When will we get the Supernatural?

Before I begin, I trust that most of you are literate so if this doesn't appeal to you, I beg you bounce.
It's been FIVE WHOOOLE years and we only have one well-made Occult State. (Ghosts and Aliens were a bit of a flop, let's be honest)
So why can't Fantasy players have their due in abundance? Does anyone else feel like the team may be working on several fleshed out Occult States presently, waiting for a moment to surprise us in 2019? If September bleeds into a dreadful October bereft of the witchery that Halloween welcomes, I think I will mourn.
> When do you think they will finally shed light on The Supernatural and The Sims 4? They left all Fantasy Fans like
When I think about the enchanted stories I could be creating with witches, fairies, mermaids, werewolves and genies I just force myself to hold back the tears. Hundreds, if not thousands of us miss ALL OCCULT STATES from The Supernatural. When will they awaken and take their place among The Sims 4 Releases? But anyway, thank you to all my devilish ghouls and mischievous witches for reading my forlorn discourse. Let's keep lighting those candles, stirring the cauldron and keep up with the human sacrifices in hopes we finally get what we deserve.

Currently running around StrangeVille so at the moment I am not suffering too much. However when the new-awesome-pack-buzz wears off I will go back to crying. I mean, we have to get something this year, right. I know they don’t post spoilers but darn it those statues in the vampire-pack of a werewolf, a fairy and a mysterious woman sure got me excited.
You got my sword.... as soon as I get back from StrangeVille!!
I'm almost certain they are working on them at one stage or another, but there is a chance we may be waiting until next year. They probably didn't jump right into making witches after the poll last June, and it takes at least 10 months on average (I think that's what they said) to create a game pack.
So maybe this fall if we're lucky?
IF we get any this year (fingers crossed) I would bet money it would be an October/Halloween release.
The only way I can see more Occults beyond Witches and Mermaids is if they actually released a Supernatural EP focused on a few of them, all or most with Vampires tier depth. I don't think that is beyond an EP at all given they ARE meant to be bigger in scope than simple GPs.
Unfortunately even when it comes to Witches I feel like we're only getting them pretty late late this year since we just got a GP... and next EP is most likely going to be University.
After witches we need werewolves too, other occults... They can't keep ignoring us.
*finger in ears* la la la, I can't hear you.
Yes to werewolves! If they do make them they should have a lot of customization like with vampires so you can make different kinds
Yes! They have to be more than hairy ugly af sims.
Bonus points if the Lunar cycle is implemented properly this time (No weird stuff being shoved into your face on full moon unless you want it to, introduction of Lunar Eclipses and Supermoons)
MORE BONUS POINTS for a power weaknesses tree. i mean every occult should have a powers/weaknesses tree but knowing EA i'm trying to lower my expectations for every occult other than Witches
This speculation is based on the Assumption that last years twitter poll was to help them decide what occult pack to make and that making a Pack takes about a year, give or take.
But as there are rumored layoffs in late 17 and budget cuts and such, it could even be later than that. The recent dead month's point in that direction.
Imagine...
2014 Vampires GP
2015 Witches GP
2016 Werewolves GP
2017 Fairies GP
2018 Mermaids GP
2019 PlantSims GP
...
They could even had made that into a Halloween traditional pack. Then another GP on the beginning of each year focused on other stuff like Parenthood, Jungle Adventures, etc...
Now i want all occults, even If they come in a EP. Would be cool If they added some If the occults + 3 playable stories like StrangerVille, each one revolving different occults. Like an Adventures to find a relic that will release a Genie to grant you 3 wishes, an Story were you help to end a feud between two Fairies families before the Tree of Fairy Life dies and a Story where your sim has to save a town from a Zombie Apocalypse.
That would be really cool!
Uh. ok. but for me AT LEAST Werewolves and Witches should have a powers/weaknesses tree
Can't really see a way for these not so popular occults to actually get in otherwise.
Or like the Aliens in Get To Work.
Mermaids: Either like Aliens or Plantsims or Ghosts. Probably a small part of a bigger Pack.
Werewolves: Probably the same, if they aren't skipped entirely.
Robots: Can be debated if they are occults, but they gotta do them eventually. Traditions and all. Although, they've broken with several Traditions in Sims 4... They're gonna be like Skeletons at best.
Zombies: Skeletons if at all.
Genies: Probably skipped altogether. We have a Wishing Well in a stuff pack that offers all the Gameplay a Genie could offer. Minus some restrictions. And you can already get really close to the Genie-Look in CAS.
Fairies: Alien Treatment at best. But I'm willing to bet the Costume in Spooky Stuff and the sprites in Get Famous is all we're gonna get in that regard. Also, Apart from their looks, they never had anything I can't justify giving to Witches instead.
Mummies: A costume perhaps. They don't make sense unless they do Jungle Adventure all over again, but this time in a desert. They made a Yeti costume for free. The closest we're gonna get to a Bigfoot occult state.
If Sims 4 continues until 2021 and in 22 Sims 5 launches, I can't see them doing more than 2 or 3 from the list above.
Witches are a must, and they know that. And it's the only occult I can't imagine getting anything less attention than Vampires got. At least not in a way the Devs could get away with.
But as much as I'd love them to, they won't be pumping one occult pack after another.
Imagine the outrage from those realistic players that want their worlds as "real life" as possible, not even considering that there might be some stuff out there IRL, that they would curse at as unrealistic and fantasy and such, if the devs added it.
I sure hope they don't skip werewolves.
I can't see how they can be added as a part of a bigger pack unless its a Supernatural EP. Sure they can be added in an University or in a Farming EP but mixing realistic and occult stuff is not that good of an idea especially when talking about fleshed out occults like werewolves. Since there's no toggle it would upset realistic players and since they are not the main point of the EP they will be less fleshed out and may not even get a powers/weaknesses tree. Upsetting occult fans. so basically doing this means that everyone lose.
TS4 needs this to amp it up a little, it's too watered down for my taste atm, althought in terms of playability at home lots and the stuff you can do at the home lots, it's one of the better, I want to add.
