At this point in the lifespan of The Sims 4–it’s been 11 years!–it can feel a little bit mundane to just keep playing as a normal Sim. Thankfully, there’s a pile of occult forms you can try out that will shake up the Sims formula in a big way, from vampires to fairies.
There wasn’t much of an occult presence in the early years of The Sims 4, with only aliens and vampires added via DLC in the game’s first half-decade. But Maxis has changed that status quo in a big way since 2019, with the introduction of spellcasters, mermaids, werewolves, ghosts, and, with the new Enchanted by Nature DLC, fairies. That’s an impressive group of supernatural weirdos–if you’ve bought all that DLC, anyway.
Fortunately, you won’t be alone as you start exploring all that, because we’ve got a detailed rundown for every occult type that will make it easy to dive in.
