@Rae_Regenbogen Was able to duplicate for PC/Mac for Vamps. Haven't tried Aliens.
Good Luck

@crinrict @Rae_Regenbogen I see this also on PS4. Talking to ghosts counts, but vampires, aliens don't. I've tried with alien and vampire household members, and non played alien and vampire Sims and neither count.

Still an issue as of patch 1.67.45.1020 for PC. While playing today I noticed that the interaction Admire Ghosts seems to complete the tradition. I've never seen that interaction for vampires or aliens appear. I forgot to check today but previous playing of a holiday with the Spooky tradition didn't have playing the spooky organ music count either, although indicated it should. Have never used mods or cc in my saves.

Ghosts count. Vampires still don't, for me.

Is there any solution yet?
I am still having this problem (PC, tested with Vamps).

Me, too. I thought it was because the vamp in my household is perhaps insufficiently spooky, so we went to visit Vlad, and... nada. Visiting alien friends didn't count, either.

Still seeing this issue as well. Tested with vamps on both PC and console.

Only ghost interactions that complete the traditions are displayed in the code. The other supernatural beings are not listed. Vampires, werewolves, spellcater and possibly mermaids (I don't know if they should be included) have no interactions listed and therefore only the tradition is completed if the supernatural beings are ghosts, if you listen to spooky music etc.
