Which is your favourite occult? Mine is definitely vampire! I like the way they look, the fast walking and the immortality

Something wicked this way comes!
I don't use MCCC.
I actually love all occults on Sims 4, but I've had the most fun playing with vampires.
I also have a soft spot for aliens because few of my favorite Sims are aliens (including the one on my avatar), but the game play with them is mostly the same than with regular Sims.
Spell casters are nice as well game play wise but I struggle to see the point of them at the same time. Like I have them learn spells but I really only ever use two of the spells and those are just for easy cleaning and repairs. Maybe if they had a better selection of spells to learn I would be more inspired by them and could enjoy them more. Also why is magic not fun for sims?
Mermaids look super nice but are quite boring. I felt let down with their game play.
I haven't played aliens, plant sims or ghosts so I have no real opinion on them so far.
*Whispers* (Psst. But I do enjoy Mermaids and Spellcasters more than I expected to. Spellcasters are a close second. Closer than they should be allowed. Too close, in fact. I think they are plotting something. Vlad will have to take care of that. Maybe he should call a meeting of the most powerful Vampires and "resolve" that situation. Anyway, don't trust those Spellcasters.)
Aliens don't seem to have much to do.
Vampires and Spellcasters are great side elements to regular play, but Spellcaster is less intrusive, in that my sim spellcaster can have a literal day job without having to have gained a certain number of perk points first. And Spellcaster spells and potions just seem more useful than Vampire abilities. Scruberoo speeds up cleaning, Repario... the oft maligned but very useful Potion of Plentiful Needs... and Transportalate makes getting to the baby so much faster - important in a house with multiple adult sims, so that you can get there before someone else who doesn't know what they're doing gets in the way.
That and it's kinda fun resurrecting all the maids who die from hypothermia because they won't stay out of the πΈπΈπΈπΈ pool in winter...
They're less busy to me and have abilities I like, those being mind-wiping and transmutation. I also really like the alien voices a lot too--Alien babies are terrifying to hear crying at 2am but I love it LOL
As @ryttu3k mentioned, low-class vampires are kind of annoying to play with. I'd put Spellcasters as my #2.

2. it's a tie between mermaids and spellcasters for me, sure spellcasters have more powers and like their own things to do (learning spells/potions, brewing potions and so on) which only they can do, but no spellcaster specific skin/eyes which is something the mermaids got, also I have always loved both especially mermaids since I was tiny little kid and I really like how mermaids are done...so I can't really decide which one is better.
3. aliens don't have much to offer, but I like their alien form (though I wish we could at least link bodyshape for both forms) and voice, they are cute, however I only have one played alien right now.
4. plant sims, I might have one or two in game if sims could be one permanently and we'd be able to change their hair, I like that they have different needs and a plant sim would be cool for a gardener or a Poison Ivy sim.
5.ghosts...not much to do with them, tried them out once or twice, but I wish they would be more spooky and have more ghostly needs and behaviors.

2. Toss up between Aliens(bc when I played Sims 4 on my ps4 I made a really cool alien dude-havent been able to recreate him on my pc yet) and Spellcasters(bc I like setting Vlad on fire π)
3. Mermaids
4. Humans(ugh, we are so boring compared to occults lol)
Vampire as a theme is fun, but in the end it's just too easy, same with spellcaster.
I prefer to get my stuff after hard work, like doing the scientist career. I want to really earn the good stuff, and not just gain them freely.
Definitely the single most well-made Lifestate ever made in the Sims series, they truly do feel powerful compared to everyone else, the only issue I have with them is it just seems odd for them to be doing *Mortal* jobs or being Celebrities, I do not see why a Vampire would want to be famous as that may risk their Vampiric state being exposed, they are technically the *Evil* lifestate, their powers seem to be all about oppressing others.
2. Spellcasters
Not as "well-made" as the Vampire system given how many Bugs they have (Their immortal potion does not even work) and they do feel kind of overpowered given how easy it is to learn spells and how you can copypasto things (I have a Spellcaster who duplicated the Money Fruit, imagine making an entire forest of Money Trees) at least the Vampire lifestate does not contain such OP spells and forces you to take weaknesses like being forced to sleep in a coffin (Which is actually a lot more annoying then you think) which counter-balances the fact they are also overpowered but in a more self-preservation kind of way.
3. Everyother Occult-Lifestate
4. Humans
Human Sims are boring, they are outright inferior to Spellcasters in everyway (Try to convince me they are not)
