*[[Genie]]{{vgversion|TS2:FT}} ''(Not playable)''<ref>In ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]'', the Genie is a special case, as a Sim cannot become a Genie, and the Genie cannot become a playable Sim. Some players do not consider it a true life state.</ref>

Each life state offers new opportunities for the Sim, making certain aspects of play easier to handle and others harder.

''[[The Sims 3]]'' and its expansion packs, {{as of|lc=yes|2013|October|22}}, features  15 life states. Official game text recognizes certain kinds of life state as "occult,"  and occult Sims cannot be given makeovers by [[stylist]]s. Prior to ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural]]'', Ghost was not considered an occult status according to the game files. With ''Supernatural'', players are able to create some occults with a Supernatural Type selector in [[Create a Sim]]. These life states include normal Sims, ghosts, vampires, genies, werewolves, witches, and fairies.
 
If a celebrity woohoos with an occult life state, they may get the Publicly Disgraced moodlet.  This can occur even if the celebrity is of an occult life state themselves.
 
Several states in ''Supernatural'' (i.e. Toad Sims, Tragic Clowns, and Zombies) are not considered to be occult. They are merely temporary<ref name="permzomb">Some means of producing zombification are permanent, but the difference is that the Sim receives a "Zombified!" moodlet that does not expire rather than one that expires in 2 days. See [[List of Moodlets (The Sims 3)/Activities#Occult|List of Moodlets/Activities]]</ref> states and can only affect normal Sims. These states can be cured by removing the moodlet with the [[Moodlet Manager]] or drinking the [[Alchemy#Elixirs|Cure Elixir]].

Only the normal Sim life state was initially included in ''[[The Sims 4]]'', but [[The Sims 4/Patch 5|a patch]] reintroduced the [[Ghost#The Sims 4|ghost]] life state. With ''[[The Sims 4: Get to Work|Get to Work]]'', [[alien]]s were made available in [[Create a Sim]] for the first time in the series. In ''[[The Sims 4: Cool Kitchen Stuff|Cool Kitchen Stuff]]'', Sims can obtain the appearance of a PlantSim by eating Plant Matter ice cream; however, the effects are only temporary. With [[The Sims 4/Patch 49|Patch 49]], PlantSims were properly added in with improvements, albeit still being a temporary state. With ''[[The Sims 4: Vampires|Vampires]]'', vampires were made available in Create a Sim along with customizable vampire features and new powers. In ''[[The Sims 4: Jungle Adventure|Jungle Adventure]]'', [[skeleton]]s were introduced as a temporary life state with some special abilities. In ''[[The Sims 4: Island Living|Island Living]]'', mermaids  were made available in Create a Sim along with customizable mermaid features and new powers.  In ''[[The Sims 4: Realm of Magic|Realm of Magic]]'', [[Spellcaster]]s are introduced and are available in Create a Sim along with mystical attire and magical powers. ''[[The Sims 4: Discover University]]'' adds [[Servo]]s, which are robots Sims can build with the [[robotics]] skill.

Line 112:
*[[Mannequin (The Sims 2)|Mannequin]] is just a custom skin color that can be accessed in ''The Sims 2'' [[Create a Sim]] debugging mode. The game however does not support babies being born with this skin tone. Doing so will cause the game to crash. The players are required to use [https://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=292423 a mod] to prevent the crash and allow the baby to be born.
*Even though [[ghost]]s have been featured in all games of [[The Sims (series)|The Sims series]], ''[[The Sims 4]]'' is the first game in the PC series in which ghosts can be manually directed to use ghostly abilities, rather than that being something that was only an autonomous action. In [[The Sims 2 (console)|''The Sims 2'' for consoles]], [[Ghost#The Sims 2 (console)|ghosts]] can use their special interactions while socializing with other Sims, but no other ghost abilities than those.
*The ability to create a life state straight from Create a Sim was introduced in ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural]],  ''but was not continued for future life states. This was later reintroduced into in ''The Sims 4'' packs:  ''[[The Sims 4: Get to Work|Get to Work]]'', ''[[The Sims 4: Vampires|Vampires]]'',  ''[[The Sims 4: Island Living|Island Living]]'', and ''[[Realm of Magic]]''.
*In ''[[The Sims 4: Journey to Batuu]]'', various ''Star Wars''-inspired alien Sims are seen in the world of [[Batuu]]. However technically these are all normal sims wearing  hats designed as alien heads, hands and feet, making them  ''look''  like another species.  This only gives the illusion that they are aliens - they remain normal Sims in all aspects.
