If that's the reason, then that's on Maxis - I believe most simmers that don't like ghosts or aliens don't like them because how they are implemented, and would love a better implementation. Personally I don't play ghosts, because they're just see through sims, but I'd love ghosts more like the one we had in Sims 2. And Aliens are okay, but I don't play them because of how the disguise works - I don't like the limitations.
So I really hope they don't add new life states because of that - they just have to get off their behinds and actually make something that simmers want to play with, with options to turn them off, and options to how they work in the game.
I think you need to learn the meaning of Karma. Never have I EVER said I want something removed from this game or hope that something never comes.
I'll leave that to you and @friendlysimmers

I would like this approach, I want supernaturals so bad in my game but want them to be special and possibly dangerous.
Personally I don't like supernaturals because that's not the sort of things I like to have in my stories no matter how awesome they could be, it has nothing to do with implementation, it's the theme itself. Just like Superheroes or magic wouldn't interest me, while farms and schools would. I only briefly played some of the life states in TS2 for examples (vampires, aliens and simplants I remember, perhaps some others too) because these didn't fit in my stories.
I think, when it comes to The Sims 4, Supernaturals will be better fit inside of an EP that revolves around them.
I can kind of understand why people expected it, though, and I feel bad that they aren't going to get a new life-state to play with. But TS4 is a lot different than past The Sims games.
They've taken a new route, and a lot of old traditions have come to an end.
I can understand that, I don't want supernaturals in all my stories either, that's why I want options. Options to turn certain life states off, and more options for when I do include them in my stories. The aliens of Sims 4 is a good example - I don't play them because I want them to seem more human even when not disguised. The game limits the way they look as aliens and not disguised, and I really want a disguise to be more like changing skin tone, hair and eyes, but still look like they look when they are not in disguise. I can't even keep the facial features for their disguise, because the game won't let me, there's no option for it. This detail changes the whole thing for me, so I don't want to play them.
That only works if they actually make a Supernatural themed expansion, and at the current rate of one expansion pack a year it looks like Sims 4 will have run it's course long before that point.
It's been two years since the game was released now, and the game has barely changed. I'm fed up with the "It will have a dedicated pack in the future, you should be happy its not included" mentality. Let's be honest, 99% of the time that "dedicated pack" simply isn't coming, and the feature is as dead as toddlers and all the other features removed from the series in TS4.
I do think that a city themed expansion should focus on the city aspect, but I'm not going to tell the people disappointed at the lack of supernaturals that they should be grateful and wait for a pack that most likely isn't coming.
Anyway I'm not shocked at all, this EP looks OK but still nothing to rave over.
Not at all. I am sure aliens are perfectly capable of staging an abduction from a penthouse deck!
Toddlers isn't a lifestate.
(1,000th comment is for a developing backlash yay!)
Of course they will, I didn't mean to say that all packs should only include content that I like. That would not only be egocentric, but totally naive and foolish. But your comment implied that the people who are happy about there being no supernaturals in this one, are just "happy with less content", which is twisting the point of their argument. Arguing that it's a good choice to save supernaturals for a separate EP is not the same as saying you're happy with EPs having less content. The rest of your post was really interesting and well argued, there is not necessarily a connection between quality of the supernaturals and what kind of pack they are included with. Which is why it's so interesting to discuss wether or not this turn is a good thing or not, hopefully without accusing each other of egocentrism every time someone use their personal playstyle as an example.
