Oh, they know they are the most wanted Occult state. Grant did a Twitter poll. Witches definitely won.
No wonder that they won. They have much content potential only problem is that EA puts lesser content in each new pack they release. And the werewolves in Sims 3 were so ugly and not dangerous i don´t want to see them comming back. lol
Wait...
No, sorry, it's fleas. I've got fleas... Werewolves?
Fleas in your Bvds for the Big Baddies?
There is a Creature From The Black Lagoon costume that came with GF. If/when mermaids are done, I will put one in a Black Lagoon costume 24/7 to wear all the time and be a creature with a creepy walk who lives in a murky pond.
Mermaids came in second place in the poll, so they're very likely to happen eventually.
The thing that bugs me about the way that poll was done, was that it pitted specific Occult groups against each other instead of having a full, single poll of a complete list of creatures.
Also, I saw so many people say they voted for Mermaids because they wanted swimmable oceans, not because they actually wanted Mermaids. So a good chunk of the Mermaid vote was for swimmable oceans and the result is very misleading. That would be like voting for Witches because you want more halloween costumes, or if I joined a poll for world themes and voted for mountains over tropical islands because I thought it might have Werewolves in it. It's for completely unrelated reasons, not for any love for that particular poll subject. Don't get me wrong, I'm not faulting those who actually want Mermaids, I'd like to see a more accurate poll of that percentage. But I am a little ticked that Werewolves got completely bumped off despite how much I see them requested over here, and I'm still trying to get my mind around the Imaginary Friends result, which confounds me.
I just think that it would have come out very differently if people had voted honestly to their preference and not used the poll to vote for something that could be unrelated.
I'd like to see both eventually, plus other life states (I'd love to have robots back, and maybe since the wings were problematical in Sims 3 they could replace fairies with elves -- same abilities just no plum wings). But for an indepth focus pack witches lend themselves to that sort of focus more than mermaids, though the latter could work as a side feature in a tropical vacation pack.

Unfortunately on Twitter, you can only poll 4 options at a time. That's why he had to split it up like that.
The issue I have is how some interpret the polls. You can only choose one option at a time. Many people want more than one, but are forced to choose which one do I want the most right now. It's not accurate to say another option did so poorly because they are pitted against an option that was clearly wanted the most.
This is why Werewolves should not just be tossed aside. The majority of the comments I've read that wanted Witches also wanted Werewolves. Some also wanted Faeries and Mermaids. A very few others wanted Robots and Imaginary Friends.
Werewolves might be the next most wanted. Mermaids might be the next most wanted. It's hard to tell unless you take the obvious winner out of the equation and keep doing so each time. I don't think we will have the opportunity to see many be eliminated though because at this rate, if it takes 2 yrs to get an Occult state, we will only get maybe 2 more.
It's not right that they kind of have the Occult lovers pitting against each other for their prefered Life State. In the end, I want all of them in my game. As much as they can stuff into it. And I want Superheroes on top of that, and cool new Robots and Androids on top of that. I want to fully support my fellow Myth and Magic and Horror lovers, not elbow them aside so I can shout out my personal preference. I already feel bad for the PlantSim lovers who got totally gimped on their preference, even though I don't really use them myself.
Development seems to take way longer with Sims 4 than it did in the past, and I'm sure that's part of the reason we're all stuck begging for the things we want next, and it's even more complicated when you add in the realistic players who still don't have any kind of University or School system, and then the ones who want swimming and beaches and more activities and farming. I mean, yeah, I want those things too, and most are pretty much a given in a Sims game, but it's going to take up yet more development resources. Plus, they're trying to put in disabilities for the future? How many packs do we feasibly have left in Sims 4's life span? If we start getting two EPs a year now instead of Stuff and Game Packs, maybe we could have all of those things. They seem to have the team united now, or at least they did for Get Famous because both Ninja and Graham were on that project and they are the lead producers for those packs. I personally think it's a good thing and I hope they continue this way because Get Famous, even though it wasn't at all on my wish list, has a lot to it like an EP should, but it also has that special focused feel of Game Packs as well as the fun of Stuff Packs.
A few months ago, Grant said we were getting "All the Things". I really hope that's true.
