(not always sims related but I review and discuss television shows and movies. Foreign or not.)
I play on console and PC now! YAY!
The problem with the Invasion of the "x life-state or Showtime Performers" in TS3 is/was due to the story progression, we didn't have any way to prevent the game from randomly turning NPC sims (outside of turning off story progression altogether) prior to the release of Supernatural, which added the toggle option to stop the game from turning sims into occults or Celebrities due to story progression.
TS4 kind of sits in this weird middle ground where it won't change existing NPC's into occults/celebrities (outside of a bug with Spellcasters, which I'm still not sure is a bug or a feature), because there's no story progression in the vanilla game, but instead generates new occult/celebrity sims in place of changing existing ones. Which is slightly better because it makes getting rid of them easier, but doesn't change the fact that the game will make more.
So creating a toggle that prevents the game from creating randomly generated occult sims would be ideal, but in the long run, isn't it just easier to not buy the packs that are DEDICATED to specific occults? (Get to Work and Island Living not included because the occults are a side feature in those games and can't be avoided) But hey, what do I know?
I'd say a lot of people are looking forward to the return of Genies, but otherwise, I agree.
I'm still so angry that we couldn't turn off zombies in TS3. They were the one occult I hated (and still hate), and I couldn't turn them off, but everyone else could turn off wizards/vampires/werewolves/genies.
Same, while in theory, I like the idea of the full moon zombies invasions, but I really did dislike how they'd just spawn on the lot and then try to eat my plants... changed the way how I gardened that's for sure...I still disliked how they were impossible to turn off.
Just about everyone disliked not being able to turn them off. And it is telling that EA utterly ignored us on that.
This would be pretty cool! I'd make the New York Clan from Disney's Gargoyles.
Sure, they could implement them in more "realistic" ways like the Paranormal pack, considering there are people Ghost Hunting as a job, but either way I do not mind.
I'm still salty they nerfed vampire break-ins. And I've only had an alien abduction like once so I'm assuming that was either nerfed or by design. I wish they would just add toggles for people who buy occult packs only for build/buy and CAS. Or even add lot traits like NO vampires, aliens, or spellcasters. So it totally disables those occults from showing up.
I wanted Get Famous for the world, build/buy, and CAS, but didn't want fame, celebrities, and paparazzi showing up on my lots. Especially how annoying it ended up being. It was nice to have a toggle to opt out of fame, de-fame all the current celebrities, and remove all the celebrity lot traits. No more annoying celebrities in my game.
One of those characters is a werewolf, and the storyline involves a vampire/werewolf couple and spans a couple of generations with all the backstory and all the things.
I have this entire multigenerational family re-created already. They've been sitting in my library for over a year now, just waiting...
I'm still waiting for werewolves. Fairies would be neat too, but I actually have werewolf characters I'd like to make.

I wish for ghosts to be reworked tho. They behave very human-like, eat, sleep, use bathroom, need clothes for cold and warm weather. Some of them I've cheat out of those needs and others I just head canon that they forgot that they are ghosts, but I really would like for the ghosts to be a different life state. Maybe give them their own goal in afterlife, because right now they all only have this vendetta against toilets and bathroom sinks.
I agree with you wanting werewolves. I want werewolves too. I also want vampire/werewolf hybrid sims, whether it's through Create-A-Sim, or a vampire being pregnant with a werewolf's baby, or the werewolf being pregnant with the vampire's baby. Or the sim who is a human be turned into a vampire by one bite, then have the werewolf bite the human, turning the human into a vampire/werewolf.
