I love all lifestates, but genies are my favourite. They were especially designed for lazy me (and I love how they can take over a townie for 4 sim hours). I love that they are what they are. You don't have to teach them anything, they are born to rule. Also they are amazingly bugless.
My favourite genie.
He's an old man now.
Second come witches.
Teaching his great-grandson the tricks of the trade.
you praise Genies so often, if they are just half as good, they could become one of my TS3 favourites
what i've read now about Genies <<< makes them really useful to clean the city from lots of unwanted things without using cheats & mods
The campus was a piece of cake with my genie student. He got rid of all the laundry and dirty dishes in one move of his hands. And the meals they 'cook'! And indeed, they never change a diaper in their life I must say that playing humans after five generations of supernaturals is fun too.
I think it will take some time before I play a mermaid, it's somewhere on the bottom of my to do list.
I played a mermaid once, she ended up dying on me from drying out or something like that (even though she lived on a boat house in the middle of the sea). I'm thinking it might have been a very lethal glitch, because she was getting that negative moodlet while she was under the sea on one of those diving spots.
I love having mermaids, but only really get around to it while playing in Isla Paradiso. That, however is unfourtunate since they have to swim everywhere and it takes forever to get places
@JoAnne65 , I must ask how you get your Genie's to look "normal"
I've attempted to make several in CAS but they're always blue, and changing their skintone to anything else gives them a washed out , ashy looking skin shade.
As such, I never played with one. Because I didn't want it to be limited to being blue.

I'm not Jo-Anne but I have lots of experience with genies: that 'ashy' look is only in CAS. In the game they look perfectly normal.
Yes, like Gitte says. I have no idea why it is like that in CAS, because it's quite confusing for people who create them there (mine are born in game).
I like to play a big household and have many life states in it.
Tier S(Impressive ability with almost no disadvantage)
- Witch (A lot of useful magic such as mood and motives buff/station,resurrection, repair and fix everything in lot,upgrade items,create apple, turn cheap collectible to valuable )
- Fairy (Magic may buff mood,speed up learning)
- Genie (create food, clean lot,curse cure,special but limit in appearance)
- Alien (May do gem and metal collection anywhere with UFO,May make cheap gem or metal more valuable,meteor ability,never die while repairing an electrical object, look ugly )
Tier A (Useful life state with small disadvantage)
- PlantSim (Not as op as sims 2 but still a great gardener, need to throw her into water frequently to prevent her dying)
- Plumbot (It's great when it has good chips,never die in repairing. Only need a power station and regular maintenance.)
- Vampire (Fast learner, may walk in sunshine after buying the lifetime reward, need to prepare Plasma fruit by buying/gardening)
-Unicorn (Bless, teleport, bring u money in competition, may turn useful fruit into life fruit if u dun fence it, Motives drop really fast,need bigger lot)
Tier B(Normal)
- Human (Nothing special)
- Imaginary Friend (Have not try this as I hate to rise children after doing it in earlier version in sims 3,I guess it help to keep the child happy but cost u nothing?)
- Cat ( They bring collectible like insect or fish automatically, not expensive to keep, can't swim.Motives drop really fast.Takes time to interact or give order.Better have a pet park near ur lot to reduce some effort.)
- Dog (similar to cat,can swim, bring gem,bones, metal rather than living things)
- Horse (Not as good as Unicorn as it can't cast magic.)
- SimBot (Worse than a fully upgraded Plumbot. never die while repairing an electrical object,never on fire but they can't swim. making it a home boy in Island paradise and adventure)
Tier C( Below average)
- Mummy (Great writer/artist as they dun sleep or pee, put him near a hot tub.Feed him and social him in hot tub when he need and he can work all day, but he can't go to work or adventure with his speed and inflammable property,family members may keep watching it and ignore ur command )
Tier D(bad)
- Mermaid (May do teleport, can swim all day, do not need any dive training,sport skill may increase easily as she swim all day,may fishing in water and eat it fresh. Easy to dry,easy to die. If u forget to give command for a period, the grim may visit. My mermaid keep the record of dying in my home. Need to buy her a Hot tub ,swimming pool or lake if u dun live near beach.)
Tier E(I dun use)
- Werewolf (Good collector but may ruin ur lot or city which costed u time and heart, rather keep pets.)
- Ghost (Some of the family members keep screaming on them frequently, making the sims uncontrollable, making them late for work/to school, die as they dun recover their motives, annoying neighbor do not leave........ )
- Zombie(Um.....)
