Which Sims game or games had your personal favorite occult(s) or favorite magical/otherworldly gameplay? Was it one game or elements of multiple games? What elements did you love about your favorite occults in the game?
My favorite supernaturals in general tend to be merfolk and (good natured, friendly) fairies, so I’m between Sims 3 and Sims 4. I also love spellcasters, so again, Sims 3 and Sims 4.
I love elements of the mermaids from both Sims 3 and Sims 4, though I miss the underwater exploration for mermaids and the kraken from Sims 3, and Sims 3 had fairies while I use a fairies mod for Sims 4. I love elements of the Sims 3 fairies and the mod for Sims 4.
I enjoyed vampires in Sims 3 and Sims 4, but especially Sims 4.
I loved genies from Sims 3 and enjoyed some of the witch gameplay in Sims 3 and spellcasters from Sims 4 RoM.
I was not a fan of Sims 2 occults, and I didn’t play much of Making Magic in Sims 1. (I think that was the magical pack?)
So, yeah, for me, it’s between Sims 3 and Sims 4, particularly for the mermaids/merfolk and vampires.
I love elements of mermaids for both games: the customization of their tails, particularly the beautiful tail details and sharp teeth for Sims 4, and other elements like showing the tail in bathtub, the singing spells, the controlling of weather, the speaking to dolphins, attracting fish, and the intertwining of the mermaid tails as mermaids kiss in Sims 4. Sims 3 has some of the tail/scale color customization, the hydration death, the lovely underwater swimming and calling on the kraken and befriending sharks/fish. 🙂👍)

The Sims 2: this is where I fell in love with plantsims I loved how they could self produce their spawn so I would often just play one plantsim taking care of army of toddler plantsims and the garden
yeah miss that
The Sims 3: Kraken was probably my favourite as I don't believe i really ended up playing all the occults properly cause tbh idk what i even did during ts3 besides have performance issues and anger management problems
The Sims 4: Vampires still take the cake... I mean plasma cake ofcourse
I do love other occults too but i always end up making vampires cause idk

For Sims 2, I like that your Sim had to go out, and actually work to become a member of the occult. Or get abducted by aliens to get an alien hybrid, which you also had to work for.
For Sims 3, I like how we pretty much had a world and pack dedicated to the occult. I liked how they added fairies, which were new to the franchise at the time. I liked how they mostly covered the supernatural, except werewolves, the werewolf forms just seemed off to me. Other than that, I really liked how Sims 3 occult too.
I like Sims 4 occult as well, even though I kind of complain about the nerfing. I really like how you can look at the Vampire and Spellcastors, and kind of level them up. Vampires having a better chart though. I Like how you can make the mermaids, and they are really pretty. I also like how you can create aliens as well. I want more occults, though.
I don't have a favorite of the occults, because I like all of them in their own ways.
But I'll always love Makin' Magic.

That being said, I think 4 has the best vampires in the Sims series and I adore them. I'd actually have difficulty choosing between my old witches and them.
All things considered, 3 wins out, though, for breadth and variety of supernatural content. 4's is thus far a pittance considering how few we have and how little some are fleshed out (ex. Aliens). Even if I like things like 4's mermaids, you cannot dispute how much more there was for them in 3 (an entire underwater world) that even normal Sims could take advantage of. 2 had a good line up and I liked the ways you would get turn, but it was kind of a pain in the butt to do it.
TS2 witches. With honorable mention to the vamps for their creepy walk and "Bleehh!"
TS3 Fairies. Tried other occults, like werewolf, but wasn't my cup o' tea back then.
TS4 vamps. Spellcaster is a close second.
I'm still waiting for TS4 fairies.

TS4 has the best vampires, end of discussion. For some reason have not done much with TS4 magic, though such as have done has been fun (especially roasting Vlad). Perhaps the lack of activity is the feeling that it could have been done better, is somehow incomplete.
Sims 3 has fairies (which I have not played as, but from what I've seen they sound interesting). I would really like fairies to be added to The Sims 4. Then my favourite 2 occult would be in one game: Mermaids and fairies. I just hope they don't come in the same pack as werewolves or zombies like they did in Sims 3.
Sims 4 has the best aliens and Sims 2 has the best PlantSims. I would like proper PlantSims in Sims 4, but I'm not so bothered either way. I like the way each occult comes in their own pack in Sims 4. This way I get to choose which ones I want and not have unwanted occults with them and the ones that I do get are done better.

I liked Sims 2 witches and the good/evil system. Sims 2 plantsims were interesting to play. Sims 4 spellcasters are too common, but I like their spells more -- they're varied and useful.
