Do you want new Occults or Improvements on the current ones? Time to vote in our Community Poll!
Lately, occult Sims have been a hot topic in the community. The Plant-A-Sim scenario has revived a new interest in PlantSims getting some improvements. It’s also been a while since we’ve gotten a pack that comes with a new occult type. The last one was Discover University which came with Servos. That was three years ago back in 2019.
Plus, the latest Roadmap for The Sims 4 has everyone speculating, myself included, that the upcoming Game Pack for The Sims 4 will be about Werewolves!
We know there’s a lot of different occults Simmers want to see in the game but we want to know what the community’s most wished for occult is. We’ve put together a poll with some old favourites and some new ideas to ask you for your opinion!
Well? What are you waiting for? You get two picks. VOTE!
This is a community poll run by fans of the game. It is not an official EA/Maxis poll. The results will have no impact on the game; it’s just for fun.

hi, why wasn’t the announcement made? the announcement was supposed to be made yesterday
i really think genie is a cool concept that would be interesting to see back in game provided it has an over haul.
Ofc my top pick would be for fairies to return, i actually would like them over werewolves.
I want to see Sim-insect hybrids! I read on it once in an expansion pack idea thread for TS3 on the forums!
Improved aliens! Well, maybe not the aliens themselves, but rather their environment.
They deserve a full neighborhood where we can play without having to be in a science career. It could work like the magical realm — just pop a portal in Magnolia Promenade (since it came with the Get to Work pack, like aliens did) and transport us to an alien-themed, 5-lot neighborhood.
That’s a great idea! The portal to Sixam really leaves a lot to be desired. Think of what could have been if instead of Journey to Batuu they gave us Journey to Sixam, or some new planet.
I mean that would be nice, but I had the idea of expanding the Promenade to be half terraformed to the liking of the aliens of Sixam. That could turn the Promenade into a 10-14 lot world and then we can still have the 5 lots on Sixam as well making it like 19 lots
I would absolutely love some more improved aliens and spellcasters. I love the idea of paranormal investigation from the stuff pack but I wish it would involve the conspiracy theorists from strangerville and delve into more paranormal sims like studying vampires, or save a town from an evil spellcaster or investigate alien encounters and plant sims. There is so many cool places in sims 4, I just wish they would be able to go the extra mile and make it special. Also improved ghosts, ghost vampires shouldn’t be bothered by the sunlight, they’re dead
When the Paranormal Stuff game pack came out, one of my hopes for it included CAS-creatable ghosts and a selection of historic and/or tattered and spooky clothing in which to dress said ghosts up in. We do have a decent selection currently of old fashioned looking clothes that are suitable for this purpose, but hey, more are always welcome in my book.
That’s a great idea! So basically more cross-pack gameplay involving different occults?
If they give us werewolves I hope there will be interesting / complex interactions with other occults, but I’m worried that there might just be some shallow rivalry between werewolves and vampires 🙁
Both aliens and mermaids deserve improvement — and yeah, I agree with Dipika, maybe make a better Sixam. And give mermaids an underwater world! I’m happy enough to get werewolves as the latest new one, though, so long as they have a proper powers/weaknesses tree!
It’s a bit of a shame it was a single vote! I definitely want werewolves and fairies back, but I chose fairies because it seems werewolves is on the horizon. However, I’d also like plant sims to no longer be temporary…
Improved Spellcasters and Vampires.
Werewolves and fairies were my most favourite occults in Sims 3, but since werewolves are practically guaranteed to come (come on, what else that new GP could be about?) I vote for fairies. But in all honesty, all the options sound interesting to me. Plus, I have to add unicorn. Centaurs and Unicorns together would be great addition to a horse pack, if we will ever get one, wouldn’t they?
I hardly play “sims”. Most of my sims are some type of occult and proud members of the LGBT+ community! I have all the packs and I played even the occult type of occults (like the nightstalker and the flower bunny). Of course I want more occults, I want all of the occults in this poll and then some more!
Fairies, but unlike most other occults toddlers and children need to be fairies from birth. I loved when toddler fairies in the Sims 3 would sit there and flap their wings to try to fly, only to fall back down on their butt and giggle. Improved spellcasters would be nice, with some spells from the Sims 1 like “animate” which brought to life gnomes who could garden for you and lawn flamingoes to become dancers, or the spell/potion to turn your pet into a Sim, or the one that summoned either a spectral housekeeper or a spectral homewrecker depending on the outcome. Or the Sims 3 spell that turned people into frog creatures. Sims 4 spells are pretty “meh,” at least the ones that only mess with your emotions and do nothing else.
Improvements of all current occults and THEN they add new ones. Def skill trees for aliens and mermaids with hybrids like alien|vampire
Aliens imo aren’t actually occult and should be able to be merfolk, vampires, plantsims(when they overhaul them) & spellcasters if they wanted to. just have them play slightly differently to a normal sim that is the actual occult sims life states
I want werewolves first, and then fairies, and then personally I’m all set for occults. Everything else is just gravy. I’m happy to get anything else, but those are the two I really want. In the meantime I’ll keep using Spinning Plumbob’s mods!
I’m not interested in anything occult related in the Sims… I’d rather they would improve the game itself and be more realistic instead of being so fanciful and basic.
Give support to users who are content creators and mod creators who are the ones who make The Sims a little more attractive with their creations, really the stuff that EA offers is very boring, without these users who improve the game more that the official creators, years ago the Sims would have died for me and many other users, and I’m not belittling the work of the “official” professionals it’s just not enough, and seeing what these great users create all the time… it really is possible to do much better
can we just have all the option? and DEFINITELY improved aliens I love playing with aliens and they deserve better!
A scary old banshee that shows up in your yard howling when someone is about to die would be kewl.
My main 2 picks are Fairies and Genies. Both occult types can come with their own “apartment” in the form of an updated fairy home/genie lamp.
Genies come with the added factor of coming in a proper Arabic themed world where the sims and the world doesn’t feel like a bunch of stereotypes slapped together(looking at you sims 3: world adventures)
Fairies can have a very whimsical themed world reminecient of Winx Club & Shakespeare
Fairies because I loved in the sims 3 and I wouldn’t mind improved mermaids. For something original I would love to see psychopomps.
Honestly all of the options would be great!
Improved aliens, more options and superpower. More space objects.
What I want is a way to disable occults T_T
I’m shocked more people want zombies than genies. At least the genie isn’t annoying and eats your garden nor spawns every full moon to reek havoc on everyone/thing and you can’t do anything to stop it unless you mod the game.
Zombies in Sims 3 were the biggest pain, I couldn’t stand them.
I pick dragons.
Dragons, not the little sholder parrot pets from earlier game, but humanoid dragons with a proper dragon form, their own world, magic and all that comes with them.
Super Sims, that can have a list /traits that would make them have special ability’s.
I would love to have genies and dragons brought back. We had both of those in sims 3 and it was great (the dragons came with the Dragon Valley world that you could buy in the Sims 3 Store). But I’m also really looking forward to getting werewolves and hope we get fairies too at some point. Phoenixes would be interesting too.
I think Frankenstein monsters would be a lot of fun to create as a Sim. So many options for size, colours, parts and, of course, fashion! I can think of a lot of interesting stories with Frankensteins and vampires etc. If they added a lot of options for Frankenstein everyone could adapt and use them to make anything else: fairies, elves, not so much for dragons and centaurs unless they also added animal parts. I wonder why they don’t just do that. Like letting people have the option to mix and mangle the way the CC people do with furniture and lots.
I’d really like to see more realistic Witches (with real Pagan and Wiccan traditions and less Halloweenish) but I don’t count that as occult.
Having typed all that. I do enjoy all the small things included with The Sims. As wonderful as the mods and CC are simple and small things like finding a flock of pigeons in the park or seeing a real time reflection in the mirror. I think those things are awesome in the game.
Honestly? All of them. Improved Mermaids, PlantSims, Ghosts and Aliens. Werewolves, Faeries, Centaurs, Genies, Zombies. All of them
Improved spellcasters. I want hierarchy like the Sims 3 had and the ability to become a good or evil spellcaster.
I would like to see angels and demons, maybe in a heaven&hell themed pack. I would also like to see superheroes and supervillains (even though they aren’t really occults). Elemental faeries, improved mermaids and improved aliens wouldn’t be bad either.
Fairies would be lovely and angels, please.
