Hi folks, I know that this section of the Forums is kind of dead, but I have a particular love for this round of Spark'd's Creature Challenge and I had so much fun creating new and updating old households of mine that I thought I'd share them here. I'm an avid Occult player and love to put strange Sims into my game and match them with some of the amazing builds that I find on the Gallery.
I'm going to put each household in a new post to try to declutter and if there are several pictures, I'll put them under spoilers.
First household I want to share is my Happy Haunts Staff. The idea came from the second place concept winner in the community stuff pack vote and I still hope that the theme will be a game pack one day. So as part of my own vision as to what this kind of pack might be like, I made these guys. The story says:
"Ghost trouble? Missing that relative who won't let you rest because they can't? Call 1-666-H-p-p-y-h-n-t and our Undertaker will fix all of your haunting needs! Let our Oracle get all the answers you don't want to hear while our on-site Gravedigger finds out who's really dead (or not)! Or, get an appointment with the Gatekeeper and speak directly to your Reaper! (Now hiring!) At Happy Haunts, we're not happy unless you're haunted!"
They can be found here:

The Staff
The Undertaker
The Gravedigger
The Oracle and Gatekeeper
Thanks for viewing!
Comments
I've always loved this concept and had a great time designing them. The post reads:
"The Four Horsemen of the Simpocalypse! Their coming is an omen of doom! War, Famine, Death and Pestilence are destined to wreak havoc on Sim Nation and bring destruction and despair to all!"

"The Ancient Gods of Egypt! Osiris, god of the dead, the underworld and afterlife, resurrected by the mystical powers of I-sis. Lady Bast, goddess of protection, pleasure and cats. The mystical goddess I-sis, of magic, fertility, healing and rebirth. The tumultuous Set, god of darkness, storms and chaos. And the enigmatic Anubis, guardian of the dead, walker between worlds, and god of cemeteries and mummification."

Bast
I-sis
Set
Anubis
Note: I'm terribly sorry for the hyphen in I-sis, but the word is censored because of that group. This is why we can't have nice things.
"The Loa spirits visit when the Houngan or Mambo summons them properly in a Voodoo ritual. They can be benevolent, but they also tend to make a lot of mischief with the foolhardy. So be wise and respectful or it will be your undoing!"

Ayida-Weddo
Baron Samedi
Maman Brigitte (A side note: Brigitte came from the Irish gods so she is known to be the only "white" Loa. I tried to make her features look slightly more mixed to represent the transition between cultures.)
I wanted to make these two Sims look as close to the popular art depictions as possible, with the beautiful colors and blue skin and rosy complexions. It was hard, lol. I need more headdresses and ceremonial outfits in CAS!
The post reads: "Shiva, the mighty Hindu god of destruction and restoration... and Kali, the Dark Mother, goddess of destruction, death and fertility. (I really felt that Kali needed her golden headdress so I had to improvise in her dark form.)"
Found here: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/8724A2EB1BDB11EB87FB1AE2A2C073C3?category=households&searchtype=ea_origin_id&sortby=newest&time=all&searchquery=LiELF&max=50&maxis=false
Shiva:
Kali (including her dark form but we really need an obsidian, true black skin tone.)
"This band of Pirates, led by Captain Black Betty, carry a curse! Three nights a month, when the moon is at its fullest, they turn into Werewolves and ravage any in their path! Usually they take to the sea to keep humans safe, but if they are imprisoned or beset by enemies... they unleash their horrors until no one remains to tell the tale. So beware if you want to work on this ship, it comes with a very dark price!
Plus, I really, really want Werewolves.
Sea Dogs found here: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/087E2DB31BDD11EB8D081AE2A2C073C3?category=households&searchtype=ea_origin_id&sortby=newest&time=all&searchquery=LiELF&max=50&maxis=true
I tried to throw in a few varieties of pirate styles that went beyond the standard costumes because that's too easy.
Captain Black Betty
First Mate, Freebooter
Old Bones
Evil Ellie
Handsome Jack
Rumbullion (Argh. Just realized his scar goes the wrong way in his Werewolf form. That's going to bug me. )
Salty Sam
Devil's Snare
Thank you! Yes, she's a Vampire, and I-sis is a Spellcaster.
It was really important to me that they looked menacing and dangerous and wild. I had to scrounge through the CAS a lot to find styles that would work for them and I very nearly bought Eco Lifestyle just to get access to more ragged pieces and hairstyles, lol. The next half-off sale though, I'm going for it.
"The terrifying Furies! They come from the Underworld to avenge acts of violence, jealousy, lies and sins against the gods. They are merciless and will rend apart those who are marked for punishment!"

The post says: Ringmaster: "Come one, come all when night falls, many delights and shocking frights, enter within and revel in sin, if you're willing to pay, they depart before day! Let the darkness reign! Enter if you dare!" This is my nefarious midnight carnival. Folks who have seen them and lived, whisper of terrible unseen things in the dark. Evil, madness, and secrets lurk within!

Madam Noir
Dolly (She was the first creation of this household while I was fiddling around in CAS one day and inspired the whole thing.)
Hunter
Taboo
The Skylord
Psycho the Clown
The Carrion Imp
"Elves, Fairies, Pyxies, Dryads, and Goblins, all ruled by the Horned King. They don't always like to wear shoes because they like to keep their feet connected to nature. The Fairies love to wear hats for various occasions, but they are a little weird and mischievous. They don't have wings in Winter because they regrow them every Spring. Also, beware, they bite!"

Maple Blossom (Tree Dryad)
Willy Nilly (Pixie)

"The Naga are serpent people who have some mystical powers. The females have a cobra hood and can take to water where they are strongest. The males have the ability to change color to camouflage. Both species are very deadly, unpredictable, and best avoided."

"These poor Haunts are caught in a repetitive death. Unlike other ghosts, they exist in a timeline that cycles over and over and is dangerous to all who try to stop them, lest they get pulled into their own death. Willow is fated to drown in the sea, forever tied to the ocean and mourning her lost life. Ghast is a Haunt from another time, when life was simple and harsh. He is malicious in death and seeks vengeance to all who disturb him."

Tanner Ghast
All of these creations are absolutely amazing, and so creative!
I think my favourite household would have to be the Egyptian Gods and Goddesses. I love how you've used the hats from Get Famous on Set and Anubis to make it look like they actually do have animal heads. Also Osiris is hot lol
And I adore your crew of sea dog pirates! I also really want werewolves in the game but I fear we may never get them
@afai1261 Thank you so much, I really appreciate your kind words.
I've been having such a good time with this challenge, I'm sad that it's over, lol. I had a lot of other ideas that I just didn't have time for so maybe I can work on those in the future.
In the meantime, I have a few more entries to post. I had to take a break earlier but maybe I can get the rest up tonight.
First, the Superheroes. Found here: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/7F30BA521BDC11EB8AFC1AE2A2C073C3?category=households&searchtype=ea_origin_id&sortby=newest&time=all&searchquery=LiELF&max=50&maxis=false
"It's the invincible Captain Llama and her sidekick, Freezer Bunny and their friends! Defenders of the Weak, Seekers of Justice, Protectors of Parks...These heroes will protect The People from the evils of villainous masterminds. The City can rest knowing they are watching over."
Mardi Gras, Psychedelia, The Traveler, The Void
And, the Villains. Found here: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/BA8252C11BDC11EB8BBD1AE2A2C073C3?category=households&searchtype=ea_origin_id&sortby=newest&time=all&searchquery=LiELF&max=50&maxis=false
"The diabolical contrarian, Lord Alpaca, has returned for sweet vengeance against Captain Llama and friends but this time he has united a coalition of terror! The Villains Initiative for Lucrative Evildoing, (V.I.L.E.) now plot together in the dark corners of Sim Nation. Will Alpaca take down his nemesis and reclaim the name he insists he thought of first? Or will he be sent to the naughty corner again with the proper legal documents held against him?"
I wanted to put a bit of humor into them because I'm a big fan of The Tick. So if there are oddities in the character, it's probably on purpose.
The Maker (and her "human" disguise) and Zombie Girl (and her true form)
The story reads: "In a war of ages, these two have been long time enemies. For millenia they have battled, marking each other with distinctive scars. Now their fight has come to Sim Nation, where each will try to influence the most powerful families to their side. Will their strange and alien ways isolate them? Will the Spellcasters and Vampires join in? What will become of the Sim people? Can one being exist without the other? As doomsday creeps closer, only time will tell!"

Magdelene of the Demons and her demonic form
"These twins come from the Twilight Elves. They have hidden in the Sim Underground for a long time, unnoticed. Now they emerge to the surface every night in secret, when they are strongest, to wage an ancient war with the Dawn Elves."

Talen
The Dawn Elves were created initially a long time ago with CC and the male was the noble, the female was the warrior. I updated them for the challenge.
The story: "This is a brother and sister from the Illuminesce Elven Empire of Solenne. He is an exalted ambassador and she is his guardian protector. Only the warriors consume meat for strength and ferocity. They are known as Dawn Elves and their culture includes ritual scarification, tatoos, and piercings."

Evante the Noble Ambassador
For this group, I wanted each Sim to express their "sin" on their face somehow or other. It was one of the first households that I did some tweaking with eyes, brows and mouths to try to show specific emotions and expressions. I kept almost everything original, just changed one or two pieces of clothing.
"The 7 Deadly Sins/Sims. I gave them each a color scheme and tried to keep their outfits and personalities true to their themes. Sloth is drab grey and simple/sloppy, Pride is pink/purple and fashionable, Envy is nerdy, plain and green, Greed is golds and silvers and expensive, Gluttony is cooking outfits, Wrath is fiery colors and rips, and Lust is red and sexy."

Gluttony, Sloth and Wrath
"This strange old yarn fairy loves to knit and lives in an odd little house of yarn. (I made this fairy to go with #Simproved 's yarn fairy build.) She knits from her hair and leaves her little projects as mystery gifts for people to find. But beware! She also takes something back, and is particularly known to horde family cats who go outside. So if your cat is missing, check the yarn fairy's house and be ready to trade!"

Female Simmer from Australia (she/her)
I had one of my Sims marry the Grim Reaper & now they have a lot of kids.
Thank you so much!
