A mod which fixes various issues which prevent sims with multiple occult types from functioning normally. Also enables all occults for Servos.
This mod is still a work in progress, so please report any issues.
Known Issues
Engine Related
EA's new Memory Boost feature may temporarily unload custom textures that are not currently in use. This primarily affects Werewolf + Fairy hybrids, where one form may occasionally render with a completely black custom texture. This is only a temporary rendering issue—the texture data itself is not lost or corrupted. Saving the game while the affected form is active and then reloading the save will restore the texture. Unfortunately, this appears to be an engine-level bug and cannot be completely fixed by the mod.
High School Years
Fashion Outfits may occasionally render incorrectly on the Werewolf form, causing random CAS parts to appear instead of the intended outfit. This is only a visual issue; the outfit itself is still intact. Removing and reapplying the outfit will restore its appearance.
Mini-Update: Fixed a bug which caused an exception when using certain animation mods. Update: 2026-07-25
Focused primarily on bug fixes, performance improvements, and outfit handling.
Added a dedicated log file for mod-related exceptions: bb_hybrid.log
Added a new cheat command: hybrid.fix_outfits
Scans every occult form in the save for corrupted outfits that can crash the game when displayed.
Any affected outfits will be replaced with newly generated outfits.
Additional safeguards have been added to prevent newly generated outfits from becoming corrupted.
This command should only need to be run once on existing saves, if needed at all.
Career outfits and other special outfits are now automatically copied from the Human form to all occult forms.
Planning or editing a career outfit in CAS now temporarily switches the Sim to their Human form so the updated outfit can be synchronized correctly.
Hybrid Werewolves now correctly copy career outfits after getting a new job or receiving a promotion.
Situation outfits (used by service NPCs while working) now display correctly for Werewolves in Werewolf form.
Actor career costumes are now correctly applied to the Werewolf form. Makeup applied for the role is still only visible in the Human form.
Added a new configuration option: sync_hair_to_werewolf_form
When enabled, attempts to synchronize Hair, Facial Hair, and Body Hair from the Human form to the Werewolf form.
This setting respects the existing mod setting's hair synchronization options: Enable Body Hair to be copied to the Werewolf form, Enable Facial Hair to be copied to the Werewolf form, Enable Hair to be copied to the Werewolf forms
Because the game sometimes removes these CAS parts automatically, this feature remains experimental and is disabled by default.
Run the game once after updating to add the new setting to the configuration file.
Fixed an issue where Werewolf Fur or Fairy Wing pattern data could be lost for Werewolf + Fairy hybrids when loading a save on Batuu.
Fixed the "Plan Batuu Outfit" interaction.
Fixed an issue where hybrids aging from Child to Teen could become bald and lose their eyebrows.
Improved the mod's save and load performance.
Optimized the code responsible for adding and removing occult types. These rewritten functions are now faster than EA's original implementation.
Reworked how the mod manages its hidden texture-storage photos.
Temporary runtime photos are now handled more reliably.
Hidden photos should no longer randomly become visible in Sim inventories.
This also improves compatibility with EA's recent Memory Boost changes, although the remaining black texture issue is caused by an engine-level rendering bug and cannot currently be fully resolved.
Patched several Fairy wing functions that could throw exceptions, even in an unmodded game.
This notably fixes most exceptions caused by the FairySatisfyConstraintSuperInteraction interaction.
Randomly generated fairies (not premades) may now generate with any wing texture instead of the limited selection based on their randomly assigned wing type, resulting in new texture/wing shape combinations.
Old Updates
Update: 2026-7-8
A small update which addresses a few bugs and quality of life fixes
Moved the pie menu interactions into a single interaction which will open a menu
Improves the logic of the needs displayed in the needs panel. It should be more responsive when switching between sims, should be more consistent in sorting needs, and it should no longer have a chance of showing invalid needs not meant to be visible.
Added an option to display up to two long bar needs at once. Disabled by default.
The setting "Neighborhood Aliens wear Human Outfits" has been renamed to "Non-Sixam Aliens wear human outfits - Affects baby aliens" to better reflect what it does
Playable Alien babies should now copy their human outfits to their alien form when aging up if Non-Sixam Aliens wear human outfits is enabled.
Randomly generated fairy townies should no longer have a chance to spawn in bald
Using the copy outfit interaction to copy the sim's outfits to the mermaid form will no longer copy full body clothing
Using the copy outfit interaction to copy the sim's outfits to the mermaid form will no longer cause the mermaid form to temporarily lose its tail (this was purely a visual glitch and the tail was still there)
Occult child sims who age up into teenagers should now have more consistent hair among their forms rather than the game's default behavior of randomly generating hair
Child Werewolves aging up into teens will now copy over their human outfits to their werewolf form
Child Fairies aging up into teens will now copy over their human outfits to their fairy form
Added Plantsim to the Add/Remove Occults interaction
Added Skeleton (Jungle Adventure) to the Add/Remove Occults interaction. There are 3 different skeleton traits in the menu. Combine the Base trait with whichever trait has the visuals you prefer.
Update: 2026-7-2
This version will be a separate download until it has been determined no serious bugs were introduced.
Rewrote several portions of the code to optimize performance and to make it easier to implement additional outfit-related interactions in the future.
Some of your mod settings may be reset when upgrading to the new version. Mini update #1: Fixed a compatibility issue with a certain animation mod. Sims in their occult forms should no longer revert to human form when performing custom animations. Mini update #2: Identified and fixed an issue with the new Reset Fur\Wing Pattern interaction not properly re-randomizing the fairy form's wing colors.
The mod's interactions have been unlocked so they can be accessed and ran on any sim and not just the active one. Using them from the phone will still target the active sim.
The Copy Human Outfit to Occult interaction has been unlocked for the Mermaid and Werewolf occults
Using the interaction to copy your human outfits to the fairy form will no longer remove wings
Added new settings to toggle whether this interaction will copy Body Hair, Facial Hair, and/or Hair to the Werewolf form. Note that Facial Hair and Hair will not persist without an additional mod which unlocks those slots in CAS.
Hybrid Alien babies should now remain in their alien form when born.
Added an interaction which clears the saved textures for the Werewolf and Fairy occults - This is meant as a recovery tool for broken hybrids downloaded from the gallery or from old unmodded saves.
Added an interaction which clears the saved fur and wing colors for werewolves and fairies. If the sim still has the occult when the interaction is used, then the colors will be re-randomized.
When changing to the werewolf form, if the sim has completely blank fur color data, the mod will now attempt to randomize it. Cannot detect all cases though.
Reduced the chances of mermaid tails failing to be applied to sims becoming mermaids
The mod will now attempt to remove invalid parts from the Mermaid and Werewolf forms when a sim loads in or when a new form is generated. This is meant to address issues in which a mermaid could have human feet sticking out of the tail or a werewolf could have a distorted human head.
Various performance optimizations
Update: 2025-10-7
Fixed issues with CAS. Changes made when entering CAS through any in-game interaction or method should now properly stick regardless of which order the sim gained or inherited their occult forms.
Update: 2025-10-6
Finally tracked down one of the major causes of mermaid tails disappearing for hybrids.
When loading into the game, the game will now properly initialize all occult forms to their proper occult types, instead of the sim's current occult type (the one currently displayed in the needs panel), before trying to copy over the outfits from the save. This should prevent parts such as the mermaid tail from failing to be copied over to the sim.
Further compatibility fixes with other mods
Known Issues:
Changes to a hybrid's occult forms in CAS (mostly Werewolf) may be reverted upon exiting CAS for the first time in a game session.
Using the mod's Edit in CAS (Solo) interaction or transforming into the occult form you want to edit before entering CAS will bypass this issue.
Update: 2025-9-27
Finally tracked down and fixed an incompatibility issue when using this mod together with specific configurations of other mods which would cause an exception upon loading into the game. This should be the last needed update for a while.
Addressed an issue where the _generate_sim_info function of the OccultTracker class could cause a LastException with specific configurations of other mods when loading into the game
Slightly loosened the filtering restrictions for which needs are able to be shown in the needs panel. Note: If the Hydration need disappears from the needs panel for mermaids with a specific mod installed, then use the Toggle Hidden Motives interaction to hide the "Tail Time" need.
Update: 2025-9-26
Bugfixes and compatibility fixes
Child fairies who age up into teens will now have their wings properly respawn shortly after their first interaction that requires them to walk or move somewhere, which usually forces the game to re-animate their wings
Using cheats to age a sim down in CAS should now age down their other forms
The fairy wing objects will now properly be deleted whenever a fairy temporarily shifts out of fairy form when entering CAS, preventing an error when the game tries to run their attach interaction when the game returns to live mode
The fairy wing objects will now be properly recreated whenever a fairy sim ages up from child->teen or respawns after entering CAS, preventing an error
The function used when generating occult form data has been adjusted to be more compatible with other mods and to reduce the probability of errors
Werewolves with the Transformation Mastery perk who shift out of werewolf form will now properly have the hidden transformation mastery buff removed (Note: I plan to rework the transform interaction sometime soon since it was clearly not designed with hybrids in mind)
Additional error checking was added to fix an issue in which the mod's attempts to read the inventory data of sims who had corrupted or missing inventory data would cause an error
Attempts were made to fix an edge case where sims who were previously saved as Aliens in CAS to the gallery, loaded from the gallery into a brand-new household in CAS, and then had their occult changed into something else would change into their alien form upon entering live mode. They "should" now remain in their human form
Occult sims with required occult forms, such as Aliens, Mermaids, Werewolves, and Fairies will now have their forms generated upon loading into the game if they do not have data for those forms
Major Update: 2025-9-23
The experimental version has graduated into becoming the main version
Major code changes to make the mod more stable, clean up the menus, and address some bugs.
Updated the Occult Interaction Tweaks package so werewolf nap and servo recharge will restore emotional force for fairies with the perk which restores it when sleeping.
Also updated the Occult Turn Interactions Unlocker package to unlock nearly all interactions to become occult through gameplay
Premade Sims (in new saves) and sims downloaded from the gallery who are of occults of packs you do not own will now gain placeholder traits. This will tell the mod to give them the proper occult should you later download or enable the required pack. For example: If you have Life and Death, but not Realm of Magic, then Lady Ravendancer Goth will now have a temporary spellcaster trait that will tell the mod to give her the spellcaster occult if you later install Realm of Magic.
Fixed needs sorting logic, so it should now be fully compatible with most mods which add custom needs.
Added an option to hide specific normal display needs from the needs panel, should the mod's logic at detecting an invalid invisible need fail
The mod will now be able to read the inventories of non-instanced sims, allowing werewolf-fairy hybrids to retain their fur and wing colors if the save is loaded while such a hybrid is not on the active lot (at work, school, etc.).
The code used to back up forms when entering CAS has been altered to reduce the occurrence of mermaids losing their tails when entering CAS
Completely overhauled the mod's interactions so they now fit into menus, allowing me to more easily add new functionality
The settings file has been completely rewritten. The mod will attempt to convert your settings to the new format when you load into the household. The settings file will now have detailed descriptions for each setting describing what they do.
Figured out how to instantly hide fairy wings when changing forms without forcing the sims to reset
Added new options, such as disabling the plantsim hair and skin effects
Hybrid babies are now an optional feature instead of enabled by default. This behavior can be toggled on and off in the settings interaction.
Babies can now inherit the wing and fur colors of their parents instead of being randomly generating when reaching teen
To fix an issue with missing mermaid tails and corrupt werewolf forms when aging from child->teen, these forms will now be completely regenerated when a sim ages up and changes into those forms for the first time, instead of the game's default behavior of trying to generate an invalid baby mermaid or werewolf form that ages up. Note: Aging a teen down to child will still corrupt the werewolf form
The inventory objects which are used to save a hybrid's fur/wing colors and custom textures will now be deleted when the game is loaded and recreated when saving the game, to prevent confusion when certain actions, such as moving in sims, force hidden inventory objects to become visible
Mermaids *should* no longer have legs when afflicted with an enchanted by nature ailment
Parents who cured their occults or were the child of occults can pass down genetic data for the occults. For example: The human child of a fairy will still inherit the wing colors of their parents and can pass them down to their children. If the child becomes a fairy later in life through gameplay, they will have the inherited wing colors.
Former fairies who become a fairy again through gameplay will retain their previous wing colors
Various other fixes too numerous to list here
Quick Update: 2025-7-23
Fix for the Experimental Version in which the saving process for fairies or werewolves could fail, resulting in relationships being reset.
Update: 2025-7-22
The Experimental Version which supports Fairies and Werewolves having their own separate textures has received a new update to address a few bugs and make the texture tracking system more reliable.
Changes listed below:
Fairies will now have their wing colors properly saved when transforming for the first time
Fixed an issue where the mod could fail to reload data used for tracking Fairy and Werewolf textures, causing one form to be blacked out
Fixed an issue where deleting any werewolf or fairy sim from the game could throw off the mod's entire tracking system
Fixed an issue where the mod could fail to track a sim's form textures when loading into the game for the first time if they are in human form
If any of the objects used for tracking data were to somehow become visible and placed in the world, the mod will now immediately attempt to place them back into the sim's hidden inventory
If any of the objects were to be duplicated, the mod will now erase duplicates when loading into the lot
Werewolves generating the werewolf form for the first time should now have their fur colors correctly randomly generated instead of all of them being black or grey
Using any of the mod's interactions to alter the display priority of needs should now force an immediate update in the needs panel for all household sims the next time the needs panel is opened
Using the interaction to change the priority of the needs panel for the human form should now force all household members to re-evaluate their occult display for their needs panels
Using the delete form interaction on the Fairy form will now also forcefully remove the fairy wings from the sim, preventing a possible game crash
This version should now be more compatible with mods which alter the display of the Fairy's Emotional Force need
Old changes to experimental version:
Update: 2025-7-20
Updated the occult turn actions unlocker download with an additional package file which unlocks the interactions required to ask for and plant the seed required to turn your occult sim into a Fairy.
Optional Experimental Version as a separate download which supports Werewolves and Fairies having their own separate textures. Please report any issues with this version.
Changes listed below: Mini Update: Fixed the new needs filtering system being too strict and filtering out Servo charge. The filter has been adjusted to be slightly more lenient.
[spoiler]
Changes:
Added a new option in the cfg file: track_custom_textures_and_pelt_layers - Enabled by default, this option will enable support for Werewolf/Fairy hybrids to have their own textures per form. Please see the known issues for notes about this.
Added a new option in the cfg file: interactions_are_cheats - if set to True it will make the mod's sim interactions into cheat interactions, requiring testing cheats to be enabled and for shift+click to be pressed.
Added a new option in the cfg file: interactions_phone_only - if set to True it will removes the mod's interactions from sims and forces them to be in the phone menu. This will ignore and override the other interaction options.
Added a new option in the cfg file: override_motive_sorting - Enabled by default. When enabled, the mod will ignore how trait want the needs to be sorted and instead decide for itself how to sort the needs
The Vampire Thirst need is now given the same sort order as hunger and should consistently be sorted as the first need in the second row
The mod will now consider any normal display need without a valid display name to be invalid for the needs panel and will filter them out
Werewolves who are aged down below teen with cheats will have their temperaments removed
Werewolves who who are missing the required number of temperaments for their skill rank will now be given temperaments upon loading into the game
Notes or Known Issues:
You may need to save the game once in each form the first time you paint your sim's forms, or else the game will only commit your current form's texture to the save file and the other will become invalid and blacked out.
It is recommended you switch to the form you are editing in live mode the very first time you try to edit it, so the mod can lock in the form's texture id when you load in from CAS
Before installing this version, if your sim is already a Werewolf/Fairy hybrid, then it is recommended you switch to whichever form you the mod to assign your sim's current texture to
Your custom textures and fur/wing color data are saved to hidden objects in your sim's inventory.
If a bug or other glitch forces the hidden objects containing the occult texture data to become visible, then it is recommended you delete them so the mod can regenerate a new hidden set.
Enabling this texture tracking system will extend load times slightly by about 1-2 seconds depending on your hardware
Update: 2025-7-11
Fixed the vast majority of issues with Werewolf/Fairy hybrids, however the issue with them sharing a single paint texture doesn't seem like it would be easy to fix at the moment, but I will continue to investigate. Relevant fixes have been crossed out in the previous update notes
Fixed an issue with the game not properly unequipping fairy wings when directly shifting from the fairy occult to another occult, which could cause a crash. Fairies will now have their wings forcibly unequipped when shifting into another occult form. This will usually cause them to reset and clear their queue.
Adjusted the function the game uses to copy genetics to not copy human genetics such as eyes to the werewolf form
Adjusted the aging function used by the game so all occult forms should properly be updated and not have any strange surprises, such as werewolves gaining human eyes when aging up.
Adjusted the occult genetics function the game uses when an occult sim has a baby. This should make the genetics less random, and reduce the occurrence of cases such as babies being skin tones neither parent has.
Added a new download: Fairy No Vampire Thirst removes vampire thirst from fairies. Designed to be used with my other vampire mods which restore human needs.
Known Issues
Werewolves and Fairies share the same paint texture, so making any changes to the paint texture while in fairy CAS will void out the werewolf form's fur since the wing texture is the wrong size for the werewolf form's body. Either remove the paint and only use the color swatches, or only paint while in werewolf CAS.
Mermaids still have a chance to lose their tails in CAS for reasons unknown
The new sickness introduced in Enchanted by Nature which applies a stone skin texture appears to temporarily bug out the mermaid form while the sim is affected. This is only a visual bug, and the mermaid form will return unharmed when the sickness ends
Old Updates::
Update: 2025-7-10
A quick update rushed out to make Fairy/Werewolf hybrids not be unplayable This is a separate download as it is still in testing due to how unstable fairy hybrids appear to be WARNING: Fairy hybrids are the most unstable hybrids in the game so far when combined with Werewolf
Added a new interaction Toggle Long Display for Occults - this allows you to select which occults will not display the long bar need
Added a new interaction Toggle Orb Display for Occults - this allows you to select which occults will not display the orb need (recommended to toggle fairies)
Preliminary work on stabilizing the conflicts present in werewolf/fairy hyrbids
Added a new download OccultTurnActionsUnlocked This will unlock most occult turn interactions, allowing you to create hybrids through normal gameplay. There are a few interactions which are unaffected, such as Greg usually being unable to pass werebies to occult sims
Known Issues
EA modified a few functions, reintroducing the bug with werewolf eyes changing colors or bulging when exiting CAS after modifying another occult - Fixed, but this is not retroactive, you will need to take the werewolf to CAS and randomize the eyes if they are affected
Werewolf/Fairy hybrids are only allowed 1 custom paint texture. Painting a hybrid fairy's wings will void the werewolf form's fur. It is recommended you leave these hybrids as wingless fairies, or simply do not paint their wings
Exiting CAS as a fairy with wings will cause the fairy form to enter a dangerous state in which transforming directly into any other non-human occult form will bug the sim's appearance and can cause a game crash unless you quickly revert back to fairy form or drag them into CAS - Fixed
Hotfix: 2025-7-3
Fixed the issue with werewolf eyes changing colors when editing other occult forms
Fixes for a few edge cases which could result in Werewolf hybrids having their wolf forms become black and textureless, such as if the player used manage worlds to enter build mode immediately after loading into a hybrid werewolf's household
Update: 2025-7-2
Small update for the July patch and preparation for Fairies now that their code is in the game
The Set Human Occult Priority interaction will now list all occults present in the game's code, even if the required pack isn't installed. Non-installed occults will use a default icon and their internal name from the game's script files. This will allow the player to retain a single settings file if they prefer to play multiple saves with different packs disabled
Fixed a bug where the occult form priority setting would reset when the game was restarted
Made changes to the functions used to backup and restore occult forms when entering/exiting CAS from live mode in an effort to make them more performant to reduce saving and loading times
Sims cured of Vampirism should now retain their dark form data if they are made Vampires again
Known Issues:
Werewolf eye color might desync from the currently selected color after editing another occult form, causing the Werewolf eye color to randomize when returning to live mode Fixed in latest update
Update: 2025-6-8
Mostly focused on ensuring compatibility with new occults that may be added to the game
It is advised to delete any existing bb_hybrid.cfg file in the mod's folder, if present, when upgrading to a new version of the mod or when installing a new occult pack, so the default settings can generate for the occults in your game
Added a new interaction: Set Human Occult Priority - This will allow you to set the priority of which occult will be displayed in the needs panel while in human form. Clicking on an occult will move it to the top of the list.
Removed the fix for the travel bug introduced in EA's May patch, as they have fixed the bug.
Fixed an issue where the mod might restore the vampire dark form if it was deleted in CAS.
The Enter CAS as Occult interaction now also displays non-occult as an option.
The Enter CAS as Occult interaction will now require you to confirm your choice, to prevent accidental misclicks and having to sit through 2 loading screens to go back and select the correct occult.
The Copy Human Genetics to Form and Copy Human Outfits and Hair to Form interactions will be disabled for occults which have not yet generated form data. For example, if your sim becomes an Alien, the interactions will be disabled for the Alien form until the sim switches to their Alien form for the first time so the game can generate the form.
Reworked the logic for the needs panel display again to ensure needs are properly sorted on with Vampire-Servo hybrids.
The mod will now also try to detect custom occults added by mods which directly add new occults to the game's occult system. If a sim has a detected occult, most mod functionality concerning that occult's form will be deferred to the game's default behavior with the assumption that the custom occult's behavior is being controlled by another mod. Currently, I only know of one other mod which adds such an occult.
Update: 2025-6-8
Mostly focused on ensuring compatibility with occults that may potentially be added with the upcoming Enchanted by Nature pack. This version included major rewrites to the mod's code to accommodate the new priority system allowing users to select which needs will be prioritized in the needs panel, so it will be a separate download until it can be verified that no potential bugs were missed.
Added a new interaction: Set Orb Priority - This will allow you to prioritize which orb need will be displayed in the needs panel with the ones higher in the list taking priority for sims who have multiple orb needs. Clicking on a need will move it to the top of the list. This will list every orb need in your game, including those added by mods. This interaction will be hidden if you have no packs with orb needs in your game. You will need to reopen the needs panel if it is already open to update the display.
Added a new interaction: Set Long Priority - The same as the orb interaction, but with long needs, such as Vampire Energy
The mod will save these settings to a file named "bb_hybrid.cfg" which will be created in the same folder the mod is in
Optimizations which should ensure shorter loading times when traveling between lots and less memory usage by the mod overall
Fixed a bug related to EA's May 25th patch. Sims who grew up from Child - > Teen and then gained facial or body hair through the hair growth system should no longer lose that hair when traveling if they had never entered CAS or if the game had not been saved at any point before traveling
Separated the Vampires not having Servo Charge into a separate download - Requires Vampires and Discover University
Added Servos not having Vampire Thirst as a separate download - - Requires Vampires and Discover University
Update: 2025-5-30
Mostly focused on fixing bugs EA introduced with the latest patch
Fixed a bug EA introduced in the latest patch where sims who travel after aging up can transform into stretched-limb horrors if they weren't brought into CAS to allow the game to properly save their age. Sims affected by this bug will have their appearance refreshed momentarily after fully loading in, so the bug may be visible for a second or two
Fixed an issue EA introduced in which traveling to a new location after changing outfits or occult forms without entering CAS will cause the sim to revert to the previous outfit or have their previous form's textures applied to their body. Sims will have their appearance and outfit refreshed momentarily after fully loading in, so the bug may be visible for a second or two
Note that the two above fixes may slightly impact loading times while traveling until EA fixes these bugs
The mod's self-interactions have been enabled for all occult sims
The interaction to copy genetics or outfits will be hidden for sims who do not have any compatible forms
The interactions to delete forms or copy genetics or outfits to forms now have a confirm button in their dialogue
Addressed an EA bug where newly generated werewolves will only have one eye and messed up ears. The fix will only affect newly generated werewolf forms.
Fixed an EA bug where werewolves may gain an additional temperament every time the save is loaded
Werewolves will have their extra temperaments removed when the save is loaded, correctly having 1 temperament per werewolf rank, maxing out at 4
Removing the mermaid occult will now also remove the Mermaid Discovered trait which causes sims to use the mermaid bathtub pose
Non-mermaids will have the Mermaid Discovered trait automatically removed
The logic for the needs panel has been rewritten so sorting overrides from traits will once again correctly work, with extra needs added afterwards
Small Update: 2025-5-4
A quick fix to an issue affecting occult sims created in CAS and sims imported from the gallery who have never loaded into the world into as an occult before. They will no longer be reverted into humans.
The game will now properly recalculate whether the Vampire Dark Form should be enabled or disabled after using the mod's interactions to delete the form or to copy the human form's outfits and genetics to that form
Update: 2025-5-3
[spoiler] Fixes:
All ghost and infant needs should now properly display in the needs panel.
The needs panel should no longer sometimes switch to human mode when entering into the game.
Newly turned werewolf hybrids should no longer generate forms with messed up ears.
These forms can be fixed by taking them into CAS and selecting any ear preset.
Known Bugs:
Entering into CAS as an Alien, Mermaid, or Werewolf will remove Vampire or Spellcaster specific eye colors from the human form. To fix this, re-enter CAS as a Vampire or Spellcaster and reselect the eye colors.
Using the command to delete the Werewolf form on a sim who has been a werewolf for a while may cause the new form to generate with incorrect ears. This can be fixed by entering CAS as Werewolf and selecting any ear preset, or it can be prevented by entering CAS as Werewolf immediately so a new form can be properly generated.
Changes:
New cheat commands
occult_add <occult> - Adds the specified occult to the sim. Valid occults are Alien, Vampire, Mermaid, Witch, Werewolf. Not case sensitive.
Example: occult_add witch
occult_remove <occult> - same as above, but removes the occult
Example: occult_remove vampire
occult_edit <occult> - takes the sim into CAS as the specified occult, if they have it
Example: occult_edit mermaid
occult_delete <occult> - deletes the occult form
Example: occult_delete alien
occult_set <occult> - sets the occult displayed in the needs panel
Example: occult_set werewolf
Update: 2025-4-30
Fixes and Changes:
Spellcaster and Vampire eyes and ears will now more consistently show up in human form thanks to EA's latest patch
However, implementing the fix the means needs panel has returned to its previous behavior of automatically reverting to Vampire or Spellcaster mode when in human form
The Vampire Dark Form will remain deleted if deleted in CAS
Added new interactions
Delete Occult Form - Completely erases the selected occult form. A new one will be randomized when your sim next enters the form
Copy Human Genetics to Occult Form - Copies the sim's body, skin, and face to the selected form. Unavailable for Werewolf form.
This interaction is only available while in human form
Copy Human Outfits and Hair to Occult Form - Copies all of the sim's outfits, hairs, accessories, body hair, etc., to the selected form.
Unavailable for Mermaid and Werewolf form. This interaction is only available while in human form
Known Issues:
Editing the sim in CAS as an Alien, Mermaid, or Werewolf may randomize away the human form's eyes if using a Vampire or Spellcaster option unavailable to normal humans.
Changing the needs panel's display mode to those occults and then changing outfits while in human form will temporarily revert pointy ear options into normal ears. They will be restored when changing the needs panel back to Vampire or Spellcaster and changing outfits again.
Copying genetics or outfits to alien form may fail and need to be performed twice for the changes to stick
Update: 2025-29-4
Fixes and new changes!
Fixes:
Entering CAS no longer randomizes other occult forms, they are temporarily saved by the mod and are restored when exiting CAS
However there is still an unsolved issue of hybrid mermaids sometimes losing their tail when brought into CAS requiring the user to reselect a tail
Vampire dark form interactions are now properly disabled for hybrids if the sim has no dark form data in CAS
Fixed a bug in which the human form would be overwritten by data from occult forms
Fixed a possible bug in which sims who entered CAS immediately after having an occult type removed would regain the occult when loading back in
Changes:
Complete rewrite of the logic deciding which needs will be displayed
It now prioritizes non-occult needs over occult needs
This is so needs added by custom traits through mods should have priority
The needs panel should now consistently sort needs in the same order every time
However, traits can no longer override the order in which needs are presented
As a consequence, Vampires now have needs sorted as Fun|Thirst|Social|Hygiene instead of Thirst being first
Needs added by occults newer to the game will have priority over older occults
This means the Werewolf Rage need now has priority over the Spellcaster Charge need in the orb display
The needs panel will remain in its current mode if shifting into human form from an occult form that has an experience bar (Vampire, Werewolf)
The needs panel will remain in its current mode when returning to the game from CAS or traveling, if the current mode has an experience bar
Notable fixes include:
Hybrids may now safely enter CAS without causing catastrophic damage to the Sim
New interactions added to hybrids thanks to a custom Hybrid trait which is automatically added and removed: allows you to change which occult is displayed in the needs panel (To spend perk points on specific occults) or enter CAS as a specific occult (any eligible household members will also be that occult in CAS)
The needs panel is no longer monopolized by the Vampire occult preventing other occult needs from showing up
The servo trait no longer conflicts with the occult traits, allowing them to have any occult type - Don't be cruel enough to make your servo a mermaid unless you're using my servo tweaks mod to waterproof them
The Magical Bloodline traits no longer conflict with other occults and "should" remain on sims who take on new occult types
Babies born from parents who were in alternate forms during conception will now use their parents' human forms as the base for their human form, instead of the form the parents were in
This is mostly aimed at babies conceived from parents who were in vampire dark form with undead skin colors while their parents had human skin tones in their normal forms
Requirements:
Technically, you don't need anything, but it won't do much of anything if you have no packs with occults
Notes and Known Issues:
The needs panel display will automatically default to the following priority: Current transformed form -> Spellcaster -> Vampire -> Werewolf -> Fairy - You may now choose the priority through an interaction
The needs panel can only display one "Orb" need at a time. You may choose the priority through an interaction or disable the display for specific occults, such as disabling the orb display while the needs panel is in Fairy mode
If making a Servo into an occult with an alternate form, it's recommended you also download a Humanized Servos mod to prevent their occult form from being overwritten.
Werewolf temperments will only display while the needs panel is in "Werewolf Mode" and Spellcaster curses will only display on the needs panel when it's in "Spellcaster Mode"
Mermaid hybrids may have no tail when entering CAS - This was apparently an EA bug that even affected non-hybrid mermaids, which they have fixed.
Some ailments introduced in Enchanted by Nature may temporarily remove the mermaid tail. However it will return if you cure the ailment. This may be an EA bug - Appears to have been fixed
Added Features:
Occult genetics. The child of a fairy or werewolf will now randomly inherit the wing and fur patterns of their parents. These patterns will be used if the child ever becomes a werewolf or fairy, and they can be passed down to their children even if the child never becomes an occult. Will only affect babies born after the mod is installed.
Servos are now able to become occults if the option is enabled
Plantsims may now become occults
New Trait - Hybrid - Automatically added to hybrid occults.
This trait adds multiple new self-interactions which allow you to configure most settings, modify your sim in CAS, or change the display of the needs panel
OPTIONAL FILE: Occult Interaction Tweaks
Makes changes to several occult interactions for cross-occult play
The Werewolf Nap interactions now also restore Vampire Energy
The Mark Territory (pee) interactions now have a time limit, so they don't last forever when used by sims without a bladder need. They now also restore a (very) small amount of Fun, so Servos will at least get something out of using them
The Groom interaction now slightly restores Servo durability
The Devour interaction now also restores a small amount of Thirst for Vampires and Emotional Force for Fairies
The Werewolf Nap and Servo Recharge interactions will restore Emotional Force for Fairies with the perk which restores the need when sleeping
OPTIONAL FILE: Occult Turn Actions Unlocked
Unlocks most interactions required to make your already occult sim into another occult
Vampires may now turn other occult sims, except Servos and Mermaids. Will release an update for this later
Occult sims may eat Mermadic Kelp to become Mermaids
The Sages of Magic in the realm of magic may now turn occult sims into Spellcasters
Werewolves can now offer the cursed bite to occult sims - (Does not unlock werebies from fighting Greg)
Occult sims may now ask for and plant the fruit needed to meet mother nature, or they can be directly turned by a fairy with the required perk
These interactions should also be unlocked for Servos and Plantsims
Overwritten / Modified Resources:
Nearly every single function in the OccultTracker class has been modified. It is not recommended to use multiple different hybrid stabilizing mods together at the same time.
the __call__ method of the OccultFormAvailabilityTest class has been modified to make the tests for the Vampire Dark Form interactions be consistent with whether the sim has a dark form or not
The following script functions of the TraitTracker class in the traits.trait_tracker module have been modified:
_send_commodity_list_msg
Consult the source code to see which other script functions were modified
Slowly beginning to copy my mods over to curseforge. Same username.
