Do you like occult sims?

How do you feel about occult sims? I have noticed many folks are not too fond of them. I like them both but I prefer vampires over aliens. I will sometimes send baby aliens back to the motherland if they dont fit into my gameplay for a family.

    I love all kinds of fantasy and sci-fi in movies, books and other games. So I love my Sims games to have have all kinds of supernatural beings. Why play boring housewife if you can play crazy scientist alien vampire! :D

    I have a very strange relationship with occults in The Sims games. I like that they exist but I rarely play with them.

    I like to have Vlad come once every blue moon to suck my sim's blood and I used to like getting my sims' abducted every now and then. I say "I used to" because it never happens in my game now (since some patch 2 or 3 years ago due to complains because it happened too often).

    I feel like in comparison, aliens are lacklustre feature wise, vampires are so well fleshed out in this iteration that I even have a vampiric save (really unusual for me) that I play sometimes.

    The only occults I (would) play more are the ones related to nature such as fairies and mermaids for example. I also really liked playing witches, playing good vs evil sisters back in TS2 and TS3 was a lot of fun. If they do witches, I will totally use the clubs' system to have a coven of evil witches and one of good ones.

    I love occult sims. I feel they add flavor to my game. Sure, its annoying when Vlad or one of his cronies break into my house in the middle of the night but its also comical to me to watch them sneak down the street, discover my sims are still awake and sneak back again. I giggle every time they do the 'vamp stalk' down then turn around and 'vamp stalk' back again.
    Loving yourself is the most simple and complicated thing you can do for you.

    I enjoy having vampires and witches but everything else is dumb looking and is not specialized enough. The aliens should have more going on but they just look slightly different and sound different. The green skin for both aliens and witches needs to stop. That's some Disney nonsense.

    Well at least people have the option to colour sims green normally on their own.

    I really like occults. I'm really enjoying the aliens in sims 4. I also played one vampire just to test them, and while vampires have always been one of my least favorite occults, I have to admit they are done very well in this game. So I'm really hoping some of the occults I actually like will also get their own gamepack. I'm still hoping for werewolves, witches or even robots, thou they don't seem to be popular anymore.

    I agree on the weird skin colors. While they make sense for aliens, I really don't need them on witches.

    I'm not against their presence in the game, but unless it is part of a challenge (or initial exploration of new packs) I don't play with either. I hate doing the scientist career and never use the various pieces of equipment that seem to lure aliens, and I avoid the 'Vampire Secrets' interaction on the computers. I like that they are an option if the mood ever takes me but I find them a little immersion breaking in the vast majority of my saves. Most of my towns have them all removed via MCCC.

    I love the vampires, the aliens aren't as fleshed out and I get bored quickly playing them. I want more occults.

    I love vampires in TS4. Never really played much with them in previous iterations, although the creepy walk and "Bleehhh!" vampires did in TS2 still give me the giggles when I think about them.

    I've played an alien a little bit in TS4, but didn't really get into it. He was just a normal sim, for the most part. I really wish they had something more special and unique to them.

    I absolutely want more supernaturals in the game. For no other reason than "Why not?".

    I don't care for Vampires, but Aliens are alright. I wish my sims got abducted once in a while - or ever. I've yet to have a sim (who wasn't in one of the careers that make it more likely) be abducted.

    I like them, but I wish there was more of an impact or reaction to them. Whenever my sims get abducted, there is no reaction whatsoever from the rest of the household and no special interactions that relate to the event. Same with vampire. There doesn't seem to be any impact after being bitten aside from an uncomfortable moodlet. I've only experienced this once though, and I didn't see anything else aside from the moodlet. I think these incidents are major enough that there should be an instant reaction from other sims, similar to death. I think I've seen stronger reactions from other sims when an erratic sim is showering in the rain.

    I've had abduction attempts in saves recently, where I've had no scientist or other contact with aliens. Except the few I don't know about, where they are in disguise and I won't know they are aliens unless I check Sim Info. I say attempts, because I usually manage to cancel it before they are dragged into the UFO. I have MCCC set to "Normal" abduction frequency.

    Probably a bug if you're not getting abductions at all :| Are your sims using the observatory? Getting their logic up to higher levels? Might have something to do with it. One of my sims had just finished using the observatory and was heading to bed when he turned around to check out the "mysterious light".

    I never liked them before, but I like them in the sims 4, maybe because it's so cartoonish or maybe because vampires are actually good this time.

    I like the vampires. I'm not a fan of the aliens. Nothing could ever make me like the aliens. I just don't care for the concept of them to begin with.
    That said, I don't find the aliens intrusive at all. An abduction every now and again that I can easily cancel by resetting the sim, and that's that.

    Neither of those options. Just do not fit into my gameplay what-so-ever. I do wish there was a better way to eliminate them without mods. I got get to work for the retail and doctor career. I use the vampire pack only for the build/buy items (the furniture style and decals to distress the walls). This is why I dislike that certain themed build/buy or careers are tied to packs with occults.

    Please sir... can I have some more? :(

    They give the game an extra challenge instead of just sitting and watching my sims do laundry or homework or something.
