Gods as a New Occult Type
Would it possible to create an entirely new occult for the Sims 4? and could it be a god? Not the monotheistic, absolute, and awe-some type of God from preachers' sermons and the Bible. These gods could harken back to the ancient Greek, Sumerian, etc. gods, beings on a totally different level than ordinary sims in terms of ability and longer lifespans (similar to the fairies of Sims 3). Special traits could be assigned to a specific type of god (Earth, Fire, War,etc.) The offspring of the God and an ordinary sim would be a demigod, and the offspring of a demigod and a Sim would hold some abilities and be mostly Sim. The third generation that marries another Sim would be entirely ordinary. If the demigod has a kid with a god, then the child will have more god-like traits than if they were human, and so on. (Ahem, Percy Jackson.) Entirely without institutionalized religion, but the God would be perceived by the Medium/Spiritual Trait by someone I've forgotten. I hope someone reads this and thinks about it however they can. Thanks!

It is probably possible for a game developer to do most of this, but my guess is it will never happen in this series.

That’s supposed to be the role of the player.

There's no hybrid in sims 4 so... short answer is, no I don't see that possible in the game.

Long answer: No! Because devs, even whithout demigods and sims with special abilities are probably either not interseted in this or too lazy to do something like that and if they did decided to do it it would have probably be a poorly executed gamepack.

It would have to be fictional deity "the god" based of a fictional origin. That means it will not be Jesus, Budha, whatever. The Fanbase is made up of people from different backgrounds, religions and beliefs.

As for regards to modding, I would say I would probably be all in for such a life state/trait despite I don't play it. I'm also interest how much creativity could the author of said project would pour into. Will the god sim have powers over of (such as) testingcheats ? Would they be made without no premade appearance / physique, as in allowing any player to customize their biological / fashionable looks to desire (would be great as it wouldn't limit the player to particular religious belief)?

P.S. Sorry for my bad english.

So like Meta human Sims? That would be cool but there has to be more to them then just superpowers cause otherwise they would feel like a Sim with cheats. Also we don't even have witches after 4 years, this probably won't happen.

I've always been a fan of Greek mythology so that sounds like a cool idea, in theory. But, for obvious reasons, I doubt EA would straight up call the life state "gods". The closest you'll probably get is having to do some roleplaying, yourself, with the life states we already have and the ones we'll get in the future. Especially if we're getting witches next. That should make things easy for you.

It's possible. I've created a Virtual Sim Hologram life state messing around with the Maxis coding available. So yeah. But a pain in the butt and always one that patches will knock the crap out of due to so many files required. But once you know how to make your new buffs and traits and get them all playing nice with each other, you could make whatever the heck life state you like. All based on existing Maxis coding, interactions, animations and special effects of course.
