Seems like the Twitterverse is in favor of faires.

Whoa, how do werewolves rank behind fairies? this is shady sorry, but werewolves are way more interesting, & have a lot more to work with, right up there with vampires. Unless you make fairies more than just these pretty fluttery little human butterflies, maybe a dullahan or better yet.. a selection of these https://listverse.com/2013/12/06/10-frightening-fairies-you-dont-want-to-mess-with/
Oh, believe me, if Faeries were coming based on real fae - or even the Fae in movies like Maleficent or Labyrinth - I'd change my preference in a heartbeat. The post Victorian Tinkerbelle/Thumbelina model is cute and pretty, but I like Fae with teeth (in the case of Redcaps, literally.)
This is what the deciding factor for werewolves vs fae was for me too, really. Real fae vs Tinkerbell basically.
Unfortunately, I doubt they'd give us in depth powers to represent all of the different types of fae, but I would hope they at least give us a good selection of "parts" that we can pick and choose to create an array of real fae to some degree. And some darkly-inclined powers too, though they'd probably have to be toned down to keep the rating of Sims. Still, I'd at least like to have something like curses that are unique to fae. (to separate them from spellcasters) and powers that give them some control over regular Sims. Both mischievous in nature (ie send them in a cleaning frenzy regardless if they have the neat trait) that lasts a long while, and some more malevolent things that may lead to a Sim's death. Vamps can already drain life spirit, so making fae able to kill Sims in some way shouldn't be too "out there." Basically, I would want some form of or reference to classification (especially Seelie and Unseelie) even if we don't get a full blown court system. For me at least, some darker powers, curses, and/or ways for fae to both torment and help Sims would be "close enough" for me since I can use my imagination for the rest.
