It's fun to play with occult species in Sims 4. If players are bored with the usual game, they can spice things by introducing occult species to the mixture. These supernatural creatures have unique forces, making them fun additions to all households. However, some of them can also cause any problems if they are “excursion” to other swims.

Each Sims 4 game package, ranked
Sims 4 offered more variation in the game than ever before, but not every game package was created equally.
Not all occult species in Sims 4 Made equally, with some species that feel more “flowed” than others. While some occult swims are fun to try, the entertainment factor may not last long. Others have a deeper impact and add interesting game mechanics that make the base game feel more interesting.
Updated July 11, 2025 by Ashely Claudino: With the release of The Enchanted by Nature Expansion Pack, fans can now turn their Sims into elves, the latest addition to the set of occult species found in The Sims 4. In addition, life and death expansion packages and the base game that were released together with the considerable game for Ghost Sims were improved. This list has been updated to take these changes into account, and it now has elves.

Plant
Communicate with plants through a temporary transformation
- Creation: Become a plant -Sim by eating the forbidden fruit – require
Plantsims are in the base game. If an ordinary sim eats a forbidden fruit in Sims 4Their skin and hair turn green. This changes a sim's genetic makeup: they have to absorb energy from the sun and no longer need to eat food. They also need access to water regularly (similar to mermaid sims) by taking showers or standing outside in the rain.
Plantsims are interesting, but temporary. They will eventually turn back into regular swimmers. This makes them a unique occult species, but they have no impact on the broader game. Their lack of life span ranks them lower than other occult species, even though they have some cool skills.

Ghosts
Create a scary atmosphere
- Creation: It is possible to turn swimming to the ghosts after they die, created one in Create-A-SIM or uses the Séance table to turn into a temporary (paranormal stuff pack)
Do you want to crawl out some swims? Present a ghost to the family! When a sim dies, players can be face to face with their ghost. With the publication of Life and Death Expansion Pack and a free base game update that became available around this time, the game for Ghost Sims has greatly improved. The ghosts have become an erased occult in Sims 4 With exclusive abilities and forces thanks to Ghost Mastery Tree.
In addition, they are now available through Create-A-Sim thanks to the base game update, but players can also get Ghost Sims in the old-fashioned way-through to kill Sims. There are many ways to kill a sim in Sims 4So players can get creative with this.
Drowning and fire are among the simplest ways to do so; Hard but effective.

Foreigners
Use foreign forces to blend in
- Creation: Foreigners can be created in CAS, or a foreign child can be born to ordinary sims after a away.
Players can access foreigners in Sims 4 If they have get to work expansion pack. Foreigners come from the planet Sixam, a secret party that players can unlock by completing the Rocket Science skills or a researcher's career. Foreigners add a random element to the game that can make it more exciting. A foreign-obsessed sim can be abducted at any time and male swimmers can return pregnant women.
While foreigners are quite similar to regular swimming, they have the ability to read the senses and get key information about people, they have empathy power when interacting with other swims, and they can delete other people's memories. Alien Sims has disguises and can blend into the neighborhood as regular swims, but they can be exposed.

Spellcasters
Learn magic and explore a new world
- Creation: Create SpellCasters in CAS. Regular swimmers can be initiated by one of the three songs.
Spellcasters were introduced to the Kingdom Magic Pack; They can use magic to solve problems, fight other spellcasters and even prank other swims. There is even an exclusive Spellcaster's skill tree. The another sim progresses in some forms of magic, the more powerful they become.
Spellcasters have some cool abilities: they can steal objects that do not belong to them, make others swim to feel intense grief, multiply objects, turn a small object into many objects and more. They are practical to have around when it comes to making the game easier. But in the end, they are just ordinary swims with some extra forces, and they lack some exciting adaptation features that many occasions include.

Mermaid
Change the weather and become friends with water creatures
- Creation: Create a mermaid in CAS. Eat Mermadic Kelp.
Mermaids were added Sims 4 With Island Living Expansion Pack. Like other occult species, mermaids can hide their forces from other swimmers. However, they must keep their hydration levels up when their skin begins to dry out if they stay out of the water for too long. This makes the island Paradise Sulani perfect for Mermaid Sims, as they can take a dip when they need, but it makes it harder for them to live normal lives in other worlds.

The Sims 4: How to Become a Mermaid
Becoming a part of mermaid occult in sims 4 is as simple as following these steps.
They have some amazing forces, including the ability to call a sea threat, which can potentially drown another sim. They can also become friends with dolphins and sing melodies to influence the mood of a nearby sim. While they have some interesting forces, mermaids may feel a little underdeveloped when it comes to games.

Werewolves
Gain access to a rich set of developing forces
- Creation: Made in case, or is turned by scratching, bitten or attacked by a werewolf.
Werewolves are one of the best occult additions to Sims 4. They can pick up dormant abilities by doing certain tasks, and these allow sims to do some useful things, like sleeping anywhere on the ground or even become immortal. Starting as puppies, Sims will grow, develop their strength and power and learn more about their ancestors.
It is fantastic with werewolves: there is a rich lore to be discovered, and being a werewolf feels like a core of their personality. Other occult species (excluding vampires) may feel a little unhappy, and their paranormal abilities do not seem to have a big impact on the world around them. Werewolves feel different to play, and everything from their lifestyle choices to their relationship to other swimmers is affected by their wolfness.

Vampires
Explore a tree of skills and weaknesses and become practically immortal
- Creation: Can be done in CAS or sims can be turned if it is bit of an experienced vampire
If players have Vampires Game Pack they can enjoy one of the most interesting occult species in Sims 4. Vampires have forces (casting hallucinations, turn into a bat form and persuade other swims to be attracted by them), but these forces come with a cost, as vampire sims must meet a lot. Walking in the daylight burns the skin, they cannot enjoy plain food, and they sometimes hint at passing swimming.
Vampires are one of the best occult species in the game. They feel balanced: their forces are useful, but they also have weaknesses. In addition, the package introduces some incredible objects to create-A-SIM and Build mode, which allows players to build the Gothic mansion in their dreams and dress their swims accordingly.

Fairy
If players want an occult sim that is not too high maintenance, Fairy Sims is the right species for them. Fairy Sims does not have a bladder or hunger needs. Instead, they have an emotional need for power that is dropped throughout the day, similar hunger, and when performing elf abilities. There are a handful of ways to regenerate emotional power in Sims 4So it never feels like too much hassle, unlike vampire swims.
In addition, elves have a huge skill tree with a comprehensive and varied set of fairy tales that they can use to improve their daily lives or make it more difficult for others, depending on whether they are unreasonable or harmonious elves.
