is what you do with the toys the game gives you, not about winning or loosing.

Honestly, the game is already so easy as it is, we really didn’t need an ultra super duper easy mode

you took the words out of my mouth ROM is the second sims expansion pack i got. needless to say i was very disappointed. it is literally “an in-game way of cheating” as u said

TS3 aliens were pretty cool though I never got to play with one at its full potential.

@@RedRoseSeptember22 TS3 Aliens were kind of rare tho, you couldn't create them and there wasn't any world that had them by default.

Tbh I kind of wish my sims would just die and go away to make the deaths more devastating lol

@@vallifunk2695 Yeah when they just go away, even with the haunting it would actually make sense that you can revive them. But at it's works for now, you can just add them to youre family. The details and all are really great, but what do i have from details when the main gameplay is crap xD.

Realm magic need dark magic in the game chaos magical also and the game

@@vallifunk2695 There’s a mod for that I forget what it’s called tho

I agree with you that ghosts are just normal sims and I hope that ea makes ghosts more like ghosts. There is no point in saying "it's base game so it's ok that it sucks" I hate when people say that something is amazing because we almost got the basics. Ghosts in the sims 4 are trash, we deserve better than a fake occult that says it a ghost but still actively needs to eat, sleep, shower, and go to the bathroom! Ghosts shouldn't have any of the same needs that a Sim has in fact here are some better Ideas. Hygiene: Ghost don't need this they don't even have a body to clean. Bladder: Ghosts don't need to have this either but it could be redone so that if they don't do something (preferably not using a toilet) they start leaving ectoplasm all over. Hunger: They don't have stomachs so unless there eating souls or ghost sandwiches, they shouldn't have this. Fun: This could be removed or changed ghosts shouldn't be able to interact with things normally (so no more ghost relatives using your computer and tv) ghosts could get fun from breaking things or pulling pranks on the living (they could also get fun from maybe haunting computers, toys, and TV's) Social: This should 100% be changed to a haunting meter. Sleep/energy: they could keep this if they use their urns/gravestones as beds maybe they need to recharge their ghost energy to do things like possess objects and talk to the living again.

Unfortunately I think because demons and angels are considered more religious creatures, they'd avoid putting them in so they don't stir up controversy.

@@avanguline you’d be surprised! On one of the sims medieval games they had a whole system where you could support the church or science or become evil.

or maybe if your sim was good to other sims in there lifetime they’d come back as a angel and vise versa to demon

I can understand why bonehilda would be scared of a werewolf, she's literaly made of bones for the god-boi doggys to chew on. Spellcasters also have grounds to be scared, sure they have powers but they are still flesh and blood a monster is scary. Vampires and ghosts should not be afraid though. I also feel the 'brave' reward trait should prevent being afraid of werewolves. It does not.

@@juliankanzuki2013 I think if you are already dead bonehilda shouldn't be afraid and take a roll up newspaper or one of her bones and pop them on the nose 😂, I still cant see why should she be afraid, same as for spell casters, aliens, ghosts and vampires, it dont make no sense.. I think they just drop werewolves in the game and didnt work that out as to why some occults shouldn't be afraid of others occults.

When werewolves first came out I tried to play with one, but it was impossible. I had seven other adults in the house and the werewolf was constantly keeping them up. He would rage and then tear stuff up, wake all the Sims up and everyone would just be running around the house terrified. I didn't play with that household very long.

@@funnylittlecactus4672 I know that is a pest. This is why I hit that button in option to make sure they stay in their world, which I hate to do cause I do want a bit of drama in my gameplay but having everyone and everything living in fear becomes unbearable.

@@Lovlyb35 I ended up doing that too. I play usually just with families and more realistic I guess and having a werewolf running down the road kind of ruins the realistic aspect for me

it's because they are furries, not really werewolves, so they need full outfits to fit the look.

@@juliankanzuki2013 ill never get werewolves pack 😭, its just not interesting to me

@@juliankanzuki2013 yeah they are definitely furries I just wanted werewolves but this is what I get?

I think there should be an option for the people who don't want furries. Like, I want The Vampire Diaries werewolves not the Twilight ...

@@iremhatipoglu9536 Do The Vampire Diaries and twilight both have werewolves too. I don't know much about either series to forgive me. However, from what I've seen of them, I wouldn't really want occults from either, which is why I'm glad the vampires aren't like vampires in either of those series (except Caleb Vatore). My vampires are more "realistic", like one I created recently who seems like a sweet, innocent, and pretty girl, but she's actually a mischievous vampire who will use her charm to lure people in, especially men. I might do that with a werewolf and just have him bite random women lol.

I love his mods and their added lore.

Ghost are base game you don't even need a pack. And if you want to control them left and right click and add to household. It's dumb they even made a pack when it's literally part of the base game

Ghost are playable without the pack. They are base game. Wait for a sim to die and grim to show up when the ghost pops up, right and left click them and "Add to household" on base game and you can control them. It's dumb they made the pack when it's literally basegame you don't need the pack at all to play them. (Ghost pop up when a sim dies, if not put a sugar skull down, Ghost are BaseGame)

It wouldn't take much to make plantsims amazing. 1- make them perminant, a true life state not jsut a temporary buff. 2- give them gardening interactions (grow babies, make plants grow faster, posion plants as a trap for anyone trying to harvest them etc) 3- Give them unique interactions with the plant mother, and cow plants. done.

I think that's because aliens there isn't anything you can really do TO them-like made Sims scared when they change But after that... There isn't much to work with

Especially the genies, since they were in every game prior to TS4!

I feel spellcasters, vampires and werewolves are all solid. But that's the bar they should have set for all the occults, they don't all have to have skill trees but that level of depth atleast.

... These are things?? Oh my GOD I had no idea!

if you are on PC there is a mod called Zombie apocalypse that pretty much does this. It looks really good!

Honestly the only thing that saved my farm once I had twin infants and a toddler as a single mum was inviting my friend Caleb Vatore to move in; it takes weeks for him to need sleep, and he’s already immune to sunlight so he not only helps out with the kids but takes care of the plants and animals too!😅
