@@RSStarfire Well, the reason for that is that get to work and island living aren't packs completely based around aliens and mermaids, they're just an aspect, unlike vampires, werewolves and realm of magic which are all completely occult packs. It does make sense that when they have other features to focus on less goes into the occults. I'm not saying I don't want a revamp though.
i use 2 mods for plantsims- one that allows you to make a permanent plantsim, and one that adds a bunch of special plantsim-only interactions with sims and objects. combined with the base feature of unique needs, they're no werewolves, but it makes plantsims fun
@@flaviuswestfall1718 Why not? It's been a while but if Stuff Packs can come back, no reason Pack Revamps couldn't come back and breathe some new life into the older occults.
@@codenate02 they make money off of stuff packs, especially since content creators started praising them over kits. they are not, however, making any substantial money off of revamps, which is enough of a reason for them to not come back.
With how little Aliens actually get power-wise, I've found playing up the whole disguise bit to be the most entertaining aspect. Made an alien who was sent to Earth to spy, she basically started a Gentleman's club for the rich elite (drinking, card tables.) She eventually fell in love with her butler. Planned a big wedding at a local club, only for her to autonomously erase his memory right before they were going to walk down the aisle. I didn't even see it happen, and I tried to have them get married anyway. In the end she ran home in her big wedding dress during a thunderstorm. I went with it, saying that her Alien superiors found out and threatened his life if she continued the relationship. She still had to live with him as her butler though.
o.o damn that is some drama right there. nice to know they might do the memory erasure autonomously; i've been playing with autonomy off so a forewarning is nice lol
that's crazy... my alien sim was married with a kid to another sim (who was then abducted by aliens and had another kid LOL) for around a full sims year, they were deep in love, and then out of nowhere my alien sim autonomously memory erased his husband... i built back up their relationship and thought it was fine and then almost immediately after he memory erases him again lmao
@@AstronomicalJelly true! But I was referring to how important they were to the lore of the game. I was hoping that level of importance would translate to the expanded gameplay that other occults got in ts4.
Just wanted to say I am so proud of Simsie with her channel growth!! Also, as soon as I saw Simsie on the "International Women's Day" banner on the youtube home page, I gasped and smiled. That really is amazing!! Women Unite!!
i was looking forward to see a tiny vampire home, cuz you mentioned that aliens might've been the last occult tiny home you've made, like the mermaid one and werewolf one, but i couldn't find the vampire one- anyways, would love to see you continue the tiny occult-like homes like vampire, spellcaster, maybe a stanley humphrey themed tiny home too (cuz honestly, stanely is like his own occult sim at this point and we love him for it)
It's kind of funny how hard they tried to balance certain abilities and items in the early game with all those cooldowns (e.g. these alien powers, the wishing well etc.) then at some point they just gave up and started slamming down OP features like dust bunnies that bring you 10k plates.
Ikr I was initially so excited for Strangerville bc I thought we would finally be getting more to do with aliens (and maybe there could’ve been like an extraterrestrial investigator job as well? Or something like that) but instead we only got a bland world and a short story with no replayability and I felt so dumb for ever getting my hopes up
the outfit is like if an alien was introduced to runway fashion before casual clothes, and they combined casual and runway because they thought runway fashion was like an everyday thing
Oh, and growing and evolving alien plants, like the gloworb and the Tenticle tree you can get rich from that. Just don't mention the gnomes--unless you want to be fired. Before I forget, I found out the other day that aliens have the power to revive those little aliens in the aquarium tanks, and if they are high enough in the wellness skill, they can teleport and meditate to increase their mental powers to where they don't need sleep.
the way zenon is a common polish (masculine) name 😭 we even have a "celebrity" named zenon martyniuk lmao (edit after further thought it's not that common i don't know a single zenon that is under 50 years old but you get the point)
I sorta get it though, its kinda like how, where i live, the name alberto was all the rage back in my grandfathers generation but nowadays you cant find somone below 40 with that name. Its not common now, but it used to be, so it feels common.
Aliens and mermaids are the most boring occults in the sims. Like the lack of a skill tree really hinders them so much. Mermaids definitely are the better of the two though. At least you get a bar telling you if your low on your occult specific need. And controlling the weather with singing is fun.
i love how kayla complains about the high maintenance trait every time a sim has it, but then gives it to all her sims when she makes videos😭😭 just shows that sims players truly like to suffer when they play
I agree, aliens need a lot more. They were short-changed, but with the Crystal Creations pack, their powers can be enhanced. Also, while my sim went to the Geek Con she got the crystal seed after winning a race in the rocket ship. She also got one while fishing at the Desert Bloom park. Just by growing those trees and selling crystals (charged or not) you can get rich from that.
aliens were so important to the sims franchise in my childhood and it makes me so sad that theyve been paid dirt in sims 4 era 😭😭😭 let me live on sixam PLEASE
Sims occults are like that meme of the parent (EA) holding a child above water (Werewolves & Vampires), while the others are drowning (Aliens and Mermaids) and then the one at the bottom of the pool (Plantsims) 😂😂
Kayla calling Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century old was bad enough, but her literally describing the actual plot twist of Signs unironically without even realizing she had done it hurt my old woman heart.
to be honest i wouldn't even mind if they made a gamepack with aliens OR mermaids expanded like other occult types . you could say these two were just 'additions' to the expansion packs so i don't think it'd be that unfair
They won’t do that because it was really difficult to sell MFPS on console because they don’t allow DLC for DLC. But they could do the Sims 3 Vampires route and just include an improved version of the occult in another pack.
@@alison247mitzy2 what i talked about wouldn't be a DLC for DLC, it'd be a gamepack that includes only aliens or only mermaids and gameplay related to them and nothing that's in get to work or island living would be there, so the packs would still be worth it because these two occult types weren't the main selling points anyway
Tbh, it's an unpopular opinion but I like how non-invasive aliens and mermaids are. Sometimes I'm bored by the normal sims and wanna spice things up, but I don't want to deal with xp and levels and skill trees. Aliens have gotta be my favorite occult type, mostly for this reason. They are unique and have interesting abilities and characteristics that blend into normal interaction and gameplay. It feels more natural than dealing with grinding for xp or going out of my way to do 'occulty things'. These two types might have less content and I would love it if they had a refresh, but I like how simple they are.
Zenon was one of my favorite movies growing up! I was like 10 yrs old when it came out and would run around the house singing "Zoom Zoom Zoom make my heart go Boom Boom Boom"!
Same! The star of the movie was also on the soap opera Days of Our Lives at the same time, which I was too young to be watching but did, so I thought that was such a cool cross-over at the time.
Negative buffs from Sims who are high maintenance clear way quicker if you practice wellness like meditating or doing yoga! It also gives them a really positive buff when you do!
My problem with aliens is that I had more than one sim wipe out the memory of their partner independently! They would forget their entire relationship, even their marriage 😭😭
I remember aliens in the sims 3, they were waaay more fun than in the sims 4. We could literally summon a meteor with them, that could create a giant hole in the middle of the world you were playing. You could also take your spaceship and cause chaos on a public lot, and everybody would start screaming and running away. OMG I love that!
I do like the disguise aspect in 4, but it leads me to play them very differently. My aliens in 3 are completely over-the-top. I love dressing them in the cosplay outfits from Movie Stuff, the Into the Future clothes, and any Sci-Fi looking things that are too outlandish for my regular sims.
My personal Occult Sim "Tier List" (snort) goes like this: *Top Tier* Spellcaster - imagine not playing with cheats but still feeling like a cheater. *High Tier* Vampire - you don't age, don't need to sleep and don't need to take bathroom breaks... And then you get super powers. *Mid Tier* Werewolf - they get some fun stuff but no real "advantage". Plus, they look like they're wearing furry costumes. Ghost - the poor simmer's vampire. *Low Tier* Mermaids - the Aquaman experience from the "Batman Fires Aquaman" skit. *Losers' Club* Aliens - the true feeling of an EA customer: we get nothing but it costs us everything.
I wouldn't mind if they go back and revamp the mermaids instead of making a whole new expansion pack. Also while I was sending my sims to bed a random alien was in my pool.
I've found that when I cook on faster speeds, fires tend to happen more often. I'm not sure if there's any actual logic to it, but just something I've noticed happens more often than not. Even when they have max cooking.
it’s funny to see you making alien content i’ve never used them either and I recently made one the other day but I had no idea what they actually do until now 😂
I agree with everything you are saying about Aliens, but what is frustrating is, I don't think they are gonna get that revamp. I think they are as good as they are gonna get. It was so easy to revamp spa day. It's not gonna be that easy to revamp an old occult. So, I don't think it's gonna happen. So we just have to get creative. I did a game play with aliens where they moved in with a nerd sim and learned about the earth from him. Their goal was to build a rocket to go home. The nerd fell in love with the girl alien and got married and had alien kids. I still have that game going. I use all the occults on a regular basis and still come up with new things. So it is possible. The Gallery and Tumblr are a huge help!
When your favourite part of aliens is a replacement for a 500 satisfaction point trait (that can fail, unlike the trait) then the aliens friggin suck lol
Sadly, unlike the other occults in the Sims 4, there really isn't a working mod for Aliens. There is an incredible one for Mermaids (and even adds loads more) and one that adds witches and fairies. One that changes Unicorns to just... be better. Werewolf mods etc. Nothing that works for Aliens, unfortunately. There's even stuff to make Plantsims more interesting.
When you have the high maintenance trait and do the wellness aspiration you can get a trait to help. But doing yoga and meditation helps too! High maintenance Sims also love wearing the masks from the Spa day pack.
And I don't know why, but aliens cannot become spellcasters--believe me I tried. They can go to the magic realm, but no where is there an option to become one, no matter how much you are friends with the sages.
Aliens are an occult and the game doesn't support hybrid occults. So you can only be one occult at a time in most cases. I say most cases, because it is possible to get a hybrid Sim but hybrids are glitchy because they're not an intended thing. I think really the only way to get them is through cheating and rarely through pregnancy (so for example if you had an alien and a spellcaster have children you have the potential to end up with an alien spellcaster child that way)
Aliens are an occult, and a sim can only be one type of occult at a time. I agree that they SHOULD be able to be werewolves or spellcasters or vampires but nupe.
Yeah you need mods to be more than one type of occult. Unless glitches happen. I got vampire/mermaid hybrids once. They were mermaids but they had the vampire needs except for hydration instead of hygiene. They burned in the sun but didn't have rhe vampire skill tree to eventually get sun immunity. They were interesting.
Zenon girl of the 21st century came out in '99 9 year old me :"ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM MAKE MY HEART GO BOOM BOOM MY SUPANOVA GURL 🎶" lilsimsie: "Actually older than i am" Me: "Gosh im old" 😭 🤣
I've been obsessed with aliens (in general, and yes, I do mean little green/blue guys) for a while and I'm just... constantly sad about how the aliens are so empty in Sims 4 lmao. They need an upgrade so bad. Like I'd absolutely buy a whole expansion/game pack just for them.
I'm finding it really fun and cute that your rescue kitten came in to hang out with you and as I watched this three of my rescue kittens came and laid on top of me. 😺☺️
We need a massive update to revamp the lesser occults. Plant Sims, Aliens, Mermaids. Like they keep plant sims so secretive and I dislike that the plant sim thing is only temporary for the player while in the sims 3 they were plant sims their entire lives and you could get plant sim babies from the special seeds you PLANTED IN POT like you GREW YOUR BABYYY !! Aliens need some sort of skill tree!! Really ANYTHING will be an improvement to their current state. They’re basically just a normal sim with a pinch of difference. Mermaid deserved skill trees and I am still so disappointed they didn’t give it to us. They could go a good or evil route and be good sweet mermaid or go full evil siren vibes and drown people.
Ive been playing a male astronaut who loves using an observatory for a couple of weeks, hes been abducted 16 times and he will not get pregnant! Im super sad 🤣 i think it might be bugged.
That tiny house is one of my favorites that you've built with a theme!!! but im partial to alienes because for some reason I would always play as one in sims 2
I miss when aliens stayed disguised when out on community lots so you would be genuinely surprised by them. And you could save either by their alien form or their human form for the gallery.
I hope they'll consider revamping those, like they do for the base game so that it's compatible for new features, etc. If you have the packs for aliens, you can get stuff upgraded next time you log into the game, and if you don't, it doesn't affect your game until you buy those packs, etc. Aliens SHOULD have skill trees & ability gauges specific to them (& mermaids), just like the other occult folks do!
"It came out in 1999. It's OLD!!" Kayla inadvertently insults half her fanbase. XD I am not just an OG simmer but an OG Maxis fan! I have been playing Maxis games since their inception in 1987! I was 3 in 1987! I guess I am a geezer XD.
I love the aliens, mostly for the aesthetic, but it drives me INSANE in gameplay how other sims will just “discover” you’re an alien apropos of nothing. Totally ruins most of the storyline/immersion for me.
LMAO "If you want to play with the crystal pack be an alien" Lol i legit just made an alien infant with Sulani Mana & Father Winter's Baby traits for my Mega Challenge which includes Single Sim, Super Sim, Runaway Teen, Human Enough, Homeless, 100 Baby, Black Widow, Gold Digger & Career Legacy
I want Aliens and Mermaids to get a refresh so they can have skill trees and special powers too! At the very least, if it was possible to make a mod for it I'd be so happy
Get to work is the expansion that at least felt expansive, retail, 3 new careers, a bad new world, a secret world, and an occult wish sims was still this ambitious
Revamp 👏 mermaids 👏 aliens 👏 and 👏 plantsims 👏
Compared to the newer occults….. they’re all lacking (especially plantsims are very depressing)

Sadly, unlike the other occults in the Sims 4, there really isn't a working mod for Aliens. There is an incredible one for Mermaids (and even adds loads more) and one that adds witches and fairies. One that changes Unicorns to just... be better. Werewolf mods etc. Nothing that works for Aliens, unfortunately. There's even stuff to make Plantsims more interesting.
When you have the high maintenance trait and do the wellness aspiration you can get a trait to help. But doing yoga and meditation helps too! High maintenance Sims also love wearing the masks from the Spa day pack.
And I don't know why, but aliens cannot become spellcasters--believe me I tried. They can go to the magic realm, but no where is there an option to become one, no matter how much you are friends with the sages.
it's because you can only be one type of occult
Aliens are an occult and the game doesn't support hybrid occults. So you can only be one occult at a time in most cases.
I say most cases, because it is possible to get a hybrid Sim but hybrids are glitchy because they're not an intended thing. I think really the only way to get them is through cheating and rarely through pregnancy (so for example if you had an alien and a spellcaster have children you have the potential to end up with an alien spellcaster child that way)
Aliens are an occult, and a sim can only be one type of occult at a time. I agree that they SHOULD be able to be werewolves or spellcasters or vampires but nupe.
Yeah you need mods to be more than one type of occult.
Unless glitches happen. I got vampire/mermaid hybrids once. They were mermaids but they had the vampire needs except for hydration instead of hygiene.
They burned in the sun but didn't have rhe vampire skill tree to eventually get sun immunity. They were interesting.
I just tried this and was FURIOUS 😭
How can aliens be the worst hen mermaids are right there?
Zenon girl of the 21st century came out in '99
9 year old me :"ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM MAKE MY HEART GO BOOM BOOM MY SUPANOVA GURL 🎶"
lilsimsie: "Actually older than i am"
Me: "Gosh im old" 😭 🤣
I've been obsessed with aliens (in general, and yes, I do mean little green/blue guys) for a while and I'm just... constantly sad about how the aliens are so empty in Sims 4 lmao. They need an upgrade so bad. Like I'd absolutely buy a whole expansion/game pack just for them.
I was just telling my 9 yo stepdaughter about Zenon the other day, one of my all-time favorite Disney movies ha!
I'm finding it really fun and cute that your rescue kitten came in to hang out with you and as I watched this three of my rescue kittens came and laid on top of me. 😺☺️
Cannot edit my comment on mobile but also yes I do remember Zenon, but I am older than the movie 😂
Im still waiting for Aliens to be able to link up their forms (and also human forms fot robots)
I NEED A CATCAM IN EVERY VIDEO. THANK YOU.
Ouch Simsie... I remember when Zenon came out.... I LOVED Zenon
We need a massive update to revamp the lesser occults. Plant Sims, Aliens, Mermaids.
Like they keep plant sims so secretive and I dislike that the plant sim thing is only temporary for the player while in the sims 3 they were plant sims their entire lives and you could get plant sim babies from the special seeds you PLANTED IN POT like you GREW YOUR BABYYY !!
Aliens need some sort of skill tree!! Really ANYTHING will be an improvement to their current state. They’re basically just a normal sim with a pinch of difference.
Mermaid deserved skill trees and I am still so disappointed they didn’t give it to us. They could go a good or evil route and be good sweet mermaid or go full evil siren vibes and drown people.
The thing with the star wars pack is that it should expanded upon aliens very big missed opportunity and ig a cash grab to the star wars fans.
I just saw you on the women's month you tube card and I couldn't be happier for you! Thank you for being you.
Aliens need a refresh desperately. And something like the Glimmerstone to get to Sixam.
I really wish they’d add the ability to “sync” the alien appearances. That’s the main gripe I have with them.
Ive been playing a male astronaut who loves using an observatory for a couple of weeks, hes been abducted 16 times and he will not get pregnant! Im super sad 🤣 i think it might be bugged.
That tiny house is one of my favorites that you've built with a theme!!! but im partial to alienes because for some reason I would always play as one in sims 2
I’ve found that the best way to get crystals / gems and metals for the jewelry is with the scientist career. You can get a ton in a single work day!
As someone that was born in 1997, I feel a _liiiiiittle_ called out 😂 I never watched Zenon, but I know my older sister liked it lol
This was a fun episode, Kayla. Seeing Sunny join the LP was a nice treat.
I absolutely remember Zenon! I actually have ProtoZoa’s supernova girl in my playlist and kinda listen to it often 😂😂😂
Niche reference. Then referenced the most popular DCOM
I was 3 when Zenon came out in '99 😅😅
I'm turning 28 on April 28th, so that makes me feel really old 😂😂😂😂
I miss when aliens stayed disguised when out on community lots so you would be genuinely surprised by them. And you could save either by their alien form or their human form for the gallery.
i think there's a command on mccc that lets you force all aliens into their disguise, but i havent tested it out yet
I love how chaotically bisexual all your sims are
Yaaassssss
Zoom Zoom Zoom! Lol. I LOVED Zenon!! I used to rent the movie from the library all the time!
Aliens and Mermaids need a refresher like they definitely need a still tree cuz they don’t have much going for themselves
guys night on international women’s day is craazzzyyyy 💀
I hope they'll consider revamping those, like they do for the base game so that it's compatible for new features, etc. If you have the packs for aliens, you can get stuff upgraded next time you log into the game, and if you don't, it doesn't affect your game until you buy those packs, etc. Aliens SHOULD have skill trees & ability gauges specific to them (& mermaids), just like the other occult folks do!
Came to watch this after seeing TH-cam feature you for international women's day and it making me smile ❤️
Watching this now, a few days before my 9 year anniversary with my boyfriend is wild, so long ago! I'm glad to share a month with them😂😂
"It came out in 1999. It's OLD!!" Kayla inadvertently insults half her fanbase. XD I am not just an OG simmer but an OG Maxis fan! I have been playing Maxis games since their inception in 1987! I was 3 in 1987! I guess I am a geezer XD.
If only you could introduce your high-maintenance sims to wellness items like the yoga mat, then they could truly be free of suffering
Zenon you hit me in the feels I love that movie always watched it when it was on I now feel old. You awesome Simsie
I love the aliens, mostly for the aesthetic, but it drives me INSANE in gameplay how other sims will just “discover” you’re an alien apropos of nothing. Totally ruins most of the storyline/immersion for me.
LMAO "If you want to play with the crystal pack be an alien"
Lol i legit just made an alien infant with Sulani Mana & Father Winter's Baby traits for my Mega Challenge which includes Single Sim, Super Sim, Runaway Teen, Human Enough, Homeless, 100 Baby, Black Widow, Gold Digger & Career Legacy
They should’ve totally added the eyeball trees from spore into Sixam, lol
I want Aliens and Mermaids to get a refresh so they can have skill trees and special powers too! At the very least, if it was possible to make a mod for it I'd be so happy
There's a mod called expanded mermaids (possibly aliens) that does this! They do other occults too.
you made spacegirl themed megamind, which I unironically love
When you said that Zenon was older than you.. I couldn't comprehend for a minute.. haha
I swear I'm not that old 😮
1:12 I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS MOVIE FOR SO LONG, I THOUGHT IT WAS A FEVER DREAM
THANK YOU SIMSIE🙏🏻🙏🏻
Omg you have gotten me in such an alien mood. I love this so much.
This video made me realize I’ve never played with an alien in my household and didn’t know what the occult could even do 😂
Zoom zoom zoom make my heart go boom boom
Get to work is the expansion that at least felt expansive, retail, 3 new careers, a bad new world, a secret world, and an occult wish sims was still this ambitious
