Should they do an Alien Pack / Patch ?

I'd be okay with any way they can make that work even though I bought GTW. I'd also like restrictions put on them like they seem to be doing with the more recent supernaturals (mermaids not just all over the place).. and it looks like witches won't be casting autonomously outside of the realm.
I'd like the player to be able to control whether they will play a big part in their game and be seen or not in other words.
I want them to FIX SIXAM. That world needs more going on. One lot, look at plants, etc... I personally think if they were going to do a story like the Strangerville story, it should have been on Sixam instead. Working your way to get to Sixam, getting there and maybe helping the aliens with some sort of story like Strangerville would have been more satisfying than getting there and taking a few screenshots of a beautiful place with nothing in it.
Definitely yes to the ability to copy appearance between forms like the Vampires!
Also, the "two hearts" thing kind of reminded me of the movie Earth Girls are Easy (starring Jeff Goldblum, and Jim Carrey before his 90's heyday)...
However, if the only way for these to happen is through mfps style packs (dlc for dlc) then my vote changes to a no.
Omg are plantsims still in the game? I didn't know that.
And yes, I think the vampire perks and weaknessess system should be implemented to all the occults. Aliens and mermaids would be much less dull.
As far as I know they are. There was an event a few years back that allowed you to become a plantsim. You still can through cheats I believe, and also seed packets if you have seasons. But it only lasts a few days before you need to redo it.
Aliens are such a shame, I agree. There is a lot of untapped potential for objects, clothes, traits, aspirations, jobs, types of powers, having your own alien abduct others or not, like how vampires can make Sims give them blood or not...I haven't played mermaids so I don't know about that one.
Manage household: I am combining two households of aliens and I constantly have to go back into live mode and write up their names because I do not know the disguise of every single alien in the game.
Guess it is done so that the players who do not want occult sims can ignore them but it really was a nerf for me. It is difficult to find my favorite alien household in rotational play because I just don’t know who is who anymore. Unless I go into live mode for each household.
I totally agree @SilentKitty ! I never use the disguise. I try to dress my alien sims similarly in their disguise, so I am not totally confused in manage households, but I would prefer to see their alien form again - like it was before Island Living - or if we could get rid of the disguise altogether.
I try to do the same thing, it doesn’t really work for me. I miss my aliens so much, cursed disguise.
When Supernatural came out, they upgraded Vampires to make them more in line with the new occults. It definitely made them far more interesting to play.
And then this face when I think of how awesome spellcasters and vamps are in comparison...

No one was happy with my first pet stuff requiring you to own cats and dogs. So much that there wasn't another stuff pack for well over a year. I don't think anyone would want an alien pack requiring you to own GTW.
It would have to be a patch.
About The Sims 3, there were Vampires in Late Night EP but Maxis revamped them in Supernatural EP.
About The Sims 2, there were Zombies in University EP, FreeTime EP and Apartment Life EP.
I don't remember people complaining about that.
Maxis is able to repack or revamp a life state in a new EP. A Future themed EP could update the aliens.
We had such great aliens in TS3. They've taken steps back again. I'd like them to be their former glory before the patch took everything away. Why is it always just one group getting things their way anyways, just because they're loud about it doesn't mean that there isn't the same amount of us sitting quietly happily playing with the game as is. This is another example of where we need some toggles, a toggle to activate them would have been useful instead of just a nerf bat. If they could patch it out, they can patch it back, but add a toggle this time so the people that don't want them can just turn them off. They had toggles for all the supernaturals in TS3, so why not here too?
