For those that say Fairies what do they add that you can't get from spellcasters. Besides wings and sparkle. I don't see too much of a difference to spend money or it versus something new
Well, if they give us True Fae, they won't all have wings or sparkle. Some will live in swamps with long stringy hair and mossy teeth (Jenny Greenteeth) some will prefer castle ruins high in the mountains and keep their caps red (pink?) with Plasma from unsuspecting sims (Redcaps) Some will be tall and graceful, gracious hosts - until you do something they consider an insult that you thought was only manners. Then they'll turn on you (Sidhe). Some have cloaks that allow them to become swans or seals (Selkies for the later), some can shift shape (phookas, Spriggans) Some look after homes (brownies, Domovoi) until you insult them and they leave... so many possibilities.
Even if we do stick to the Tinkerbelle model, we can have expanded classifications that get an extra skill boost for certain things related to their type - household faeries could be faster at cleaning and learn handiness and cooking faster. Garden Faeries could naturally have green thumbs and never have plants die on them, in addition to excelling at gardening. Maybe there are Music faeries who naturally excel at singing and playing instruments, and can enchant people to dance along to potty failure. And those are just a handful of things. Give me some time to sit down with the skill list and I'm sure I can come up with more.
And I say all this even as I stand on Team Werewolf. Because as I've said, the Faerie pack of my dreams is just too big to be a game pack, and I doubt they'd dedicate a whole expansion pack to Faerie. That and 2/3 of the Sims players wouldn't recognize non-tinkerbell Faeries as such even if they had a headline saying so.
